9.5 / 10 This game feels like it was made for me. I love it. Great job to the dev(s). If you like ancient mesopotamia and simcity, get it. You won't regret it. My only suggestion is that you implement a tutorial to the game in a future update. It's not very hard to get started, but I feel like there are a lot of features that I may not know about without a tutorial.

Criminally overlooked. This is a highly interesting and engaging successor to Children of the Nile (sort of) with things like private and state workers, along with some modern additions like zoning. It's NOT a successor to those city-builders-but-actually-puzzle-games Impression games with walkers. Its production values are very indie, but I've found it immersive nonetheless.

5/5 - Sumerians really is a wonderful game. For me it ranks as one of the best historical city builders i've ever played. It is clearly made as a labour of love, by a designer with an incredible wealth of knowledge of the period. I think the period is key as well - the city state, with it's temple economy and public buildings, coupled with a period of incredible leaps in technology combines into a great template for a city builder game. Also, from what i can read, this is basically a one-man project; wow! Pro's: - The game mechanic is superb. The idea of private and state labour works really well, and the whole system flows very smoothly. - Graphics design and building system really works well. It's simple, original and stimulates one's willingness to create. - The attention to detail and authenticity is incredible, from the research tree to the tiny sculptures and decorations. Con's: - The learning curve is a bit steep - but if one has experience with city-builders it's not an issue. - A narrative campaign or interaction with other cities would be a great addition. - I've had one or two bugs and sudden shutdowns - but i think the game is still relatively recent and i trust this should be handled in time.

"Eeehhh" Clearly a passion project for the developer and it's really nice to see a game about Mesopotamia. But it's just a bit meh. Once the novelty of playing a Mesopotamian citybuilder wore off the game became very dull - you cannot expand your city without religious influence, and you cannot increase your religious influence without researching the right technology to upgrade your temples. So the flow of the game is basically waiting around for research to complete. Once that is done you can quickly expand your city up to your new population limit, then you're back to waiting for research again. I got bored and quit playing long before reaching ziggurat construction which was tbh very disappointing. I recommend only because of solo dev and the amount of work and effort he put into the game over the years. I wish him luck on his next project.

As an Iraqi, I loved it . It mimics the environment of Iraq and its ancient ruins. Some buildings are still in use in the agricultural south of Iraq
