There is plenty of posibility of your Corebots customization to fit to your play style.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is depth (sort of) in the combat in that you can "harvest" power cores from the robot enemies (the bigger ones).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Sandstorms, massive ruins, and derelict facilities form the backdrop to her journey, and the improved lighting and texture work of the Definitive Edition give Far Eden more depth and color than the base version ever had.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For audio, the voice acting is great, the sound effect is great, and also the Corebot's sounds are different and can have emotional tone, but for music and soundtrack I can't say it's great.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The other half is an auto-aim shooter (controller strongly recommended!) where a small robot is your helper and later on the main source of your damage.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In the other hand, character models of Joule, the main character, and all robot companions are very good and detalied, Joule is very likeable visually and her personality, and robots are cute and charming.
