Few downsides like some dodgy animations and campaign being on the shorter side (6missions). Most time spent will be refining towns in freeplay mode. Maps are a little on the small side, perhaps not progressed enough. Presented well overall with a clean functional UI and soundtrack I didn't feel like muting. Plays a bit like banished crossed with settlers. Feel the price is about right due to current content and lack of multiplayer but if you're tight on funds and buying for missions, it may be worth waiting. Runs on unity so performance is decent, only scales to 1080p (firstworldproblems). Toggles for dof/AA/AF/AO and the standard low-fantastic options, see no reason why it won't run on low spec systems. Might update my thoughts after more game time, we'll see.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDL76ZTvJrchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTvtWMDqJRc. Update April 3rd:All of the bugs I mentioned in the original review were patched this week. I played the same map and got a bit further along and glad to see the progress so soon. I'll leave the original post to leave for display of the progression VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVWell I skipped to free play because the story was too much reading. Built town hall. Built fishing dock. Built forester hut. Built stone quarry. Built warehouse. Built farm and field with veggies. Built barn and bought 6 chickens and 4 pigs. Bunch of baby making and children. 2 villagers die of natural causes. Animals kill one. Raiders steal me stone.Farm produces 200 veggies....FARMERS NEVER HARVEST.Food is at 10.Fisherman dies. I dont see this right away, and food goes to 3. Hovers there. A field full of fresh veggies and the farmers wont pick them. Warehouse guy doesn't do anything but pick up logs. Families die, and the homeless families never move into the empty houses.They just chill at the townhall and hate life. Overall I rate this at 4/10 EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING out of WTF.Artwork is good in the game... Thats about it. I enjoyed the game for about 10 minutes, the rest of the time Im bugging out about all the bugs. Its a new game, thats cool... just hit steam... just got outta beta. But I just paid 16 bucks and I got bored and frustrated after 10 minutes. I don't recommend it yet... maybe I'll change that after some updates. Banished is a better buy at 20 bucks if you havent tried it.. This game was fairly interesting. I tried out the storyline and followed through the first chapter out of curiousity. The game plays just like any other building simulator out there however I do have to give credit to how amazing the artstyle is in this game which is probably what kept me around the longest. I found myself personally not caring much for the story since some of the scenes can get very long winded but overall I still enjoyed the game a lot.I did a lets play of chapter one if anyone is curious:https://youtu.be/RmGKGLZpJSo. Final episode of the campaign:-Focused on building for the tasks,-Forgot to build a fishing jetty-Everyone died except for one family.-Began building a village from incest.. Crashes constantly in freeplay mode. If it weren't for that this would be a good game. Go with banished instead... for real.
