Good tactical game around the theme of cycling. The presentation is similar to a board game but the decision making is very close to other cycling management games. Each race is very quick to play and the seasons fly by.
Worthy alternative to the most famous name in cycling management if you want a faster pace and like the board game presentation

Unfortunately this game doesn't feel finished. The tutorial is messy, and the turn-by-turn mode has game-breaking bugs.

Dice allocation game with interesting mechanisms (tiredness, wounds, sickness, curse and so on) and specialisation of dice into 5 different roles. A bit more base scenarios would have been welcomed, but there are a lot of possible variations for replayability.

Simple game that could scratch an itch for playing Diplomacy online on a larger scale, but the choice of a F2P monetization model designed for whale hunting removes any interest.

Nearly 25 years since Grand Prix Manager by Microprose to get a good formula 1 management game, but it's finally there and it is a great one!

I'm pleasantly surprised as initial reviews had lowered my expectations, but this is really a faithful adaptation of the Battletech tabletop supported by a good story in career mode.

Early Access Review
Definitely fun game so far, let's see what it becomes over time.

Huge disappointment. The game is attempting a mix of EU4, Victoria 2 and CK2 and fails at all.
From Victoria you have population strata management but it is far from being engaging and the UI requires way too many screens and buttons to press to act on the population.
We're also miles away from EU4 strategic and diplomatic planning. Wars are easy and you can gobble up so many territories at once that you become a superpower way too quickly for it to feel rewarding.
Finally the family management part is also not convincing and the characters felt more than just a resource to allocate in a slot than anything else.

To be fair though, the new trade system is a bit interesting.

I'm sure Paradox is able to improve it over time, but I would have liked to have something playable and enjoyable before we reach the 100 euros mark. This is shameful from a company with such experience in designing grand-strategy games to deliver such an empty shell at release and so far in quality from what they are able to do. Yes they used to start low and improve over time, but that was acceptable 10 years ago when there was no alternatives. Now there are: the other Paradox games. Paradox is not an indie studio anymore and should adjust their release policy accordingly.

Just the best RPG I ever played. Pacing, story, atmosphere, it's impressive.
