What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Multiplayer is one of the game’s strongest elements.
TL;DR version: OK game, good for one playthrough, but replayability isn't really there.
You can play competitively or cooperatively with others in a persistent shared world, managing your cities side by side or even working on the same settlement in co-op mode.
Great building models and map textures.
The soundtrack, composed by Alistair Lindsay, adds a fitting backdrop to your city’s development, shifting in tone as your settlement becomes more advanced.
There are lots of small other things that make the game shine in a unique way, the card system for buildings instead of the traditional build menu, population management that we loved from banished, the resource chains and production management from anno.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
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. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
