✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's creative freedom and intuitive controls for building and decorating, appreciating it as a relaxing creative tool. However, the most common complaint is severely limited content—lacking variety in building types, objects, materials, and customization options—with many reviewers hoping for future updates to expand what's possible rather than being satisfied with the current state.
All of the positive reviews for this game are either one sentence or mention "potential". That's when you know something is bad. I really wanted to like this. I'm a huge builder. In multiple games, programs, etc. It's my favorite genre of game, and despite the lack of any real positivity I decided to give this game a go. Let me just preface this by saying that this game made me so mad I tried to refund it on steam, but due to the three hours of playtime I was unable to and am now forced to have it in my library as a "what could have been." Out of any building game I've played, this one has the worst and most obtuse controls. the UI should not fight the player. I am an experienced builder, and I don't agree with the developer's response of "just learn all of the control shortcuts and it'll feel so great!" That is not good game design. I should not have to spend three to four hours learning a program like this's control schemes to even get anywhere close to competently fast building. I built settlements in fallout 4 using only a controller and precise placement with the game crashing every 10 minutes due to corruption and it was a more enjoyable and intuitive feeling experience t…4 found this helpful
There is a lot of potential for this game. More packs would be great, instead of being stuck with just the medieval. Some cyberpunk/modern and fantasy ones would be amazing! Adding some people too, would be awesome. But for what it is, making small little domes is cute and I love the ability to make some cute scenes.1 found this helpful
Game was good, really don't care for the diorama part, glass, base an so one to me it was a waste of time. Been better to have spent that time on props and items! just to few thing to do at this time.
i find this game mentally relaxing.
If you like games that focus on designing, creating, decorating, anything like that... buy this game. Good controls, good tutorial, lots of options to sculpt the landscape you want. I do wish it had a few more options for buildings, as far as types of roofs and doors, but overall I'm really pleased with what this game offers.
I love the freedom this game gives, the only limit is your imagination! I can't wait to start playing again!
