The contracts mode is a lot more fun but unfortunately the lack of an objective doesn't make it enticing to play. (unlock all machines? reach 1 million dollar?) I found the story in the campaign to be cute and funny.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The art style is very retro with the right colours to catch you eye so well and the audio is just the icing on the cake.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Thankfully the sound design is quite good, and listening to the sizzles and clangs of your machines working is satisfying.
