庄园领主 Manor Lords

It's not entirely fair to say that updates and patches aren't coming to GOG. Beta releases cannot be enjoyed on GOG but the stable branch is currently updated. The last patch of the stable release is dated May 31, 2024 and was immediately available on GOG.

You know a game is something special when you stop playing the game for the games sakes and start trying to build a town. It may sound stupid but I was no longer thinking about the rules of the game or victory I was building a home for my people. Now this isn't to say the game is complete or perfect, it's Early access and there are features missing. But despite that the game is an incredibly immersive and beautiful city builder, there are some battles that I've only scratched the surface of. But the systems that are there just... they just seem to work. The road snaps to in a really snazzy way, buildings go together in a visually and mechanically pleasing manner. And watching your people tramp through the dusty trails, muddy paths or frozen ground is so pleasing. I can't wait to see how the game grows and flourishes, this is an incredible foundation for something truly special! But again it is STILL Early Access, if you buy in be aware that you are buying into a developing project. Stuff is going to be broken from time to time and mechanics are not in place but it's going to be a fun ride!

Even in the early development phase, its probably one of of the best strategy games in the moment. A great medieval atmosphere in terms of music and visual design. There is no lack of complexity in the early development stage. Thank you SlavicMagic

I like the idea, and game has a lot of promise, however at the moment about 50% of the upgrades, and 75% of policies are not even in the game. The combat is also a bit clunky, currently separated between extremely easy fights against bandits, and borderline impossible fights against enemy AI lord who has the luck of always having his forces spawn in one place, rather than like our mercenaries in random spots on the map. There's also a whole bunch of missing building descriptions, and unavailable options. Diplomacy is currently VERY ROUGH(We can barely do anything, and some text is obvious placeholder), although it does allow us to avoid having to battle enemy lord, so it's something(It seems like enemy always automatically agrees to stop trying to claim a territory if you contest it, which is good due to aforementioned issue with his army being almost unbeatable if you don't just have an army standing at all times in the area he wants to claim). Of the good things though, the graphics are really nice, and the village/town we built is really interesting to look at. I like the idea of building our own manor too(Though it's very rough at the moment). The overall realism with characters' looks, and mechanics is very cool, knowing that nowadays in game industry there are some really obnoxious people wanting to push certain agendas and downright lies even in historical setting like this... I am giving 4 stars because I see a lot of promise, but the game still needs a lot of work done.
