I have yet to complete a game, but have really enjoyed it. Definitely still a noob, but learning quickly. Have dabbled with Babylon, Egypt and Rome. I am finding myself addicted. I purchased it at the same time as Humankind and while I gave that a try first, I think I am liking Old World better.
Is Old World any fun?

Just finished my first game, as Egypt. I like it a lot!
It took me playing through a whole game and reading a few posts here to really get to grips with what’s going on. But even in my ignorance it definitely has that one-more-turn factor, even if I was sometimes just doing things without knowing why.
There are a lot of thoughtful design decisions that I’m only beginning to understand. I can’t wait to start up game 2 with a bit more awareness of what’s going on.

It definitely took me a bit to feel comfortable. I was able to win with Rome and Babylonia. (Still seems weird to not say "Babylon.")
I found that it is crucial to race and claim as many city sites as you can, kill any barbs or tribes and steal their land, as well.

This sounds very promising. Time for a laptop purchase

Once you buy the game, feel free to hit us up in the PBEM thread! We have a couple of "Humans vs AI" games going on, I'm sure there's enough interest to pull another together.
