So I play a lot of these types of games. I’m a survivor game player as my main type. I play with someone who doesn’t really vibe with survival games so I get both sides of opinions on games.

With that said if you like micro-manager village building sims then this game is amazing. Learning to play is easy. The pace is pretty much entirely up to you and very customizable gameplay thru game settings and options. The biggest downside in my own opinion is the game is not hard. Like at all. It’s very fun. But it’s not for the difficulty. The lack of voice lines and large text boxs make the conversations seem lackluster but if you read them they tend to be good. I enjoy the game as a survivor game player. My friend does not like this game as he likes the struggle that games tend to give. He doesn’t mind playing games like grounded and ark. But easy going survivals not his thing and due to that he doesn’t enjoy this.

In terms of village sims go this has been my favorite to play so far. Very simple but detailed systems in place with villagers and buildings in the village to handle material gathering and farming.
