Very middle of the road (if the 5 didn't suggest that) game. It feels like a tech demo. It has some solid foundations but everything feels lacking. There are very few enemy types so once you learn the pattern to fight them, everything is easy. The game is VERY linear, which can be fine but any exploration isn't rewarding. You typically get a box of random items, which can roll poorly and net you a tiny amount of credits.

Wonderful 4X game. It's a great combination of Civ gameplay and Crusader Kings. Succession lines matter, all of your family and courtiers have personalities and can go down different paths. There's a ton of mechanics in this game, but they aren't overwhelming like some others in the genre. Highly recommended for any 4X gamer.

Straight trash. Open the EA App. Launch game. Nope! It launches a browser window to their "Battlelog". Click Start Campaign. Initializing... After 10 minutes of trying this process over and over and it getting stuck on Initializing, I close everything down and do it again. Error! Check your game installation! I uninstalled without issue.

Garbage Simulator 19 is great if you love garbage! Oh, sorry they named it Madden 19 - easy to mistake when the game is complete garbage. Literally no changes from year to year, EA just rakes in the money without investing ANY time or effort into the game. Warping defenses, horrible AI, and just crap mechanics make it actually anti-fun to play this at all. You will leave frustrated.
