What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Graphics are great at this price point as well.
The extensive upgrade system ensures that fleets evolve throughout the campaign and remain engaging to develop.
I think the UI and gameplay needs to be refined before paying that price - especially if each DLC will add new ships and abilities.
Very accessible 4x, with all the expected elements (strategic management movement, tactical combat, research and development) packaged into a very user friendly and understandable interface.
2) The sound effects are excellent.
Campaign mode needs a few more options and a lobby system to match players together

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
