I usually do not buy games on day 1 because they usually have bugs, problems, early access drama, never get done and so on. This game I tested and watched parts of it at Gamescom 2022 and it was indeed a day 1 buy for me, even if I wanted to wait at first.

I am not disappointed at all. The game is difficult and sometimes complicated which is good. Not a game which you just play through in 2 hours and put it aside.

If you liked Frostpunk, like dealing with micro management, problems of your citizens and like the struggle of your civilization to survive, this game will be something for you.

Pro:
- Interesting storytelling + cutscenes
- Amazing soundtrack
- Tutorial material, which you should read
- Having 3 layers to work in keeps you busy without much idle time
- It is challenging
- For day 1 buy the quality of the game is extremely good.

What could be better:
- Have the advisors guide you more in the beginning
- Transfering material and people between sections is not really clear

I cannot find really much negative things to say about the game. Yes the game is difficult and if you don't have anyone to ask read the tutorial which is being displayed, you will probably need it.

There are a few QoL related things which should be addressed but I bet they will be addressed soon, as with the latest patch and all the accidents happening.
