Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is heartwarming yet sad and my hyperfixation would let me talk about it for hours and hours on end.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

You can fly out at your own leisure, backed by an amazing soundtrack/soundscape.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The aesthetics are also beautiful (and will run on even a semi-bad computer, I have a nice computer now but originally played it on a computer with an Intel i7, if you turn down the graphics all the way it will hopefully run and not otherwise impede your playing) and the music is lovely (and plot relevant!).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's got well thought out space physics that are accessible to everyone with a little practice but allows for high skill challenges for players that want the challenge and reward of high difficulty.
