Not recommended Oct 1, 2026
Is a game with a lot of potential, but also a lot of jank and just poorly thought-out systems. It occupies that Master of Magic niche with a strong influence from Civ 5, but lacks a lot of the depth and polish of either. You get bogged down in an almost constant fight against unaffiliated monsters, while your building strategy is survival. There are almost no limits on city settlement either, which means you end up spamming them and drowning in constant micro-management. The careful strategic development of cities becomes near-impossible in the long term. Also I encountered bugs and crashes.
Not recommended Sep 30, 2026
Warlock - Master of the Arcane has some solid ideas, but it feels dated and repetitive. The AI is weak, diplomacy is shallow, and the late game becomes more tedious than strategic. Interesting concept, but difficult to recommend today.
Not recommended Sep 30, 2026
This is literally just a cheap, braindead Civ V rip-off with a generic fantasy coat of paint slapped on top. The AI doesn't have two functional brain cells to rub together. Diplomacy doesn't even exist because every faction just declares war on sight for no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason. And the monster spawners are absolute torture—the game just constantly vomits endless hordes of neutral trash from portals, turning the entire mid-to-late game into an agonizing, repetitive slog of whack-a-mole. Zero tactical depth, zero balance, and an AI that can't even manage its own units. Don't waste your money on this lazy, spammy piece of ♥♥♥♥.

Paradox has lost my respect. After what happened regarding Atatürk, I have no reason to support or recommend their games. I will not buy another Paradox game until they take responsibility for this.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
