Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Sadly I cannot recommend this game. At the core this is a fun puzzler/builder. I was enjoying the core gameplay in the early access version, and was looking forwards to the 1.0 release, but even after many months the game is still way too…”
“The game is generally a nice mix of planning, building and some puzzling to place the buildings in the right spots and combine them with other buildings. The developers had really good and promising ideas, i really enjoyed it in EA phase…”
