Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay is easy and satisfying, though it can get a bit grindy later on.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
In terms of progression, the gap between extremely poor and extremely rich is very short, especially with later quests granting infinite energy sources and being able even before then to generate endless power with just some aluminum and a silo.

I 100%'ed the original campaign (excluding dlc). 10/10 space exploration game, the co-op mode is very fun, and the mechanics are great.
