Terribly unstable, constant crashes, constant desync, we cant even play this top tier game we paid top tier price for.

Its a somewhat shallow game, with a gameplay loop that seems to annoy most people, but i really did enjoy my play-through, and by the end, i was left wanting more, which can only be a good thing.

Summary:
Its a turn based tactical game, where unlike Xcom, you dont move each character each turn, you have a set number of moves, 3 by default, that can be used by any superhero, the battles are played out more like a puzzle than a action packed fight, usually there are certain enemies you need to eliminate in order, to clear the mission. After the fights, theres a vast contrast in gameplay as your taken to the mansion, chat, hang out and power up, research etc.

Story:
Well, its terrible, i was never invested in it, but i didnt let that get in the way of my fun factor while playing the actual fights. The mansion gameplay itself is so out of place, giving more of an 'Adams Family' feel to the game. A lot of dark and eerie stuff around, cauldrons spells and witchcraft, so out of place in a superhero adventure game, i was constantly puzzled by where exactly this entire theme came from, it really does feel like your playing two completely seperate games at times.

Look and Feel:
I have to say, i was so impressed by the music in this game, it really amps up the immersion unlike any other game ive played, sounds are great too, every punch, slash and knockback really feels great. Graphics are meh, i was really unimpressed by the fact each character, especially the women, are the exact same template model, making them not so unique. I feel the females especially got a little neglected, all same bust size and booty size, very generic and boring. The outfits also are very meh, you will get 100 variations of jeans and cargo pants, all the exact same template.

Overall:
I got the game on special at 80%, defiantly worth it, the negative reviews are correct, the loop can be boring at times, a little too much talking, the friendship and bonding part could have been fleshed out a little more, since it makes up such a vast part of the game. But in my opinion, its all salvaged by how fun the combat is, and the immersion the game itself creates. I did enjoy it, and i would reccomend the game to any fan of tactical turn based combat.

What should be a fun X-com type game is sadly just a puzzle solver, with almost each battle having a '1 turn solution' to get an A rank. Yes, one single turn, rush into the base with a fast scout unit and win the battle, and the devs actually REWARD this stupid gamey play by giving you extra exp and income boosts for turn 1 clearances.

So, with that said, ignore all those abilities, all the other classes, all those cool perks each character has, its all meaningless, you will literally never have to actually defend anything, if you give the enemy just one turn, your already losing, might as well reload the mission and try again.

Great game mechanics, diplomacy and unit selections, marred by the worst AI i have ever seen in a total war game.

Really loved this game at first, but after playing 40 hours now in my campaign, im noticing its just too darned easy becuase of the AI being so bad. The way they handle units is appalling, they will rush you every single game, basically one unit at a time, even when they are set to defend. The way units retreat when in a rout is so odd, they completely waste mortars by dismounting the mortar, then rushing at your front line with the useless crew. 10 men charging into a line of 2000 men, what the heck?

Then there's the campaign AI, which is just as bad. I had Sweden offer me 1000 gold for a trade agreement, then they would cancel it next turn, then offer me another 1000 to trade again, rinse repeat they did this every turn, giving me free money. The scholars just run back and forth on roads, completely wasted, why aren't they researching like they should be?

Ship battles, wow so disappointing, they surrender so easily. The formations are terrible as the AI will struggle to get 8 ships in a line, with the lead ships stopping completely to wait for the others, making them a sitting duck and if you try to micro them all, they all do stupid things like stop completely when they reach a waypoint, why on earth would they do this?

I feel just a little more polish was needed to make this a lot more playable, and after playing almost all other total war titles, i find this ones AI to be just downright insulting to the customer who purchased this game, and im suprised it was released with such terrible coding.

I was looking for a relaxing Ant colony game to watch, not a fast clicker RTS that strains my reaction times.
Was loving it till the 3rd quest arrived, which is a time based challenge.

I played SimAnt as a kid, i was hoping this would be more like that game, it plays nothing like it.
I didnt like the way food was managed, or the way the ants were upgraded, i didnt like the annoying way you have to move your ants via scent trails. The ants never seem to interact and i really didnt enjoy the way combat was managed. Just too much playbook RTS and not enough creative unique.

Exactly the same game but in a snow setting.

I really expected this game to be an improvement from the original, was hoping for a little more ease of use when it comes to cargo and some more freedom with the track building, but i was highly disappointed. Nothing really stood out to me as new and better, the views are still bad, no ride along modes, everything seems very scaled down and toyish. This really should hev been just a basic DLC, im kinda sick of companies giving a fresh coat of paint to a car then trying to sell it off as brand new. Same engine, same coding, same features. Save yourself some pain and just stick with the original

Refunded.

A trucking trader game that had potential, marred by its own overabundance of features.

So at first glance this game looked quite predictable, simple and easy to pick up. How wrong i was. The tutorial takes around 4mins and explains 3 aspects of the game - trade, travel and resting. The rest of the game is up to you to work out, and there is just so much going on, my hour of play was mostly a experimental 'click on this to see what happens' adventure. Combat is not explained, nor upgrades and certainly nothing was mentioned about the convoluded crafting system just to name a few of the big problems

Some of the features i didnt want, or expect from this game:
- A very detailed character creation menu, with a perk list that would make fallout fans excited, but so dumbed down that there was basically just 20 variations of 'this reduces stress'
- Relationships, including flirting and sexual advances, even has the option to be bi
- Crafting, and i mean a huge list, with like 12 sub categories
- Cooking recipes, with a minecraft type crafting window, which is just a trial and error 'gotcha' system to waste your food, most recipes ending with 'inedible meal' being the result.
- Alcohol and drunk mechanics, having just one drink with a person at the bar gets you drunk for like half a day, meaning you cant drive or do anything if your alone
- Labouring, as in working for random settlers. Like cmon am i a truck driver or a farmer, or a hunter? pick a lane

I could have really done without any of these above features, i mean the game seems to impress so much on you, like its trying to be everything at once, all these added features yet something absolutely significant, like combat, is just pathetic, i honestly laughed to myself watching it.
Other simple things like the fact you cant sleep in your truck, which is clearly a sleeper model, and if your in town its either sleep in an inn, or not at all. If in town and you need to sleep without paying, you need to drive outside, pitch a tent, then sleep in the wasteland with the zombies, like .... why?

I was looking forward to playing a cheap little indie game to burn a few relaxing hours on, but this game feels like its trying to be skyrim or something, just so much junk features that i really didnt want to spend literally hours learning all the little perks and aspects of the gameplay. If i wanted something with such depth, i would have purchased a AAA adventure game with good writers and wonderful looking graphics. This is a classic example of the saying 'less is more' and if it was up to me, id cut half of this game away and leave just the trading and truck upgrading part, then improve on the combat. But thats just my 2 cents.

Pretty much kills the tactical element of combining cards.
Basically introducing cards that combine with almost anything, removing the huge reward for building a specific fleet.
From here downwards, all the DLC just add unbalanced and lazily thought out cards.
Its a cashgrab from here onwards.

Yet more trash gambit cards that completely unbalance the game from turn 1
If you are going to avoid any DLC, let it be these gambit ones.

Pretty decent DLC, adds cheap leaders to the selection which can trigger abilities when you wish.
Since you can hold them on the side till you need them, it does add some more fun and options to your strategy.
