Story

Its annoying, but at least it makes sense from a narrative point of view.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think with the DLC it finally has enough content and the gameplay sandbox is actually complete with air combat.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
and I can confidently say after putting 80 hours into the Demo and some more hours in the final released game, I love the PvP in this game, Every move feels deliberate, the mech;s are slow but powerful and dominate a battle with their huge size and powerful weapons!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really, really like the aesthetics of the game, though the graphics themselves don't do justice to the original concept art, and the uniquely strange pieces of dieselpunk weaponry often looks like silly plastic toys.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The setting gets well fleshed out in the lengthy campaign which has a nice story with solid voice acting and does not have the tutorial type feel many RTS campaigns have (except the early missions).
