Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's fun and it has a lot of depth; I'm barely scratching the surface after 47 hours (at the time of writing), and honestly it's been a blast.

There’s a satisfying progression: from basic scripts and a handful of servers to whole networks, optimized routines, and advanced automation.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I have played a great many games and bitburner lags more than any other game I played recently, and that includes full graphics games like POE2, Skyrim, and KCD2.
