Feb. 2025
I am pretty sure this is my first review of any game. I am 50 years old and have been playing computer games my entire life. It started with Omega Race on my Vic20 and now I enjoy city builders, grand strategy epics, and management games. The Baldur's Gate series may be my only variance from the genres I like. This is the best game I have ever played. Why? LIke a good film, it is the writing and attention to world building. It is the complexity of the management. It is the openness of what you can do. It is a game made by some who loves games like this and it shows. It is not a cash grab. There are not seventeen DLCs for $7.99 each (looking at you, Paradox.) It is a solid, well crafted game made by somebody who clearly loves it. Tons of updates ... for free. Tons of options and features. Works great on simple systems. If you like strategy, city building, and management, this game has you covered. I think about this game the way I once thought about Total War games and Civilization. Games should be designed for the players by people who love to play games. Not corporate goons looking to finance their third homes. This is a gamers game.

Born too late to explore the earth, born too early to explore the stars, born just in time to play Songs of Syx. Like giving crack to a five year old. I have just bought the full game after almost a full day spent in the -DEMO TUTORIAL- and the damn thing is still in early access. If you even vaguely like strategy games, this is better than whatever else you are doing today, trust me.

The "unlimited demo" is actually just the full game version or two behind the current live build. Try away!

50 of my subjects froze to death in the streets because they weren't enough hearths to warm up. Over 20 minutes worth of progress was lost due to the resulting riots and economic setback as a result. I'm playing on the tutorial. 10/10
