The lore of this game is fantastic and the level of customization that you can achieve with your soldiers is unmatched.

98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love how cool the design for the weapons, soldier upgrades and Pandorians are.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This opens up a ton of options for customization, and I'd also consider the random skills to be much more relevant as there are some that open up entirely new classes of weapons that can allow for far more flexibility in the way you set up the soldier.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Starting with the good, all the models, textures, lighting and general art style are rather solid.
