With Panzer Corps 2, while I have no doubt DLC is on the way, the initial experience is quite beefy. They might also be concerned about the expectation of buying a lot of the same DLC all over again. Often, when a sequel to a game with a lot of DLC comes out, users find themselves feeling like the sequel is quite anemic in terms of content compared to the fleshed out previous game. I could go on, but you get the idea, this is a visually appealing game whether we are talking mainstream or wargames. The developers clearly were proud of the models, as you can zoom in as close as you like to check them out. The unit models all look great, being realistic enough, but with just a touch of style to smooth the edges, matching the look of the trees and mountains around them. The colors really pop off the screen, with a perfect level of contrast and lighting that makes pretty much everywhere you fight look beautiful, be it green forests or arid deserts.

The entire package, from the menus, the unit models, the UI, the new strategic view, and most especially the map itself, looks sleek and polished. Panzer Corps 2 has got style in spades, even compared to many mainstream games. Not just on the technical side of things, but in terms of pure style.

With Panzer Corps 2 I think they can confidently say that they finally have a truly great looking game to show off. Caught somewhere between trying to appeal to the wargaming crowd and the mass market, the publisher has put out many games over the years that were 'just okay' when it came to visuals. Right off the bat, Panzer Corps 2 is visually the prettiest thing Slitherine has ever released.
