good DLC!

it's the same as other game like this. Good game. Not amazing.

I've played a lot of time management games over the years. All of the games from 1 to 8 in this series are my favorites. I revisit them all at least once a year. It's great that they give you the option to play 3 different types of difficulty, so if you just want a relaxed playthrough, you can do that. It's strange that the price went up so high with the following games. Maybe they are under new management? Anyway, if the price for the newer games ever gets low enough I'll give one or more of them a try. I just hope they play as well as the games I already have.

As a fan of the series, Mother Nature feels like a comfortable return to familiar territory — workers scurrying about collecting food, wood, and gold while Hercules chucks boulders and Megara breathes life back into dead trees. The new additions like fire hydrants (yes, in ancient Greece) and the evil Hercules doppelganger shake things up just enough to keep the 50-plus levels from feeling completely stale. I'll admit the soundtrack gets repetitive and the story is paper-thin, but there's something genuinely satisfying about optimizing your worker routes to chase that gold time rating. If you've enjoyed the previous entries, this is more of what you love — just don't expect a reinvention of the formula.

An okay addition to the series.
