Sony and Arrowhead have a tremendous amount of work that remains ahead to earn trust with the consumers. From Kernel access anti-cheat, the numerous glitches, and the lack of mutual accountability from both the developer and caving to the demands of their publisher, I cannot in good faith recommend this game to anyone.

Dope return to form. So glad to see this remastered.

Maybe I expected too much like "Long Live the Queen", Citystate, or a more politically hands-on experience akin to Hearts of Iron where I can mod or engage with the politics with purges, elections, and guide results (even if they are strictly comical or intentionally poor).

I have maybe once with a guide's help gotten a story I somewhat liked, but otherwise there is a lot I sadly dislike.

In terms of design, alt-tabbing pauses the loading screen entirely which is kind of hilarious. There's no way to adjust the speed as there is in other visual novels to make the text go on by faster. It's really frustrating when you want to re-play the story but speed on to the choices you want to change. It feels as if it's forcing you to take forever through a story just to increase your blasted playtime rather than enjoying running a country.

I put in a lot of hours, but it just doesn't seem worth the effort with the slow pacing, long load times, astonishing number of related or unrelated connections to your choices that blow up a run. Worth maybe one playthrough at most, but that is it.

Positive Aspects:
Some of the streamlining for units I initially opposed, but using Front-lines for Field Marshals and Generals does help reduce the stress of managing large offensives or defenses in the midst of gameplay. While getting Air Force Generals was removed entirely, the new way to use airplanes implemented since Hearts of Iron II and III do help a great deal in making air a key part of combat.

The change to some of the political aspects using political power, rather than just changing your government once every two years is a welcome change. Some events that use political power are fairly good in adding onto the background experience outside of just World War 2 combat.

Negative Aspects:
Similar to most Paradox games, almost every single quality of life change comes in incremental patches which are largely pay-walled in DLC. While deep discounts are sometimes offered, the difference between all DLC and no-DLC experience are quite substantial.

The game definitely doesn't have the same depth as Darkest Hour, or Hearts of Iron II given that many portraits, leaders, generals, and so on are simply missing entirely. Modding them in would also deny achievements in a majority of cases.

The mostly positive aspects of this game and why despite the tremendously negative issues tied with pay-walling patches, or the lack of in depth polish in comparison to the previous games largely comes from the mods that can convert this game into entirely different experiences. If not for that, there's not a big reason to play this RTS over its previous installments or modded RTS games like Starcraft 2.

For the only kind of competition of any kind to Battlefield 1, and the project work they continue to do to date; this is an outstanding product. By no means flawless, the dev team has done an excellent job continuing to adapt and improve the game for the years they kept it around; and I hope anyone would give this game a try.

The DLC are generally needed in some regards to play this game, but with some of the dedicated servers and mods; I still find Arma 3 a solid experience as a shooter.

In my analysis of the game I wish to cover content and pricing as something has dawned on me with the most recent DLC containing key features that otherwise some other players may never choose or end up with; Uoptia, and some of the megastructures.

First point, the game does play well and the randomly generated Tech Tree, so to speak, does give each run or species a unique feel as it has to focus or develop a different history of its own as it carves its way in the galaxy. I feel the unique experience of loosely randomized nations with their own traits helps a great deal in playing through scenarios with or without modifications. Having purchased the DLC, without realizing what the game would lack or the pricing issues there after, I do greatly enjoy the Megastrucutres, especially ring worlds, but I wish they were available to all players.

Next, while I enjoy elements of the tech tree and megastructures, I cannot recommend this for some gameplay mechanics. Research scaling, and combat depending on your FTL method take far too long to develop and coordinate. The game once you mid or late game grinds to a screeching halt in terms of technology research or starship development, and with various bonuses, everything feelsl ike it takes forever.

Contributing to the sluggishness of late or mid-game is that the resources you may mine or collect for planets, vassals, or wars do not scale remotely as fast as the costs.

While Stellaris does provide a great and easy access sci-fi experience in some respects, I cannot recommend it, both for the current issues with pricing Paradox has forced upon us, and that the game scales resources incredibly poorly towards the strongest part of your empire's history in many cases. The difficulty curve is comfortable enough but it's a pain to slog through late game to try to defeat Leviathans or Fallen Empires now.

This game stands as a great element of work of how to properly build and establish atmosphere between player and NPC. The elements to primarily consider are as follows:

Cons:
Arguably, this may come across somewhat as linear and a few puzzles a bit too easy here and there throughout the game.

Sometimes the bullet dodging for some fights may be a bit difficult. If as a player you don't enjoy a screen cluttered with bullets to dodge, then some sequences may be bothersome.

For people who may push for greater graphics, this simplistic approach may be unappealing to some users being a strictly 2D based game.

Pros:
The story as noted before with its element and retention of choice stands as a great testament for how to build a "true" karma system. This retention lends to some elements of somber dread or at times great humor.

The atmosphere establishment with the soundtrack and various smaller changes to dialogue and actions as woven in stand as a great element of dynamic story-telling.

The great balance of humor and eeriness as elements from the fights down to the very journey. The methods used to convey a rather simple story with all these layers grasp the player deeply into this universe and pull one along for the struggle and joy of Undertale.

Wrap-up:
This is arguably stands as one of the greatest games in the past 10 years. I hope Toby Fox may work on future projects with such passion and attention to detail.

This little retro game is definately worth adding to any video game collection. A solid funny all around game. Definately bears great asthetics and fluid gameplay.
