Colonize

I played the demo and enjoyed it so i bought the game its even more enjoyable. I don't understand all the negative reviews. The game is as advertised and for 10 dollars its more than worth it. If you didn't like what it was about why did you bother to play it?

I like the game, it has great potential, it was a risk to buy after its earlier reputation though it does still need work, the game feels very simplistic just build places and watch your colony thrive. Like many of these sort of games, they do seem to be having trouble with resource gathering, I could have a full load of firewood ready but nobody collects it and then my people freeze to death or the houses have firewood and still freeze or I have plenty of food stocked in cellars and nobody eats it or takes it to the animal farms. I once went from a health colony of 75 people to 1 person in a year and then I got six migrants and rebounded to 50 so as said it needs work.

Colonize is a classic survival city builder which is based on some of the first English settlements in the New World: Roanoke (1585), Bermuda (1609) and Plymouth Colony (1620). The game masterfully challenges the city builder to build viable and growing settlements at each of these historic sites. This game is particularly compelling to me since my ancestors were a decisive part in the settlement of Bermuda and Plymouth colonies. Stephen Hopkins boarded the ship “Sea Venture” in England bound for Jamestown in 1609. The ship encountered a vicious storm that drove the ship south and destroyed it on the coast of Bermuda. The men formed a small settlement there and after constructing boats, they finally made it to Jamestown. In 1614, Mr. Hopkins learned of the death of his wife in England, so he took the next ship back to care for his children. He remarried and embarked on the Mayflower in 1620. The weather forced the ship into unclaimed territory further north than they had planned. They landed and began to build Plymouth colony. Stephen Hopkins and his daughter Constance were my ancestors. In the short time that I have been building settlements, the developer made changes to the game…

One of the better city builders that I've played. There is room for improvement (mainly with play-balance as the colony begins to grow rapidly) but it is really well-done and both enjoyable and relaxing.

needs alooot of work

This game is absolute trash. No guides, tutorial is 99% useless. Don't buy it.
