Performance is beyond atrocious, it is incredibly rare to find any area that provides a stable frame rate when fighting monsters.
Do not buy this game unless you far exceed the "Recommended" system requirements that are provided on the store page.

In terms of gameplay, it's your standard Monster Hunt game, if you enjoyed previous titles, you'll enjoy this one.

A tidy little fishing game with a small eldritch twist.
Fishing/Ship progression is pretty nicely tied to story progression.
I did find that for achievement completion there were some things that were a bit harder to find than others mostly due to it being a percent based chance of 'rolling' a specific rare fish.
Don't expect anything incredibly challenging when it comes to this, the game is definitely something easy to consume in small chunks.

Early Access Review
Unfortunately another abandoned EA game.
Game in itself is playable, and a half decent clicker, but don't go expecting further updates.

I've held off on putting a recommendation on this game while it was still arguably within an 'Open Beta' phase. At the time it was not a released product and treating it as such is not correct.

TL:DR; Do not buy this game yet, it still has a long way to go.

There are a plethora of broken promises and features that were made by developer that have not yet seen the light of day. Weapon count is below the 70+ promised, some weapons shown within game trailers have still yet to make an appearance. Crafting system is still incomplete and has, at release, only the 'upgrade' system accessible. Roughly 1/5 of what is still to come based on greyed out options within the menus.

My biggest grievance currently stands with the fully functioning, easily accessible and predatory micro-transaction store. This looks to have been prioritised over almost anything else in the game, as it is currently, you can only buy these using premium currency which is not earnable through gameplay, which I've noted that many have stated this was possible with Vermintide 2, a previous game of the same developer.
A standout for this is the inability to purchase exactly the amount of currency you need to buy a cosmetic within the store, you will always have to buy more than required which will leave you with a little bit over in your in-game wallet, which has been proven to incentivise you to buy more at a later date. This has become something of a 'New Normal' within gaming and it's a shame that it has been included here. I would also argue against calling these 'micro-transactions' seeing as some of the purchases you can make are upwards of 1/2 the price that you paid just to play the game.

On the positive end of things, I do give credit for the stability fixes and user interface updates that they have made to the game over the course of the past few Betas. I've gone from multiple crashes within short time frames to having a reasonably consistent playing experience over multiple hours. There are hiccups here and there, but the developer has noted these and continues to fix and improve upon them.

Overall, the game is a solid addition to the semi-saturated market of WH40K games. With time and a lot of effort, I believe that this can be a standout addition to anyone's game library.

Runescape idler with its own unique spin.
Has a phone app that allows you to take the game on the road with you and continue from anywhere.

Even though it doesn't currently compare to Civ V, the soundtrack and the aesthetic are just one of those combinations that can turn things around when you are having a terrible day.

With all the DLC, Sid Meier's Civ V is well worth every hour that you plug into it. Time will fly with this, even faster with friends.
