Go another way and look at what SWOS did well and take that into 2020, I could forgive the gameplay of this game if it had more of a management feel to it and I think there is a huge gap in the market for that.
It has some bits people will love, It has some bits a lot of people will hate and its one of the hardest unrewarding games for the casual gamer I have played in a while. If you want a hard game that you will play for hours to progress by inches instead of miles then this could be for you, If not then try something else.
