The Planet Crafter has released version 1.0.

[delphonso]

Been playing a lot of games lately, in very short bursts.

Nioh is absolutely great and far more my style of game than Dark Souls is. It's just fast Dark Souls, which more customization. It honestly buckles under all the mechanics it introduces, but whatever - it plays amazing.

Battletech is also very good. Gameplay, customization, and story, all are satisfying. I've had a lot of fun just taking jobs to blow away caravans or stomp all over some pirates.

Balatro is hyped beyond belief and yes, it is very good.

I've been playing We Love Katamari, the remaster, with my daughter - it's great, love reliving my childhood games with my kid.

So manor lords came out and it great, great at being a medieval manor manager.

Not great at battles or people management, but a good city builder.

Any more opinions on manor lords? Similarities to other games?

I watched a couple hours of it by Legend of Total War.

No disrespect to the Manor Lord devs but....the game looks wildly over-hyped. I'm a little shocked how much coverage it has gotten, front page of Steam, a lot of other things. It reminds me of Tropico with fewer options. The production chains aren't super lengthy, there's no sim management of any kind, warfare is very barebones....

It gets the aesthetic just right, and the early game of course looks enticing as you build up. But once you've formed a stable village there just doesn't seem to be that much else interesting going on.

Compared to that OTHER 4x game that came out where your civilization goes from tribal to space age, Manor Lords looks like it needs another year of development.

I mean, last I saw a couple weeks ago, you couldn't even conqueror the other factions on the map.

So my take is "good game that they're launching too early into EA for it to be a complete experience."
