The game gets worse the higher in the tiers you go, just stay at the lower levels if u want to have fun where you don't die instantly. Also the progression is obtuse and makes no sense due to featurecreep and poor UI design.

A balanced game with a lot of features, welcoming competitiveness, also... MODS ARE BACK! so ignore the reviews that talk about how mods got removed.

The things I don't like are

-you cannot slow down the game before launch for a more relaxed/micro-averse game.

-metal deposits are typically far from each other and dense clusters are either small or rare, chokepoints are basically non-existent, resulting in your bases being very wide, far from each other, and hard to defend simultaneously, I really really don't like that sort of base-building although I do understand why they opted for that design route, as it results in more dynamic gameplay instead of enabling turtling.

-advanced production structures (structures in general honestly) take WAY LONGER to build than the RTS games I'm used to playing (CNC) so I'm kind of frustrated at how hard it is to access all the cool high-tech stuff.

-I've seen some high-rank replays and the game seems to have a problem in those levels where the games just end too quickly before anyone can do any of the cool stuff that makes this RTS unique.

-having too many construction units, due to the decentralized nature of metal deposits and bases in this game, more construction units are necessary as you need at least one present in every base, but this is easily overwhelming and tiresome to me. Fortunately the game gives the player access to some pretty nifty commands like 'patrol' which, when used on fabbers, will make them assist ongoing projects at discretion. It probably isn't optimal to do that but it sure is comfy.

Great game, gets sucky in the middle though.

nice game but i keep ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up my conveyor belts and mixing them up forcing me to start over with the belts again...

I regret giving CDPR my money.

Quite fun, has too many exploiters though.

Do not buy on steam, buy somewhere else, if you buy on steam, you must use this https://github.com/ccomrade/c1-launcher to fix the game.

Good game, questionable pc port, miles better than prototype 1's port though.

how to fix the bug where you must use the pounce attack with claws but the game never marks your mission as complete: open task manager, go to the details of the prototype process and set affinity to cpu 0. I believe the bug has something to do with some mistake in making the game work with multithreading.

They kinda grabbed the anime fighting games and took the high speed aerial action out of it. It's not even a bad game it's just not what it used to be.

This game cured my erectile dysfunction.

Edit: After careful further consideration, the game is not that great...
