Absolute cinema - Worth the wait and can't wait for the next one.

For me this is the first game to make football fun to play. If you wan't to play a football manager game with a bit more feedback and more interactivity, this is the one for you.

So much to research and unlock and you can customize and build your school in a staggering amount of ways. You can probably spend a lot of hours in this game. I know I will.

If you go into this with the intent to play this like your usual bethesda games by just ignoring the main quest, going into one direction and finding quests and interesting places - Skip this one. Most of the planet systems have at most only half of the plants with special marked places and they also repeat. Its also difficult to distinguish hand-crafted places on planet from randomly-generated ones (except obviously quest-hubs like the few big cities) because its very rare that a quest or something special can be found there.

After exploring a few systems I've got the feeling that I have seen most of the game has to offer, which may not be true but due to the structure of the exploration it at least feels like it.

weak

I liked it

Great challenging campaign with greater differentiation between factions through campaign features. Also the family tree is back and is incorporated in the politics system, so you can e.g. let one of your daughters marry the leader of another party to secure their loyality. Much more invested and in depth than other family trees, leading to fun balancing between inner politics and campaign battles. Also nice map.

May not have a great story or may not be very difficult but is still a lot of fun and looks beautiful. Short Story also means this game has no lengths and doesn't really get boring.

Nice

Crash after Crash after Crash on AMD. You have to be lucky to play one Hour without interruptions. Game is good, but better wait until it plays consistent.
