    After some patches this is a brilliant game.

    This game had so much potential.

    Great mix of RTS and RPG, undeniable charm but as the game lets you taste real fun it suddenly stops expanding on its fun concepts. Numerous bugs and just rough shape of the game did not throw me off. Nevertheless i was disappointed... not in the game but in its failure to reach its failure to realize its potential. The franchise is worthy of    This game had so much potential.

    The franchise is worthy of existence and deserves to be remade by such developers as Paradox interactive. (as suggested by the fun base)

    Be sure if you are willing to forgive the game its shortcomings you are going to spend numerous hours building your empire! It is truly a unique experience!    … Expand

    A game which is very confusing. It is extremely buggy, quite small and clearly appealing to a very niche group of people............

    BUT

    I honestly find it brilliant. It's addictive mix of a Sims-esque game with medieval bite and political and economical career building makes this a hidden and quirky gem.

    Well worth a Steam purchase if you can forgive the bugs.

    Sjajna igrica koja je nazalost mogla biti neverovatna da su nastavili da je prave kako su i krenuli... jednostavno nisu i neke stvari sto se ticu UI i nemanje tutoriala u starijim verzijama su me jako odbile i jbg.... a bas sam se nadao da ce biti bolje ali nije...

Отдельный + это возможность поставить производства на автоматическую работу(они тоже с своими приколами,не работают когда товар не востребован,не видит повозки припаркованные возле здания и тд.). Графика: персонажи,которые проходят через стены или друг друга, фигурки людей,которые плывут,а не идут. Игровой процесс: даже после многочасовой практики не рискуешь поставить максимальную сложность,потому как от этой игры ты получаешь нервоз,а не наслаждение. Уровень хард не хочет и не будет к тебе благосклонен ни-ко-гда,с первых секунд в игре твой дом палят,а персонажа крадут,о возможности продвинуться по политической карьере в уровне хард я вообще молчу.,сколько бы у тебя не было успеха и денег тебе это не поможет.
    Итог, игра прикольная и каждый раз можно узнавать новые её возможности, но с возможностями гарантией в 65% прийдут непонятки и недоработки    … Expand

    The expansion offers an improvement compared to its disappointing predecessor. It does add more fun to the main game but still leaves me with a mixed overall impression of the second guild series.

    The Guild 2: Renaissance retains the good features of previous editions and includes a few improvements without justifying the existence of this new version. It is still a fun title that does not require the original version to be installed, but should only be considered if you are a true follower of the series. Otherwise, you may have to wait for a collector's edition that may include all the previous titles.

    "Expansions" like this one should be released as patches or included as bonus in reprints of the original game.

    Although far from perfect, this stand-alone add-on delivers at least a thoroughly playable The Guild 2-experience. It adds some new professions and maps to the game that fit perfectly into the system. But most of all, the young developers have managed to eradicate most of the bugs of the main game and the horrible expansion Venice. Plus, the network code now actually works! There are still typical errors like trade carts being stuck or graphical glitches. But the developers have succeeded in carving out the core game experience of The Guild 2 under all of the bugs and design flaws of recent years.
