My Liege

What content is there is good but there is a problem. When you have something like "Choices matter" you expect to be able to deter the plot greatly with those choices. This is not that. Once you played it once, you've experienced 95% of what there is to experience. In the end, this is not a replayable story where your choices matter but a story where you were brought along for the ride and just need to survive. For that reason, I can't recommend it.

My Liege is a game you can tell the developer put a lot of love and care into. From the mutterings of the townsfolk and even the naming of the families, it's the small details that are the hidden gems providing a personal touch and a peek into who the developer is. Gameplay itself is straight forward, well paced, and easy to understand. Choices matter. The energy of the characters and story carries forward and clutches in so that the player is compelled to keep playing just to know more or get to the bottom of a problem. The story keeps momentum and leaves the player second guessing their decisions. Lives are at stake here! Countless times, I have found myself distraught over the consequences of my actions. The game rightfully hits the emotions it intends to. Overall, the game is highly enjoyable and quick to finish. It's easy to pick up and set down when more time permits as needed. Because the game takes you from start to finish so smoothly, it makes replay-ability much more likely for a player to explore what other outcomes are possible.

I very much enjoyed playing My Liege. I especially liked being able to customize the various houses and characters. It was a fun story where I felt like my choices were impactful and decisions became tougher to make as I went. Because I was so invested in the story and eager to see what happened next, I spent less time exploring. I would have liked to see more cinematics and/or other mechanism to encourage players to navigate around and interact with the world. I plan on playing through again acquire more achievements and see how my outcomes change with different decisions.

Very charming game :)

This is really fun! I only wish it were longer

My Liege is a fun game about running your medieval house. Picking the right option for the short and long term, not knowing what will happen next! The choices you make impact your overall stats (gold, food, honor, military, and morale) which impact future choices, which impact how the story will unfold. I really liked how the advisors would tell you what the outcome of your actions were so that you could make a good choice. The overall style of this game is great and cohesive! While the customization is limited, it is fun to see the house you created take part in the world. If you forget who is who as the story unrolls (in scrolls behind a scene of the action), you can click on names of people and places to remind yourself. The game is a little short, especially if you don't spend a lot of time exploring what the world looks like or if you read very fast. I was worried I would make a choice that would end the game early the whole time, but this didn't happen, at least in my first playthrough. I plan on replaying the game to see how much the story changes (also to get those achievements)!
