Quick Summary: This is a very enjoyable game! I love the different starting bonuses. It gives a range of how you want to play each scenario. Whenever I went into the red I knew why, and I was able to restart the scenario without being mad that I wasted a bunch effort. Very fun, engaging, and not stressful. 1849 has one of the worst soundtracks I have EVER heard. I sincerely endorse this game! [Played with all DLC]

very enjoyable

Randomly stumbled across this game while looking up strategy games. After watching some gameplay on Youtube, I knew I had to get this game and try it for myself. This game is amazing and well worth the money. It's like Sim City but in the western. There is a story with goals for you to achieve while also putting out fires and keep up with the towns folks. If you get ahead of yourself, they provide challenges along the way which repays you back further improving your overall experience. Highly recommended!

Had many hours of fun with this game. The Neveda DLC is a bit harder and has longer wait times. I prefer the original. Looking forward to more new developments for the game!
