Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I had to turn down nearly all settings to the lowest just to make it playable after a few hours of gameplay and I was getting roughly 30 FPS on the fastest speed setting (because that's the only way to play the game effectively).
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The game runs awesome, even with a full graphics load at 4k.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
It created a fun competitive economic dynamic that rewarded heavy optimization and planning, which in my opinion, was the high point of what the game offers.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I kinda ragged on Industry Giants music for being generic midi stuff from it's era, well I be darned this games soundtrack might be technically fine and somewhat easy to listen to but it is not near as catchy as the one of IG1.
