I love Democracy, I love Super-Earth

After a very very long wait we finally have Manor Lords in our hands; its been worth the wait and yet there's still so much to come.

I've been following this game since the day it was announced and watching it grow and develop to this point has been painful with all the anticipation and hype. The wait was worth it and what we have right now is an incredible, albeit incomplete, city builder set in medieval Europe.

I strongly recommend this game to fans of city builders and medieval Europe, however if you want to play the "full experience" and are okay with holding off, I would hold off till 1.0 release in the coming years.

I however did not regret my purchase and I'm thrilled to have supported this developer in his continued project to make the best medieval city builder.

Absolutely love this game. It’s not a 100% system accurate train sim but that because it’s an operations sim not a train sim; it’s about running a railroad, managing/puzzling shunting, and slowly expanding the railroad as you continue to run your trains.

10/10

Wonderful to see CA listening to the fanbase; really excited to see the coming changes in the new year and I'm blown away by them lowering the price, issuing refunds for Pharaoh, and committing to improvement. This change from the devs earned my support of this DLC.

Thanks guys <3 Happy Christmas

Leaps and bounds ahead of Cities: Skylines I in terms of game play and choices for the player in the building of their city. The elephant in the room is just how bad the performance is; it's been 'fine' for me but not great. I'm typically getting 30-40 frames with my 3080 and my i7-8700K; an older CPU for sure and a decent graphics card but they're performing okay.

I will applaud the development team for their transparency and commitment to fix the game's performance but I will also criticize Paradox for sending this game out clearly before it was ready. This game should have been delayed till the spring to coincide with the console release.

8/10 gameplay 4/10 for performance.

If you're on the fence, wait till it comes on sale in the coming months.

Is it the best Total War? Not by a long shot. Is it the best looking? Yeah, but its the newest? Has it had my favourite moments? Definitely some of them.

I think this game is a solid 7/10 after having played through it completely now.

It's beautiful, has actually pretty decent music for a modern total war, the campaigns are interesting with enough flavour and dynamism to keep things engaging.

That being said, it is wildly over priced. This is not a "mainline" total war by any stretch of the imagination and it should certainly not be selling for more that Warhammer III did at launch; which even without the addition of Immortal Empires, and the previous content from the earlier entries in the trilogy, Warhammer III has mountains more content for less money.

Overall, if you like Ancient Egypt, you're dying for a new Total War, or you have money with nothing better to spend it on then this won't be a poor purchase.

I do, however, recommend waiting for a sale if you can; it is absolutely not worth the money they are charging, frankly the asking price is a little insulting.

Cyberpunk 2077 is finally making me really enjoy it thoroughly. Is it what we were advertised or promised? Not quite but it's working hard to make up for lost time and wasted potential from the bad launch two years ago.

I only hope that CDPR actually continues to support this and puts out another DLC because Phantom Liberty is amazing.

Excellent value for price; adds a nice dimension to education and adds a new method of dominating opponents by taking hostages after a war!

Its a great game with growing support from the dev and I really recommend grabbing it if you already have any of the other content in the series; its also a great starting point for getting into the Warhammer Fantasy world!

Excellent game! It's my game of the year and potentially my game of the decade.

The best money you'll spend this year!

Update: What can be said that hasn't already been said? It's a phenomenal game and anyone who has even a slight interest in RPGs should own this!
