The Political Process

I really wanted to like this game, and you can like it for a good while. But eventually it just becomes so clear how wide and shallow it is. The game has like 500 menus on statistics, elections, politicians, cabinets, houses, etc. and you essentially look at 4 for the entire game. Policy is not nuanced whatsoever. In a good simulation, you may be able to negotiate or bribe or compromise with your opponents. In this game, if a bill gets rejected, it will be rejected every single time in that political landscape because everyone votes on a binary axis instead of adapting and moving like real politics. Also, you essentially need a majority to pass anything. Even if the opposite party has 1 extra politician, you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Since you can't negotiate, there is essentially no overlap between parties unless their positions were randomly generated to include one specific position from the opposite party. Overall, it's a great idea and you can get a good amount of fun out of this if you're a nerd, but when you dig a little deeper its pretty shallow and you often hit walls where the fantasy breaks and you cannot accomplish any of your goals no matter what you do.

it is good, no further concerns.

One of the best political games that can be offered on Steam

Absolute hidden gem. Insane amount of detail and is the prime example of a dev with a deep interest in a subject making a game out of it. It's not for everyone but I think that's the best part of it. If you are interested in American politics or just want to play this to learn a bit about it - get this game.

Really good game, the updates take a very long time but when they release it is very game changing, so good job to the dev as he is going solo ;)
