What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The graphics, map, music, gameplay are probably the best in the gaming industry of our time.
Fast timescale helps but pop growth even under that timescale still takes ages to increase, optimized research is still taking around 16-22 turns on average for reasons I will mention in a moment, moving around the map is taking forever and even ending turns is taking forever due to how hard performance drops at turn 70+.

Theme by theme

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
