Let me be clear: Manor Lords has the makings of a truly great game, which is the main reason I feel compelled to write this review. The potential is clearly there. Unfortunately, that potential is being squandered for GOG players. While the game is in Early Access, consistent updates are essential for progress. The Steam version receives regular patches, but the GOG version is lagging behind and makes it feel like we're getting a lesser experience. Considering it could be years before a full release, this "beta of a beta" approach makes it difficult for me to currently recommend.
