Gameplay is really engaging , and game dynamics totally differs from, say, Civ, or other 4x I've played. My main issue with the game is the color palette. Everything is so grimmish and darkish, that sometimes it looks like red and gray are the only colors in the world. I'd love to see graphics improvement towards readability, because as of now, everything kinda blends into dirt.
Game is playable, which is rather low aim to take, given how wonderful SF1 was. Graphics looks muddy, and for how high system reqs are its unacceptable, but whats worse, it's strategy game - meaning you can hardly see what you build, units all look like twins, finding a building you need is impossible. Sector system is implemented in such a manner that you can not navigate and effectively manage your base, worker assignment is a disaster - its not a civ game, its overburdening player with nonsence . And as an RPG - your cardboard characters aren't interesting at all, gone are challenges of char creation, we all play almost the same "Tahar" with 6 skills to chose from. Ah, and they've cut 3 races...
