    The worst and best Grand Strategy Game i've ever played. It hardly works at all and is held together with the code equivalent of duct tape, but my god is it deeply endearing to someone like me and i love it just as much as i hate it. Giving it a thumbs up as under this Frankenstein monster of a game is the deepest and most ambitious Grand Strategy Game out there.

    After 14 years of playing every iteration of this game, it is finally almost ready to leave beta quality stage. I am actually enjoying longer game sessions instead of playing for a couple of hours then saying yep, we're not there yet! Let's say between 2008-2021, all iterations of GPS/power&revolution/rulerOfNations etc... left me feeling like my pocket got picked. They've caught some of the most annoying bugs and many of the weird interface quirks. Just enough to make the game entertaining.…

    As always, a copypaste sequel with far too little added with far too few bugfixes at far too high a price. The only advantage this game has is lack of competition, which allows it to be stagnant. I haven't had a version of this game since 2018/2019 editions, and most issues present there are still here. It's somewhat less crash prone, but there's barely any changes otherwise. The few new systems don't justify the pricepoint. The covid mechanics are spammy, dictators can be toppled because a…

    This game is VERY unique and it happens to be one of the only games in this genre so it has such a strong monopoly. First of all the game has NOT changed much since the 2016 version besides a few fixes & some updated information regarding new leaders & global conflicts besides that this is the same as the 2016 version. The 2022 version has a lot less bugs than other versions but still some are present regarding economy & stability. Now to dig into the actual game. Pros and Cons: PROS: 1. Lots…

    Back in 2010, GPS 2 came out, aka Rise of Nations. I bought it from their website at a eye watering price ( I can't remember but I believe it was around $40 or more? ). I was excited to finally find a game that I could play the way I wanted. Except... I didn't. Advance a few years and you get hit by all kinds of bugs. Eversim blurted out other titles such as Masters of the World, Power and revolution and so on. You may think, yes, but that was a game from 2010, what did you expect? And this is…

    I both love and hate this game, and here's why. 1) The game itself is very protectionist and collectivist. Everything boils down to governance; the game has brilliantly thought-out authoritarian and dictatorial regimes, as well as left-liberal regimes. However, everything related to classical liberalism works terribly. If you are not running the country, it is always bad. This game is definitely not for libertarians. 2) The game lacks the ability to federalize and create laws at the regional…

    The best Geo Political game till now Pro: Realistic real data lots of content Con: Bugs expensive bad developer communication It feels like the developers are slowly going in the right direction, there are fewer bugs, more content and it's running smoother, at least for me. My biggest criticism is that the developers hardly communicate anything, that would significantly increase the community

    Yes there are bugs, but for the first time (ever?) I can say that there are less bugs. You won't find a better geo-political simulation game out there, so stop whinging. I was happy to purchase the 2022 version, as I brought democratic change to Iran, so money well spent.

    Somehow less functional then the previous version. Took power as the president of the united states winning every state except DC with 100% approval rating, only for the second I take power to lose 100% of my popularity and be immediately deposed. Absolute nonsense. Instead of adding gitchy nonsense like a conspiracy theory system that does literally nothing, how about you focus on making your game actually live up to its potential by fixing its many issues which have existed for ten years now

I encountered every single bug that existed in Geo-Political Simulator (2008), and the bugs introduced in Rulers of Nations (2010), Power and Revolution (2016), Power and Revolution 2018 edition (2018), Power and Revolution 2019 Edition (2019), Power and Revolution 2020 Edition (2020), Power and Revolution 2021 Edition - with *VERY* few bugs having been resolved since 2008 the game has remained…

    It seems to be the best politics game that you can play to this day. However, you will regret to buy it very early. Here are the reasons: 1.) To many bugs, some exists since the 2019 version 2.) After 2040 (sometimes already 2030) the game feels finished 3.) The AI makes weird decisions (sometimes) 4.) The Data is not always correct 5.) weird random game crashes and bad performance (likely because the game was made for an older OS)

    I would not buy this game or any of the series unless you're very interested in Geopolitics and economics. The developers only care about one thing, $. I've supported this game and developer since 2013 when the first of the series came out... Its the same buggy nonsense that ruins an entire playthrough. 2022 isn't any better, this version is probably the worst of all!

    I played this game for a long long time, from Rulers of Nation GPS2 to Masters of the World GPS3 and now few variants of the game Power & Revolution GPS4 Edition 2021 and 2022. This game is THE best geopolitical simulator! Why? - It contains all segments of live in the games, a lot of economy sectors, a legislative branch, executive branch of government, judicial branch. It contains figures in the game whom which you can make a correspondence, you can bribe them, talk them in to submission,…

    Short review "Power & Revolution - Geo-Political Simulator 4" (or Power & Revolution 2022) returns to us in a 2022 edition. It includes all the geopolitical elements of the past years (the war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, yay!) as well as a new and unprecedented DLC: the God n' Spy mode, allowing further customization of your gameplay. The game in itself is a great idea but the execution of this idea is horrible. The game is plagued by bugs (some of them are the same than in the 2021…

    I'm supposed to hate this game, I am SUPPOSED TO DREAD ITS BUGS but, alas, I keep playing because this is the only game to get my geopolitical fix if I wanna change stuff. The amount of customization is a lot, changing flags and stuff and renaming countries. Don't like the liberal crap thats plastered but either way, it wastes my time, I have a love-hate relationship with this game.

When playing as 3rd country(Burundi), budget deficit cannot be reduced by any fair gameplay. But can be fixed by exploits: - RAISING MINIMUM WAGE. You can do it over and over again with almost no negative effects, this brings unlimited amount of money to your budget via VAT - PORN TAX.

    Power & Revolution 2022 is the ultimate disappointment in every aspect, a true abomination of a geopolitical simulator. Anything it promised is simply a lie, and a 3/10 rating is probably too generous. The economy is an absolute joke. Whatever you do, economic indicators either don't change at all or behave in a completely absurd manner. In one playthrough, I increased taxes on big corporations, and my budget inexplicably increased by 200%, while at the same time, unemployment supposedly…

    I dearly hope that someone eventually makes a good, modern geopolitical sim, someday. This is not that game, nor are any of the (insert year here) versions of it. The interface is genuinely one of the worst possible, the combat is dull, the array of mechanics seems broad, but is really shallow, badly implemented and really, really awkward to use. Then there's the business practice of re-releasing what is essentially the same game with minor tweaks multiple times.

    If you’re considering diving into Power & Revolution 2022 Edition, I implore you to reconsider. This game, while superficially appealing, quickly reveals itself to be a colossal letdown—a prime example of style over substance, driven more by profit motives than genuine quality. Let’s start with the most glaring issue: the gameplay. What could have been a fascinating political simulation is marred by clunky mechanics and a baffling interface that make even the most basic tasks a chore. The game…

Geared towards teenagers, it's accessible with low PC requirements and offers moderate challenges in a story-less, open-ended experience. The playtime is dependent on the player, and is too expensive compared to the gameplay. Minor bugs are present. Overall, it's a4, with room for many improvements, making it suitable for those seeking a distinct visual style and moderate gameplay.…
