They made the game so good and the progression way better, and also optimized the game very well even though i have a 5070 my friend who has a quadro 2000 still managed to run it at 120 fps at high graphics.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
14 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
love the game so far story is nice and it runs well i get 120fps at 4k with every graphic setting maxed exepct for reflictions which are at high but the game is very cpu demanding so lower end cpu might struggle with alot of complex builds but overall really good game 9/10

it is quite nice co-op experience that scratches the same itch as space engineers.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
Runs very smooth with lot of background apps unless you spawn an free big object your fps can drop to 1 but most the times in my time it was around 60 fps.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
6 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
The weapons do feel different and I feel the devs tried to vary each weapons approach a bit.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
5 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
Scrap Mechanic seemed to scratch that itch with the addition of multiplayer, but I should warn Gamers that isn't the run of the mill type.
