June 2025
Farthest Frontier — 46.3 h played Score: 7 / 10 (Recommended for colony-sim fans) A medieval survival city-builder that marries Banished-style scarcity with Anno-grade production chains. Clearing a forest, laying out crop rotations, and fending off raider waves feels rewarding, though late-game optimization and interface friction keep it shy of genre greatness. WHY IT’S WORTH SETTLING • **Survival first, aesthetics second** — Harsh winters, crop diseases, and predator attacks make every loaf of bread feel earned; expansion is a careful dance rather than a resource spam. • **Deep production web** — Grain ➜ Flour ➜ Bread, Logs ➜ Planks ➜ Furniture, Iron ➜ Tools ➜ Advanced Industry—each tier slots neatly into the next, scratching the “supply-chain” itch without Anno’s complexity. • **Dynamic farming** — Crop rotations, soil fertility, rockiness, and weed levels mean fields are living systems; mastering clover/fallow cycles is key to population booms. • **Tactile visual feedback** — Log piles shrink, fence posts rot, villagers haul visibly stacked crates—small touches that sell the frontier theme. • **Gradual hostility ramp** — Early wolves give way to large raider parties with siege rams; investing in palisades, towers, and barracks feels meaningful, not decorative. WHERE THE FRONTIER FRAYS • **UI friction** — Settlers don’t always obey work-area tweaks; toggling production limits or hunting zones requires more clicks than it should. • **Performance drops** — Towns over 300 villagers dip below 30 FPS on busy trade days (Core i7-11700K / RTX 3090, 1440p “High”). • **Repetitive raids** — Enemy AI cycles predictable paths; once you perfect wall mazes, defense becomes routine. • **Limited late-game goals** — After Tier 4 Town Center and full luxury chains, motivation shifts to self-imposed challenges rather than new tech tiers. • **Pathfinding quirks** — Ox carts occasionally jam at gates, and hunters take scenic routes unless micromanaged. FINAL VERDICT If you crave a Banished-style settlement slog with deeper crop science and satisfying production chains—and you don’t mind some mid-beta rough edges—Farthest Frontier delivers a compelling frontier fantasy. Sharpen your scythes, rotate those carrots, and be ready to pause when the raiders roll in.

A good successor to Banished, especially now that people disinterested in raiders can turn them off independent of turning off hostile animals, since I'm more often ok with the latter in a game, even when not in the mood at all for army combat. The crop rotation system is nicely robust, and the industry chain is satisfying. It's a game that feels less about sprawling across the map, compared to upgrading the environment around house so the houses themselves get upgraded to higher population capacity, many of the non residential buildings upgrade as well, based on availability of resources or population, rather than relying on building more individual structures for every bump up in production. The graphics are quite nice, and on my somewhat middle-of-the-road gaming computer, I don't have performance issues, even having bumped population cap up to 1000. Maybe not my absolute favorite city builder/resource management game I've been watching and playing for the past few years, but it's definitely up there and I feel it was worth the purchase as I keep it in my game rotation.

Reviewed at version 0.9.6c. Love this game. It feels complete at this point, I have very few complaints. The hard mode feels appropriately like actually trying to feed a village in untamed wilds. The level of complexity is deep, but it's approachable rather than overwhelming. I love the way they handle crop rotation and trade. It feels slow unless you play it on max speed, but then it's fine. This is a 9.5/10 for me. My only gripe is I would like more variable map terrain. Water bodies and mountains are generally round, no rivers. I would love rivers and bridges to break it up and make me adjust my village layout more. I would also really like sliders in random map generation to force more mountains or lakes. I like the random maps, but I find myself rerolling several times so that I don't just get a large landmass without variation. Hopefully more map variety is coming. If it never does, it's still an excellent game.

Visuals 8/10 Sound 9/10 Controls 8/10 Story 2/10 Gameplay 9/10 Best feature: Scamming one trader with the other one Worst feature: Non existence of other villages Replayability: Yes Multiplayer: No Price:6/10 for theoretical 12€ on other unknown websites 9/10 Game definetly needs a little more work or even a little campaign to freshen it up, but since the devs so far have not given up this game and are updating it, it might reach a point where it justifies the price as well

Pretty great colony sim. Has come a long way. Does it do much different? Not really, but its not super complex and I like that about it. Its very much play at your own pace with great game design compared to the over cluttered other colony sims. Relaxing game to play.
