I thought that I might not like 4X on the console (having only really done the Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdom games) but it is refreshing and easy. I played for several hours on my PS5 and it was pretty smooth sailing. I'll give it an hour or so tonight to see if it clicks, but I'm leaning towards just refunding it. The Paradox launcher tells me that I have no games installed, but then I click on "Age of Wonders 4" in the left menu bar and it asks if I want to start a game. I never would have found them if I hadn't randomly clicked on that unlabeled arrow. Even then, you have to click a random left arrow (that has no pop-up text telling you what it does) that is next to the "Select Faction" button to find the difficulty options. You have select that option from the main screen before you start the game. There's no options to change difficulty in any of the in-game menus. I went looking for the difficulty settings so I could dial it back to Easy while I learned the game. And I think I've leveled up.maybe? My hero is at level 2, but I don't see any options or indicators anywhere that I'm supposed to actively do anything for the level up process. No idea where I actually do that or what menu contains those choices, but apparently it's something I'm supposed to choose. I got a tutorial message about choosing skills from specific skill trees when my hero levels up. I finally clicked on the ground to deselect my hero, and it popped up with a message "Building an outpost here costs X gold". I checked the city menu, the hero menu, and a bunch of other sub-menus and came up empty. For example, I received a quest to "Build an Outpost" but it gave me no indication of where to find the option to do that. Lots of other weird interface and design issues. I picked it up and have had two CTDs in the first 20 minutes of play.
