Target audiecne
You can play with friends who don't play much (casuals) as well as heavy gamers (core gamers) and have the same amount of fun.

Main gameplay loop
Very similar to extraction shooters, making it proven and good
-> choose a planet (map) -> collect scrap and deal with monsters -> sell scrap -> buy upgrades

Mods
The game also has a lot of modders thanks to which you can diversify the game or spersolanize it under you.

There are a variety of monsters, and you have to deal with each one in a different way. The maps also have a higher chance of certain monsters, so you can come up with different strategies to deal with them.
