Critique a Video Game Campaign Playthrough for Missed Strategic Opportunities
The campaign is not going badly, but you can feel that earlier decisions are catching up with you. This critiques the playthrough for strategic patterns: the decision that constrained your options most, the thing you under-invested in, the moment where a different choice would have given you more flexibility, and what you are actually doing well. Describe the major decisions and the current situation.

2. A resource, technology, or relationship that was under-invested in relative to its strategic value
3. One moment where a different choice would have created significantly more strategic flexibility
4. The strongest aspect of the playthrough and why it worked
