The office suite includes:
LibreOffice - Writer, a word processor with similar functionality and file support to 
Microsoft Word . It has extensive WYSIWYG word processing capabilities, but can also be used as a basic text editor.
LibreOffice - Calc , a spreadsheet program, similar to 
Microsoft Excel . It has a number of unique features, including a system which automatically defines series of graphs, based on information available to the user.
LibreOffice - Impress , a presentation program resembling 
Microsoft PowerPoint . Presentations can be exported as SWF files, allowing them to be viewed on any computer with Adobe Flash installed.

Comments and Reviews
It is open source and amazingly helpful piece of software, once you get used to, you won't go back to any other office package.
LibreOffice is not 100% compatible with Microsoft Office so if you need to import/export to Microsoft's format you will most likely have problems. WPS Office is much more compatible. If you are looking for compatibility.
Your critics is right however 1 star is a bit harsh in my opinion
Install the non-free fonts from microsoft such as times new roman, arial, etc... and you will increase the compatibility and things will look much more similar.
My favored alternative to Word. I don't use it enough to leave a detailed comparison, but I do notice it seems to update a lot (which makes me want to uncheck it during my general updates because it's lengthy and ongoing), but from what I read, updates are done on a schedule. It seems that about a week almost every month is taken for the bug fixes.
A very solid open source alternative to Word
A good alternative to Word.
Bad defaults on Windows, making the interface ugly and repulsive to Windows users compared to Word. OnlyOffice would be a better alternative to recommend to Windows users
LibreOffice is the better alternative to Microsoft Office 365, without tracking and respecting european GDPR.
