Gonna be honest with you. Every time someone praises Manor lords for something innovative I think "But Ostriv already did that..." and every time people say of Manor lords "I wish this was a little more polished" I think to myself "Well... Ostriv already had that system, well polished too!"

Also people who says development is been very slow, dude, now only is the entire game made by a single guy, he also lives in Ukraine, which, as you may recall, is being actively invaded by Russia at the moment, yes, the news seem to have forgotten but I would wager the people who actually lives there is probably still not having the best of times. Lest you can do is at least be understanding.

So if you do not care about Manor lords RTS combat, if you want Vanished but way better and with more polish and care, if you want one of the best medieval city builders ever. Check it out.

The release of Manor Lords just made me appreciate this game even more.
Ostriv is such a polished game and it gives you the most realistic medieval feel out of any other citybuilder out there.
Props to the Ostriv dev. You’re amazing!

One of the best, most in-depth city builders out there. It's slow-paced, to my liking, yet very immersive and you get lots of information about your people and economy. Can recommend it highly!
