Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's a staggering amount of build variety, with over a dozen different ships and commanders to choose from and a very large selection of weaponry and support equipment to define your ship and crew; nearly everything is viable up to the higher difficulty levels, and every playstyle that I've found has been fun and varied.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Tools and consumables are great, with some tools directly beneficial to the ship, or even overlapping and giving combat bonuses (like armor, health, or DPS).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, Void War is one of the very few games that gets difficulty levels just right.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The graphics and events really emphasize the grimdark setting, I've seen people say that the game is too grey but personally I don't find it difficult to make out details and I enjoy the aesthetic.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like that there is just enough lore for me to get a bit of a story, but have to fill in the blanks in my own mind.
