A clever spiritual successor to Civilization full of both novelties and big ideas.
A thoroughly integrated and refreshing mix of classic 4X turn-based strategy, role-playing elements and varied events.
Old World is a successful hybridization experiment, which lacks only in the interface, sometimes very unclear, and in explaining its main mechanics to the player, due to a really lacking tutorial.
Old World is a smaller-scale 4X game than its Civilization forbearers but its new ideas add both interesting depth and intimidating complexity.
Old World adds dimension and complexity to the 4X style, but its slow pace and intricate resource management hinder it from reaching its full potential.
Old 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.
While the game has interesting concepts and ideas, some odd design choices and an atrocious tutorial hamper Old World’s ambition.
