Jun 7, 2022Let's call this game The Blandening of Civ & Crusader Kings. That's about what you get. It's okay, but it didn't hook me. Because I've played this game before. It's just a straight reskin of these other games. I want to like it, but it carries the same flaws of these other games without really introducing anything that's new. So it feels bland and empty, and ultimately, just not much fun.

Mar 1, 2021It adds some interesting mechanics that add some variety to the genre, but other aspects suffer. As development continues it might improve somewhat. It's not a bad game by any means. I'm a fan of the genre, but this just doesn't bring quite enough to the table. it seems very gimmicky, slow and lacking in meaningful strategic variety.

Nov 30, 2021Old World has its moments, but it's a very niche offering. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't hardcore about 4X games because the learning curve is brutal. However, if you've played the rest and you're looking for something new, and especially if the overload of stats is something you find compelling, check out Old World. At the very least, you get to enjoy Christopher Tin's majestic soundtrack.

Jul 15, 2021A thoroughly integrated and refreshing mix of classic 4X turn-based strategy, role-playing elements and varied events.

Jul 14, 2021Old World is a smaller-scale 4X game than its Civilization forbearers but its new ideas add both interesting depth and intimidating complexity.
