I would say that the current EA version level of UI and game bugs are really putting a dark shadow on this otherwise fantastically well done citybuilder. It shares the most of the mechanics with Dawn of Man and Banished, further improving them. Suffers from some really annoying game mechanics that aren't as apparent until they start working correctly and you realize what exactly was it that prevented them from working before (cows not passing the gates, gates not closing in front of invading army, farming soil not getting filled with clay or sand, hunters idly standing next to a boar...). Graphics wise, it's beautiful in every aspect.

Overall I'm not gonna recommend it for the average gamer because I feel the price of ~30 eur is too steep. This early access game currently has a lot of drawbacks both content wise and gameplay wise, but the true citybuilder fans shouldn't skip this one. I'm actually a bit surprised by the amount of positive recommendations that this game has got despite, in my opinion, being far too underdeveloped for the price asked.

But It has all the means to become truly great in the future when issues are solved, content expanded and bugs addressed.
