It weighs puny 4gb, with a lot of content and decent graphics.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Whilst some might find this off-putting, I found it really fun on Normal difficulty!
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the character management is not as granular as in more simulation-heavy titles, it adds personality and narrative flavor to the settlement without becoming micromanagement-heavy.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements this approach, offering calm, unobtrusive music that suits long planning sessions.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think the devs are taking things seriously & on top of bug fixes, changes, and discord which is amazing. 10/10 would pay for an alt race DLC like hamsters or rats to support the devs further.
