Just another Game that upon release, adds more content that improves the game that they make you pay for.
It is incredible how nice to play this game on a handheld with SteamOS. Mine is not Steam Deck, but Legion Go S, so can't vouch for Deck performance. Controls are very nice. I think it's a rare game of this kind of complexity that doesn't require you to sit in front of a computer.
Отличная, продуманная, интересная, увлекательная стратегия с огромной реиграбельностью, НО!! Отвратительное качество сетевой игры по направлению стабильности и соединения. Кооп есть, но играть в него не возможно. Есть возможность играть только на серверах разработчика, но они конченые, играть не возможно. Все вопросы отпали бы, если бы разраб дал возможность создания локального сервера. Итог. для соло игры топ, для коопа в данный момент кал.
One of the best fantasy 4X game out there with a strong focus on "build your own fantasy faction" which allows for a lot of fun customisation and replayability. the game also has (at the time of writing) 3 full years of patches and polish, which makes it even better than at release. The real catch here is the DLC policy. DLCs fit very well with the "build you own faction" formula, giving you more ingredients to create more unique and interesting mechanics. The problem? Paradox DLC policy. You start strong with an amazing first year of DLC, then every subsequent year see the quality and volum of content of each new season pass get worse and worse while the price dont follow that downward trend. We are at a point where the current 3rd season pass is just not even close to be worth the asked price and feel like the devs are just cashing on the good will they garnered till now. And of course the price of the base game and its DLC never dropped (quite the opposite actually, since the 2 previous season pass don't exist anymore, you don't get the 20% discount they used to give). At the time of writing its 130 usd and don't even contain the third season pass, that kind of price is just ridiculous. For any new players I'd STRONGLY suggest to wait for a deep discount (at least 50%) to get the collector bundle. The game is good, but it's not THAT good that it command that kind of price. It's high time for Paradox to realize that if they want to threat their 4X as live service, they need to make sure their game don't become completely unafordable for new player a couple of years later. Make your money on the active players by selling them the DLC full price at release, but cut the price down of anything that is more than a year old.
chicken soup, but video game
Sehr viele Möglichkeiten seine fav Civ zu erstellen. Coole Spells und Einheiten und eine Menge Spaß mit jedem Update immer wieder neu.
The game itself is really good and fun, don't get me wrong. But the constant crashing, multiplayer bugs, softlocks, abysmal performance and other shenannigans are not worth the price of the game, let alone all the DLCs. I'll still continue playing because I am stubborn, but I cannot, in good faith, recommend purchasing this. Not for a full price.

Really cool ideas and faction building mechanics bogged down by some of the worst balancing and abysmally bad ai, don't even bother with multiplayer unless you can tolerate desyncs every five minutes. the manual battle "strategies" are not much better, but cheese is required when the ai always can field 3x the number of units you can.
One of my favorite game series, one of my favorite games for the last couple of years, and one of the best roleplaying tactical 4x's. Rarely crashes nowadays.
