What players think
The recurring themes across 48 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
As of right now, when you boot up the grand campaign you have to play as the emperor.
Sleek interface, excellent performance, lots of possible character interactions and relationships, expansive building trees - on first impression, a lot to recommend it as a grand strategy.
The general gameplay loop and concept of managing an empire in decline against stacking odds is a lot of fun and keeps you on your toes.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
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.
