The flexibility in creating housing plots, decorative options, family heritage, and unique Ukranian setting add a lot to the experience. I found myself constantly wanting to go back to Ostriv while playing Manor Lords, as there's just much more depth here in terms of resource logistics to enjoy. If you enjoy Banished and Manor Lords, chances are you'll enjoy this one as well!

I've got 1,700+ hrs. in this game and it just gets better and better. The sole developer has surely struggled considering he lives in Ukraine and what the Russians have going on there. Things that didn't work, do now, and continuous improvements are occurring. My hat is off to him, may God Bless and protect him from harm.

Gonna be honest with you. Every time someone praises Manor lords for something innovative I think "But Ostriv already did that..." and every time people say of Manor lords "I wish this was a little more polished" I think to myself "Well... Ostriv already had that system, well polished too!" Also people who says development is been very slow, dude, now only is the entire game made by a single guy, he also lives in Ukraine, which, as you may recall, is being actively invaded by Russia at the moment, yes, the news seem to have forgotten but I would wager the people who actually lives there is probably still not having the best of times. Lest you can do is at least be understanding. So if you do not care about Manor lords RTS combat, if you want Vanished but way better and with more polish and care, if you want one of the best medieval city builders ever. Check it out.

100 hours in - it's a good game... and beautiful. I do feel as though I've explored most of the content at this point. There's a fair amount of it at present, with a ton of potential for both more buildings and more flora. The detail is amazing... from the way a building is built from the foundation up through the roof framing to the towns people strolling on a bridge in their colorful attire, carrying a cart of supplies somewhere. From Oxen plowing a field to cherry trees in full bloom. In the hundred hours of play there were two CTD's. At 850 population it feels like I'm starting to push stability limits (at least on my machine, it's a few years old). Considering the amount of detail and data involved it's not surprising. It feels like this game accomplished what the city builders tried to do - track and simulate everything accurately. They all talked it but failed miserably at walking it. Keep up the great work Mr. Dev. It's a beautiful game... and it works.

Bought it cause of the hype, not particularly regretting it, but expected more, especially due to statement *we want to make best city builder ever made*. In my opinion most important thing in this kind of games is well balanced infrastructure, economy, pacing, and this game is severely lacking in these. I read the patch notes and plans of the devs, and overall they seem like very likable people, but I dont think the vision meets with the reality of the game. The visuals of the buildings are very detailed and nice, it is nice change from other games which have just *pop a building*, here you can see the whole process of building the slot, plus people growing their own garden is something I really really liked, thats very nice touch, so all that is very interesting, thoughtful and clearly made with love, but visuals overall are lacking. There is lot of focus on things that are not important in city builders while lot of major and necessary components are missing. It is still better than the one with beavers, but still much worse than Banished and similar. There are no issues technical point wise, I saw some crashing experiences and not saving etc, I didnt encounter any issues regarding technical side, it runs like butter, but cant imagine sinking hours into this, there is no goal to strive for, gameplay is dull and there is no progress scale. You have access to everything from get go, you just keep building and hope people wont leave until you are done building the next building, it is miserably executed, too slow paced, and lack of any progression scale, reward system or achievements, some motivation to *keep building* or do anything really is massive. The infrastructure and economy lacks are game breaking at this moment and I dont think the overwhelmingly positive is deserved, neutral, yes, for alpha, but it needs lot of work in all departments, it is not enjoyable to play at this state. I am mainly giving it thumbs up because of the price, which is fairly low for this and if you dont have much experience with city builders, I think you will not exactly perceive the massive lack in important areas there is, or at least not for hours, you will just think that *it is part of it* or *I am just bad at this*. If you are experienced in this genre, go back to Banished and maybe see this in few months/years. Hope it is not too mean, but I think the reviews are way too generous in this case, it is not that good.
