Feels like a mash-up of 'Islanders' and 'Slay the spire', only negative so far is the tutorial drags on just a little.

There's no real steam option for "It's kind of mid but still a nice way to kill a couple of hours," so here we are. I've been working on unlocks and still can't get the damn Valkyire's achievements, so I guess I'm pretty softlocked out of the story-- which is mostly okay, because to be frank it's a vegetarian sandwich -- no meat to it. Which if you're into light fare, great! It's for you. The loops are mostly satisfying but grow repetitive quickly. You can get a sense of progression and I enjoyed optimizing every bit of space on the Holt for maximum bonus from my reward housing and buildings. But over all, it just seems like you hit a plateau and then there's... nothing new except grinding for specific achieves to progress the story. Which is boring. So, if it's on sale and you know it's flaws, totally buy it. Like I said, it's enjoyable when you have a couple of hours to kill, but don't get real deeply invested, there's not a lot of payout here.

It's fine. The framework they built for the game is great, but there's just a low number of cards, the unlocks are not great, levels are very samey, so while a lot of fun at first it gets stale fast. Probably buy it on sale.

"Roots of Yggdrasil" is a game from which I couldn't figure out what it is at first play. And my first impression didn't a bit (!) reflect the game I experienced when trying it for the first time. Lucky I did! Because it is a fresh, innovative approach to deckbuilding/city construction puzzle with nice details that keep you playing. In the game, you travel from island to island, building and exploring, adventuring, and overcoming threats (not combat - if you like to move your armies around, you are definitely at the wrong game). All that happens with cards, that allow you to place buildings of so many kind at a tight space - and indeed, the correct place to build something, is one of the main tasks you have to learn in "Yggdrasil". All that comes with great graphics that allow you that kind of zoom to explore, like, how a sturdy housing looks, and so on. I want to add an important detail, and that is "accessability" - me, needing a more big-sized UI and clearly to read contrasts, had a great time being able to read all texts even on the cards (which is rare in case of deckbuilders). Highly liked the experience!

This game is charming and the gameplay loop is so much fun. If you want a chill city builder with an excellent theme, you cannot do better than this game.
