This game is THE BEST city builder I have ever played and its cause of LAYERS. This is what I mean: You start out with a small group of settlers, all with individual names, personality traits, family trees, etc., like Rimworld. You could feasibly just play the game like this, keeping a tiny insular village with all custom buildings that produces cloth or something, like Rimworld. But maybe you're bored of that. You let more citizens into your town, build more houses, build more factories, services, decorate it so that they like being there and won't off each other. Suddenly, the game becomes Banished, with a medium sized community that individuals start to disappear into. You start making building blueprints and copy and pasting different city sections because building everything custom every time is hard and takes forever. Then you start having problems with traffic flow. Suddenly the game is now City Skylines, and individuals have vanished into a living breathing collective. Now you look at charts to see how many hundreds of more people you need to fill your labor force, or observe resource collection to optimally place your warehouses and factories, or reconstruct road networks to allow your citizens to get to work on time. And then you start having problems with raiders and other local cities extorting too much money from you. Then the city itself shrinks away, turning into an engine for your military conquests as you build a massive army to take back your stuff, and maybe a bit of theirs. And now Songs of Syx becomes a Total War game, but with actually good diplomacy and trade. The insane thing about this is that all of these layers are running AT THE SAME TIME. At any moment you can zoom into the city and watch a farming family go about their daily routine, taking their kid to a daycare that you BUILT and DESIGNED, dumping grain in a warehouse you DESIGNED and PLACED, eating at a restaurant or drinking at a tavern, built and designed by you. And then the kid grows up and raises his own in the same house, and you see a family grow over generations in a city you constructed house by house. Then you can zoom out to the world map with millions of such individuals living in the wake of your political and military machinations. Its positively beautiful.
This is a cautious recommendation. I actually rewrote my original review because, after thinking about it, I didn’t feel it was entirely fair and switched it to a thumbs up I want to love this game. I really do. I have more than 900 hours in RimWorld, the community can’t stop raving about this, and it’s exactly the kind of game I’m usually drawn to. But man, the barrier to entry is high. Be prepared to work for it. The UI/UX would benefit enormously from a nested tooltip system like the one in Crusader Kings III, where one concept leads naturally to the next and helps you understand how the larger systems fit together. There’s a huge amount of information and raw data available, which is great, but it sometimes feels like trying to teach someone a language by handing them a dictionary. At some point, someone still needs to explain grammar, syntax and show you how everything connects. As it stands, you’ll probably need to spend several hours learning through trial and error, or speed things up with guides and YouTube tutorials. That process may be part of the fun for some players, but for others it will be a major source of frustration. Hopefully the interface, onboarding, and overall UI/UX improve by 1.0.
Absolute hidden gem. You start with a handful of people and slowly build up a defensible city of thousands. Before you know it, you are managing industries, trade routes, logistics, supply chains, armies, and eventually entire regions as you expand into an empire. The scale of this game is insane. What starts as a small settlement turns into something that feels massive, alive, and surprisingly complex. The mechanics, especially logistics and production chains, hit the perfect level of depth for my taste: deep enough to be rewarding, but not so overloaded that they become exhausting. And then there are the battles. I would not mind a tiny bit more depth there, but honestly, even as they are, they fit the game really well. Sons of Syx is one of those rare games where you look up and suddenly several hours are gone. If you like city builders, logistics, economy management, and a bit of grand strategy on top, this is an absolute must-play. Two small tips for new players: make use of the in-game Tome of Knowledge, it explains a lot more than you might expect. Also, check out the Steam Workshop — there are a few very useful mods that can improve the experience without changing the core of the game too much.
I've played the "Demo" for 75 hours, which got me to the late game of starting to conquer neighbours and stuff. That "Demo" I played was only one version behind the current game version which is crazy, props to the dev for that. Songs of Syx fills a niche in colony builders that I haven't seen any other game do before, smaller than a pure city builder that doesn't care about individual citizens at all, but way bigger than banished, manor lords, or farthest frontier. And I really like the option of expanding on the world stage. The game exposes a LOT of stats, which is a little overwhelming at the beginning, but I do really like being able to tell exactly what's going on under the hood. Also the game runs super smooth even at the ~5k citizens I was at, though it doesn't quite manage to reach the 250x speed anymore :p My review is positive of course because it's a really fun game. But I wouldn't recommend the game to myself, because it's the type of game that I can't put down to go to bed. Also sidenote: Titles you unlock in the demo DO carry over to the full game, as of version 0.69 to 0.70.
