New Home: Medieval Village Review (mar4uder)
I don't usually buy Early Access Games anymore, as I've been burned a few times by games which were never completed. For example, one game in my library is now nearly eight years old and is still in "Early Access".
But I am a fan of city builders - particularly those set in earlier periods - and I've had this one on my wish-list for a while.
I was disappointed to read the recent harsh reviews and was about to delete the game from my list. But then it was listed as 40% off. An act of desperation by the publisher no doubt, But I'm a great believer in giving someone a fair go. So I purchased the game to make up my own mind.
The Verdict: In it's current state, the game is certainly very rough. The UI needs work. Economy system needs work. Road-building needs work. Keys don't always seem to work. Camera needs work. etc. etc.
Having said that - the game has huge potential. In a year's time, it could well surpass Banished and Patron.
So - I would not give up on this game yet, but keep an eye on it.
