I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…2 found this helpful

Played this game several times. It's awesome and realistic. The sound track is addictive.
Oh yes. Oh yes. This game is very intuitive (for me, that is) and great fun for strategists, as even if the odds are heavily stacked against you, you can win. Say, play Netherlands and conquer German cities kind of bad odds, but you STILL SOMEHOW have a chance to win. That's what I like about this game: The simplicity. Yet it has a depth. Any person who needs some chill on a Friday night and likes a good war game that isn't as complicated as HOI4 (although that game is still extremely fun and I have about 550 hrs in HOI4) - War, The Game is an incredible alternative. I love it. Although there are some downsides - let me list the most annoying ones (maybe that'll be different in your game, but it's what I experience that I wish did[n't] exist): 1. The start of the game. It might be for you - and that also happened to me, but I fixed it with quite some messing around (although I can't remember how anymore) - crashing every time in the intro screen or just not opening at all. This would probably be the second of the two main reasons why you wouldn't buy this game (the first one being you just generally don't like war games). 2. The unit selection system takes a bit of getting…
Abso-lutely.
