Reigns is pretty fun the first time around and it has a lot of nostalgia for me from when I used to play the app version. But after the first play through, it is a SLOG to get through, having to go over the same scenarios time and time again. Still a good game if you want to relax and just swipe left or right.

Quite a lot of depth for a simple game. Multiple endings, each of which is interesting in its own way. Only negative is when the RNG doesn't go your way: sometimes I just want to follow the damn dog ...

I wish there was a way to give Reigns a "mixed" recommendation, since I really did enjoy most of my time, and it's at a fantastic price-point for how much game you get... but I really wish I hadn't decided to play it all the way through. It really is a charming little casual rogue-lite, with lots of personality, and an addictive but super simple game play loop. It can also be played in very short bursts, which is a plus, and it's very funny at times. While there is a puzzle related to the main quest that is poorly thought out, that's not a deal-breaker. So, why wouldn't this be a strong recommendation? The end game. The last stretch of the game massively undermined my enjoyment of the first few hours, and might ruin it completely for others. I have two major complaints: 1) I had to wait ~400 turns/years to trigger the last quest after fulfilling all of the prerequisite objectives. I eventually ended up just clicking through events without considering the impact because I had already seen them dozens of times, and there was nothing left to accomplish other than beating the game. The "narrative" reason for the finale only happening on specific dates isn't compelling enough to make you wait for several hundred turns. The final quest should trigger shortly after the win condition has been satisfied. 2) I was unable to complete the last quest once it finally started, due to the fact that cards/events show up based on RNG. Maybe I ran into a bug but, without revealing the details, there is a specific choice you need to make to "beat" the game. There is also a time limit before you automatically fail. I assumed that the game would give me an opportunity to complete this objective at least once within that time-limit. It did not. So I spent about 25% of the in-game timeline just waiting to beat the game, when that wasn't possible. That definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. If the game had more replay value I'd start a new save, but I've already seen 99% of what the game has to offer, most of it many times over. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. I still may check out the other games this franchise has to offer. Hopefully they've improved upon the original. TLDR: Reigns is a wonderful little game in its early stages, but probably not worth playing a second time. I was disappointed that one or two poor (and easily addressed) design choices ruined the end-game, the final couple of hours negated most of the fun I had up to that point. However, Reigns still provided me with a few hours of entertainment, at a very low price. That is why I still chose to "recommend" it... but just barely.

If you enjoy easy to play games and don't mind that this game is really short then this seems fine. It was nice playing through a few times. I'm sure its boring if you wanted to try completing this game though.
