Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
35 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
Every piece of DLC is amazing, and adds such an incredible amount of flavour and replayability to this game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is part of its charm, in some respects, as you problem-solve to preserve your country until the end of 1991.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
It's the ability to do both those things, while building an excessive number of TV towers and imagining that you're broadcasting the amazing in-game soundtrack to every citizen of Europe, constantly, at 100 decibels, forever.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
This game is a challenge to say the least, and the graphics are beyond simple, but for me those two things are part of its fairly unique charm.
