PSN reversed their decision, but will probably require psn for other games from the start.

I thought this was made by people who enjoy sharing games with the community. Turns out the game is just the bait to get at your data, your email marketing junk folder, a threat surface for hackers, another MFA authentication workflow, one more password to save in your password keyvault, another pair of eyes on the PSN game store.

Buy only if you want an extremely early access game. Bugs make it unplayable.

The game is super fun and has a lot of potential. The animations are beautiful. The battle system is satisfying. The scale is intimate. Everything about this game promises a good city builder.

However, in its current state, you'll find yourself restarting over and over again to overcome bugs. Your oxen will stop working. Trade will report the wrong numbers. The enemy AI will steamroll you by year 2.

The bugs are worse than Cities Skylines 2

It's the best city builder around. The amount of support that Colossal Order's reputation promises makes me even more hopeful.

The EA app is broken. You can play once a month when the EA app isn't popping "Things are loading a little slow. Please hang tight as this app has no idea how software works". I would not recommend.

I left the real world and now live in the new world

Gameplay: 9/10
Story/Missions' narratives: 7/10 (Not done yet, but it's very good for a video game so far)
Graphics: 8/10


Does not have microtransactions: 0/10
Is not pay to win: 9/10

Great game. Amazing graphics. Very okay story and good quests. The nemesis system keeps things fresh.
The new army mechanics are great!

The game has microstransactions, but you do not need to pay to win. The microstransactions are closer to pay to cheat.

This is in contrast to EA with Battlefield 1 and Battlefront which push you hard to pay to win because the grind for upgrades is so tedious and sadistic that it's unethical.

This game is super fun.

There is a hidden mini game that doesn't give any rewards but is very fun. You try to beat the opponents by just nut punches.

I started getting into the card games and played this to get the basics.

This game turned out to be a great substitute when my friends aren't around to beat my ass in the paper game.

I wish the animations were simpler and it wasn't so taxing so I could play it on my MS Surface more.

This game has so much story in it you feel like the universe inside your computer is truly alive.

TW3 has a very interesting main story to it. You will definitely want to play for the main story. However, the side quests are sublime. The stories that come with the side quests are deep with unique challenges and sometimes tough moral choices. None of the side quests and contracts feel out of place. Each come with characters who have the authority and background that could be affixed to any of the main characters.

Truly amazing work. It's like playing a novel.
