From the art style to the soundtrack, every moment is enjoyable. I've played this game since shortly after it was announced all the way to now, the official release and I'm looking forward to the future updates and expansions to the systems and game!

Synergy is a fun twist on the old city builder genre, focusing on the environmental interaction and aesthetic side of building. From your tent villages all the way to refrigerated city homes in a desolate yet colorful wasteland, Synergy keeps you pushing the limits of your creativity and knowledge of the systems.
You begin by learning how to improve your villagers quality of life and expanding your population and through Researching. Soon the plants in your environment become different ingredients for crafts and expansion, trade with other people you encounter through Exploration and improvements to your own Districts.
If you are tempted to dive into the community you'll find a helpful Development team and friendly, laid back folk in the link Discord Server. Here you can find community feedback and techniques, Development information and updates and even give input to the current state of the game as well as help with Bug Fixes.

If you've ever played Sim City you'll be familiar with economy systems of needs, but the games more direct inspiration of the Pharoah/Cleopatra game series can be seen through the complex needs and industry systems.

Pros:
- Beautiful art style inspired by Mobius
- Well thought out systems.
- Relaxed and Normal "difficulties" specifically for those who prefer to focus on city building or on the story with a bit more pressure. And of course there is a Scenario mode for story and Sandbox as well as a short Tutorial.
- Ongoing development

Cons:
- Bugs: It's a recently released game, a couple bugs still persist but are actively being worked on by the team. The only ones I've encountered have been small, like UI text not being right or appearing, but a restart of the game seems to fix most of them.

- If you aren't into plants and environment "Synergy", you may not find too much enjoyment outside the City Building. (This isn't an issue for me, but I can see how some will find it to be an issue.)

Someone help me. I keep getting sucked back into this game after forgetting how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beautiful it is.
