I'll start by saying I haven't played the real thing yet, but I've wanted to for a long time.

When I read that this edition was coming I was very excited, bought it right away, played the tutorial (which, although a little confusing at first, helped me to understand a little more). I have played a few of online matches by now.

I can say that, having not played the physical version, I can imagine and understand that this experience won't be the same, the screen might look overloaded with info at first, or maybe maybe scrolling through your habitats and other player's views is not the best. I think I understand some of the negative reviews, but I enjoy the game anyway.

Of course I'd love to play the real thing, but being covid-isolated (and can't afford the price right now) this is a great way to know the game, play with other people, once you familiarize with the interface, it's not so complicated anymore (at least for me). In the end, I think it's fun to play it!
