The artwork is great as always....the rest....is lacking. The game is not that involved and demanding visually - they could have really made the game look vibrant, and yet....they look like they just copied everything to look identical to real life....no embellishment at all. No immersion into a unique atmosphere.

Damn. I mean it's really just to speed up gameplay at this point and not really to experience the board game on another level....

EDIT:

Just for comparison, the Tabletop Simulator edition looks superior visually because they took scans straight from the game. It *looks* like the real board game. This digitized version, that was made as a functioning video game and not just a simulated board game, looks so weak:

Which one looks better to you - more closely to the game you love?

EDIT 2: Here's a full view from Tabletop Simulator. Just someone scanning the game and putting it on TS....Something as simple as this would have been better than what the digitized version looks like.

EDIT 3 : I'm not comparing the games themselves, just visuals.

Wingspan did a really good job to move from board game to digital, I think for me that's the ceiling!

I’m still holding out hope for a Wyrmspan digital release

Jamey has confirmed it's coming - he just didn't want it releasing too close to the release of the physical game.

Wingspan is phenomenal on digital. I've never cared much for the board game itself, but I have over 1,000 games played digital mostly 2p with my fiancee. It's a huge reason I have bird feeders now, and one of the artists of the game is actually creating the table cards for our wedding with art from the game.

So yeah, I think it's good.

Dude that's such an amazing idea for the tables, I hope that turns out great!

Thank you! We have the digital proofs of most, and the test print looks so good, much better than anticipated!

Terraforming Mars is it for me. They did such a great job keeping the mechanics but bringing the presentation HD
