Something Somewhere Somehow ,

Needs bugs fixed

I really want to give this app five stars because Power Grid is one of the best board games out there. However, there’s alot of bugs that need to be worked out.

First and foremost, you can’t resume a saved local game. Like at all. The option just isn’t there. So you have to play all the way through or forget about it.

Same with editing your local profile. Whatever name you choose at first creation you’re stick with.

It’ll crash randomly on starting a game sometimes, but that’s not the end of the world

Of course, there’s alot more maps that need to be included but I’m sure that will come down the road. I hope.

The interface is a bit unintuitive to start but I got used to it after a while.

So overall, a decent app with great source material that needs to get the bugs ironed out.

Just a tease ,

Superlatively disappointing

I have hundreds of board games, and have loved this game in print for years. Waiting for this utter disappointment is confusing. I hope it updates to something coming close to playable, but since they already have my money, I doubt this will happen.

Non-intuitive interface, lack of guidance on how to use the app (let alone a useful tutorial on the game itself), and middling graphics … well, at least it’s expensive.

I look forward to being able to upgrade this score, but am not optimistic. This could be a stellar title, though … the source material is excellent!

It works! But…

I’ve been looking forward to a digital port of Power Grid for years, and I was momentarily excited at the news that one had been developed, only to discover that it was rated an average of one star from four reviews. But since the developers had apparently fixed a lot of the initial issues with a patch, I thought I’d take a chance and see how it plays now.

The good news is, the game is actually playable now. Whatever crashing issues and bugs the others experienced have indeed been resolved. And the AI seems to be pretty strong so far.

However, I’m not a fan of the “windows” system they’ve created for all the tables and control panels; the screen gets cluttered easily; sometimes there’s no logic to when certain windows open; and it really would be much easier if a window could be dismissed by a simple “X” in the corner rather having to cram it back into the bottom corner.

There’s only a tutorial to teach you the unnecessarily complicated UI, not for actual gameplay. A proper tutorial would be nice for those new to the game. I was only able to figure it out quickly because I’ve played this board game for years.

Also, are there supposed to be music and sound effects during the game? There’s music in the main menu but deadly silence throughout the game.

So, it works now, and it plays fine, but the interface is rather irritating.
