After a major update, WW1 grand strategy game Kaiserpunk deserves another chance

Kaiserpunk has a lot of ambition. As well as a city-builder and pseudo factory sim, it's also a WWI-inflected grand strategy game, combining the close-up management of Cities Skylines 2 with the world-conquering scale of Crusader Kings and Civ 7. Considering everything that it's trying to pull together, Kaiserpunk already works incredibly well. But it could be better. After a tricky Steam launch and some frank player feedback, developer Overseer has just released a major new update. If you bounced off Kaiserpunk at first, or you're yet to try it out, now may be the time to play.
