What players say

80% of 31,160 reviews are positive · 78% of 214 in the last 30 days

Players praise the deep production chains, broad empire management, and amount of content. Their dominant complaint is Ubisoft Connect: repeated logins, account-linking failures, and server outages can prevent the game from launching, even for solo play.
