The Adaptation It's in that sweet spot of feeling like a board game with the added convenience of digital. Most adaptations do too little or too much and suck the life out of the game - so massive kudos on design choices and getting over the biggest stumbling block. The Boardgame The game itself, once you have a basic understanding, should appeal to a lot of pc strategy gamers. Learning how to exploit the faction traits, player mats & pulling off combos, thereby maximizing your turns is extremely satisfying! Makes you feel like some sort of savant military strategist, slowly tightening the noose on those Rusviet scum, their lifeless bodies lying cold in the desolate tundra... ehm, yes. Very enjoyable. The Bugs None that I've found so far. It's early access so maybe you will. Claims that it's unplayable or riddled with bugs sound like unfortunate timing with a bad patch or straight up hyperbole. The devs are very active and I'm having a great time so non-issue for me on this topic. The Tutorial It gives you the basics but a more complete approach is needed for this type of game. This game is not naturally intuitive, but so good once it clicks! I want every meaningful section of the game spelled out for me and a handheld walkthrough of a few turns, with topics flowing into each other in meaningful way. Have an intro video, have a basic tutorial of what things mean, have an advanced playable tutorial on how different elements interact within the game. Provide all the resources your players need to enjoy the game without extra work. Overall Recommendation I'm mainly a solo or 2p boardgamer, I've got TTS, Tabletopia, a bunch of boardgames on iPad and PC so these adaptations are of particular interest. A better tutorial, some graphic and UI polish, add a few extra features and this is one of the top boardgame adaptations for me. Price/value is subjective imo but it's specifically designed to be highly replayable if that helps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Would especially recommended to boardgamers who were very interested but didn't invest in the cardboard version because of setup times, player count, inadequate solo option etc., and to pc strategy players who enjoy a little learning, some planning, looking one or two steps ahead, and the pure satisfaction of executing something you intended.Show moreShow less

I love the game Scythe. I play it all the time with several board game groups in the region where I live. I'm usually pretty good. However, I absolutely hate this digital edition. It is buggy as a swamp. Like I just played a game where I finally had a great faction and player board combo and a good engine going, then the dang game froze up where the person whose turn it was had no timer countdown. Other players confirmed. We waited like ten minutes and it sat at 24:50 with no change on that player and no response from player. There was no method of doing an error report in game. No method to reach the player and player was not responding to in-game chat. So, three out of five of us who were playing decided to quit, thus loosing ELO points for something out of our control. When we got to the lobby, the player whose turn was locked up said that he didn't lose any ELO and one player (likely the last left in game) gained 100 ELO. That is BS. This digital edition is worthless. Too frustrating and not fun at all.Show moreShow less

I really don't understand why this game is getting so little love... In my opinion the developers did a great job to bring this board game to PC. I even like it better than the original table top version, to be honest. Never had any issues with online matches either, so I don't see any real reason to complain. Yeah, it's a lot to take in at first but this has nothing to do with the digital version, it's the general learning curve of the game. If you are unfamiliar with the rules, you can look them up in the included PDF and / or play the tutorials. If this doesn't help, just compete against bots to get a hang of how to play. Graphics are decent, sound is adequate and it really plays great. You also get the soundtrack of the game for free as DLC, which is nice. In my 24+ hours of game time I did not encounter a single bug so I really don't understand most of the negative reviews here. Yes, the player mats look different in the digital edition (which can be seen in the screenshots of this store page) but that isn't a disadvantage. In fact, the digital edition even highlights the possible moves you can make per turn and thus helps you better understand the game's mechanics. This digital editon is a rock-solid adaption of the board game in several ways. The AI received an update recently, too, so the argument of 'AI playing awful' doesn't really count. Only downside for me is that the expansions are not available, yet, but this might change in the future. Overall I really enjoy this game and I'm glad I bought it. No regrets whatsoever.Show moreShow less

Still has some game breaking bugs (Combat not popping up and halting the game completely is 1 of them) No undo button on online games. Other than that its great! Easy fixes but who knows if the devs care. Edit 5-27-20: Combat bugs only seems to occur when 2 battles happen on the same move and the bug triggers when completing the first battle and moving on to the second battle. First battle concludes and second battle fails to come up thus freezing the game. Happend 3 times to me total so far. Unacceptable.Show moreShow less

Great game with a steep learning curve but a ton of strategy. Digital Edition also does a nice job of still making it feel like a board game but taking care of all the point counting and things automatically. My #1 wish is for an "Undo" button for casual multiplayer matches, like they have in AI games. It's way too easy to mis-click a unit, or forget to move your resources, or accidentally skip an action. Players should be able to request an undo, and if everyone else in the game agrees they can repeat their turn. Please add this huge QoL featureShow moreShow less

Sorry, I LOVE this game, but this digital version is crap. It has been out for months now. And this is like the 7th game I have tried (again I love the game, and want it to succeed, so like an idiot I keep trying), where in the middle of combat, it locks up. I was ONE turn away from winning a two-human, three AI game, when I was attacked by a bot. I can 'select' my card, but pressing OK does nothing. No option but to just exit the game. REALLY??? SEVEN times that has happened. It has been out for MONTHS and it STILL FREEZES IN COMBAT???? Waste of money for now. Sadly, i'm a sap, and I will be on again in a few months to try again....Show moreShow less

A great port of a great game. I haven't experienced any bugs or crashes. Two main negatives: - The AI is pretty bad on any difficulty, as usual - The UI could see some improvements: Often it requires quite a few clicks to do what you want to do. But those aren't major and I've had a lot of fun playing it.Show moreShow less

I purchased this primarily so I could play Scythe with my husband, but there doesn't seem to be any way to make a private game for online play. I don't see any way to invite friends to your online game either, and there is no LAN option. The solo play options seem nice, but the multiplayer is unintuitive and lacking the basic options found under "Play" (offline). You can't even choose a faction in online play. I'd really like something I can play casually with friends.Show moreShow less

Do I recommend this game?... yes and no. Yes, if you already know how to play the game. No, if you are new/ intrigued and looking for first impressions. This review is bias because Scythe is by far my favourite physical board game to date. So I’m giving it a good rating because of that. I already know how to play so therfore I love it. What this digital version of the game is in desperate need of is a UI overhaul, that’s all. At the moment the UI just confuses even simple concepts. This will be a nightmare for new players. EDIT: I've played this game a bit more now and the user interface is slightly better (combat cards look more like they do in the physical game). I still think it needs an overhaul, I wish they just used the boards like in the physical game, or at least give the option. I'm really looking forward to the addition of expansions as they are all great...just hope they come soon (mainly the rise of fenris because it's a brilliant expansion and it will basically give the digital version a campaign mode). Also im sure everyone is aware by now but this game DOES include online multiplayer. two types. play & stay and play & go. this is obviously a great addition to the game. All in all i would recommend this game now... it's better than it was and it can surely only get better from here.Show moreShow less

The application is a faithful rendition of an excellent board game with beautiful graphics and few (if any) bugs. However, the usability the interface has left myself and those I play with frustrated on every occasion that we used the game. I can safely say that no play through went unmarred by problems with movement or understanding the rules. Newer players frequently left their resources behind while moving a mech with no ability to undo the action. This marred their experience and had them refusing to play further. The tutorial built into the game was also clunky and very difficult for one player to help another should they have a question. My hope is that with time (and a few patches) this game will reach its full potential and I can switch my recommendation to yes. The programmers put a lot of attention to detail and so I believe this game will eventually be successful.Show moreShow less
