Still needs to expand and improve. But a good addition to the Civilization franchise.

Lived up to the anticipation, had it on my wish list since it was announced. If you liked the first, you'll like the second. Its a bit frantic, but I appreciate the urgency, since I know IRL how quick the situations can turn when living in extreme cold enviroments. Game promotes a world that's still warmer then where I work, lol.

Good small team missions, plenty of ways to play, and the memes are great

Game is a nice melding of two different genres. I do recommend the game, but would not recommend paying the full price for the game, as it lacks significant depth, I'm only 29 hours in, and have 100% and unlocked each of the special buildings on all the maps.

Its a great start, but needs more

Nothing quite like killing Orcs for a quiet afternoon

The first one is the superior game, no contest. This will have some work to do, but the new additions are fun, and I'm sure the bug and balance tweaks will come. Only major complaint is the lack of a campaign with the breadth of the first one. The campaign here is an extended tutorial, and the real meat of the game is chaos theory and challenges, whereas the first game had a much more substantial campaign, and the bonus was the challenge mode.

Best to wait until the DLC comes out or snag it on sale.

Banished but with Beavers... Great Game, can't wait to see it improve and continue expanding

Continuation of a great series of strategy-simulation transport games.

Would definitely recommend if you liked Sid Meier's Railroads! (though not as cartoony)

Its a great wacky hospital management sim. Some decent challenges, and some great humor in the voice acting on the radio.

Remember, if you want to complete the Superbug projects, to join the Steam Group to find other players.

So I like the concept, and the game has potential. And I will probably still be playing this game a bit more.

The UI is mediocre, but the biggest disappointment in this game is the atrocious online only features. The game lags like crazy and is overall lethargic when dealing with the Franchise Mode.

Also for being a game that the campaign teaches you to be a steward to wildlife, Franchise mode just denegrates that message into becoming the equivalent of a puppy mill in order to access much of the wildlife.
