What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Reigns is a choice-matter game that is set in the mediaeval age, where we will assume the role of a king and need to choose between two options; each one of those will advance the story in a certain way and will affect one of the four stats: church, people, military, and wealth.
Despite the minimalist visuals and limited audio, the writing carries the game's tone effectively - silly and occasionally philosophical.
Thirdly, the artistic style and the soundtrack give a delightful and relaxing experience to play when you don't have much time.
What seems like a simple interface quickly reveals a deeply engaging system of cause and effect, making Reigns a thoughtful and addictive take on decision-making and narrative strategy.
Theme by theme
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. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
