This is how I learn that I'm kinda an idiot

Prices are as paradox taught us to expect, so don't look at buying at full price.
However, in most every way an improvement over the predecessor. Much more customization of your people and spells, the affinity system is a nice addition, and siege battles are much less of a slog, albeit at the cost of making you wait to breach the walls before attacking. Overall big thumbs up for the game, but thumbs down for the pricing

Positive review is in the queue, position 1637

Buggy? Yes. A little barebones endgame? Yes, there will clearly need to be some free content updates alongside paid dlc. But it'd be disingenuous to leave a negative review with how much fun I'm having still, and how glued to this game I've become. Far from perfect, but what's there is already good - only hope they will keep giving more

I could not recommend this game enough.

I find it, well, hard to experience, personally. On an emotional level. But that only speaks to the quality of writing. It's nothing short of phenomenal.
