As I just hit my 500th hour in this game, I figured I'd add this here. I love this game. I love how much the dev's are invested in making the game better. It's one of those games for me where I think to myself I'll log off just as soon as this (x) happens, but then in the meantime three other things pop up and I'm like hold up let me just get these done and then I'll log off I swear.....three hours later and I still haven't done it.
IRL I am married with four kids. Did the same in Norland. My firstborn had a mental breakdown in the game, did the same in real life. However, in Norland I can bring my first born to the scaffold and execute him in front of the other children so they will behave. I cannot do that IRL....10/10!
Do you like RimWorld? Do you like Crusader Kings? Do you like Anno? Then this game is definitely for you. This game genuinely wrote a great story for my very first run. Here are some of the highlights: My eldest son had a bastard with an alcoholic warrior lady. I also had a mentally challenged son from my first marriage, and a mediocre son from my second marriage. Somehow, that bastard daughter grew up to become the smartest lady in my city. After my first Lord grew old and senile, his wife (my current ruler's mother) wanted to seize the crown. She loved her husband dearly until he died at age 69, but then immediately proceeded to bang the Bishop and try to coerce the crown from me. The only thing that saved me was her also becoming senile at age 72. It didn't really matter anyway, since I died a year later hunting a Fleshwolf. My second wife started a conquest across the lands. She captured a ton of territory and even personally beheaded my ex-wife, who was the Lady of Noth. I (now playing as the Lady of Grono) married the bastard daughter off to a free Lord, just so I could bang the Bishop myself and not have to contend with my former husband's bastard. I got the blessing of the Church and declared myself Empress, then waited for the Inquisition to show up. When they did, I kicked them right back to where they came from and stole the Matriarch's throne. There were so many other cool things happening, and a ton of emergent storytelling. I warmly recommend this game to anybody.
TLDR - 7/10 very fun early access game. It loses points for early access and needing more content, but there's great gameplay, super entertaining stories unfold, combat is super fun to watch and can get pretty intense at times. I'm definitely gonna get 100+ hours out of it. This game plays like a combination of the sims & crusader kings (the gameplay is nothing like Rimworld, just has a similar art style). You basically play like a Director, with complete control over settlement design, but partial control over your main characters (Lords). Your Lords have their own will, though they will mostly do what you tell them to. However, if you don't give them direction, they will carry out that will on their own. This leads to a lot of unique and often times hilarious twists and turns in your story. EVEN IF you control 99% of their lives, they may still (secretly) have some ambitions in mind that you wont find out until after you unintentionally bring them closer to it. For example: I started a run with 2 brothers. The older brother (the King) was a fat, well-mannered Scholar who ruled silently from his library, focusing on trade and his studies. The villagers liked him, but he was hardly ever seen. The younger brother was a reckless warrior, who was nothing more than just "The King's Brother." He started off leading the militia against bandits, and before long, would go to lead the entire army against neighboring rulers. Battle after battle, he would lead from the front lines, growing more famous with every battle. Eventually the soldiers in the army (which made up about 30% of the town's population) were more loyal to the him than to the King himself. Every time he'd return from battle, he'd garner more supporters, to the point where the people propped him up as a challenger to the actual King. The King became jealous of his younger brother's success, but did nothing to stop him out of love for his brother. That was until the younger brother's ambitions changed. Neighboring rulers took notice of the younger brother's rising power, and started using him to get their way politically. The younger brother, like a politician, started taking bribes from these neighboring lords, and leveraged his power to force the King to make changes which benefited his donors... decisions which were often not in the best interest of the town. Eventually, all this corruption came to a head, when the younger brother challenged his older brother for the crown. The King, being kind, and rather old, simply handed the crown over to his younger brother. And im just sitting there watching all this ♥♥♥♥ unfold like :O
