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.

The lore and story is very interesting, and the game doesn't take itself seriously.
Difficulty

13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not too difficult and actually relaxing and cosy, with fun gameplay that is the perfect balance between engaging and always giving you a task to complete but not grindy.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The lack of UI, handholding from the game, model designs and animations, and finally sound design make for an immersive experience.
