Incredibly entertaining and immersive, the graphics style aged very well, the music is enchanting...no wonder this is a genre defining legend! Your typical "How is it 4AM already?" game, my first 14 hours played was in one sitting and I skipped sleep altogether. Wanted to write some more but my village needs me..
This game is digital crack. I thought I was going to bed at a reasonable hour last night only to discover it was already 2:00 am so I just wanted to wrap up what I was doing only to realize it was suddenly 3:00 am. Someone suggest a support group because I'm obviously an addict!
Gameplay: 1. Build a fishing dock 2. Expand Storage 3. Make Gatherers Hut. 4. Winter came 5. All civilians died without houses 6. Start a new game 7. Make the same mistakes 8. Civilians died from starvation. 9. Start a new game 10. Quit the game. Absolutely worth the money if you do the right steps to survive with more than 100 people.
