  Ok lets be real here. If you already know how to play Catan, what do you expect me to say? Needs balancing? It's Catan. With AI opponents or Online Multiplayer. In VR. If you don't know how to play the board game I highly recommend you look up a video (There are a ton) on how to play the game, and watch a group play a game or two to figure out if this is for you. In my opinion the game is not for everyone. It can be slow at times but it is meant to be. A true grab a drink and chill while yelling about dice rolls and peoples lack of trading what you need because you forgot to place a settlement near goddamn sheep. I only play with AI because I don't have friends who play or even like Catan. I own the board in real life but my family refuses to play with me, so I play this sad and alone. Even the AI refuses to trade with me when I need it most... Truly one of my favorite VR experiences so far. Good reminder of what fun times I COULD have with friends and family! 8/10

  Catan! very crispy and clear. I bumped up my graphics settings and I can read everything without experiencing a performance hit on my Vive pro. Well optimized, excellent sound effects, crisp graphics.

  As a person who has never played Settlers of Catan before, this was a great way to play my first game of it. Graphics and controls were well presented. I do wish that the reference table with the different structures you can build would highlight the structures that you have the resources to build. This would make things a lot easier for newer players who aren't so familiar with the resource requirements. Otherwise, other than a few minor bugs I've noticed I have no complaints.

  Very well done! I'm a big fan of Catan, but playing it in real life is hard because of all the set-up and clean-up. This game solves that nicely, and speeds up gameplay significantly. I like all the customizable options too. Great fun! Please add Seafarers expansion as DLC.

  Do not be put off with any notion you might have in regard to board games of this type being beyond your comprehension. Before playing Catan for the first time, or any complex board game beyond a standard game of monopoly, i put myself firmly in that bracket of fear. The tutorial goes too quickly for the first timer, so your best off glancing over the basics and firing up a game against the AI. It's extremly easy to figure out what's happening as you go along, then going back to the tutorial to to see what all those development cards were doing, the way resources double up, multiple in relation to roads and settlements, champion points, longest roads, ports, knights... Don't get me wrong, i'm sure there's experienced players looking at my simplistic view of the game thinking there's far more to it. Either way if a luddite like myself can grasp it within the hour, there's nothing to fear. Recommended for the board game newbs.

  Honestly, this games good. You have good visuals, good tracking and an easy way to control your trades as well as whats on the board. If you're playing with friends, this game is a blast and one of the best ways to play catan. That is, if you're only interested in the base version of catan and its streamlined. But honestly the big problem with this game is that there is no playerbase. There is no option to play the game without a VR headset even though the option would increase player numbers. The amount of my friends that actually own VR is about 5 to 10 percent. Id recommend this game if it changed somehow, and got a larger playerbase. But in the meantime, I think I would recommend table top simulator and playing that, especially since you have base catan, as well as all the expansions, and you can play with your friends that dont have VR as well. The only thing you lose out on is the streamlined experience and user interface. Edit: Since you dont understand what im trying to say, is that because there is no option for non vr players to play, it will have limited success and population in comparison to a game such as table top simulator :)

  Love the game. its fun, smooth, and simple to play. my one BIG con (and single most frustrating thing) about it tho is when you play vs the AI. If the AI has numbers that you are not on ,ie if you have # 3 4 5 6 with towns on them but dont have any on 8 9 and 10, the AI will have full rounds where its only 8 9 and 10 are rolled. i get it if it happens one full cycle around the board but when its muliple in a row if makes me wonder if the dice are being truly randomized. lastly the AI WILL PICK ON YOU with the robber. i have had games where the robber was dropped on my tiles 6 times in a row and i lost cards every time. This happens even when im losing by a lot. i feel that the developer needs to address this and make everything an even playing ground. other than that this game is great and fun to play with friends

  Advertised as cross-platform, but you can not invite your friends from another platform. Don't expect to play this with your friends that are using a different platform. It's only cross-platform on random matchmaking. Bad marketing.

  I bought this because it advertised cross-play, but as of right now there is no way for me to join my Quest friends with my Vive. I really hope this gets sorted out soon.
