Excellent well made game, but the game faction design is a little bland and few options do not make you forget what faction you are playing, or what race/species.

Good game, but does not have the replayablility at launch, to go for many hundred hours i feel.

Quite an excellent xcom like, with a surprisingly flat power curve, and when you are new in command groups of armed nurgle cultists and psykers have you strain with acceptable strategies to prevail, but by the end chaos space marines are more a resource to you in the master tactic you execute.

A decent casual colony survival sim, and with mods all realities are open.

A good Classic CRPG, it does not hold your hand every step of the way, and the domain level game side aspect mean you dont sleep fight sleep, as that is a waste of ingame time.

I had hoped there would be more dragons, but you can to some extent partially become a dragon.

And the villains from their frame of reference make sense, and your companions can to some extent betray you.

But sadly, your domain needs alot of advisors positions that can be very difficult to fill with an advisor and they are somewhat needed to run your kingdom well.

The Party UI is bad at showing more than 6 characters meaning ranger pets and the like dont get the healing attention they deserve.

Pretty good, much fewer bugs on launch than expected, and your heroes dont become that much demigods by the end.
The UI for hero abilities have been overhauled which is a little jarring to begin with.
The skill trees have likewise been overhauled and have more depth.
The druid skill tree actually have an viable option for feral druids.
The team clearly had time to finish the end of the game, and there are no significant level design quality drop towards the end.

The main character personal mystery did not grab me, felt weird, forced and out of character.
Not enough true dragons( dragons that matter for the plot or have an agenda).
Fewer interesting characters than spellforce 3.

Played through the single player campaign and it was actually a pretty good time, sure the rpg elements were not quiet mass effect 2, and sure the RTS parts were not starcraft 2, but it held up pretty well.

So i am actually looking forward to buying the next campaign, what ever that one is about.

I based this on version 1.40
