    It's an incredibly niche title, which unfortunately suffers from one too many flaws.

    Rulers of Nations gives you the opportunity to rule one out of 170 countries. No matter what you do, always listen to the people and your ministers. Or fire them! Unfortunately, this game has too much possible course of actions, which makes it pretty confusing.

    Even the so-called "hardcore" games should be fun to play, but Geo-Political Simulator 2 is too stodgy to let you have any.

    Original and interesting concept is buried deep under confusing micromanagement system and poor visuals. Only a few experts would evaluate its potential. [Issue#200]

    On the positive side: it is an incredibly deep and ambitious title, there are no other current gamest that would go near to it with the levelOn the positive side: it is an incredibly deep and ambitious title, there are no other current gamest that would go near to it with the level of depth and possibilities.

    On the negative: the developers release the same game every half-a-year (GPS 1-3, Commander in Chief, Yo Presidente, Masters of the World, Worlds Leader, Rulers of Nations 1-2, etc.) for an elevated price of €50-60 (plus paid DLCs and additional tools) with only minor, non-critical improvements that could have been implemented in a patch.

    That said, the game is getting a bit better every year, but is still full of bugs and discrepancies. Could be worth trying if you are into geopolitical games, but be prepared for a lot of frustration, and a bit of anger at the developers who are trying to ripping you off by releasing new edition only to forget about them as patches are rare.

    It is not worth it, bugs do not allow an enjoyable gameplay, it is a total waste of time, also they can randomly betray you in your own country.
