Pretty good, but the marbles get stuck way too easily. Not sure what you could do to fix it but I have a lot of issues with the funnels in the game. Otherwise a fun lil incremental game, solid in concept, mostly solid in execution!

If nothing else buy this to experience the incredible modding community. Genuinely one of the most flexible play-how-you-want style gaming experiences out there. It succeeds at it's goal of being a story generator to an impressive degree.

It's my favorite game ever, a revolution for the gaming industry with some of the deepest faction play mechanics still to this day. Honestly the high water mark for the series and one I hope someone can properly emulate one of these days!

Just started to scratch the surface on this one and am already sure that this is 10 times better than Royalty, and I really liked Royalty. Let me give you a small story to show what I mean.

I start the game with a monotheistic cult of rural christian types who are deeply misogynistic and don't mind eating people meat. I let my colony grow and consistently ritually scar my new members, anyone not cowtowing to my demands becomes a slave working in the fields or mines. Eventually I get raided by another religious group. This upsets me. This upsets the colonists. This upsets the slaves. Revenge must be taken. I take my uber cybered and psychic leader to the front line, raid their area, enslave 14 people, ritually sacrifice 5 of them, and then the rest convert or are EVEN MORE SLAVES. I have so many skulls in my slave pen it isn't even funny. Oh, also we throw mad raves.

And this is one HYPER SPECIFIC avenue that you can go down. Technocratic ascentionists? Check. Raider druids? Check. Literally just Buddhism but with more smokeleaf? CHECK. This DLC is well worth the money and I can't wait to see what mods do with the framework it lays!

I've had more hours playing poker with fictional characters than my real friends. 10/10

For me, this game is a perfect blend of strategy, resource management, and RPG elements all rationed out well with procedural generation. I'm very excited to see how this game will progress!

When Pope Benedict asked Giotto for a drawing to prove his worth as an artist, Giotto drew a perfect circle - freehand ... perfection is a powerful message. Simple, but perfect.

Awwwwwwwwww yeah, Tex Murphy is back in his classic glory of awkwardly delivering lines directly to the camera! Tacky in a knowing, charming way and honestly a good buy if you're looking to sink your teeth into a classic style point and click adventure with corny FMV elements!

Good atmosphere, had me on the edge of my seat. Bad writing, had me laughing at the notes the entire time. The notes seem like someone trying to sound smarter than they are by using words like "Thus" and don't feel organic. It feels like a tryhard wrote them. If that's what the creator was going for, good for him, he made a blowhard of a main character. All in all still a good experience. 7/10
