Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
14 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
At its foundation, the game embraces the full 4X formula—exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination—while layering in diplomacy, espionage, research depth, and large-scale fleet combat to create a multifaceted strategic experience.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
I also have some more minor gripes, like the removal of boarding as a mechanic, and the fact that while the 3D graphics are nice, turns and actions take a long time to process as well, due to the superior graphics.
