Ehhhhh, I recommend the game out of good will and because I had a lot of fun with it. BUT it's super buggy. Almost all the bugs have simple workarounds like reloading but it can be super annoying. For example, at some point in the game you get a quest to unlock magic if you have the DLC...and after being teleported to the castle you need to go, I accidently only sent one gladiator and wanted to send more, so I simply suspended the mission since in theory you can do it anytime...BUT that created a bug that when I sent the gladiators again it always told me in advance that "I suspended the mission" which I did not. And no matter how many days passed or how many times I reload it never allowed me to do the mission. If I did not have an older save of doing the mission with that 1 gladiator It's possible that I would have lost my gladiators forever on top of never being able to finish the mission. So, it's a super fun game. An unpolished gem sadly because of the bugs and so so so many details that would be to long to list.

Fun game, take your time and just fall in love with it. Play on the hardest difficulty so that you actually feel euphoria after victory. Also play ironman, don't try to beat the game, instead try to master it by letting it beat you.
