So, you know what happened after Zeus said: "Release the Kraken!"? Well, it looks like the devs have that Kraken running amok syndrome. Reoccuring bugs (despite being stated as fixed in patchnotes), change of platform it's run on (dropping Win 7&8 over, yes, it used to say that it's compatible with those systems). If you're on Win 10+ and had couple of drinks beforhand whilst playing this game for laughs and giggles when 5 different customers get stuck naked in changing area, and then go to the common rooms once released, then yeah, get it on mega sale or something like that.It can be fun, just like playing with burning candle and getting burnt a bit after you played with hot wax.
I can see a potential in this game. However, it's only a potential. The need to go via Paradox to go multi isn't great, but has been mentioned in the reviews before. At the moment though, the game is barely playable, and that comes frome someone, who spent countles hours playing MoO3 before they even thought about fixing it a bit with the mods. The memory leak is terrible, absolutly terrible. You can try restarting the whole game every 20-30 minutes, but how many times can you do that, before you think "hold on, I had more fun with mine sweeper" or something along this lines. The game stars trying to put you in windowed fullscreen mode, this won't even let you have those 20 minutes of nice, smooth gameplay that this game is capable of. Yes! It is capable of it! So if you think you can put up with playing in short bursts (interesting idea of reducing your time spent playing in general), or love this kind of sand boxy space games, it might be good for you even now. If not, it might be worth to wait for them to fix the memory leak. We're talking Paradox here though and tendency towards milking gamers with DLCs, so it might be a good while. Overall, it might be enjoable, and I did ejoy it, though for a short while. After that it's griting your teeth or frequent restarting. I would put 3 stars, if the reload times for the whole game were quicker, but as it is, it's 2 stars.
