๐ŸŸฉ Join me for another dive into the Steam library abyss as I tackle AI War 2, a space strategy game that promises epic galactic warfare but delivers tutorial hell instead. In this first two hours episode, I explore whether this complex RTS can hook new players or if it drowns them in overwhelming systems.

What I Discovered: โ€ข Tutorial system that feels like reading a technical manual โ€ข Incredibly deep strategy mechanics once you understand them โ€ข "Basic" difficulty that's anything but basic for newcomers โ€ข Fantastic fleet management buried under poor accessibility โ€ข Music that sounds like elevator jazz instead of epic space battles

The Bottom Line: AI War 2 has the bones of a fantastic strategy game, but the learning curve is practically a cliff face. Great for RTS veterans who don't mind wrestling with poorly explained systems, frustrating for everyone else.

๐ŸŽฎ Game Info: AI War 2 by Arcen Games Available on Steam Genre: Real-time Strategy, Space Combat
