The gameplay is very different, if sometimes repetitive, but the different environments change the basic rules of combat often enough that it feels good.
Story

I would argue some of the side stories are better than the main campaign.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

However once done, do the CULT mini campaign which is a good mini romp stompy, very easy, very quick to get through and shows of majority of ships and weapons BUT GIVES YOU CONTROL OF THE KRAKENS and the squid dude halliphons or whatever the name is, very fun, worth it just for that.
Graphics

7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design is great too, cannons and explosions and environmental sounds all come together really nicely to produce a believable experience.
