Personally I have the 8 Pro and I’m constantly impressed with how good the battery life is. I can go two days without a charge, something that my older pixels would fail at. It’s also held up much better – im assuming due to the charging changes they’ve implemented in recent versions of Android
Bought it and have played 10-15h or so. The game definitely needs something to add some staying power. It’s way too chill. I know there’s a subset of people that want that and they could still continue to offer it (like Dyson Sphere Program adding optional combat). Something to make you have to work for it other than the really non-issue of citizens being very briefly injured while picking if you don’t pay attention.
It is beautiful however. Graphics and UI are both very well done.
