✦ AI summary

Dawn of Discovery™ is praised by players as an innovative and ahead-of-its-time strategy city-builder with impressive graphics and engaging mechanics around building maintenance and resource management, but it is severely hampered by persistent memory leak crashes that occur after a few hours of play even on high-end systems, making it frustrating to play on modern computers. Players recommend waiting for the History Edition rather than purchasing this original version.

Unfortunately this game doesn't work for long on modern computers before getting the dreaded memory leak error or sudden crash, all known fixes attempted without success. Hoping the history edition fixes this. Wish I never bought this

I haven't played anno when it first came out and I very much regret it now, having seen how far ahead of its time it was.

This game will litterally crash after some amount of time, usually a few hours, due to "not having enough RAM available" (playing on a high end PC with 64GB RAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Was fun when I played it. I'll replay it again at some point just to doublecheck if my memory does not deceive me.

strategy, city-builder, resource management, trade/battle game. graphics impressive given the age and complexity of the basic game (2009). I have a grand selection of similar games but this is better imo than AoE2 due to the building maintenance aspect which doesn't figure in AoE2. I downloaded Anno 1404 and the Anno 1404: Venice some years ago but only got back to it recently

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
