Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
131 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You also find by far the best crafting parts during these missions; that's an incentive that links them to space operations and a nice design touch.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has so much to offer, from ship weapons, to thrusters, devices, and more, I won't spoil just how much there is to discover.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With a smooth UI and adjustable difficulty, you can also make it as oldskool or not as you like too.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has depth, decent story, and a heck of a selection of possibilities regarding builds.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Strong recommendation for Approaching Infinity if you're interested in this genre and don't mind the indie game graphics and controls.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects are simple but do a good job conveying information, there are lots of little visual cues that help make things more intuitive, great interface, mostly perfect default keybindings (but also completely configurable), etc.
