This will be a weird review. Do I over all enjoy clanfolk? Yes. So why the negative review?

Once again the Early Access curse. Updates that aren't really working out.

The expedition update was highly wanted until the tech tree was tied into it. Instead of giving you new items or research that would speed up production, it lumped in already established research into a need to find it on the map. That turn some moderate grind into extreme grind and honestly took the fun away from the game.

Production chains became more complex and boring. Instead of being able to tend to your clan's need you now have to make do with crappy buildings and sack cloth unable to advance until later on when you must find it on the map.

Personally I rather the map give you access to trade or learning where you can send people away to boost their skills. Having a chain for advance work benches or other useful items would be a reason to go explore but the tech should be optional.

So I can't recommend the game as it currently is but my hope is that the devs will make it so you have other reasons to go out on the world map instead of being forced to for other items. Until then, yeah I'm sadden, really enjoyed this game but you can't really even mod out the bad updates.

I love the care with which this game was made, it is so lovely!

the simulation in this game far exceeds The Sims 4. inZoi wishes they were this good.
