It's pretty and mostly bug free but it has three severe problems; AI spreads like flies. While pretty it's hard to distinguish one thing from another visually. Everything has been corporatised. It's bland, mediocre, repetitive and boring. A beige game.
If you switch between above to below ground stuff get built underground instead even in not possible otherwise. This makes the underground content largely unusable and the DLC therefore stinks.
This game is not DRM free. The strategic elements of the game are excellent but the whole thing falls down in the tactical arena. All the basics are there, good graphics, polish, voice but it's just too hard to bother finishing a game because of the actual mechanics and the lack of anything fresh. One of the core problems is the Strategic AI sucks so badly they have made the tactical battle much harder if you wait too much so a rush is the only boring way to win. Definitely not a game for turtles.
If you value your time, your soul and your psychological stability do not play this game. Get vanilla G3 instead and add the community patch.
