Never have I had so many mixed feelings about a game. It's fun. It's impossible. Imagine a roguelike game in which you die a lot but never actually get stronger. The game relies heavily on RNG that is outright terrible at times, like sticking you in a halt with zero wood and giving you the goal of gathering 500 wood. Or giving you a pupil with the cooking specialty, but then giving them a trait that forbids them from cooking.

The "campaign" is a brief tutorial that doesn't teach much, and a lot of things are left unexplained. There are lots of ways to put points into things to make your life easier, but none of this is discussed in the tutorial, and the margin of error is such that you don't have time to experiment and figure stuff out. When I got to the last tribe I kept dying of hunger despite having lots of food. Took me several runs to realize I was dying from lack of wool. The main game would really benefit from a sliding difficulty scale or the ability to add more difficulty modifiers (you can do this in a custom game, just not standard).

And yet, I keep playing. I'm not even frustrated. I can't say why. Maybe because the music and tone are relaxing? It's harder than Frostpunk and yet I feel no tension, not even when I'm about to lose.

Is it worth it? I think so. Just know what you're getting into and don't expect updates. The game doesn't appear very popular and I was able to find plenty of comments complaining about many of these issues back when it was released. I doubt the RNG will get fixed.
