Desktown

This game is so good

Game is completely broken after trying to move it between monitors and locking up. It appears in task manager and on the taskbar, but there's no sound and the game window is missing. Restarted Steam and tried reinstalling the game multiple times and it didn't fix whatever this bug is. The game looked cute, but it's a shame that there's a bug making the game completely inaccessible. If fixed, I'll update my review.

Game: Desktown Rating: ★★★★☆ [h1]Positives:[/h1] › Has a good balance between fully idle and interactive play. › Guessing secret words was pretty satisfying. › Buildings are cute and match the themes well. › Takes about 100 hours to complete all achievements. [h1]Negatives:[/h1] › There is no list for unlocked secret words and its infuriating having to guess words again the next day and hope you come up with a new one. › The lists of words are extremely hard to complete and honestly just thinking of easy words that match the theme doesn't help. › The price per theme/zone seemed weirdly off why buy the expensive zone other than to unlock it when the first zone will always be cheaper. › As some of the other reviews noted I did get locked in the tutorial and could not progress (rage quit and left it for a couple weeks I have no idea how I fixed it) › I joined the discord and asked a couple questions and never got a reply. [h1]Community Items/Socials:[/h1] › Artworks on the achievements is nice and matches the games art style.

Thhe game is super fun and it's really nice to have it while doing homework since it gives me resources when I'm typing. The only thing that I don't like is the fact that one of the acheivement seems bugged. I have found 500 words but I still don't have the acheivement. Other than that it's a really fun idle game.

A cozy desktop city builder game, however I wish there is an option to disable tutorial as the game is bugged during satellite section. Speaking of satellite, most of the words if you try to generate based on the theme doesn't work at all (I hope they fixed it)

Gamifying your productivity might just help you stay focused, and Desktown gives you the tools to keep track of time while rewarding you for simply typing. The more work you get done, the more your desktop civilisation prospers, and if you benefit from that kind of motivation, then this game is recommended for you.
