EDIT: since the Leader Pass updates, the problems have been fixed and the game is now much more stable.

I love this game, I really do. I've sinked in more hours than any other game in my Steam library. But right now, I cannot recommend the purchase of this title: since the New Frontiers update and the introduction of the new 2K Launcher, the game is simply not working anymore because of frequent crashes, freezes and turn ending infinite loops. Multiplayer is even in a worse state, can't play 10 turns without getting desynced (and once that happens, there is no way to get back on track without desyncs happening every turn or two). What's worse is that there is no apparent interest from the company to solve these bugs, the developers have clearly moved onto something else. As I said, I can't recommend the game in this poor state.
