If you like a good story game with tactical rpg elements this is for you. it gets a little grindy and tedious at times, but the gripping moments are action packed and the funny moments will make you chuckle. well worth the 25 bucks i paid for it.
gave me around 50-60 hours of gameplay, while rushing through it.

Missing a few things that an AOE game needs, but enjoyable and on it's way to being a great game if it gets a few more update runs.

An unfinished game, soul less, and a far cry from what a battlefield should be. Devs should be embarassed to even release such hot steaming garbage. *pun intended.

Server problems, gameplay bugs, missing content, lack of progression. you name it, Battlefield 2042 is missing it.

i've played every game since the beginning of this franchise, I waited years for you to get it right, but no longer, this series is dead to me and i will be spending my money on games where the devs actually care about their product.

I played a week long game of Rimworld, and when i finally lifted off the planet and ended the game.
i booted up Space Haven and continued from there but in space.

10/10 would play more when there's more content.

Great game, but plagued with the bugs which still havent been fixed since release 2 years ago.

Invisible zombies, contant disconnection problems and many more.

Awesome expansion but none of the bugs were fixed!!!

After several multiplayer disconnects with a hard monster resulting in sessions of 45mins of play before dying and nothing to gain for it. it becomes frustrating increasingly fast. Fix your connection issues.

Update: Came back for iceborne to find out my 100hrs of gameplay has been deleted. Will not be playing again, thanks capcom.

I loved the Stronghold crusader 1 as a kid, so as soon as i saw Crusader 2? i hit the instabuy button.
Boy was that a bad idea after playing the game.
(i havent touched the multiplayer so i wont comment on that part)

I'll list some of my pros and cons about the game so far:

Cons:
------------- In General -----------------------------
-Menu, really simple (looks too "clean/old fashioned") [maybe just me? but thats what i thought]
-Artwork, Seems a little simple and cartoony for this sort of game.
-Options, Severe lack of options customisation! No controls changing! No advanced graphic settings (for a 2014 game).

-------------Moving to gameplay now---------------

-Unit Pathfinding sucks. utter terrible. (could be improved with a patch so wouldnt worry too much)
-Wall building system is terrible, i could place a wall then try to delete and not work.the wall is still there! (probably a bug)
-No moats! What happened to Crusader 1's moats??
-Everything is over simplified by a lot compared tot he original.
-No tooltips or explanations ( have to look on game wiki but i think the devs are being lazy here)
-Graphics in general,Textures are horrible! for a 2014 game
-LESS buildings than the original, YES, LESS STUFF, (isnt the point of a sequel is to expand the original?? not take stuff out!)
-Maps arent well designed, not many trees, not enough grass etc.
-Expensive! Everything is so expensive and selling doesnt get you much, (maybe needs a balance)
-They got rid of the happiness, decorations system! (sandbox without decorations?! thats suicidal)
-Units dont look as good as they should for a 2014 game, (maybe i should include this in graphics?)
-Right/left clicking was weird, cant change controls for these.
-Building against a natural ditch or water doesnt work very well, wall might cut off randomly without the battlements.
-Natural disasters!! Who the heck thought it was a good idea to include this??! (well at least you could turn it off xD)
-Did they recycle voices from the original? (i dont really mind but might not sit well with some people)

Pros: ( lets end witht he happy stuff)
-AI changes were much better than the original, although they still fall for the same tricks used in the original.
-Likes the market auto sell system!, nice touch!
-Got the same old Crusader 1 feel to the game!
-Liked some of the new defensive attachments.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somethings devs might want to consider:
-INFORMATION! Add more tips!
-When your resources are low make it blink or something!
-Can still repair walls instantly while enemy blowing up walls with trebs.
-Add moats back in.
-Maybe try some better graphics? ( dont know if its possible at this point).

Also just a note to the devs!

We love your work, we dont mind how long it takes to come out, be it 10 years or 20 years but please make it a great game worthy of the firefly title. I know you guys can do it from seeing crusader 1. Keep up the good work!
