Although it has great potential I would not recommend buying it now. The start grind and events that happen (always in the same order) are getting very repetitive, especially since you hardly make any money at the beginning and go bankrupt and have to start from scratch (with the same events in the same order again and again). Would love to see some more balancing and economy tips, but for now I am done playing this game untill it gets proper mechanics. Hope it gets out of EA one day.

I love this game. Played it for years now but never bothered with the expansions. For 20 euros it's not half bad for all that you get extra compared to the base game. I've waited for the patches because of the buggy reviews and I've only encountered two bugs, with tourism and the trains. Certainly not game breaking, but I hope they fix that too. But it's a nice, slow game nonetheless with great music and terraforming Mars slowly is just nice.

This is the most in-depth grand strategy ever produced. If you liked EU4, you will love this. It's improved in almost every way. Provinces now have territories within them, which makes taking land more fulfilling. It is way harder than EU4 though, combat that is. I especially like the economic system too, it's super intricate. I also like the estate system, once you get the hang of it you can have sick crown power and start taxing those bastards. Spent about 40 hours so far and finally understanding it a bit, started like 5 times over. And my current game will propably suck at the end. But boy, do I have entertainment again for the next 10+ years. Bravo, Paradox.

Much fun, although not perfect yet but it's early acces for a reason. Not all automic tasks are done by employees, although the routing it set properly. So please fix that. Tired of cooking all ♥♥♥♥ myself. WOuld recommend highly though, it's fun gameplay and rewarding to grow your drug empire. Cool to read this is made by just one guy, props to the programmer!

This game is the best RTS I have played in a while! Did the first Artreides campaign, and it's very addictive (left in running for a week in the background, so I could get back to it fast). Reminds me of Dune 2000 but better in many ways. I like the espionage and influence ideas. When you play the first mission you are like 'meh, is this it', but I gets harder naturally as you learn to use all the elements of the gameplay. I like the strategic map too, a bit like oldschool C&C as well. The gameplay is pretty slow, but it suits the desert and theme. And a nice soundtrack too. 9.5/10

Picked this gem up on sale. Immediate addiction! I haven't seen such an original game in may years and keep wondering where the story is going. The games keeps you busy, so you will have to replay your broadcast to see all the fun little things they've put up in it. The actors are really good as well. And the subjects are ridiculous as hell, nearly choked with the ball game report. Get this!

What can I say? Everyone is a little autistic, and this pleases that part of you no matter what the percentage is. It is so frikking hard to learn, but so very satisfying once you figure it out and your operation starts to run smoothly. You can make it as hard as you want with the starting settings though. If you are like me then you will start over again once you learnt something new and important and want to implement it in your city. I'm 140+ hours on the counter now and nowhere near self-sufficient and still learning the game. This game will give you very much bang for your buck. The workshop items are truly an added experience as well! I think this is the most addictive game I've played since Mad Games Tycoon 2 got out. Super highly recommended, especially if you like to combine city-builders with games like Prison Architect, Tropico and Railroad Tycoon kind of games.

Don't buy this if you want a life

♥♥♥♥ game keeps crashing at start up

Very much fun, once you get the hang of it! Very intuitive controls, satisfying to construct and optimize transport lines. The only downside I could think of is that there is no competition, this makes the free play dull after a while because once the money is flowing in there is not much to do except build more lines, but why should you if there is no competitor..
