Legendary!
One of the best strategy games of the 90s gaming golden age. Spent many hours playing as a child and now playing with my son 30 years later, sublime.

Still great 20 years on!
Absolutely fantastic game. I used to play it when I was 15 and loved it then. Recently downloaded it again now that I'm 33 and still it plays brilliantly and is endlessly addictive. Love controlling the resources to make a flourishing economy. Game is well paced and could watch those little guys going about their jobs for ever. Good strategies and more importantly an efficient settlement can be used to defeat enemies. Most important is that the emphasis is more on resource management than conquering your foes, which I much prefer. Love it!

I REALLY wanted to love this game.
The first 15-20 hours are awesome! Especially since some new games cost $60 and don't even last that long, I got my money's worth with Settlers 2: Gold :) My issue is that I wanted to play this game forever and that is simply not to be. Mainly, the further you get into the game and the larger your settlement becomes, the more time you spend putting out fires and getting into some REALLY tedious structure building (and by building, I mean long queues). The battle system is terrible, but battle is not the main draw of Settlers 2. In this game, resources are finite and they WILL run out if you take too long. So you cannot really sit back and enjoy the ride (which is what Settlers 2 is supposed to be about) because you have to expand as fast as possible and eliminate your enemy because once your mines expire, that's that. You can send a geologist and look for new mining spots but it is hit or miss if the geologist will find what you need. Not to mention the fact that this is NOT Simcity. There is not always an alert if your settlement has a problem. If there is a hidden problem and you actually pick up on it, good luck trying to find the cause of it...unless you really like to dig into unclear reports in small print. Of course, part of the fun of Settlers 2 is seeing a problem and figuring it out for yourself, rather than having the game hand the solution to you. You know, using your brain :) The problem is that these very cool puzzles do not scale. When your settlement becomes large, it is too many puzzles at once and most of them are quite similar. Yes, you can pause the game whenever you like but Settlers 2 is slow enough! The slowness is very zen and satisfying...in the beginning. But then you are trying to figure out why 1/3 of your structures are not producing their product and you realize that you will have to build MORE of the same structures that you already have built. And now you will have to sit around and wait and wait and wait for the structure be built... Sigh. This game just becomes too much of a good thing.

Still a great game
I first came in contact with the game via a demo, it took a while before I understood the game completely. I was so enthousiast about the graphics, the gameplay, the friendly looking land and people and the economic aspects, that I bought the game. That was in 1996. Still today I get the CD and play it until the sleep overwhelmed me. The music provided on the cd is also great. Concluded: Great game, everyone should know. Alsow very nice that Bluebyte made a 10th aniversary edition.
