a este ritmo de victorias seguirá subiendo despacio, aunque estos duelos frente a rivales tan distintos no siempre reflejan bien su nivel real

the management loop is solid but it stops evolving after a certain point and the late game just repeats the same problems

me pasó lo mismo con otro de gestión, tres horas planeando y de repente todo arde, la diferencia es que aquí el caos se siente más tuyo que en otros del género

I think it holds up well as a management game, though I'm not sure the depth is quite there for everyone

no le dediqué tanto tiempo, o mejor dicho, lo jugué a ratos sueltos durante meses

Jouer par sessions éparpillées, ça change tout niveau ressenti, moi j'ai décroché faute de continuité.

no soy nada objetiva con este juego, lo admito, pero para mí ninguna simulación de gestión le llega ni a los tobillos

Not being objective is fine, but it doesn't really tell us if 14th is deserved or not.

comparado con otros de estrategia del ranking, este se siente más personal en sus decisiones
