Decent follow-up to Human Revolution. However, it crashes way too often. I can't really think of a game that crashes as often, not even a Bethesda game comes close. I feel like it's definitely something that could have been fixed, since it usually happens at the start of a session or if I reload during action parts. The game mechanics seem off to me. Jumping/mantling can be tricky when there's multiple objects near you. Enemies can sometimes see you through walls/doors. Some even ignore doors altogether and walk through them.

So, the map and hacking minigame have different UI than from Human Revolution. The map I eventually got used to, but the hacking UI just seems bad. I often accidentally use a Stop worm because it's placed too close to other buttons. You may have to zoom out to see all of the nodes.

On the plus side, the hub (Prague) is really fun to explore and there's more than a few side quests to tackle. I really miss the old stun gun and tranquilizer rifle look from Human Revolution for what it's worth. The game was much longer than I was led to believe, though I haven't finished it quite yet.

Challenging but fun. Great variety of weapons. Especially enjoyed the music.

I honestly should've moved on from this game after completing it multiple times, but doing things like seeding units and building up endgame things for getting faster and stronger is too addicting.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this game is basically the perfect hybrid of Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest Builders 2. The latter because you basically build stuff for villagers. If you played the game, you know what I mean, having to figure out what you want to do building-wise and then gathering resources and then building the thing, all the while being annoyed that you have to build stuff for lazy villagers. There is no combat in the game, but it seriously reminds me alot of DQB2.

On a more serious note, I find this game really addicting. I thought the tutorial was misleading. It basically gives you a few things to do per day, but not nearly enough things to do. It made the game feel shallow. But there's actually a lot of stuff to do. Befriending villagers and doing their quests, improving your farm, collecting furniture, etc. If you give it a good couple of hours, it really does feel a lot like Animal Crossing.

Of course, the game isn't quite as polished as other similar games, and the graphics may not be for everyone. A lot of building materials requires money, which more than likely will involve strenuous sessions of chopping wood. It doesn't help that alot of stuff is expensive. Still, definitely worth if you can get this game on sale.

The game does not work well with my Macbook's resolution. Off the bat, some of the UI is cut-off because of the window size or resolution. You can only downsize the resolution to a certain point, and you can't resize the window, so you have to edit the json file. And even if you do that, some of the game is too big for the window (such as the Seasons window). I enjoyed the game somewhat on a desktop computer. It was not as good as Idle Crusaders though.

Reviewing this for the Grand Prix.. For Mac users, you may need to downgrade using the Beta feature to near 1.5.1 (drawing numbers from my head so may be off). After that, the crashing stops. It's also recommended to download plugins as seen fit for your game.
