I do need to say this in advance, i personally dislike this game due to various thing that really annoy me to no end and thus are quire bias about this but this is my experince with the game

it is a good game, a nice City builder event but i genuinely dislike how this game various mechanic completely confuse even to the most basic of basic

First, you have to manually deliver resources to "Villagers" who not even a villager, they more like renter for an apartment
to make them do anything
you want them to build they houses, you have to manually deliver resouces to them to make them build house

Hell you have to manually deliver them foods, yea that right
Manually deliver them foods or else they fraking died of starvation which is fraking stupid if you ask me

Which could be solved easily by having foods if not for the second problem

Second. Each household is exclusively hold they resources for themselves if they the one get it, yea you heard that right they horde the resouces i personally order them to either farm, fish, cut trees and etc etc,

The beauty for this problematic mess that i only getting small tidbits of they hordes from "Taxes", not even a big amount
Just small taxes for my town

Which can cause some serious problem like starvation and death because surprise surprise, farmers hording a majority of the foods needed to survive is a very stupid mechanic

i have many more to complain like the sheer lack of ability to auto some stuff because needing to manually click the household to deliver them resources is a very annoying and can be boring experince

at the Surface, this game look simple enough and it is simple but beneath that simplicity lie the massive complex that will actually be annoying to deal with

Of Course this is just my experince with this game but that is my honest feeling for it

So final conclusion, do i recommend this game to casual and normal players,
frak no, go play Frostpunk 2, that game is less stressful then playing this game

BUT if you are the type of players that desire a proper challanging city builder, this is the game for you

P.S the 9 hours i spend is merely focus on ensuring my village survival because how stupid some of the mechanic is

it is quite a stressful game despite the game look
so if you expect a jolly old time, no it is not a jolly good time
