New Cycle

In tutorial mode people need water, it tells me I have researched a well but when I go to build a well it says I have not researched it. Uninstalled

Pros 1- Nice graphic with a good graphic card 2- Good music ( Like frost punk ) 3- Unique Resource Managements gameplay 4- There's a story. ( somewhat ) 5- Huge map CONS 1- No voice acting ( Corsair Cove game are full voice recorded for the same price at 40$ ) 2- SFX sounds limited ( no mining sound, no crowd sound, no nothing... @@ ) 3- Progression of the game feels regular. You simply have to manage the same resources all spread nearby. When resources is depleted, you build another facility nearby to gather more with the exception of the distance.. which doesn't seems to have any impact on the distribution speed. 4- Maps feels similar with same resources spread all around. 5- Unlock Research tree looks tedious. I've been waiting 2 years to unlock cycle 2... with no indication "how" to unlock the next cycle. Meaning, I am missing on clothing and medical facilities ( to boost morale ) but I don't know "how" to get to cycle 2.. which makes the game boring at a certain point. You also can't get MEAT from hunting since it's part of cycle 2. So you rely on mushroom soup for years... until cycle 2 actually unlocks... 5- To unlock meat hunting, you need iron... meaning you need to unlock The Forge ( cycle 2 ) first prior to unlocking meat, meaning, if you're out of mushrooms for soup = GG. 6- Winter is kinda short with no significant impact on the gameplay as long as you have tons of mushrooms, you get to move forward the next year no problem. In Frost Punk, there''s a challenge where if you don't get something done correctly, you pay the price dearly. That challenge is not in this game for winter. ( nor any season for that matter ). Conclusion: Not worth 40$ imo in this state. Maybe 15-20$ max. Fun... if you're patient to try to figure out how to unlock the next cycle while gathering mushroom and water every years indefinitely. The fact that there is no voice acting really makes the game dull tbh. I'll still play the game but... not very excited unfortunately. Corsair Cove is way better in every aspect of the game for the same price ( 40$ ) tbh. Note: I did unluck cycle 2 at some points... but, at the same time, I didn't feel any hype to continue as the game looks and feel very monotonous. I don't feel anything. That's the issue. Add some voice acting. Make the people more "alive" with SFX. Make people "angry" and we want to hear them angry. That's how you make the game more "immersive". The Devs should of known that since 2024. Strange that they ddidn't thought of it when all other games knows it like Frost Punk and Corsair Cove.

Lot's of potential, but feels incomplete.

Игра супер, очень затягивает. Но конечно хотелось бы не просто выбора карт, а рандомайзера с выбором характеристик на создаваемой карте. И очень сильно хотелось бы, чтобы была возможность отключать появление квестов на весь экран. Во frostpunk это было вроде бы подходящим под стилистику игры, но тут хочется просто иметь возможность отключать это)

For some reason the a problematic situation with the game were it will not let me build a well or dirt roads. It really feels like there need to just do voiceover work for the tutorial or something because no matter what I do it don't have a effective solution to my problem.

A really fun early access city builder. I would say wait for full release but I got 20 hours out of it in early access so it's got plenty of content now, though you can see that parts of the game are very bare bones and unfinished. I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic city building sims and there are just so few good ones. This is one of them.

Потенциал у игры есть, но похоже разработчики её забросили. Те из ранних доступов, где на игру забили. На данный момент, не рекомендую.
