My pal got me to play this, as it's free, i've never played the first game, but i've known about generally, that it's sort of a TF2ish thing mixed with WoW design elements.
I'm enjoying the gameplay, it's fun enough, but jesus christ, i think this is the worst battle pass / monetization i think i've ever seen. Makes Fortnite look progressive.

As much as i agree that the quality of the games themselves are mixed to say the least, i still appreciated the high quality of the collection itself, lots of extra content, and generally value for money.
I think there's value in making collections like this, and re-releasing old games, even the less good ones. Just for preservation's sakes.

My dad owned this for the Amiga 500, and me and my brother played it growing up.
Probably my first encounter with what could be described as a horror game. The soundtrack is genuinely un-nerving, and the encounters with the giant ants were really frightening at the time, especially for how old i was.

Cursed by it's release date, this came out around the same time warcraft 3 did.
It's an extremely cool RTS, with lots of unique gameplay elements like training up your villagers into various units, growing rice and having to water it, drawing water supplies from rivers, pools and wells, capturing wild horses and being able to mount any unit as cavalry. All with a east asian fantasy flair.

A complete mess. Another bloated, expensive Gen 7 pile of wank. So much money spent just so i can hear John Cleese try to sell me Black hair DLC.
The game is laughably easy, combat pretty much just boils down to pressing one button, with loads of slow-mo kill cam bollocks.
Main villain just kind of pops up out of nowhere, and the final boss is just a sword fight much like every other fight in the game.
The ruling as king section flies by in like 10 minutes or something. And so much of your moral choices boil down to comically stupid things like WILL YOU BURN DOWN THE ORPHANAGE or GIVE PUPPIES TO THE DYING, and ultimately it just comes down to you pressing one button or the other.
The game kinda looks ugly too, so much bloom and light shafts and this weird brown filter over everything. And that stupid god damn sparkly light that tells you where to go that keeps breaking all the time.
Not to mention the worst in game menu ever devised.

A weird, but not bad Age of Empires type RTS where for some reason, the English play very similarly to the Undead in Warcraft 3, namely they have self building structures that they summon from the ground? England basically is a strange netherworld so why not.
More weird stuff includes China crossing into the modern era, and randomly becoming Russia or the UK?
Honestly not that bad though.
