Farthest Frontier is a survival city-builder, the team behind Grim Dawn . Unlike many traditional city-builders that lean heavily on urban planning and resource loops, this one emphasizes the harsh realities of frontier survival—disease, famine, raiders, and the constant struggle against nature. The game begins with a small group of settlers founding a village on untamed land. Wood, stone, clay, and iron are crucial. Seasons dictate crop yields, and soil fertility plays a big role in farming success. Farming is detailed, with crop rotation, soil depletion, and even blights affecting harvests. Hunting, fishing, and foraging provide short-term sustenance, but farms are key for long-term survival. Diseases like dysentery, scurvy, and plague can spread if sanitation is ignored. Wells, smokehouses, and cleanliness are vital. As your village grows, raiders will attack. Building palisades, towers, and arming villagers becomes necessary for survival. Tier progression unlocks more advanced buildings and technologies. Trade posts connect you to traders for rare goods. Crafting chains allow production of tools, weapons, clothing, and luxury goods, creating a functioning medieval economy. The game has a beautiful, grounded art style with lush forests, rustic villages, and seasonal changes that feel immersive. Sound design is subtle but effective: wind through the trees, livestock noises, and the tense alarms when raiders approach. Steep learning curve—new players may lose villages to famine or disease quickly. Late-game can feel grindy, with resource chains requiring heavy micromanagement. Performance issues on very large towns (though updates have improved this). AI pathfinding and raider behavior can sometimes feel clunky. Farthest Frontier is a rich, challenging survival city-builder that rewards careful planning and punishes negligence. If you enjoyed Banished but wished for deeper farming, more survival threats, and a stronger sense of progression, this is a perfect choice. However, if you prefer relaxed, sandbox-style building like Anno or Cities: Skylines , the difficulty and micro-management may feel overwhelming. 9/10 DISASTER | BAD | MEDIOCRE | OKAY | GOOD | GREAT | AMAZING | MASTERPIECE Reviewed on: Win11 Home 64-bit, Intel i5-11600K, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB PRIME, 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM, 2 x Kingston NV1 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Internet Broadband 1000/1000 Mbit If you like this review, then please consider giving it a thumbs up.

Great game if you are interested in travelling time. You will start playing at a given point in time and end your session at 5am a few days later and remember you forgot to eat.

Best-in-class city sim management game. I'm city game obsessive, from the days of Sim City 2000 to Cities Skylines and Manor Lords, I try them all and stick with the best ones. Farthest Frontier brings the goods. It's highly engaging, challenges you with raiders and wildlife as you develop your new city. The customization is excellent, from screen resolutions to UI scaling and optimization sliders to help the game perform best on your system. I LOVE UI scaling because it allows you to play on a TV from a few feet away. The game runs pretty smoothly at 5x speed on an RTX 4080 Super at 1080p, but definitely gets bogged down once you reach ~500 people or are on a large map with a few hundred citizens. I tend to play new cities rather than enduring at Tier IV so this hasn't been a huge problem, but it's worth noting. I also wish the game had a 12x speed like Manor Lords because I prefer to speed build cities and try different scenarios to see what works best and even at 5x, progress can be a little slow at times. Raiders are my favorite part of this game. They scale up based on the size of your city, starting with 4-6 raiders causing trouble up to 100+ raiders with barricade busting forces laying waste to homes, markets and storage areas. I have played with raiders and wildlife set to maximum aggression because it keeps the game interesting between build outs. The looming threats force you to be mindful of city size and grid development, ensuring optimal routes are the focus of the game to avoid losing villagers. In early access, the game was easier to play as a beginner because the upgrade tree was based on the base command center level (e.g., unlock specific buildings at Tier II, Tier III etc.) Shortly before launch, they added a tech tree which is massive and not super well organized. The UI scaling also doesn't seem to apply to the tech tree so you need to play at a lower resolution (1080p) on a 4K display in order to see what the different options are without squinting (again, from a few feet away.) I appreicate Manor Lords for their grouping of tech tree components. That all said, I have adapted to the tech tree and they have done a nice job of making it a choose-your-adventure style gameplay by allowing you to put knowledge points into what matters most to you, like mining over defenses. Once you have ~40 points in the tech tree, it becomes considerably harder to earn knowledge so you have to choose carefully because overinvesting in other areas can lead to a less fulfilling end game because knowledge point development speed ups were not prioritized early enough. Improvements could be made to the way resources are populated on the map. If you choose a Medium size map, the resources are all much closer together and then quite spread out if you choose a Large map. It would be better (IMO) to keep the resource density of the Medium maps and just increase the amount of resources on the Large map. You have to travel great distances and it can take forever even on cobble road so it makes the Large map less enjoyable as a whole when resources are few and far between. Additionally, the game REQUIRES clay to develop the school, healer's house and other key game achievements to keep progressing. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that clay will be on the map, so it forces you to add a Trading Post sooner in order to develop those buildings. I suspect this is due to some older decisions, when a Tier II Command Center made mining for clay and sand available. This is no longer default, and you have to unlock mining in the tech tree, even if you get the Tier II Command Center. This hiccup causes pain in the early development of your city and I can appreciate that clay may not appear on every map, but sand does and if one does, why not the other? Especially since you don't actually NEED sand to develop infrastructure in the same way that you do clay. There are some UI issues that I experienced at 1920 x 1080, namely the confirmation screen (e.g., Do you want to delete this?) is off-screen and impossible to bring back into the game window. There was also some initial confusion around how to manage policies. I can access them by using the 'J' hotkey but outside of that, how do I access policies? It was very confusing until I figured out the right key to press and I don't see an on-screen element to click that brings up the policies screen. In conclusion, I think you have to be someone who enjoys challenges if you want to excel at this game and I am, so I do. :) There is a "Pacifist Mode" that removes raiders and it took away the most enjoyable change agent in the game so I don't use it, but it may be of interest to others. You still have to survive so it's not exactly a sandbox free-for-all if you choose that mode. I also want to commend the developers on an incredible feat. I have played Banished, Manor Lords, Town to City, Foundation, Cities Skylines I & II, all the Sim Cities, Two Point Hospital, Tropico etc. This game is the best out of all of them, by far. Farthest Frontier lets you get into the nitty gritty and manage hundreds of citizens at scale. It is glorious and pretty well balanced. I wish there were more decoration options, but you can build a nice city/base with the handful of existing options. Highly recommended, it's the best city builder of 2025, hands down.

The list of settler/Anno-like games has grown really REALLY long in the past decade, and I have been disappointed more times than I can count, with each of them being just as boring and unfulfilling as the last. I almost cant believe it, but this one is actually good.. like.. really good. The economic simulation is fully phyiscalized and works at a huge scale. No teleporting goods or people. Everything is tracked and flows seamlessly. When your hunter kills a deer, they go and actually pick that deer up and bring it home in their inventory. They then turn the deer into meat, hides, and tallow, and each unit is then physically represented as its carried off to the smokehouse or storage. The smoked meat is then picked up by the grocers and sold throughout the city. The meat eventually ends up in the inventories of various households throughout the town and when people go to work in the morning they will pick up the smoked meat and carry it around in their inventory until they are hungry and eat it. This all happens in the context of a city with hundreds of people juggling dozens and dozens of goods and materials. All this is happening under the hood, and it never lags or breaks. If you like city builders or econ sims, this is the one to get.

I've been playing this game... for a while. Ive enjoyed the updates and am so pleased that the developers actually listened to the players. Highly recommend if you are looking for a game that you can sink hours into without having a panic attack.
