Pioneers of Pagonia

Captivating and nice game. Played on my game rig (really powerful) and on my game tablet (not so powerful, but a good one), on both the game is running fine. The main story is a bit short (7 islands), but there are a lot of additional maps and online worlds :-) If you liked games like Luma Island or Len's Island, you will also like this one.

A pale imitation of its inspiration. I regret buying this expecting a modicum of the settlers but it appears its developers are more engaged in the social optics as opposed to quality gameplay. I don't write a lot of reviews but I hope you heed my word and avoid this cesspool of questionable vision and support the older Settlers instead.

yeah this is settlers for sure. the campaign is pretty good and helped me pick up some of the nuances here (Build lots of small nodes instead of one gigantic one, for example). i like the food system (but placing farms sucks!!!) and the combat is fiddly and annoying but cranking down the difficulty makes it largely ignorable. its not as complex with building placements or individual colonist preferences as like whiskerwood but it's not really that kind of game. it's.... settlers.

Disconnected and artificial military units lead to too complex economy. Every unit is a counter to a specific enemy population, and apart from thieves, the campaign only shows the same enemy type in a few missions. So you learn how to set up an economy and tune it to building one of 4 units to counter one of the 4 enemy types, then you never end up using them again later. It feels gimmicky and disrespectful of my time.

level 3 is broken, you cannot path to the opencast mine. working around it is possible, but tedious. still recommend the game
