The game was fun at first, then the balance updates kinda made things grindy, but still okay for casual fun with friends. Then they decided that despite it being a steam game, on steam, the optional PSN feature would become mandatory so Sony can pump its numbers up.

Domination mode and the new focus on multiplayer is god awful. The game itself is okay, but those two elements and how they're implemented make it feel more like a RTS instead of a grand strategy game. Domination mode is basically a Warhammer Fantasy version of Dawn of War

It's a fun little xcom buddy cop game

It is a fun game, but the last update ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up badly.

Game doesn't shut down now due to the new buggy launcher.

New launcher has no scrolling and messes up the mod order horribly.

It's pretty fun and not as bad as everyone is making out.

They overhyped themselves and expected something more than the dev diaries showed, then got upset that it wasn't more than the dev diaries showed.

I hate to say I'm disappointed with the game. Normally I like to have at least one hour per pound of price, so 40 hours at 14ish quid would seem like it's gone well...but it really hasn't.

It's not bog-awful, no. It's just a let down. Judgements are just a minigame of 'which faction can I afford to piss off today?', plotting and intrigue has no real player agency or nature to it. You are merely acting out the lines in the developers play. The choices do not matter, bar changing the flavour of costume that the actors wear. The family minigame has promise, but agency is soon torn away from the player and submerged into a mire of drama.

In short, this is an interactive play pretending to be a game. I came with high hopes and expectations. God knows that the market for revolutionary politics has been growing, with successes of games such as Beholder and its sequeals. But this is not that. It is not even that useful as a learning resource for the French revolution.

It tries to vary the 'action' via throwing new minigames at the player, minigames that come sans tutorial or guide. The devs confuse 'difficulty' with throwing a toddler into the deep end and waiting for it to master swimming. Throw in minigames that are rigged and coded against the player, lest we break from the developer's vision of storyline and progression?

It starts well, and with good promise, then deflates like an old, worn out balloon, dribbling its way onwards. A shame.

Good game, lot of improvements on the first.

Pro:
-Campaign has a lot more depth and strategy to it now
-Amazing atmosphere
-Amazing Music
-Good story
-Fun single player

Cons:
-Some multiplayer balance issues
-No old style skirmish 'campaigns' for singleplayer

Pay to win = crap

If you liked Empire, but disliked a lot of the issues, then this is for you.
Is it perfect? No.
It's rather euroscentic (duh), but is rather fun. Has great mods too.
