If you plan to pick this up for multiplayer, save yourself hours of frustration and don't. It doesnt work.
So the game is a really good game, I like it a lot, however I am unable to play it due to regular crashes. I have a 4070 which is a modern mainstream video card, I play many new games and do not experience crashes anywhere else. I just can't get through the first few areas due to constant crashing to desktop which reverts me to my save in a frustrating groundhog day that just chews through the few hours a week I have to game with. I have tried vulkan/dx11, reduced graphics settings, trawled forums for fixes and nothing I have tried helps. Definitely worth playing if they ever fix it, but my current experience is that this is unplayable, still giving it 2 stars because the few times it has lasted for more than 15 minutes is actually a great game. Crossing my fingers these issues get resolved!
I bought this game on special, I probably should have saved my money, I had read all the bad reviews about the game being slow and tedious, but I usually like slow moving games (like civilisation) so I figured it was worth a shot. I really wanted to like this game, I put a good 30 hours in to see if I could get the hang of it, and I worked most of it out, managed to start a cult etc, worked out methods to progress, but every time the game takes you to a dead end unsatisfying grind while hoping the RGM will bring you your next step, which it rarely does and I turn it off due to boredom. So most of my stories didn't end with me dying from an affliction, or despair, but just because I got sick of grinding those stupid timers. I might give it a couple more shots, but my enthusiasm at this point has been spent.
this claims to be the trilogy, however while the files seem to be there for hugo 2 and 3, there is no executable, so there is no way to play the second or third game via this download
running a brand new ryzen system. it's not me, its you might have to look up the GoG return policy on this one
