This game is very good-looking, focused on historical accuracy, and lots of fun. I hadn't played a gfame like that in decades. I am having more fun with Manor Lords than I had with the games back then (Civilization 1 and Master of Orion). I believe that when the game is ready there will be a tutorial (I know that some people complain about the lack of one). However, there are timely pop-ups that help a lot. Also, there are excellent specialized YouTube channels that can help beginners like myself. This game has gorgeous visuals and the action options ("What should I do next?") make sense. When I played there was no sound (sound effects, music etc). I closed the game and will start it again to see if that issue gets solved. I am a person who likes games made by a handful of people (in this case, only one person) and likes those "hidden gems" that you only find in SW stores in Linux distros (so that I have that feeling of finding a hidden gem), and this game is itching that scratch. I know that this game is being played by a lot of people, so it is not so "hidden," but it still gives me those vibes. Like "Wow, Greg [the game creator] is developing that game just for me!" kind of thing. Also, I look forward to interacting with Greg in his Discord to feel like I am part of development. He clearly states that he listens to feedback. I find that commendable and I believe that can give players who interact with him that warm fuzzy feeling of belonging. you will not get that from a AAA game from a large studio.
