I've sunk many hours into this game ever since I had to take a few days off after getting sick. I've played through several full games as the different factions and found that each of them is very unique. I'd say that this is the biggest thing that the game has over Civilization V. If you're at all interested I recommend you read up on each of these because it would take too long to explain here. The other two big differences are a quest and combat systems. Unlike Civ5's city state quests, they don't involve racing other factions or killing another city state(there are none). They're a bit more interesting and present some semblance of a story for each of the factions. Of course, there's not much depth to be expected of quests in a 4X game, but they do make the game a bit more interesting. The combat system, on the other hand, isn't very good and is kind of tedious, especially because of the slow animations. So I wouldn't recommend picking this game up just becasuse you like turn-based combat. But still, it's there and does add SOME depth to combat which would otherwise just be RNG-based.

I recommend this game, but I'm also not sure if it feels done yet. I've been playing on the 'Hard' difficulty and I've found that diplomacy and other AI behaviors are a bit irrational. I hope this is something that will be addressed in a future patch. I expect it to be.

This game will cause racism and many other forms of bigotry, domestic violence, bipolar disorder, clinical depression, STDs, autism, and will generally ruin your life.

After waiting something like two years after I funded this game it does not live up to the hype. I feel as if the developers just decided to cash in on their name. I don't know how it took so long for them to develop something that feels so shallow. There is no real tutorial, there are no factions, the unit designs are all minimalistic, and everythign can be destroyed in one burst after some buildup. In my time playing this game I never felt any of the epic scale that was pitched to the backers so long ago. Maybe after some patches it would be interesting but right now I don't feel like touching it again.

This game is the dog's bollocks

If you like comedy, action, romance, and HATS, then you will LOVE Team Fortress 2

Now I am going to get serious.

It's probably one of the best games I will play this year. However, if you're going to be upset by a game people are calling short you might want to wait for the game to go on sale.
