Cultures 1+2

I love the idea behind this game and setting up a small village is awesome. However it does start to fall apart when you reach a certain population, as miners are to stupid to find new rocks to quarry, loggers will get lost as they head deeper into the woods and so on and so forth. Before you know it your notifications tab is full and your town is in chaos. I've been playing for about 10 hours now and whilst i am getting better, the amount of micromanagement required leaves me thinking I'll never actually finish this game, or build the huge Viking Settlement i crave.

2.5 stars. Not a really great game, but it's cute and I like the game mechanics. Just wish there would be a bit more battles going on. Still liked it a lot better than Settlers II HD.

It was a very addictive game for it's original release period, but now, about 10 or so years later, I really don't find that it has aged as well as some other games from this time period. I'm not talking about the graphics, they are what they are, but rather the GUI, and game play itself is very dated at this point. I understand GOG is all about releasing old(er) games and all but sometimes some games should just be left to the sands of time. If you're really into "busy bee" type of gaming and can get back into this type of GUI I'd still have to say... Wait for a sale, as $9.99 is just too much for this package. When it goes on sale and you can get it for half that or less and really do enjoy heavy micro-management type of gaming then give it a shot.

Too repetitive, and thus boring. Lack of depth too, too little to do. Not worth buying.

I used to own this game and really enjoyed it, lost through loaning to someone and never claimed it back. Have been waiting for it to show up on GOG. Finally I can play my fav Viking game again!
