It is a beautiful throwback game where micro management is a must to ensure survival. I went through about 20 hours of game play and a dozen villages before getting the balance down for my settlers to flourish. The initial difficulty in establishing a community that won't die off is what makes this game so intriguing but once you nail it, there is little left to keep your interest. You should binge on it until you figure out the gameplay but it has a limited ceiling. Well worth the buy though.
