The negative reviews at launch are totally overblown. Firaxis is really onto something here. The gameplay loop is much more engaging, and seems to strike that perfect balance between heavy management, without feeling tedious.

The new building system solves so many issues—in particular, the lack of builders is very refreshing. It also *feels* like you're building, and growing your city now. The new meta with growing, then building, is so much more fluid. The new combat systems—especially when it comes to civ-specific unit upgrades (like Hoplites) feels so much smoother. From what I can tell, resource-locked units are a thing of the past, which I think is a much better change.

The UI isn't perfect... and there are some pretty glaring issues. But as a UX designer, it's totally salvageable. Within months. And a flood of new users running through it is the best possible environment to make those changes.

I'm a huge huge fan of this game, and am really excited to see where Firaxis takes it in the next year.

By far the best dev team in recent memory

This is one of those games that are scary-addicting. Like, "I just lost track of 6 hours" type addicting. The gameplay loop is really solid, it feels so damn good to get a perfect piece in. Would not recommend if you have a day job

was okay i guess
might play it again

the combat in this game is very clean and tight, platforming feels great and overall i can't seem to put this game down!

I don't have words to say to try and convince anyone to buy this game. I just feel compelled to share how deeply this game affected me, in only 1 hour.

it's really really good, once you get a vault and some pets built up. requires some initial real life transactions for new characters and chests tho

Aim Lab is great because of the academic approach it takes to actually improving your aim. You can practice different variants of each exercise, to focus on precision/speed/flicking/etc., and build practice routines ("playlists") to keep consistent.

Just the story mode it self is really good

0/10 too easy
