    +Interesting story

    Cons:
    -The pathing in the game is atrocious. Your units may not walk the way you intended.
    -Unpleasant voice acting in-game
    -Units in an army do not match speeds (more of a preference)
    -In-game animations do not seem detailed enough

    Overall, I didn't really have a satisfying time. Although they did a great job focusing on the visual and audio aspect out-of-game (menus, loading, cut-scenes), they seem to have left the actual game-play untouched. However, given my brief research of the developers, they seem friendly enough, and they are working on a sequel. Hopefully the sequel will be able to create a game that won't make me pull my hair out over one horrible stealth mission experience? Or maybe I'm just spoiled from playing AAA games all the time, who knows.    … Expand

    Boring and poorly programmed real-time strategy lacks even the very basics to be at least average game. The lack of multiplayer in combination with enjoyable stupid AI and poor content condemns Meridian: New World for immediate oblivion.

    Indisputable evidence of Ed’s hard work is the appearance of the game: nice graphics with a decent development of the landscape and models and simple but functional interface. However, we doubt that a handful of Meridian nice features will attract anyone but the most devoted fans of game design of the early nineties. [Nov 2014, p.100]

    Meridian: New World is a classic strategy game. It lacks in variety, but remains fun and effective. Too bad that the visuals have not been worked more.
