AI automation is utterly useless. Constantly making terrible decisions, whether about diplomacy or construction or something else. God forbid you automate your military expect to have 20 fleets sitting on one planet doing nothing while 5 of your planets get taken.

Review 1(2 hours in):

UI is nice. Lots of information but thats the same thing whenever you start a new Paradox game until you understand half of it. Trade and market system is kinda scuffed but overall works nice wth the production system. Immigration OP. Havnt done any war things yet but will update review in a few hours/days of playtime.

Beyond the fact that getting all the DLC is expensive, this game is great.

Wide variety of heists to do, wide variety of weapons, different playstyles.

If you're a completionist its great with all the achievements to get. Also fun to speedrun certain heists.

Community is pretty good and the modding community is pretty good.

If you don't mind tossing another $200+(prob like $75 during sales) on DLC get it.
Though to be fair all DLC heists are still play-able you just can't be the one to start them.

Modded or regular, this game has so much to offer and so many different things to do and ways to do them. Definitely worth the price.

Want to take over the world? Go ahead.
Want to colonize all of Africa? Go ahead.
Want to beat back all the colonizers? Go ahead.
Want to rage quit? Go ahead.

yes

The game is great. The community is better.
If you're looking for a game to play solo all of the time, this game has it.
If you're looking for a game to play with your friends all of the time, this game has even more of that.

The Above is still true.
Also, Wiki has literally all the info. If you're new and stuck just go to Wiki.
Game is complicated to learn but has lots to offer.
Will be back at 2k hours.

Garry's Mod is a very fun game to play with friends or alone.While the normal spawn menu doesn't have much, there are thousands of addons that you can add that extend your experience.I have spent over 150 hrs of this game playing and of them by myself.Imagine how much more time i would spend playing this game with my friends(((If i had any :( )))
So in total i say this is a great game and you should definitely buy it because you will get more hours out of the price then any other game.
