So this is a good game. The "not recommended" is for people like myself who are considering the game without ever playing a civ game before (or similar games), if you like this type of game I do think you'd like this a lot though. It is worth a try, but I will say my 7 hours is just from the tutorial and half a game since I wanted to play one through, and the game feels slightly addicting, but also tedious enough that I don't want to keep going.

So I don't recommend it unless you think you would enjoy that. If you're pretty on the fence I don't think it's worth even this massive sale - unless you have some pretty disposable money. If you want to try some new games or like the managing, building, waiting etc. type games you'd love it and should definitely act on the sale.

Like if Settler's of Catan is your favourite game and you'd enjoy playing it even by yourself (but with more rules) then this is the best game ever. If you only like Settler's of Cattan because of the people you're playing with (me), or don't like it at all then I definitely don't recommend it.
Still gonna gain a few hours because I still want to finish at least one game, don't know if I'll ever play again though - maybe I'll change my mind, so far I've just wanted to go all out war cuz it's so tedious, but can't because it takes too long to train enough troops to win a fight that won't a million turns and takes even longer if I don't focus on other aspects of growth
