Example reviewDeveloper distrust
Not recommended593 hours playedEnglishPros: -genuinely very unique and one of a kind. Cons: - Shady Membership Service - DLC are genuinely too expensive for what they offer and base game is heavily limited without them. - Toxic and Racist Company - Over the years, the game went through constant and frequent enshittification, intentionally done, just to force players into buying DLCs.
2Not worth the price

DLC slop funded by cash dollars of players who have leaped over the gigantic entry barrier of this otherwise deep strategy game. Players who are subjected to DLCs which do not in any way warrant the price of 1/3 of the base game. If you are interested with partaking in the new trend that condones paying monthly subscriptions for your car’s butt heating functionality. I am sure you will enjoy this game. Otherwise there is a pretty good but 2nd job level of commitment game here I guess.
