Afterwards you can play multiple sandbox missions; so there is really a lot of replayability.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story itself is suitably light-hearted for the most part, though that last mission and expansion turn up the stakes and are slightly more serious (slightly...) The characters were all very strong, well-written an engaging, carried by the excellent voice-work.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design was also very good; popping the critters, pests and chitters had a very satisfying splat.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love that you can play this in story mode, Challenge mode to increase the difficulty or you can just sandbox each level.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics, sounds, design, atmosphere, humor, length,... it all ranges from good to very good.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can, however, expect snarky humor, a fun if slightly repetitive gameplay loop and charming world/character design.
