You can blow up enemies with explosives made from your own poop.

This is like the game Inside, but it's outside instead.

This is honestly one of the best AND most influential games ever made. The depth of the history, world building, simulation and things to do is truly something else. So yes, I recommend this game.

Great game, but there's an awful lack of vampires and survival.

Saw a dead body, so I reported it. After that, an impostor killed me. The voting round began with me as the reporter. The crewmates questioned me for information but I couldn't reply, being dead. Thus I was promtly voted out and my corpse was ejected. The next round began and my dead body was back in the canteen and was reported right away.

10/10

This is how you do a remaster!

A short, buggy mess. The only reason my playtime is over 2 hours is because my safegame got corrupted. EA game that has been long abandoned.

Before this game, I never bothered with farming games. So I can't compare it with Harvest Moon or other games in the genre. This also means that this game was a fresh experience for me. And that is kind of rare nowadays.

There are a lot of games with retro graphics nowadays. Way too many, in fact. But this game makes it work. The graphics, design and music are great and have lots of charm. There is a lot to do, explore, buy, customize and collect. Plenty of content, so I definitely feel like this game is worth the money even at full price. And on top of that, the game gets big, free updates adding a lot of new things and improving the old stuff. Sadly, a few annoying nerfing too but oh well.

It is just a fun, relaxing game to play after a tiresome and stressful day. And sometimes that is all you need.

Edit: And now you can play this in multiplayer! Nice.

Edit again: Still getting big updates! Sweet.

Edit some more: The updates just keep coming!

You may struggle to win your battles at first, but when you get used to using the different strategies and when you understand how morale works, it isn't too hard. Winning battles in this game is very satisfying, especially when starting with a disadvantage. Diplomats, spies and assassins can make the war a lot easier, as well as having a good economy and good leaders.

When you finally take over the world, you can mess around with the custom and historical battles. Or you can continue the campaign until you control every region on the map. Either way, there is plenty of content in this game to keep you busy.
