Barely works but works so good
What a shambling, charming wreck the Guild series is. I stumbled across this game when it first came out and I had no idea what I was in for: A mixture of satisfying economic simulation and oddly poignant dynasty building, wrapped in an absolutely shambolic mess of an engine. The sequel is possibly the high mark of the series in terms of features and implementation, but with its increased fidelity it lost some of the charm of the original. The Guild is a game in which small town politics and intrigue mingle with managing a (fairly modest) business empire. It is trees of upgrades and wondering if your kids will survive so you have a successor. It's a game where you choose your favorite out of your three kids to pick up the reins once you die (death winds up being quite poignant in this game somehow) and then follow the two you didn't choose as they try to build lives of their own: Did you give them a good enough inheritance to where they become respected citizens or do they become destitute? It's awful and great to see. It cannot be stated loudly enough how incredibly rough this game is technically. It sometimes feels tied together with shoelaces and gum, so a high tolerance for jank is important. But persist past that and you'll see a game that tries to do something unique and beautiful, giving you hints of genuine insight into a time when the values in life were dramatically different.
