Personally, I went through several stages: farming in Empire space, mining, Level 4 missions, and later living in Low-Sec, where the PvP side of the game truly starts to make sense.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you want to FLY and enjoy nearly all the same aspects (mining, combat, economy, trade, exploration) plus the ability to land on planets and drive around in cool dune buggies, and station docking that requires true flying ability and finesse - all with a much easier learning curve, I would suggest Elite Dangerous.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics have improved a lot, the ships look beautiful, the visual effects are far more modern, and many expansions have enriched the universe.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
PVE in this game is GREAT, I freaking love it, the NPC's ARE enough to have a very fun time and make real friends but the PVP ruins the whole environment.
