Is the game really that bad ? :o

no. It is simply a P2W mobile cash grab that was made instead of the PC god game they took money for. Stupid amount of clicking at first. Preschool advancement mechanic to meh tech tree. The sculpting was OK, until they added paywall to it. The housing management was fair, until they added paywall to it. There was really nothing else. Then they rebuilt it because mobile and everything was less functional. Even the kinder-care dumbed down tech tree became more so and more paywall than ever. They added less than meritorious not really functional resources and a happiness paywall to try and get some folks to spend cash early in the mobile game. They continued to pile more minimal content all with oblivious paywall and blatant mobile mechanics. Of special note is the mini-game totally out of place pure tripe added because they thought it would be quick since it didn't require any complex systems. The fact that it was vomited out with the single intent to eliminate the need to actually create a cohesive game was so apparent as to be insulting. And here we are.

So no, not "that bad". Just not what was sold or ever represented and a monstrous waste of opportunity and potential displaying a shocking lack of any concept of business ethics and declaring to the world an utter cluelessness of the industry, PR, and how the tubes full of cats works.

Pretty much, i paid for a PC game not a P2W "Moble Game" like he said above me. It's sad to the game had such potential too! Well just another Peter Molyneux Cash-Grab & Run Disappointment...

We all knew it could happen, he has done it before. But a lot of us gave him one last chance.
And he mucked it up again /Facepalm! Who is running things over there? Monkeys in Suits...
No, no monkeys in suits would have done it 100 times better ;)

Unfortunately, Godus has been moved in my 'Game List'. A place where i send games to Die, the [Fraudulent Games] Category... I only look at it once in a while if i see a new notice.

i have recently played thru the game again after ignoring it for the past year.it hasn't progressed forward in its development, maybe sideways. the art style is cool and simple. however, the game is empty, hollow, aimless, unmotivated. mostly sad. i have no idea what the devs hope to add by implementing combat, but i bet it will be slow, repetitious, and unrewarding. finally, i completely understand why most of the original team has bailed, but i am overwhelmingly confused as to why anyone has recently joined. i cannot imagine letting anyone publish a pic of my face in association with godus. dear resume, whoops

[Husbando]

Godus would be much better with Dinosaurs.

Yup!

Oops OP, I brought it because it was a Molyneux God game, it's sculpting is its one redeeming feature at the moment, check it out for free in the apple and android stores if you can, it's slower than PC as they try to get you to spend money (paywalls) on Gems (PC has a pit where followers are converted to gems). But if you like it wait for a sale then if you changed your mind quickly refund it before the 2 hours/14 days!

I don't think it's bad, but theres just nothing more then maybe an hour's worth of game.

[Praesmeodymium]

Consider... the games only real asset on pc is sculpting... they just had a competition where you could get free ♥♥♥♥, and in 2 whole weeks there was exactly 1 entry....

That seems like a pretty clear sign of how bad it really is at this point.
Will it get better? well they have been telling us it will for almost 2 years now here on steam while removing gameplay the whole time. Sure they added a little lipstick on this pig every once in awhile... but its a pig wearing lipstick

This game. Is bad. Not becorse ites a horrid boring game but becorse any othere god game dose it better. Even that crap fest From dust. Its bad cause it dose not hold up to the first and second generation of god games.

thanks for the information guys!

I really enjoyed the first Black & White. I even enjoyed the second one, despite the change in direction.

Godus makes me vomit into my mouth a little every time I think of it ...

Peter Molyneux had an opportunity to take all lessons learnt, utilise the best of current technology and create an instant classic.

Instead -- this abortion.

It's clear that next to every facet of the creative process is bungled - initial vision, artistic rendering of it, refinement, technology .. what platforms, etc .. it's just all a craptacular mess from what I can see.

Molyneux should be rolling over in his grave.

(I know that he's not dead .. that's meant metaphorically .. insofar as his career .. reputation as a creative visionary .. is officially dead)

[KiwiPete]

They reversed engineered the game from the kickstarter promotion - they took it so far backwards that it became a singularity and then "Poof!" it dissappeared from my PC.
