Simply amazing. No spoilers:

The atmosphere games like these can create as you play through a post-apocalyptic Earth is simply stunning. Though I prefer the atmosphere of the first game, mostly because in that game you get to take in a lot more scenery, as opposed to just sailing in the ocean trying to constantly min-max how much air your sails get.

The gameplay mechanics are quite similar to that of the first game, since this is a sequel. The only thing I would criticise in terms of the mechanics is, that sometimes figuring out what you need to do can take quite some time, and repeated attempts, although considering this game takes double or triple the time it took me to finish the first game (~2h), so around 4-6 hours in total, it makes sense that it's more challenging in that regard.

Overall, very worth it. I would absolutely recommend this game, though PLAY THE FIRST GAME ( Far: Lone Sails ) BEFORE PLAYING THIS . Otherwise, you won't get the ending.

Dope ass game, with at least 20 hours of potential game time for the two factions combined. Don't bother with the tutorials, it's more fun that way

The only thing this game lacks is more content. And for what it's worth, the game takes heavy inspiration from the modern republic of turkey, from it's founding to mid 1960s, (e.g experiencing the same problems turkey did etc)
That's not to say thats a bad thing though, i just couldn't help but notice the subtle (or not, considering the dev team is 75% german-turkish) hints.

Also, the game never gets any meaningful updates, only slight bug fixes and balance patches. I bought and played this game on the last week of 2020, and no content has been added in the 7 months since then. I would love to come back to this game to give any new content a spin, but it seems to be a done-deal

Runs smooth, nice graphics, though a bit hard transition between CK2 and 3 as a result. Mechanics don't seem to have been changed too much, though the levy system and boats are remarkably different. In my honest opinion, the graphics are what makes the game hard to get used to, because there is so much clutter and the user interface is that much more different than CK2

Really nice game

F the launcher. Love everything else

Seriously, man. As a developer you should know that people like content, or at least the basic ability to tweak their starting conditions, besides some irrelevant facial settings.

I really tried to love this game, i really did. I've played for like 6-7 hours on a pirated copy, then decided to support the game. But the hard coded limits, or the severe lack of pretty much anything, in the game take away all the potential fun. I'm talking about stuff like being able to start with more than 100$K, or the appaling slow pace at which you grow.

Another aspect that disgusts me is the ♥♥♥♥ AI. "x with 3% shares wants to reduce workers from 25 to 16, to prevent overproduction." B*tch what's overproduction? You are an oil company with limitless potential, but noooo let's cut a quarter of the friggin workers to ensure that the player a)never grows b)runs a deficit. This can get pretty out of hand, when you pursue an aggresive growth policy in which you spend every last dime, cause then you'd just lose money when, say your top dividend producing company decides to a) cut workers and reduce profit (WHYYYY) or b) reduce dividend rate from 90% to 50%.

Sigh, this game needs a LOT of HEAVY tweaking. a LOT.
But I'll recommend it cause it's only early access and cheap. A jewel in the making, so to say.

Unless you are going to wait/buy the DLCs, and drop another 100$ for them, don't buy this game.
Currently it is somewhat like EU4 but with a few CK2 Mechanics on the side like families and bribery, assasination, etc.
I bought this game knowing i'd have to wait for Paradox to get their act together, like HOI4, as this game will be patched and added downloadable content until it is on the level of EU4.

10/10
