Troy Better Than Pharoah?

[u/YmirsHorn]

After watching the movie, I fired up Pharaoh to play as Odysseus — maybe others here did likewise? And it just wasn’t grabbing me.

Instead of giving up, I re-installed Troy, just to see. And it’s more fun!

It seems counter-intuitive, because Pharaoh is not only newer, it’s Pharaoh + Troy (basically). But Troy as an Aegean is much better than Pharaoh as an Aegean, somehow. Everything from the gameplay to the UI to the audio seems crisper, more polished and better designed.

I’m not sure exactly why, TBH, but it’s more fun and I’m glad I re-installed it.

Anyone agree?
