it's aight. Be stupid and fun in the voice chat and useful to your team, and I guarantee it'll be entertaining. Some of my best times are from doing some squad leading on a server consistently and seeing the same people, or when an attack goes just right and it looks awesome.

(also don't be SL if you're new PLEASE)

You shouldn't have to link any outside accounts to play a game.

Edit: Sony changed their decision. Good on them. Game is very good also.

Cassandra giveth and Cassandra taketh away...

Fr though, this game rocks. Never have I been so interested in logistics and just survival. It's crack, I love it. I would choose this game as my only one if I was forced to. There's such a variety of play styles. Do you want to be a band of guerrilla fighters hiding in the mountains from the Man? You can. Do you want to run a holy order and crush those around you? Yep, you can. Do you want to be peaceful nudists and make friends? Of course. A lone man with machines to attend to your every need? Maybe commit atrocities to fill your food stores, or just please your people? Maybe just run a nice society and happy farmers? It gets so much zanier than I can do justice. If you're remotely into colony sims, this is up there as one of the greatest in my eyes and I would highly recommend.

Meh, it's fun sometimes but I never feel like anything I did was challenging or worthwhile. It takes a while to know what all the mechanics do, but it's all just an clever abstraction to make you feel like you're leading this empire, but really it's just map painting with some extra steps. The game could probably eliminate several mechanics and you'd be doing the same exact thing but with less clicking. Also, once you know what you're doing, there's very little chance you will struggle, except for maybe the first 10-30 years. After that, there's hardly any doubt that you'll win, it's only about how fast you want to win.

Not really my thing, but if you're into map painters, then you'll probably like it.

This is my go to game if I am stuck somewhere with a craptop. Occasionally, I'll even play it on my main PC because community made maps are pretty fun and the gameplay isn't that outdated compared to CSGO.

This game is simply amazing compared to other total war games.

10/10
