TLDR; I love it, if you like to make systems, you will too. Just be aware it has a steep learning curve. I got into this game because of a friend's suggestion. At first I thought it was a unhelpful building strategy game. I was waaay off. Its a game about being lazy, if you have to do something more than a few times, you might need to automate the process. I am terrible at this game and I love it. I found that watching the serious speedrunners that did some helpful multipart walkthrough style speedruns, made me that more effective and efficient at setting things up. Don't get me wrong, I have that 200 hour instance where I goof around with things and try to figure systems out before hitting up the social media help systems.
I bought this game when it first came out, before I knew what minimum requirements meant. I had to wait one year before I could get a job to build myself a PC to run the game, which was why I started into computer building. This game was TOTALLY worth the wait. I loved the saints system and exploring the country side to find that little out of the way monastery to learn about the right saint to battle your next mission. I found the economics system fascinated me. But the best part to me was that the game had so many modes, from isometric squad combat, to adventure-esce menu town interaction, to world map overview. This was the first game I had encountered that really captured my attention and taught me a few things about middle age history. (Edu-tainment got a leg up with this title.)
