Just as expected, this game is a failure
When will Kalypso realize they do not make/publish good games? Dev's - is 61% positive review score acceptable for you?

Yes I was so happy to see a new genre...very disappointed.. And the worst I cannot get a refund..

TW Warhammer has 64% and made in the top ten of the best selling Steam games of 2016. They'll be fine.

I have no problem with the game, perhaps you set yourself up to be disappointed? Takes me a lot longer than 1 day to be disappointed in a game, but that is me. Is it because, lke me, you are having a hard time balancing being in the black and getting council approval for projects? I was making money - a railroad would help make more money - the council could not be pursuaded to pass it. Now is that the game or my playstyle? I'm going to try to adapt my playstyle, not throw up my hands and say thie game is a fail. Myabe it's me that is a fail at this game? I'd say give it longer than 24 hours before you trash it - unless you just got it so you could trash it.

i like the game, its just hard to keep a positive cash flow.. and it seems to leak some memory.

I love the game, it needs to some fixes and updates to fix some of the obvious issues but it has alot of potential and in a few weeks i see the score moving upwards to Mostly positive. The problem is all of these people who have 2 hours of playtime rating it badly.

OP, while I share your views on Kalypso (usually all they do is to take a 20 year old game design, cut 30-50% of features, add a layer of paint and try to sell it as something new,.. yes tropico is an exception to that, they add one building and a modded map and call it a new game) this game is something new for once and unlike the majority of city builders there is an ecconomic challange to it (ingame time is a resource not an afk-encorragment to gather money).

I will not deny that it currently is quite unpollished (dialogs, tooltips, some minor bugs) but so far nothing that makes it unplayable or spoils the game.
Imho a 61 review would fit what I would give it in its current state with the potential for a solid 70 but than again I am one of those that see the full spectrum of the scale where 90+ is reserved for truely remarkable innovative expiriences and 20 is the most any gamebreakingly buggy game could ever hope for (looking at the majority of bethesda and ubisoft games).

Then why they do not buy all the other warhammer games with better review scores?

It's a good game. They just need ALOT more tooltips, and making it more clear what affects what, and what effects is in place. Ohh and fix that memory leak, and maybe implement more maps?

They don't make good games? Tropico games are fantastic, hell out of here with that bs.

Not played this game, but Tropico rules. I Played them all from Tropico 1 to Tropico 5.

What exactly makes this a bad game in your opinion, OP?

Says the guy who doesn't own the game.
Ok people who actually owns the game, what exactly makes this a great game?

Well, this isn't really a bad game or a good game. I was also pretty much disappointed with the results which is why I take my refund on this.
