Yes I wanted this game to play it with win 7 but although the game was released on February 2015 it is supporting a future version of windows 10 which was released during 29th of July 2015. Well done Devs you have the secret of time travel in your studio.
Although it is a nice idea the execution it feels bellow average. I do like the idea of building and construction and I was hoping for a game similar or even better than House Flipper but the results aren't so good. What I didn't like are several details: While you building several times the materials disappear in to the ground. There is a shop to buy more materials which in many houses you have to do it, but you can't sell after the construction finished the remains. For all the houses you have to follow blueprints. The skill tree although big it doesn't matter so much in the end. The whole concept either it is too simple or lucks stylist and imagination. If you like building then I would suggest to buy it on sale.
I say there is HOPE because a DRM free game like Skyrim even in a worst profile of the Legendary Edition and I say that because the mods which accompany the Special Edition aren't the best which means replay ability soon will get bored. I believe Vanilla Skyrim is a great game for anyone who will play it for the first time but afterwards people tend to want variety either in quality and also in quantity. There are people out there with 500 and even more mods. The bad thing is that the modding community I don't think has started to support the SKyrim -GOG version so my advice would be either buy it because it's DRM free and wait for the modding or just wait. I bought it and I HOPE one day the Nexus modding community will support it.
I have the first 2 games in Steam this time I thought to support GOG not a very happy for the higher price but it supports to play it offline. As I had the previous I was happy to purchase the new StrongHold but it lacks the freedom of the previous how you can build your castle, how you can set your skirmish play. Now you can't choose to buid everywhere in the map so the strategy building forward bases is off. Not the best in this kind of strategy game to withdraw availabilities which you had. Also you got the shit timer on for example gather 20 bows, 20 swords, 20 armors and 40 Iron in certain time about 40 minutes with the worst terrain limitations while an enemy is attacking you and you got a neutral warlord. Ok another shitty situation. Warlords although something new you can't build on their territory and it is a poor feature. Maps about 10-12 for skirmish I do believe that they relay on the community to make for them. Graphics as the years progress from the 1st StrongHold graphics don't. Happy to see the Far East territory. So I do recommend to buy the game if you love StrongHold series but preferably on discount for me both StorngHold 4/5 and StrongHold Crusaders 4/5 for different reasons the same rating are better than the new one. p.s. Funny and pissing situation just observe the fires and the people who should take them off are just standing and watching next to the fire ( the game wants to make damage to you lol). Also use saves as few times the game crash.
It was hard to me how to start explaining my rating as I loved Witcher 3 I have walked the path to pre-order Cyberpunk here in GOG which costed more than Steam about 10 Euros. I don't know if I regret it or not : The idea of the game is really great The game is great when everything hopefully go well on your playthrough because it can go all wrong with all the bugs and crashes that may happen to you. So after 350h I had playthroughs with 1-2 bugs on quests and few crashes (3-5) and others with much more bugs much more problems. They have build a great Night City, great cars and nice weapons nothing that they couldn't do after Witcher 3 but so much things are missing from the trailers and with bad luck so many bugs can be found. If you want to buy it, personally because I love the game, the atmosphere of the whole area and all the set up, JUST WAIT till they manage to fix most of the problems because it is really a great game but 1 per 5 playthroughs so 3/5 rating and I will wait to see it in better condition. I do think if they will start releasing DLC's perhaps then would be nice time to check how it will show in all the videos. By the way so many brains in CDPR they couldn't find a no sad ending :(
