- You can jump in the game without beeing ultra-hardcore nerd : it's easy to understand how to play, the graphics are not repulsive.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Personally, I like to listen to the Rebel Galaxy Soundtrack or the NCS - All Releases playlist on youtube, but of course it is entirely up to you what music you want or if you want any music at all.
