4.5hrs playtime:
Not bad. The UI looks and feels kinda janky at times though, and sometimes the combat can feel cheaty.

Edit@65hrs playtime:
Gives off Red Orchestra 2 vibes. Great pacing between spawning and getting into the action. Vehicles feel similar to War Thunder with the same kinds of ballistics, armor penetration, destruction, mechanics, etc.
Time to kill feels good and quick. I ended up paying $10 for a premium account for a month, and $10 for the elite battle pass and they seem worth it. It doesn't feel pay-to-win at all, besides being able to bring a second vehicle squad into a battle and 2 additional infantry squads (you get to bring more variety of troops into battle), which is the only real advantage premium accounts get in terms of gameplay. The rest of the premium and elite battlepass perks are focused on the research tree, which you can unlock a majority of with enough time for free. Getting the premium account basically doubles your experience per match and gives you more battle tasks to unlock to progress faster in the battle pass.

You can play this game entirely for free and not really miss out on much. The premium squads still seem overpriced around $35+ each, and premium weapons average around $7.50+, which don't seem worth it at all IMO, as the weapons already have a quick time-to-kill anyways, and you eventually end up unlocking similar variants to the paid ones for free. The only thing I'd really recommend paying for is the $10/mo premium (or longer durations if you can see yourself committed to the game as such), and that's only if you feel like research takes too long. The Elite Battlepass can be worthwhile to some, and I'll try to report back in a future edit to review if it felt so to me.

Planes are so far my favorite part of the game. They're extremely powerful when in the right hands, serving as a great counter to armored vehicles, and bombing runs against groups of infantry. A good pilot can turn the tide of the battle in their team's favor. In fact, just a few people that mentally up their game and plays the objective can likely get their team a victory.

It's a fun game to pass the time with and I'd recommend joining a discord server for an Enlisted community where people are looking for groups. Teaming up with like-minded/objective-oriented people can significantly increase your chances of victory and scoring more points (which equals more silver coins and experience).

Enlisted is a great game with just a few minor issues like getting matched with an overwhelmingly good enemy team (or an abhorrently bad ally team); and braindead AI team members (though to be fair, they make for fun cannon fodder for either side -- better to think of them as extra lives and hide them somewhere safe to swap out after you die).

Edit@131hrs playtime:
Yeah this is a great game. The premium purchase prices (like premium squads, squad slots, etc can be kind of pricey, but if you take into account the time you'll likely spend in this game grinding and playing matches, it's not that bad. The only P2W aspect I can really see is the ability to buy more squad slots since it allows you (and your team) to have a greater quantity and variety of different squad types to bring into battle; but it's hard to notice this happening on the other end, as you only see one squad per player as usual. I think that MAYBE you might see vehicles appear more frequently than usual since people with premium AND extra purchased squad slots could bring multiple vehicle squads to battle and respawn with another tank or plane soon after losing their last one. Not a big deal though IMO -- supporters of the game should get some sort of incentive at least, and the game is still very much skill-based. I've purchased the premium account subscription for a month (ending soon), the elite battle pass, and 2 extra squad slots, and they seem worth it for the price _to me_ at least. I've put a lot of time into this game in such a short period of time compared to other games, and it fills the void that Red Orchestra 2 left for me. Would recommend. Also there are modded servers with tons of content all for free.

Runs at no FPS and feels so bad to control.

Coming from OpenTTD, this feels like a worthy spiritual successor. Very familiar gameplay with modern graphics.

This is what all AAA games should strive to be.

Can't believe I haven't given this a review yet. Songs of Syx is a hidden gem. One of those most comprehensive low-fantasy city builders ever made with a grand scope. It covers pretty much everything you can think of from simulating individual citizens, building up your city, providing services for your citizens, politics, racism (some races hate each other and don't want to live around each other), racial preferences when it comes to architecture, immigration, economics and trade, procedurally generated worlds, AI factions that also play out in the world around you, war where you have to build up your military from your citizens and provide logistics to keep your army supplied, protests and riots (citizens will stop working, or will physically riot and fight each other and you may need to bring out your army to counter it), conquest where you can take over the world, and combat akin to Total War.

Don't let the graphics fool you, they do have a nice charm to it that I enjoy but others may not, but that really is subjectively the only downside to the game that may put people off on what objectively is the best game ever made for this genre.

I wouldn't recommend Manor Lords as of current (2024-04-27).

It feels like very little has been developed since the demo that first debuted during Steam Nextfest a few years ago. It has a good foundation, great presentation, but currently has too many issues, both with underdeveloped gameplay and minor bugs. I would recommend checking back in a few months or a year to see if any significant progress has been made.

It has a lot of potential however, and I hope it gets fulfilled.

A wholesome game where you can play with friends and family and compete or co-operate in building your dream transportation empire. Charming early 2000s aesthetics, plenty of mods with a built-in mod manager. Would recommend reading a quick-start guide on how to build a bus stop -- once you learn how to do that, you can build pretty much all other types of transportation services the same way.

MY LIFE FOR SUPER EARTH

It's good, but get it on sale. It does get repetitive about 8 hours in.
