negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first Realpolitiks was a decent, not great but decent, grand strategy game set in the modern/near future era. It had some intriguing ideas but ultimately fell victim to flawed execution, lack of depth, and some poor design decisions that led to an economic death spiral in most lategames. The second game has all of the first game's flaws and none of its virtues. The economic system is flat-out broken, and any similarity between what the game tells you a certain project or upgrade does and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game seems to be well developed, but there is one major issue that I believe was over-looked. The projects all have flat costs, which is fine. However, they all lack flat bonuses, which means that basically any development of a minor nation puts you into crippling debt without actually allowing for growth of your nation. There should either be a modifier to GDP growth when considering the small size of a nation or some sort of flat bonus to allow smaller nations to be playable. Major…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased this game at a discounted price of $8.99 and still feel I was ripped off. Several aspects of the game are broken. Saving a game and trying to load it later either produces an error, or your country disappears and the game ends. Several achievements don’t work at all. Game mechanics are all over the place. Several things don’t scale properly. There are countless bugs and zero support. The official discord channel is completely ignored by developers/staff. Tech support is mostly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game (very interested in geopolitics), but unfortunately, since the game is more frustrating than fun, I can't. Since the game is in early access, I'll hedge my review with that in mind. 1. 'Arcade'-ish gameplay: I'm sorry, but geopolitics is already a niche field and most players that are into geopolitical games / simulations want to dive into deeper strategy. Realpolitiks II (like the first), is really lackluster and shallow. Don't expect Paradox Entertainment/…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Japan collapsed due to demographic pressures and China imploded amidst environmental issues they couldn't get ahead of, and Russia threw all its GDP and Population at Europe to try to take Poland. In the meantime I was too busy building resorts for the Wealthy to save the world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has been abandoned and quite a few bugs have never been fixed but there's one bug that has never been fixed that destroys this game; when you have a longer game your save file will destroy itself. It's a 4Xish strategy game were you aren't able to have longer games... which is the whole point of this genre of games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The good: - Idea - You can play with every country in the world - Loadingscreens The bad: - Too simple - One proper tactic (be dictator!) - Some bugs - Could be better simulator - Audio Summary: The idea is astonishing and I really wanted to play it, but the game is shallow and mechanics are sometimes too easy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY! READ BELOW!! Game is full of bugs. And unsupported pretty much. Poorly optimized (even on lowest settings my video card is whirring away to render a 3d board with pixelated textures). Save games break. Happened to me on my first try. My save would load, and then I couldn't do anything (I was stuck on the screen to choose my right hand, with no right hands to choose from, and I had been playing for about 5 years, I already had a right hand chosen at the start of the game). Then I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is nice but poorly developed. After 2050 you can't play without having to reboot the entire game every 20 minutes due to performance issues. I have a core i7, 16gb of memory and SSD and using the game with the lowest graphics possible it is impossible to play the game near 2070. It simply stop working, the time does not pass anymore. There are so many performance issues that I ask myself if any developer ever played the game after 2050. I think I just wasted my money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am enjoying the game so far. As Israel, I began with taking over nearby territories, Jordan, and Lebanon. Six years into the game, I had to withstand chronic invasions from Egypt and Syria simultaneously. As easily as they dispatched my military, neither of those countries attempted to send their troops to Jerusalem, where I kept the what was left of my army. This kept either side from achieving a 100 percent war score, which allowed me to keep turning down their demands until each war…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In its current state, I do not recommend. Reasons: 1. Random removal of industrial buildings like farms, minds, bases which lead eventually to economic collapse and there is no explanation for why they are just gone 2. you cannot track your troops easily. When you zoom in and zoom out, they vanish. You can also not multi select troops, just one at a time. 3. Random increase in maintenance cost on building which havent been upgraded. the game doesnt actually tell you which buildings are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game mechanics are simple and easy to navigate, but some aspects are left totally a mystery. For example, provincial environmental degradation is roughly outlined, but no explanation on how to reverse or mitigate. Random rebellions occur because of this game aspect but no guidance or help is available. Speaking of rebellions: the fact that rebel forces seem to split off from your own military, armed with your own weapons, and possessing your same tech is counter to reality - Rebels may…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is held back by the developers' lack of community engagement. Current state of the game is riddled with game-breaking bugs. The developers have mostly ghosted the community, and the forums are dead. It is almost impossible to get any support for issues that may be buried deep in someone's troubleshooting post from long ago. The manuals for the game do not go in-depth, but do a good job of giving you a basic understanding of the game and the modding tool. I've run into several save…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First let me address the reviews that say the graphics are poor. I don't know what computers they have of course, but I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with a 2160p monitor and it looks fantastic! I also ran this game on my older computer which I bought back in 2014 and it runs fine --no freezing, lag, etc., and the graphics are better than average. Now for playing the game. This is a very unique game I must say --in a refreshing way! I don't know how it compares to the first game --I'm on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reivew: Sadly not that much fun from this game in it's current state. Gameplay : Interesting Playabilty: No Replayabilty: Yes Pontenial: Yes Bugs : Lots Patches: Some Game speed: Slow Comment: This review will be edited accordingly later.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit 1: After the playing the game further and a new update I have decided to revise my review. While much of what I said still stands I wanted to add since the developer is clearly listening to the community and putting in the work. I am gunna leave what was originally said since much of it is still true but simply put apprentices on what is fixed I also cam back to say that their are 3 new bugs in this patch BUG 1: When at war, theaters will bug out and prevent you from attacking or doing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Skip this one and get the original (RealPolitiks 1) which is much less ambitious but infinitely more playable and also available on ios. I am one of the people who like to play with a small country and make it great over many years. That's just no fun in RP2. It seems grand strategy sequels so often end up as messy buggy unfinished money grabs, Still it could be worse, comparable superpower 3 for example abandoned the game after releasing it in alpha state. Also comparable power and revolution…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great potential eclipsed by bugs This game does not need any more content. The content it has is already very good, in my opinion. However, does that matter if you can't actually play the game? This is my experience: After 90 minutes of playing, the game crashed twice and closed suddenly while I was playing the TUTORIAL! I did a bit of research online and I saw I could play it if I turned anti-aliasing off. Also, I decided to reduce other parameters. I could play the game without…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has become unbearable. Crazy slow and freezes when countries declare war / more than one country going to war. My rig exceeds the recommended hardware and I never had any performance issues with any other game than this one. Tried a new campaign with a new country and still same thing, goes really slow after a while. So positives? Well I cant put in more than 3 hours per country so cant really comment. I would say save your money dont buy until they come with a fix for this. Cant…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather disappointing, half-cooked game. And instead of polishing it devs just making a new one. Pretty sure it's gonna be the same and they gonna abandon it shortly after to make a new one and...so on. Can't recommend. I want to love this game, but it's just not good.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI spawns units like crazy, even in countries that have no resources.. Ex: Somalia has no Airplanes production when you start the game. Still the AI is able to somehow produce planes.. Warfare is broken
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken game. After a few years it crashes every single time, saves get corrupted and in general you lose your progress. It's a straight up scam that this is being sold.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Guys, game is in shameful shape. Loading screens were shorter in 2005 and game has a lot of bugs(not to mention game wont load after enough ingame time). I had doubts buying this game after RP1, but I bought it in early access, because I like the idea. The idea which this game abandoned pretty fast. Strategic choices? Army composition matters? Replayability and good, nah, DECENT AI? No things like that in the game. Pity
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a game that is still in Early Access and has captivated me for over 100 hours of play, I have to recommend it. Of course, some bugs and game crashes have ensured that the hours come together, BUT the developers are working diligently and you notice progress over the months. There are still a few bugs missing, which will hopefully be fixed by the full release.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The idea of Realpolitiks 2 is awesome, but its implementation is really bad. Realpolitiks 2 provides richer GUI than Realpolitiks 1, but it still lacks keyboard-based controls and demands excessively large hardware resources, being buggy, slow (both in terms of the gameplay with limited options, and in terms of the need to move mouse pointer back and forth between the timer and various panels), and overall boring. As for the bugs, then, the game starts by drawing itself on the 1/4 part of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like the idea of this kind of strategy game, and am a big fan of Paradox games like EU4, Hearts of Iron, and Crusader Kings. I also had fun with the first Realpolitiks, and collected 100% of the achievements for it, so this should be right up my alley. However, I cannot recommend Realpolitiks 2 as it is now (version 1.08). Even if they fix all bugs, some game features simply require a complete rework. The UI is a mess, most features are not clearly explained, and there are rampant…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to recommend this game but: 1. the AI's army tend to glitch out during war and will be locked in combat which prevents peace treaties from working because the game thinks there is a battle on going. Gaining new territory won't actually increase the amount of money you make and will likely decrease the amount of money you make while only increasing your AP (Action Points) 2. Not only are there problems with the military and war it seems like money tends to spike for no explained reason.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game but a large portion of the events do basically nothing except cause you to lose without giving any interesting decision leading to civil wars which don't count as civil wars making your nation a complete mess where you cannot win, lose all your allies and half your territory to smaller nations with armies twice the size of your entire country. Edit: The game seems to be far more playable now than it was before but i would still wait as there are a few balancing problems such as…

In the meantime I was too busy building resorts for the Wealthy to save the world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game stinks. The game looks, feels, and breathes, like a budget Paradox game, nothing really unique which sets it apart from games such as Hearts of Iron 4 and EUIV map-wise, which would be a good thing as they're both great titles, but the game is mired in self-obsession, is extremely laggy for no reason as the map is poor quality, and is pretentious and stale. The lack of actual data, arbitrary nonsense such as gold as currency, in 2021? Population and GDP figures make no sense,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Over 1 year after this game released it is still worse than the first one. And i dont recomend this to anyone. The graphics are poor, the mechanics are worse and all in all it is not very enjoyable to play. On top of that it is filled with bugs and glitches that makes it hard to play for a long time. I had big ambitions for this game considering the first games enjoyability, and unfortunatly it does not live up to the expectations.. 2/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →before this game was released i expected it will be better than (Realpolitiks I ) but i was wrong (Realpolitiks I ) is better than this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since i can't give a mixed revieuw i need to give it a negative... The game sure has alot of fun things but there are so many bad things that ruin the fun... Pro's - Better graphics than the first part. - alot of new options. - using of units is more realistic by transfering them from one to another province. - Buildings and upgrading of buildings. - more realistic politics, with a parlament and all. - spys are very interesting and more fun to use. Con's - Bugs loads of them, at the end of my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great concept of a game. Unfortunately this game still needs alot of polish, rough interface and boring at times. None of the games resources really matter when it comes to playing, except for military units you never use metals or oil. The only resource that really matters are Action Points but by mid game you are hardly getting any and there is no clear path to getting more. Province interface is unintuitive and bombards you with tons of useless data. All in all this game is overly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite some ambitious ideas, the execution is poor, and the interface is confusing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still a bad game. Don't buy it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game freezes all the time and you have to wait half of minute for it to unfreeze. I have an amazing PC and this still happens. I can't imagine how are people playing this with lower end PC's. I guess they are not... Sad. Because the game is interesting. Also the map view is so bad. You can't even view proper borders of your country and other countries. It all look very messy IMO.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow...wow this is a HUGE step down from the first game. First off, it runs terrible. Visual glitches galore. This game's CPU optimization is terrible. It draws temperatures I have never seen in any other game. Meanwhile, it still stutters and lags like crazy Next...the gameplay. God, how did they ruin it? All info in the first game used to be easily accessible. Now it's buried in mobile-esque menus that you need to dig to under many others, or slide across infinitely to find. They've added…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unacceptably choppy UI, mouse tracking is so bad tooltips show up maybe half the time. Saving a game takes half a minute for some reason.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't recommend they seem to have neglected it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would not recommend. Full of bugs, editor is too complicated and the devs dont respond to the emails.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The basical idea of the game is very interesting but the game itself has more than one flaw: 1-The lack of Italian language,I am from Italy and it really bothers me to see that my native language(more than 70 milions native speakers, spoken in four States and therefore with a market far superior to that of other languages in which the game is available) is not available. 2-The economical situation of several countries(mainly Eastern countries) does not reflect the reality. I will give you two…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where to begin? If you decide to create a free market society, you will get automatic unhappiness modifiers. If you plop one factory in Tennessee or a resort in Hawaii, the environmental degradation will skyrocket for the entire state. Want to go forward with a diplomatic action? Well, you have one shot, and even if it succeeds, and unknown variable changing after it's success will nullify the bloc agreement. Want to try again? Good luck, no idea how to get the points to try again, no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Potential bug on the game. You need military access before invading a country. Doesn't make sense to me. Why would you take positive actions with a country before taking negative actions?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great game with tons and tons of potential, marred by some very real and very frustrating issues. I'll start with this: This is a STELLAR game for anyone just getting into Grand Strategy, the fundamentals can be learned in less than a week with little to no external help (wikis, etc) and it's generally a very good pick-up-and-play experience. Singleplayer campaigns will last about a week and a half if you're playing for a few hours every day and they're generally a pretty fun…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After the first game I was so optimistic about the second... Until I started playing it. Absolutely unplayable, buggy, slow and clunky. On year 2037, time freezes and need to reload constantly to fix the clock, can no longer select buildings so cannot build any more army or infrastructure, even after hours of work building a block, hours wasted on a buggy mess. Fix or just take it off public sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If the first game in the series was simple and somewhat glitch, not to say silly at times, it was also somewhat fun and it largely made intuitive sense... This game is completely nonsensical. It's not only unrealistic, it's counter intuitive, arbitrary, repetitive, and boring. It adds little to nothing of value while completely undermining the basis built by the previous game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like the concept of the game, however, there are just way too many problems in the game to make it enjoyable. The game run rather sluggish and unstable. There are not enough information for many things in game, such as the building tree. One thing stops me from playing anymore is that the smaller nations can't stop getting themselves bankrupts. Every time a nation get bankrupt, they lost 15 relationship with all country for almost 3 years. Nations can bankrupt multiple times in short…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Hopefully they continue to fix it but the developers have been great so far. Well worth the play. 300 hours plus in before it was fixed lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and what you would expect from such a game. It is a bit laggy at times but that is my only issue. This game does really REALLY need a Steam Workshop.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The truth is that the game is very good. It has everything to be a good Grand Strategy Game. But it seems that he has not looked sideways. It has Super Power 2 that being from 2002 has almost better graphics, better economy and edition of units. For me the worst are the map graphics and the bad balance on the economies and weapons production as well as diplomacy. That is why I would like to give Juju bee a negative evaluation so that they will strive to improve what they have if they get it,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw a quote from the brilliant mind of Thomas Sowell on a game loading screen. 10/10 seems a good game also.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Literally can't wage war upon anyone when I'm playing as Vietnam. The saving take up 1 minute. Laggy and unoptimized graphic. Just play Realpolitiks 1, it's more fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In my opinion, the second game is an improvement to the first one. This is due to a better focus tree with more possibilities, which makes the lategame more interresting. One bad thing about the tree is that a few projects cost more ressources, when the amount of your provinces increases. This leads to insane waiting times of a few real life hours for one project that you need for one of the win conditions. Another improvement is that your country can grow bigger. In the first game, at one…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I regret buying this game. Graphics looks horrible and unprofessional, yet it is very slow. I have it on lowest graphic settings and there is still lags. I dont have this issue with other games, only this one. This game is such a mess, honestly, im disappointed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. The game interface is clunky and annoying like in bad games 20 years ago. 2. Game time is running too slowly even at the fastest pace which is boring. 3. Saving and loading is very slow (I have a high-end PC). 4. The game mechanics are often unclear (mainly caused by a bad interface). Some of them seem redundant. 5. Getting money is very easy, the developers didn't spend a lot of time in balancing. 6. The events in the popup are either irrelevant or idiotic. 7. The gameplay seems quite…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you bought the first Realpolitik PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS!! The game has a new interesting approach but when you start playing IT IS A NIGHTMARE: -BUGS EVERYWHERE: loosing crazy money, downgrading your economy to the minimum, diplomatic bugs... -VERY SLOW: it takes forever to load or start a game. -CONFUSING INTERFACE: increased complexity and confusing. -WAR MODE MICROMANAGEMENT: now it is more complex and less fun to start a war, doesnt add any value as there is not "automated" mode. To sum…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aside from a recurring crash that appears like clockwork shortly after loading my last save game, I haven't experienced any game-breaking bugs. This save being approximately 170 hrs into my first and only play through. I think the fact I would still be playing the same play through after that amount of time speaks for itself in a lot of ways. I think it would be completely unfair, after being entertained for that long, to not recommend any Early Access game. I played as New Zealand for my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to be clear from the start, if you go into this expecting a ridiculously high tier game, you'll be disappointed. What it is though is a ridiculously addictive and fun game. Not sure how replayable I'll find it in the long run, but for now I'm enjoying it. There are a few issues I'd like to mention, before we get into talking about the actual game though. The first is that there's something ridiculously annoying about the Falklands being called the Falklands but the sea area around it…
