This is a great game. Period. Why? It's simply not one of those build sims and improve on it. Yes, it has that but it has a lot more. It has social and political decisions to be made. And they make a difference! You run against the cold, time, cold, waves of people looking for shelter, more cold, lack of resources, disasters, dissent, social revolts, dillemas and more cold. You will need to mantain society united for you to survive and there's plenty of dissent. Each person has a background. Really, they have a name, age, preferences and professional background! Have you looked around you and thought that the politicians should do have done this or that? In this game, the citizens disagree with your policies or agree with what you decide. It has a ethics social decision-making system that makes this game incredible. And this is what I love the most in this game. Should you put children to work or not? The city needs coal (lot's of it) to survive but the cold is harming hydraulics system in the coal mines and threaten to collapse the tunnels. . What do you do? Send volunters knowing that probably some or all will die? Or abandon the lower tunnels, knowing that alot of coal will stop being mined and endanger the city? The atmosphere is fantanstic and the soundtrack too, but it's the scale of decision making that really makes the game really great. Take it from an old veteran gamer tired of nonsense resource collecting & building & fighting games. There's no army in this game, they would be little more than worthless. The scouts and decisions you make about them are spetacular and could be a bit improved. They are an asset that is decisive for the survival of the city, but imo they deserve more attention. Don't know if developers will see this or not, but if you could add a more personal feeling to them, it would be great!! This is my 1st review of a game I have ever written, sorry for being long but I just wrote it because this game is really fantastic. TY
