I want to give this about a 6/10, so if it's a recommend/not recommend type of situation, I'll recommend it. I'm a casual gamer and this has just become a little too much complexity to stop being fun for me. There is *a lot* to manage. I'd say it's very close to the feel of Banished, if you've ever played that, but I think this is game is slightly better. I'd say I usually play until *just* when I get to mid game. Games that become too complex become unfun for me at this stage and so I stop playing, but I can see I've probably only played through 25% of this game. I'd give any other game of this genre and complexity a 5/10, but both the rough poly ui and the controls to play (pretty intuitive) add an extra point. I think I bought this on sale, but I normally would not pay for a game like this for regular price. It's not really my niche, but I like to dip my toes in, get my feet wet every once in awhile. This is a game that I can come back to though, should I ever feel the itch again. However, it reinforces my ideas about this genre and the ideas of what fun is for a game like this. My suggestion would be a better tutorial mode where it basically just tells you the optimal building and the placement to teach you about the game, *while in the game*. I think it's really easy to be overcome by disease or broken bones or whatever that you essentially start over with like 2 citizens and you're just holding out until immigrants can come to boost your population again. That isn't fun for me and when it keeps happening each game (despite different build priorities or different settlement spots), I have to then go outside the game to learn about the game and how to play it. I don't want to continue to keep building settlements which keep failing at "stage 4" when there are "100 stages" (analogy). Show me how it's intended to be played, why the choice to pick that building and why it's being placed where it's being placed. I don't know if a system like that can exist, but it would make the game more accessible, I think. TL;DR: it's a little too complex after a certain point which causes the game to be unfun *for me*. 6/10

Great game, I'm a previous Banished player and was trying to scratch that itch, this does that. Play it.

The Good: Holy pixelated paradise, this game is Banished after a Red Bull bender and a community college degree! You’re wrangling a horde of low-poly lunatics into a settlement, and it’s a cackling good time. Production chains are so sexy I’d date them—wheat to malt to whiskey, turning my villagers into happy drunks instead of frozen corpses. Trading’s makes you feel like a medieval Jeff Bezos haggling with caravans like a sleazy car salesman, unlocking hardwood plantations and bridges to flex on my rivals. The tech tree’s a slow tease, dropping upgrades like a smug genie, and scenarios like Easter Island mode? Yes, please, I’ll take ten. The Bad: Alright, time to pop the bubble—this ain’t all glitter and giggles. Compared to Banished’s sleek survival grit, this feels like an overeager try-hard who won’t stop bragging about their Etsy store. My settlers breed like horny jackrabbits at a rave, but I can’t build houses fast enough, so they’re sulking in the mud, whining about happiness like entitled influencers. Keeping them chipper is a circus act—one missing sock and they’re burning the town down! Early game’s a savage beatdown too; if you don’t micromanage like a deranged puppet master, you’re a ghost town by breakfast. And picking graphics modes at launch? What sadistic troll thought that was cute? My potato PC’s sobbing! The Ugly: Bugs, oh sweet merciful chaos, the bugs! I’ve got settlers frozen mid-task, gazing into the void like they’re about to recite Nietzsche instead of hauling logs. The UI’s a fever dream—tool tips so cryptic I need a Ouija board to crack them, and trade caravans vanish like they’ve joined the Witness Protection Program. Performance tanks at 1000-2000 settlers; my rig’s wheezing like an asthmatic walrus, lagging so bad I could grill a steak between frames. And the random merchants? I’m sitting on 10,000 pounds of fat I don’t want, and this joker pulls up with broccoli—BROCCOLI! Devs, I’m one step from mailing you my virtual pitchfork! The Verdict: Score: 8.5/10 Survival City-Builder - Banished’s crazy nephew

I have enjoyed this for over 150 hours, if there are such terrible bugs in it, I don't see them or maybe they seem what is purposely in the game. Mods make this an even better game and help any perceived shortfalls in the game such as larger storage buildings which you have in a mod on the workshop but which I would be happy to see native in the game. Overall, was bought on sale and worth every last penny

This is a hardcore logistics/production simulator which fills some weird liminal space between Rimworld and SimCity 4. Imagine you really enjoy Rimworld but you don't care about all the interpersonal parasocial "The Sims" bullsh*t. You want to have two thousand colonists instead of two dozen, and you don't care much about how they feel on an individual level, you just want them to get to f*cking work. But also you enjoy OG SimCity and you appreciate the slow, crawling, expansive industrialization of an untamed wilderness. But when I say this is a hardcore logistics simulator I really mean it. I'm not talking about some Cities:Skylines city-painter public-transit-utopia watch-the-trams-go-round bullsh*t. I'm talking about some serious hardcore supply chain management. You should be able to obtain an associates degree from succeeding at this game. You should be able to manage production and sales at some factory producing pickled alpaca sh*t in glass bottles or something. Play this game and fight against it and endure it, and once you figure it out and you conquer it, you will truly understand the world around you on a different level.
