The Guild II Renaissance

Fun game

For new players: The game is janky, rough, and overly ambitious for its time. It was made without many of the QoL features common for modern econ sims, with questionable UI decisions and annoying camera controls, for weak computers built in a bygone era. You will be frustrated, but you will HAVE FUN because it's The Guild II. Did not expect a new dev team to give updates to one of the best games ever made. Congrats on the revival!

Was an excellent game, a little janky (most of my playtime came from discs, well before steam) but the store page and community is just being used for a second time to sell another game that has nothing to do with The Guild 2. They used the community to sell us on Guild 3, which was an absolute scam and now they're using the same community and boards to sell us on a remake of Guild 1; which is a completely different game. I suggest playing Guild 2 if you can get over the dated everything and get it to run, it can be fun for a little while. I don't suggest looking at anything here community related because they're just trying to sell you other unrelated but closely named games.

Switch to the 4.6 Beta, I can't believe they're actually fixing this game. Has a whole session without any issues with 4 people

Mostly in a playable state in 2026. Still clunky and has some bugs, but I still enjoy it for a ~20 hour playthrough every couple of months.

Gruselig für heutige Verhältnisse. Spielgeschwindigkeit, Grafik, Vertonung und vor allem das UI - allein für das Verkaufen von Waren sind bspw. ein Haufen Klicks nötig. Ich weiß nicht, ob das 2010 zeitgemäß war. Für Nostalgiker sicherlich ok. Für allen anderen: keine Kaufempfehlung.
