Gameplay

The designs are good, but the personalities are basic: Rosie's a blind mechanic with a happy personality, Jade's a hard-ass administrator with a soft side, Anthony's a cold veteran with PTSD, Miles is a business-man who likes money and expensive art, Yuki and Kenji are artist-types with flirty dispositions and open relationships, etc.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Viridis Primus and the colonists are full of personality, making the gradual development of the story something that's hard to not care about.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Well, it's a charming game with a pleasant art style, and I felt that it had enough of a unique feeling to recommend checking out.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Additionally, there is excellent character customization as well, and even just in the year I've owned the game, I've seen many updates and lots of progress toward improving the game in a variety of ways.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I liked the rising difficulty to get some materials, but at any point you can get any material with hard work or time, there were no bugs which prevented this and i encountered almost no bugs and no crashes at all.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound effects are slightly lacking, though what's here is appropriate and well produced.
