The new DLC prices are a total joke. Complete rip-off merchants. Charging 1/3 of a game for a few lords and units, I won't be buying any new DLC or games from the franchise until you fix your pricing.

The game still has bugs to fix and was a complete unfinished mess at launch. Complete greed!

This has been such a lazy remake of an original game. Despite some improvements, there are a tonne of bugs and continued issues from the first game.

Pros:
* Graphics look great
* Audio including theme songs sound fantastic
* Card system improved (although new cards could be added as feels more basic) to make your
game your own

Cons:
* Disconnection issues with players not being able to reconnect to games (why is this a thing in
2020 especially after this being a problem on the original
* Tonnes of bugs of characters getting stuck on things
* Upgrades for units to go from Veteran to Guard etc, there aren't directly below each unit (this was a
problem in the original, the whole point of a remaster is to fix problems...
* Steam update not at same time of Xbox update so can't play with friends on Steam due to them not
pushing updates at the same time and have to wait till they both get updated.
* Renaming to be politically correct on a game that is set in the 1800s is ridiculous and so SJW
focused
* AI bot games, sometimes enemy character's economy stays at like 60 as they don't build their
empire as glitched out
* Lots of lagging with times when it takes up to 15 seconds to register a click
* Poorly optimised and runs at a very low FPS
* Stuck at 200 population (now that hardware is more powerful, maybe allow this to be changed to allow for bigger battles. Also allow you to select more than 50 units at a time.

Overall this is merely a slight refresh with some very minor improvements but a tonne of issues of things not fixed and other bugs. Glad I didn't buy it on Steam but play on Xbox Game pass in my subscription.

Firstly, I like the story line and was really enjoying the first 3 episodes, the voice acting and animations etc...

Although like all Telltale Games, your choices mean next to nothing. Anything major and they push you into doing something even if you say no. Your actions mean nothing, in the end the main plot will continue pretty much the same with certain things you can't prevent and little things that don't do much in the long-run. I tend to try and play the 'game' of thrones, although some things are unavoidable and you can't do anything about it.

The reason I have given it a negative review is that obviously the above point but also due to the fact that there is no cloud save for the game. I had to reload windows on my PC and obviously lost everything, I thought it would be on the steam cloud or at least Telltales own server but no... This meant it picked things differently to what I did. Although have noticed this has had little impact due to your choices meaning very little.

To conclude, if you love Game of Thrones and want a good story then this is for you, but remember to save your file onto a memory stick and realise that all the choices mean next to nothing but some minor scene changes!

Great game, best Moba available. Needs a bit of balancing and fixing in areas. But great game. THE MATCHMAKING IS GOD AWFUL THOUGH. Needs to be fixed. Ranked matchmaking in new update blows and is unfair.
