    This was definitely one of my best buys on Steam – but it’s such a disappointment that the Steam Workshop mods don’t work with it (Yes, you can do a hack to get the mod menu, but you have to download on a Windows machine for them to subscribe properly and copy files over). Also it can be a little slow on the 2011 MBA if you zoom out too far – but these are minor issues overall – it’s still an excellent game.
