Clash of Clans struggles to find a balance between keeping legacy players engaged and giving new player a chance to reach that point. The main weakness is the upgrade timers - reaching endgame takes years of upgrades, and by the time you're halfway there another Town Hall level with a years worth of upgrades will have rolled out to keep the already maxed players playing. This makes endgame unobtainable for new players without a very significant money or time investment. As another reviewer pointed out, this 'wait to play' model is unsatisfying and I can't justify spending any more time on this game.
Fun but clunky puzzle-platforming with poorly-presented but essential lore hidden behind it. While I did enjoy this, I wish it was a bit more imaginative in its gameplay (needed to develop more on the base game Desmond segments or do something different) and gave more lore background into Clay and Lucy.
