Other people's comments, negative and positive, are only a factor in being introduced to a game. After that, I will use my own slow judgement. The initial learning curve - and the game's concepts - do take a little time to grasp. I suppose this is where a good few part with the game. I like things that take a while to appreciate. If you want something that simulates the feeling of being far from the maddening crowd you may appreciate this - eventually.
