Beautiful on SteamDeck.

Fantastic introduction to Steam Deck

One can't help but feel like the game is needlessly convoluted and complex at times..... But when you actually manage to complete a self imposed challenge or when you finally fire a rocket, the sense of accomplishment is huge. Worth the invested time.

Beautiful beautiful game <3

If you didn't like Civ 5, you won't like this game, outright.
If you like Civ 5, keep on playing Civ 5 and ignore this.
Feels like a reskin of same game with some elements removed.

What a pity. :(

Would recommend if it were MUCH cheaper, and with no DLC BS.
Wait for the GOTY edition.

74 hous in, and have started getting used to the game mechanics.
Managed to found the Hispanic Empire, which spread all the way to Poland.
Would expand again.

Portal is a must have in any games collection: The "The Godfather" of film collections, the "Shazam" of iPhone apps.
I only wish the game is given FULL CONTROLLER support as it should be a staple within Big Picture Mode.

I love love love the game. It's very engrossing, complex and extremely well written. I wish I had more hours in my day to explore the New Vegas world.

I LOVE, LOVE this game. I wanted to try turn-based rpgs, and XCOM got me hooked. GET IT!

After overdozing on XCom, I thought this would be a fun game to try out. It's not. The Marines are clunky yet fragile. You have very limited strategic options. And, seriously, is the future made only from single file corridors? Painful turnbased gaming. I did my best to play it long enough to let it grow on me, but the game never evolved from "Find a good position to oversight".
