Fantastic!

The game has some bugs that make it unenjoyable to play. Like making it impossible to give your leader (not disloyal characters) more troops. Forcing you to give the army to another character, that stabs you in your back. I also find it strange that characters can make armies that you have to pay for. What nonsens is that?

The difficulty is in general to low and it has way to little content. Scammed out of my money. Will never pre-order a game from paradox again. Since they have started selling games and locking content behind many houndreds of dlcs. That is just immoral.

Many years ago this were a great game. You could ignore the the dlcs coming out every year, but after a while it started interfering with the function of the main game. Now you can play for hours and suddenly notice that your colonies don't convert the conquered populations. This make the whole game a nightmare to play, since your colonies gets revolts every year. And you can't force your colonies to convert. Either you beat the revolutionaries, or accept to lose parts of your colony. However you can buy a dlc to be allowed to convert the populations yourself.

This isn't the only case, and these make the main game enjoyable to play. They have made so many dlcs that they in reality have ruined the vanilla game. The love for money this company shows, will ruin them in the long run. No soul can use 400 dollar on a single game.

The game was very athmosperic, and fun to play. I'm not a big fan of pussle games, but this one I liked. It were challanging at times, but had no part an average person would be stuck on forever. You also feel good when you are "smart" enough to figure out what to do, while also being albe to entertain on other levels than just pussle solving.

I found myself wonder what kind of world I was in. The name limbo would indicate that the boy is dead, and lives in the place morally good non-Christians go after death acording to some theologians. Although noone suffers in limbo. I wondered who the people who attack you are, and who built the structures you see, and also who the last person you see is. For a pussle game, you get drawn into it, like more sotry driver games does.

I would recomend people to buy it, if the price is right. Around 10 dollars/ 70 kroners would be the right price, but higher ... I don't think it give you enough for the money. It's not a long game, first walkthrough took me 2+ hours, you can perhaps sqeeze 5-7 hours of entertaining out of it totally.

The best city building game I have ever played, and I've played many. You can make zones which is either homes, comercial, industry or offices. The buildings that pop up have great diversity. You need to make public buildings, like police stations, hospitales, schools etc. These usually have two efficensy levels, where for example the big hospital cover a larger area. The citizens will get richer and happier if you give them these services, and the land will get more expencive if you make parks. You can make highways or regular roads. You need to plan out from the begining how to organize them, if you don't want to go broke fixing them. And in this game you actually earn mony from public transportation (but not any other public service for some reason). There are also many different buildings that can help you attract turists, and enhance your town. The wonders usually have really helpfull effects (but perhaps very unrealistic).

One complaint I have, is that it is really easy. I never had any problem getting 1 mill "currency". That would be something like 10 billion in real dollars, and I can make whatever I want. I usually keep the tax rate at 3%, and can have it on over 10% without people leaving. Perhaps I have the difficulty on low, I don't know, have never seen any difficulty bar. Also, if you find a nice way to organize your road system, a great tactic is to just copy and paist it with a highway close to it. I have never gotten over 200 000 people, and I've heard you can have up to a million people. So, that will be my next challenge.
