Outlanders

Puzzle city builder. It's slow and rather easy (15 missions in), but it's pretty fun once you adapt to its pace. Tried the sandbox mode but it doesn't seem to have organic challenges like droughts, diseases and the like, so imo it feels more like a side gamemode and isn't really that interesting.

This game is beautiful, but the devs basically abandoned this in 2024. There are no additional content or updates. The devs are focused on Outlanders 2 and their new games, which is such a shame, because Outlanders (1) has so much potential to be something greater. There are still bugs here and there (said in the community's discord) and suggestions from fans who want this to be more replayable, but that's it. For context, I've been playing the iOS version and this version for 3+ years now.

I bought Outlanders on a whim, needed a third game to add to a bundle to get some WL games at a good price, and I am so glad I did. This little city builder is simplistic yet charming. One thing that should be considered before buying is that the DLC seems to be incredibly overpriced. The highlight of this game is its scenarios, which are 30min-1h30min scenarios with different goals and restrictions, all on their own unique maps. The base-game has 29 of these to complete at $12.99 in my local currency. DLC packs, adding what seems to be at most 6 scenarios, range from $6.49 to $3.89, which feels very overpriced. They also add more buildings, but I can’t tell if these justify the price or not. As much as I loved playing through the original scenarios, I am not confident enough these DLCs are worth the money. The gameplay is very simplistic, especially with the first few scenario stages. As they progress, new mechanics are introducing that help tell the overall story of the Outlands: one that starts with settles trying to survive, but them progress to reforestation and building vibrant and liveable communities. The evolution of the scenarios is very clever and felt unique. The …

Amazing

incredible game yerp

It is tagged as cute / cozy, and only because of that, I'd give it a thumbs up. This is one of the slowest city builders I've ever played though - if you're looking for an actual city builder, I wouldn't recommend this game. Vast majority of the time is spent idle waiting for resources. There's no way to skip the night cycle, where literally nothing happens.
