Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Most of my playtime was while I was sick and felt unfocused; this is a great game to tend to when you want a sense of progression and fun mine-and-fight gameplay without much commitment or mental fog.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Considering the day and age we live in with graphics as advanced as they are today, I can honestly say that this game looks great for what it is, the detail to the objects are wonderfully done, whether you are close to them or far away.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
In the menu side of things, we can choose Full Screen or window mode, we have numerous resolution options to choose from, this game is properly optimized and almost any PC should be able to run it.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There's no voice acting which to me is more immersive as I remember Skyrim characters were funny....at first.
