What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The "dynamic" NPC interactions are deterministic dialogue trees and romance is as simple as just asking someone to bang.
Some shallow storytelling and repetitive quests hold it back slightly, but it’s absolutely worth your time and money if you enjoy immersive, long-form gameplay.
Nice sound and graphics, nice building system, nice general atmosphere, nice combat mechanics (or at least I've seen a lot worse), nice idea with the multi-generation dynasty though I never was motivated to actually play that long, this obviously was a passion project at least for parts of the game, so I'm recommending the game, however I am not motivated to pay for any DLC or would ever consider buying a part II.
I would be remiss not to mention co-op too–it's not only insanely fun to play this with friends, but it performs WAY above most actual multiplayer-focused games that I've played over the last few years.

It feels quite immersive, the soundtrack is enjoyable (though a bit more diversity in it would be nice), all the building is fun, and the quests dialog offsets the simplicity of most quests.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
