This is a real pity. I'm always looking for a good new 4X experience.
Great review though!
Thanks. I was just stunned at the initial release and how poor it was. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a full game release with so many patch notes – I believe there are 6 individual patches already. Promising in that it looks like hte Devs do want the experience to get better, but unfortunate that it released in such a state.
I totally agree. Like SotS2, this is one to check out, but only when it's finished.
It must be hard generating a bug-free 4X game in today's environment. Those games are so complex, and there is so much pressure on small development teams to work fast…
Not that that's an excuse for releasing an incomplete product, but I do feel for the developers.
I feel for them as well, but at UK£35 I also feel for the punters. I had the dubious pleasure of reviewing LoP for another site, and (as Chalgyr said) it was *utterly* horrible on release. It's great that they're patching it, but someone, somewhere ought to have intervened to push back the release date 🙁
Glad to know your thoughts appear to have been in-line with mine. Honestly, it was just unfortunate. I had lots of hope when I read up on this game, but the reality was they rushed it out the door too quickly.
