Very enjoyable and relaxing game about being a builder in a small and rural town and slowly but steadily transforming it to a center of trade while getting to know the interesting inhabitants of the town. Resource gathering can get a bit tedious and repetetive but the beautiful and bright graphics, relaxing atmosphere and interesting residents more than make up for it. Music is another highlight that fits well with the vibe of the game. Highly recommended for players who enjoy this type of games.

A beautiful setting, a dark foreboding atmosphere and some excellent writting are wasted on an extremely slow paced and very unforgiving game in terms of finding money and advancing the plot. The exploration element is boring as you mostly travel a dark and very empty sea with very few points of interest.

A typical "free" to play MMO like so many others with a very thin coat of paint of Game of Thrones. Still buggy and problematic and very pay to win. Not worth it in its current state.

Another game where i wished that Steam had a neutral option. The game is quite fun, especially at first, with the challenge of designing and creating a great house that fits your tenants being interesting and novel as a concept. The design phase is certainly the highlight of the game and there's a decently large number of furniture and appliances to place in your homes. Unfortunately, the game does have a lot of issues and can quickly become repetetive while the charm of running your own business and knowing your tenants personally is quickly lost when you start acquiring more and more houses and proceed to the next area of the city. Finally, the so called elite contracts are interesting but having to repeat them multiple times (the same goes with the regular contracts as well) can quickly become boring. In the end, i will give the game a positive recommendation because it was fun and interesting for a few hours and i loved its novel concept but it could have been a lot better.

Ps. The fact that every citizen in this city appears to be single and there are no couples or families to rent your larger houses is ludicrous.

I suppose this game was quite good when it first came out but for 2025 it's definitely not as good as some reviewers claim. This is a clunky, unenjoyable and slow game with a very generic story and a myriad of unimportant side quests that the game does not deem it important enough to use a quest marker to help you find them. Special mention needs to be made to the absolutely horrible rock-paper-scissors game that the game uses to solve disagreements between your two main characters which is a very stupid and arbitrary way to resolve differences of opinion.

Slow moving, boring, tedious and repetetive. It's more of a remaster of the first game than a truly original sequel.

Unrealistic and ugly graphics, an abysmal english translation that's clearly been made by amateurs (or an A.I) and a horrible main story makes this game a total waste of time and money. Don't buy this under any circumstance.

A mediocre and tiresome main story, a plethora of bland and generic characters that look the same and act the same, a lot of stupid game mechanics that are there just to annoy you and a bunch of repetetive battles against the same generic enemies makes me regret the time i spend playing this awful game.

I was playing as the United Kingdom and my popularity suddenly went from 79% to 4% in the space of one single turn. This game works perfectly and has no problems or bugs whatsoever.

Apart from that "minor" issue, every country plays more or less the same without any special flavour. There's no senate or house when you play as the US or any local elections when you play as other countries.

The game will get boring and repetetive very fast.

While i did not enjoy the gameplay mechanics (too many annoying things to take care of during the shows) i must admit that the main story was excellent with its great combination of humor and serious politics. The FMV's were very well acted (some of them were a bit cringy but most of them were very good). Play the game for the story, it's really worth it.

Ps. (SPOILER)

I personally consider the monologue that the teenage girl (Stacey) gives at the end of the segment called Sterility an extremely powerful moment that symbolizes how easily a murderous dictatorship can genuinely become popular among the "common" people if they think they were helped by its policies.
