Amazing Story, probably one of the best around. Passable port with some minor crashes.

Great immersion. Feels quite well suited to Japan, and absolutely a lot of fun, even though it has a non-standard RPG feel to it.

After all these years, still the best card game around. Lovely balance and it keeps alive even though no active development ongoing. Definitely hope that with W4 the game will go into active development again!

Didn't expect much, but this might be close to my GOTY. Honestly, I like the jokes and the overall theme of the game. Definitely recommend it!

Note: My steam time is not reflective, as I have been playing this game for 100s of hours outside of steam.

The best Airline management sim out there. Highly recommend if you like to manage an airline in real time.

I honestly really want to recommend this game, but in it's current state I cannot. Bugs make the completion of chapter 1 unplayable for me currently. Engineers cannot be assigned and you get stuck without a way out. I hope the developers will fix this and I will fully recommend.

Some encountered issues:
EDIT: It seems some of these bugs can be resolved by rebooting the game
No difficulty selection (design problem)
Bugs (as mentioned above, first playthrough these did not happen, but now I cannot start over) / bugs encountered: Cannot assign units, cannot order goods, cannot assign level ups.
Game slows down in FPS, especially once more entities spawn (chapter 2)
Tutorial design quite tedious (blocks full UI, and you have to click it away before performing action)
Would like to see a playthrough with some more resources
A lot of quests are time sensitive, but they dissapear before the actual timer reaches 0.
Loaned from another post, but very true:
-LOTS of repeat bios for soldiers. I get it, a lot of men are gonna have similar stories, but these are literally copy-pasted bios which causes the game to lose to diversity points. Additionally, many of the soldiers had female names- not something that would've been common or realistic back then. And I'm talking about typical unisex names. One example was a male soldier named Emily. There's more.
-*THE INJURIES*. I for one was expecting to read about/see specifics when it comes to injuries, but instead they just break it down by "Surgery, Trauma, and Chemical" injuries. There's no specifics for the injuries (call me sick, but I wanted to see/read some gritty details. It would add to the game immensely. If someone's flesh is melted off by gas, or the respiratory system is failing due to gas, or a bullet wound hit a specific area on the body, I want to know about it. It'd be nice.


Good:
Engaging
Sorta good storyline with a look at recent events too (as sort of a joke)
Felt the actual stress which fits the timeframe and type of game.

preclaimer: I literally own every single piece of Creative Assembly content they have ever made for their games, and this is the first time I honestly felt robbed.

Update: Content has been updated and it makes for a decent package now. Price is still high and not really in line with what a DLC pack offers, but at least the package is somewhat decent now.

Actual content is fun and refreshing with the factions playing different from their core races.

The game is not perfect, and there are certainly some bugs and cut content that really should be fixed (bugs are major focus currently and updates are coming out quickly). Cut content is something you feel in Act3 and hopefully gets ''uncut'' in the future. Act 1 is probably a 99/100, with the other acts scoring lower due to earlier said bugs and cut content. Will update in the future if this gets tackled..
