Do you like hands-on puzzles? Then this might be a game for you.
Do you like pondering philosophical questions? Then this might be a game for you.
Do you like vague but captivating storytelling, that challenges you to piece together the parts into a coherent story, while allowing you to fill in some of the blanks yourself? Then this might be a game for you.

Watch out for bittersweet endings though.

World of Tanks Blitz was originally a simplified version of the PC game World of Tanks, for the mobile market. As such, it had simplified controls, simplified models, simplified textures, simplified UI and simplified everything else. This was fine, and in time the game has gotten a small community of it's own. But porting the mobile, severely dumbed down version back to PC, has not made it a true alternative to the original.

I'll make it simple for you.
If you play Blitz on mobile devices a lot, and only occasionally want to play a game on the PC, do go ahead and try this. It will let you play the same game, so you keep your progression and everything else between your mobile devices and the PC.
If on the other hand you don't play mobile games much if at all, and just want a game to play exclusively on the PC, please forget about this. Then you should go download the full, original World of Tanks for PC from their webpage. It's just as free, much better, more content, bigger community and more fun.

Oh, and if anyone thinks they can use this game to sit on a PC with keyboard and mouse, and stomp on players running it from mobile devices. Sorry, but there are separate matchmaking queues. Even Wargaming was not going to allow that kind of rampant sealclubbing.

Simple idea that works surprisingly well. Good fun, but requires patience and maybe a bit of interest in big trucks. Game has mod support, and multiplayer. The latter is really the best way to play the game, with friends.

Why am I not recommending the game then? Lack of save functionality or dedicated servers in multiplayer, which means every multiplayer session starts from scratch. It also means that a brief connection drop or client crash can ruin hours of fun, and that you need to set aside large stretches of free time to play together.
Save functionality has been requested, and more or less promised to be delivered, for years. As soon as we get it, I'll update this review. In the meantime, my suggestion is to avoid the game.

For anyone who played and enjoyed the original Deus Ex, this one is a must have. If you didn't play the original, you really ought to get both.

Very good tactics game. A good amount of realism, but also fun and balanced. Nice, smooth UI and graphics. Don't buy it if you are looking for singleplayer though. This is for going online and facing off against the opposition in multiplayer over varied modes of play. Unlock units, set up your force composition and come fight!
