Hive is fantastic and this Steam version is great for beginners or intermediates that want a nice interface and fast games with a variable AI up to intermediate level. I just got to 50-21 record against the top AI and I consider myself around intermediate, heading to advanced level in the game. I have really enjoyed my time with this computer, but I think I am just about ready to move on to human players or stronger AI on Hivegame.com.
The other thing to mention is that this platform does not really have an online community. The best is too use Hivegame.com or Boardgamearena.com if you want to play a good variety of human players and have the option to review your games afterward.
Hive is a glorious game that I have been playing since it launched over 20 years ago. If you want to really fall into love with this amazing game, Steam is a great place to start, but also I would highly recommend buying a set and playing with a friend in real life. You can take it anywhere and it is a blast! I played 100+ games last summer with my girlfriend in cafes around the city. It is an amazing game and you will love it, but Steam is just one of the early stages, but well worth it in my opinion. There are a couple great books on the topic ("The Canon of Hive: Groundwork" or "Play Hive Like a Champion"), as well as two free great online platforms, Hivegame.com or Boardgamearena.com.
Enjoy the swarm!!!
