Funny little game at the beginning, but then you just can't stop playing :)
Also I really appreciate all the real knowledge authors have linked in the descriptions, You get links to videos explaining real live Machine Learning concepts.

Very good story. It's so very rare to read/watch/play time travelling story which makes sense and doesn't break it's internal logic. This one did it in a great style. I would really love to see "QB2", as it has potential. Was very entartaining.

Very good game, I had a lot of fun playing it. It probably should not be your first VR game, because I found it more enjoyable playing with smooth movement mode, and this usually requires a bit of VR trainings - so called VR legs.
On the other hand it's the best VR experience I had from among many other titles :)

I'm long time fan of Civilization series and I have very mixed feeling about this one - unfortunately on "No" side more then on "Yes".
On a good side:
First of all, I had a lot of fun playing it for first 3 or 4 times. Everything was fresh new, I had to learn a lot and this side of the game is as always very nice for me. Unfortunately once I got those games behind me I find it hard to come back for more.
I love the quests implemented in this game - they really add a lot of depth - you can make different choices each time you play and your civilization will be affected by them - you can shape it to be a bit different.

There are a lot of problems with make this game either boring or annoying to play:
- military - auto-upgrading military units sounded like fun at start but then once you start war it's really really annoying. Your enemy's units can at any moment upgrade to a much better unit on the field. There are not that many units overall, which probably could be fine if they were not being upgraded automatically - but with automatic upgrades it feels like you have very limited toolbox to use for war. Also upgrades are way too big between levels, they should be more gradual. You need to get few points of affinity to upgrade a unit again and then it's like major change. So in order to win a war you basically focus just on technologies that raise your affinity for affinity's sake, not for anything that this technology brings to your civilization.
- economy - trade is especially annoying, in late game when you have 2 or 3 trade units per city, you constantly have to pick another trade target for them, every single turn. On the other hand trade is very powerful and without it your civilization will be in a disadvantage so you can't just ignore it.
- I also hate how this game no longer rewards me for playing. End game? Just one picture, no way to check my progress against other civilization, some pathetic text "you win" and that's all. When you get a new technology, it's described very poorly and quote that is read to you is usually poor, a bit stupid or non-sense entirely.

If you want to play this game you should probably wait a bit till it gets cheaper on gets some DLC/expansion to fix those issues. Right now I can't really recommend to buy this game at full cost. Myself I'll go back to Civ V.
