Quite nice and relaxing. Less challenging than what I’m used to but challenging enough to allow for a single run through. Get it on discount if you can.
Best things about the game is the resource management. Little to no bugs. More realistic when it comes to how a village is built. You don’t need to micro manage everything. I love this idea that the villagers build their own houses. U only have to designate the housing area, hunting, wood chupping. It has its fun humor as well. The Freedom to custom make buildings such as your mansion and churches is also great. Trade is smooth as well.

My favorite city builder.

Easy and expressive, perfect for keeping my hands busy while listening to podcasts or audiobooks and still feeling like I got a satisfying gaming session. Nothing bad will happen if you get distracted and leave the game running without interacting. Features a lot of mechanics from Banished-derived games but with basically no way to lose, just a few ways to poorly manage your resources. The only issue I've really got is the "natural" roads because instead of creating a complex European style gridless city, very quickly you'll notice an inescapable hexagonal pattern. It's lovely how much of this game is gridless, but I'd rather be able to design my own curved roads than the "natural" prescribed hexagonal pattern.
