Pan'orama

Pros: Its pretty and fun to watch Cons: Finished in 15 hours - it became just an interminable slog to get all 73 structures built to complete the game. The rewards for finishing - none that I could see! No recording of my score, unlocking of new structures. No incentive to play this game again. Maybe they will add additional content in future releases.

Pan'orama is one of my favorites of the genre. It remains rather classical to the whole hexagon grid map building, but instead of ramping up in difficulty as you gather more points, things get less punishing as you progress and unlock/place more buildings. I also like that instead of a set point goal to consider a session won, it's measured by discovering and placing all available buildings on the map - this gives you a bit more control of how long you want a session to last (I've built enormous maps, taking my time, but also finished things very goal-oriented way by planning ahead which buildings to use). If you do crave a challenge though, there is a challenge mode! Good balance of fun, relaxing and challenging. (Also cats! Must click on all the cats!)

it's a really nice game. the gameplay loop is nice and relaxing and the music basically puts you to sleep with how relaxing it is. for anyone that wants to unwind from a stressfull day, this game is perfect.

Love Dorf Romantik, thought this might be able to scratch a similar itch. It's fine, not as well structured as Dorf Romantic, doesnt set its hooks into your brain as much. Went through once, unlocked al the buildings, don't have a real urge to play it again. Fun enough to pick at lazily at the end of the day.

A tile-based landscape puzzle that looks a lot like a Dorfromantik clone but really isn't! It has its own mechanics, style, unlockable building structures & cute animals to pet for extra points. It's a perfect game to unwind with. Follow [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/46120374] SupaIndio's Steam Store Page[/url] for more reviews and recommendations.

Not worth playing because you cannot continue building your city after you win. Let alone after you lose.

Well, it was a quite disappointing experience. I wanted to play something interesting, chill and cosy similar to ISLANDERS or Reus. Something which plays like a board game, with some planning and strategy, but not too overwhelming. So, to be honest, the only good thing about this game is that it looks beautiful. During my first run I had a lot of fun just placing stuff around, enjoying how it looks. When it comes to game's complexity it's a disaster. My first run took about 2h to complete, and that's enough to see ALL the game has to offer. There are only 3 main groups of buildings, and pretty much no strategy involved. You get x2 points from placing water? You place water. You have "upgrade all forest around the building" - yes, you just place forest tiles around it until you fill the area. And that's it. I felt quite shocked how short, braindead and linear the gameplay was. So I tried playing the challenge mode. Challenge mode massively increases the point requirements for progression, but you get some permanent upgrades persisting between the runs to compensate that. The most points-efficient playstyle makes the map looks like a chaotic mosaic, everything else makes you lose since there are simply not enough tiles to fill the high points requirements. Play the game -> lose -> get perma upgrades -> numbers go up, game plays the same -> repeat until you have enough upgrades to score ~700 points from placing a single tile. It's all ending up being repetetive grind instead of any being challenge. After 8 runs, with enough upgrades, I could win this mode in like 3h of repeating the same ugly pattenr over and over again. idk, the game is probably worth getting on -90%. Playing it once or twice is all it takes see all the content and move on.
