This is a great game. They've managed to pull off a roguelike citybuilder; a genre combination that one would think would not work. Great visuals and atmosphere too.

It also runs quite well and looks great on medium and low settings. I can run it on high on my 2060 quite easily, but I don't feel like I need to cause the artstyle works so well.

Might not be a big deal for others, but I love when games look good while taking very little computer resources.

I didn't think I would like it because I like colony sims and city builders where I'm just playing the same map for extended periods, but I gave it a try on game pass and ended up playing hundreds of hours. It's something special.

It really is special. I initially tried it out because I liked the aesthetic and the map setup/setting; small fantasy colony surrounded by impenetrable forest in a post-apocalyptic world. I was really skeptical about the roguelike x citybuilder hybrid as I like long city-builder sessions with huge maps and elaborate city designs, but they pulled it off perfectly.

I have 100+ hours. I did stop playing after the one of the early access builds made some changes that undermined by core strategy, but that's a personal thing. Really need to try out the DLC and start from scratch.

I'm in like the opposite camp... But I've never been able to get past the initial learning curve of the game. Something has never clicked with this one for me

I played it when it came out and it was great. I loved the campaign setup. I need to get back into it with that new DLC
