A fun chill puzzle game. Has pleasing graphics and a slightly addictive gameplay loop. An easy recommend, especially on sale.

It's a modern continuation of the classic Warband!

A great game. While the base game already has a lot of things to do (a relatively fun campaign, especially the DLC ones). If you start looking into the custom game modes or even workshop mods, the amount of things to do increased by a lot. There are many communities one could join with all their own focus.

Endless oppurtunities, lots of fun to be had

Such a great sandbox for playing all types of board games with friends. So many great mods. Almost anything that you can play in real life, you can play here. Sometimes even better!

While this game is apparently only 50% complete and still in early access, it does feel a lot more complete than a bunch of "finished" games. The gameplay and it's mechanics are awesome and there is great playstyle variability! While you can definitely play it solo, it clearly is designed for playing with friends.

The main issue with the game personally is the grindyness (i.e. the amount of resource gathering required to progress your tools and equipment with the later materials is wild). I feel like I blast through the wood-stone, copper-bronze age to the iron and silver age, but then I need to just grind a ton to build and upgrade the stuff I need. One Swamp Dungeon allows one person to either make a set of armour and tools or upgrade a few tools/weapons to max(ish) level.
Luckily there are mods to help improve this.

While the grind itself does not feel too bad, the gameplay still feels fun enough, it does become repetitive and drains the charm out of the game. I feel like this could be balanced a bit better, but I am not sure what would be the best path for this.

Going back to mods, if you are a person with a busy life or you just do not want to spend too much time on games, I heavily recommend finding quality of life mods which allow you to be more efficient and grind less, as they do not take away from the game much, if at all.

I highly recommend this. I didn't have any major or game-breaking bugs so it seems like most of that side has been fixed and also there are mods that fix other bugs too.

I enjoyed the story of this game immensely and do not want it to end. I think I've completed all the missions there are but hard to check. But I played this more for the story and tougher missions anyways. I am a huge huge space nerd and sci-fi fan. So I am definitely the target audience for this game. It got me immersed and emotional in the story. I can't wait for the remastered original Mass Effect to fix the sin of not having played through them and I can't wait to see where the new game goes. EA, please don't screw this up.

This is a wonderful little thing. Not sure if to call it a game or a tool. But it's a very well made sandbox to play in. There are some simple rules that lay the framework and then little easter egg style things to discover along the way as well. Definitely very relaxing and might be great for DnD map making, or maybe storybooking or finding inspiration!

Living up to Civ V is not an easy thing, and they understood this and have tried to build on what Civ V was and also change it a bit so people wouldn't expect the same/be ready for changes.

In general the game is good! I have all the DLC and I don't have any major issues. I am a pretty low level player in terms of strategies and so on, latest game I just expanded a bit, and then focused on building tall and trying to go for a science/culture victory while supporting my empire with trade and religion (money in-flow). Never built up an army, and I managed to never get attacked. I won by accidental diplomatic victory.

The game is fun, especially if you like Civ V and have enjoyed other similar games too (Endless Legends, Age of Wonders, 4X strategy games like Stellaris, CK2, EU4, and so on).

A great little world open world game. The atmosphere of this game is brilliant, the only problems it has are some performance issues and honestly I personally would like more stuff to do. More life in the world.

One of the greatest underwater base-building survival games out there!
