negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Checked for updates, last update june 2023 followed by: Surprise we are making a new The Guild Game. Shocked that this game was able to get out of early access and now is released. Guess what game i will not buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where do I start. Bought years ago, as I played the original and the 2nd. Loved this type of game, unfortunately the dev and producers could care less about anyone. As you see in the unfinished product. They use excuses as to why they did not finish and that is all they are. I understand development as I have supported and secured 2 fortune 500 companies and 4 start ups and this shows me that it was a cash grab after the fact and still is. Steam needs to be held responsible as they are not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I put about 60 hours into this because I love the concept. On paper, this should be incredible. Medieval dynasty sim. Run businesses. Manipulate politics. Marry strategically. Destroy rival families over generations. And yet it never truly comes alive. The systems are there, but they feel shallow once you understand them. Businesses become solved loops. Politics lack real tension. Rival families rarely feel like genuine threats. You spend more time waiting for timers than making meaningful…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought years ago, the game has never reached a playable advertised state and is now abandoned. Last game update was in 2023.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has a ton of potential. But as other reviews state, the game is unfinished and abandoned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Won't support this dev ever again, left this game an unfinished, unpolished turd Don't buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned, unfinished, DONT BUY! Multiplayer doesn't work, the devs don't care.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad money grab. Dev abondoned the game, and now developing a new Guild game. Yet posting updates on Guild 3 page. Way to rub salt in the wound
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Flawed but Incredibly Addictive Medieval Life Sim (370 Hours Later) After pouring nearly 400 hours into The Guild 3, I have seen the absolute best of what this game has to offer, as well as its most frustrating shortcomings. To give a completely unbiased take: this game is deeply flawed, yet undeniably addictive. If you are coming from The Guild 2: Renaissance, you need to temper your expectations. It does not have the same level of deep, personal RPG mechanics. However, if you evaluate…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →they gave up on it. Dont buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Developers gave up on this game and left it a partially finished piece of trash; already moved onto the next without finishing this one
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very close to a scam. Game is fundamentally incomplete and basically has been left 'as is'. There's not even a semblance of a gameplay loop here and multiple basic features simply do not work or crash the game. This game is a great example of 'Steam should actively hold publishers responsible for incomplete deliveries'. THQ Nordic should be straight up ashamed to have shoveled this onto the market.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bought on EA release day, got massively dissapointed, tried checking in a few times later - still sucks ass, devs chose the wrong direction. game doesn't play like the second one at all, requires zero-to-minimal input from you to win itself
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this game... It doesn't have the depth of the guild 2 and frequently crashes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Guild Series is one of my favorite gaming franchises. The Guild 3 clears up a lot of UI issues from previous games. Making it easier to actually play, and the program seems very stable compared to earlier versions that were prone to crashes. Sadly, it loses sight of what the franchise is, and has always been. The computer players are toothless. Even on harder difficulties, there is no real competition. In fact, I spend most of my time in game trying to keep my competitors from going…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorely needed the treatment 'The Guild 2: Renaissance got'. Not a bad game, just an unfinished one. Shame devs jumped ship. Can't recommend it over its predecessor, unfortunately. Worth it on sale and on sale only. Don't expect much.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing a couple of hours of The Guild 3 (G3), I can confidently say that I genuinely enjoy this game despite its (major) flaws. This game has luckily become a gateway for me to discover and enjoy The Guild 2 (G2). Mind you, I tried out G2 and watched +10 year old 2hrs worth of YouTube tutorials just to understand the basics. But I got put off quickly by the very old UI, its complexity and graphics and never booted it up again until two years ago. First of all, my personal gripes with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned, Unfinished, and utterly dogshite.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just noticed the announcement of “The Guild – Europa 1410.” Does this mean that The Guild 3 was a success? I bought The Guild 3 and didn’t ask for a refund, expecting that over the years it would become something playable. But it seems that instead of making a great concept work, you decided to abandon it and launch essentially the same game under a slightly different name.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The guild series have always been an ambitious title with niche player base, It would have worked as a multiplayer game for friends to hang out despite its bugs and other balances. If it would at the very least fixed its connectivity and hosting, the game might had a lasting lifespan. But the developers or even publishers wouldnt even listen to the public ramblings of all its problems, the sequel is a big no from me unless it is able to garner back mainstream support.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was abandoned the The Guild 2 was far better than this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Avoid this rot! The game is underdeveloped and abandoned. You can't buy a church, be a priest, the only thing you get is 2 separate preacher buildings that have no upgrade. Everything looks like this. This is wrong! If you want the real The Guild then buy TG2 Renaissance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an unfinished mess, play the Guild 2: Renaissance if you want the true Guild experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased the Guild 3 on release and can't play it. Not because my PC can't run it but because it's just a bad game to play. You're much better off buying the Guild 2: Renaissance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the idea of the game and the pictures and videos made it look great but what the game promises and what is actually delivered is so far apart from each other its really disappointing. Like, where do you even start, everything about the game is very shallow. Its like they thought of an idea and then just touched on it but not actually expanded it in any way. For example, you make a character fall in love with you by spamming sweet talk or some other random chat option until the % is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the type of game youre either going to LOVE or HATE without much in between. This game is as if a tycoon game, an RPG and an RTS (without the level of micro a normal RTS would have) had a child. If you dont like both styles of games, you probably wont like this. Really the closest thing to it that I've played is Kenshi, and it is barely comparable to Kenshi . While no one is pleased that the game is abandoned, it is not hard to see why that choice was made. The game never got much…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crap. Complete crap. Now they are making a new Guild because this one is coded so bad they cant fix it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun at first but no new updates because they are making another version of the game: The Guild - Europa 1410 so don't buy this one
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Multiplayer does not work anymore, devs doesn't care dont buy it !!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having never played any other Guild game and having only paid $6 for this game. I have enjoyed playing it with my friend. The UI is not the best but I have put 6 hours into it in 3 days so by all accounts Im having fun with it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review: The Guild 3 Playtime: ~40 hours I really tried to like this game. Over the past few months, I’ve given it several chances, but it just never clicked for me. For context: I haven’t played the previous titles, so I can’t compare – I’m judging this game on its own. The problem is that it feels unfinished. The last meaningful update was years ago, and the gameplay loop quickly becomes dull. You assign your character (and others) a daily routine with tasks, speed up time, and then just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an abandoned money grab. A complete sham of a promise. This seems to have been a money grab, and a lazy one at that. The game is barely playable, UI is horrible, and game breaking bugs prevent any meaningful progression. Promises were made to address this and three years later nothing. The developers have moved onto a new project. Would not purchase anything from this company. How this is still being sold is beyond me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game gets way too much hate, it has none of the charm of the Guild 2, but it is also not terrible, for once I like the fact I can play an entire playthrough without it CTDing. The whole game feels emptier like there is less to do and less quirky and funny things to look at while playing. it might be the modern clean interface, it might just be that Versengold is not coming to play at your tavern. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAsBbXVOCoc I really can't complain about the changes they made to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game, unfinished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They never finished the game.. Last update 2023.. Highly not recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get Guild2: Reneusance and Install megamod reforged. Skip this pile of refuse.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, I have played "The Guild" series since its inception, and while every game should stand as it's own product, this is essentially an updated version with slightly better graphics. The gameplay can become very redundant, and while you may get plenty of options to customize your playthrough, you will eventually hit the wall of redundant tasks. The UI is pretty clanky and it can be very cumbersome to management your inventory, especially as your dynasty grows, managing one inventory is not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought Guild 3 a while Ago in a Steam sale for a few Euro but didnt really have time and motivation to look into the game especially as the Game looks super complicated on the first looks. After around 8h playtime or so now i can say the Game is not complicated at all and instead super simple and shallow. On one hand the Game gives you dozen of things you could micromanage but on the other hand its not really needed. Especially after one or two of your buildings start make money you can just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The price was nice, but the game has not been finished. Last update 2023 and it needs more tuning. Looks like it has been abandoned. And now they are Beta testing the next Guild, not sure if I have confidence in Guild 1410 (Or whatever they want to call Guild 4).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Waited so long, only to end up with this disappointment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Critical bugs which make the game unplayable. They've been known for years and still not fixed. Terrible publisher, buyer beware.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The last update was unbelievable two years ago. Do you think your game that is a perfect game? Indubitably no
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Start From Nothing & End With Everything The Positive's + Working Multiplayer + Multiple Businesses + Ever Changing Economy The Negative's - Unstable Multiplayer At Times - Minor Bugs The Aspect Of The Game You play as a peasant with just enough money to start there own business and family. Work you way from nothing building your business and rising through the medieval world building a family and sabotaging the other dynasty's as your guild grows from nothing to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know steam needs to step in. but they need to remove this game off early access and market it as abandoned. seeing that they've come out with another game. I don't recall the last time I played this game was really buggy as well as missing a lot of features. do not recommend as well I wouldn't recommend the upcoming game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How dare THQ start on a new game while never fixing this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →announced new guild game before finishing this one
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They happily took peoples money for the game, then happily abandoned it, giving everyone that paid for it the middle finger.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So imagine playing the guild 2 but its got better graphics and a more confusing UI and its kinda clunky AF. That's the Guild 3. Nothing new here. Same game with a better graphics pack and honestly, its a really niche thing. If you don't like guild 2, don't bother. Don't buy this at full price. I got it for 8 bucks. That's all its worth. I say this as a fan.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned after they failed to make a game from 12 years ago.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →abandoned & unfinished
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfinished game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was very concerned about all the bad reviews. If you know the series, and like it, you will enjoy this version as well. Basically The Guild 2 with better graphics, more things to do and new mechanics which I like. No bugs encountered so far. Get is when it's on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It looks better than G2 - but not 2022-better. It plays worse. Looks like some mechanics were transferred without a thouhght, just "to be there", some just thrown away "just because". I see that community is too good for that "masterpiece". Do not buy. Go play Guild 2
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cool game and all, but its incredibly shallow. you can buy this game, do everything there is to do, and still be within the refund limit. absolutely not worth buying unless it's on sale for 90% off
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not know why this game gets hate. It is a really good game with diverse dynamics. It is very fun. It's like Sims, but medieval and also an economy game while also being a management game with politics and government. It's literally everything I love when it comes to Economy/Management games. It is so good on many different levels. The learning curve is not steep at all. You get the hang of it about 4 hours in then realize how much more you can do shortly after. It's one of my all time…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is some fun here, but it is a hot mess. NPC dynasties are able to not only attack you, but poison your business, burn down your business, etc... with no limits, even when you are just starting the game and unable to do any of these things. If you do take retaliation, you are dragged into court immediately. The economy system leave much to be desired. There are so many things that need to be altered/changed the list is long. Honestly, it makes me wonder if the upcoming Guild game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simply not as good as The Guild II Renaissance Not a bad game If this was the only Guild title that existed, I would recommend it Sadly it is not So I cannot
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If someone reads this in 2025 or 2026. Just play Guild 1 or 2. The only reason to play the guild 3 is, when you played these games in your childhood already.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game looks pretty at first, with much potential to build your own dynasty. However the lack of the most basic functions such as sales ledger, custom worker assignment, que actions while game is paused, que multiple actions, etc, does not exist. Everything quickly becomes VERY tedious (even with only 3 controllable characters). When my friend dc'ed and game doesn't even let me save was the final nail in coffin. This is a very unpolished game that plays like it's in alpha phase and no amount…
