Addictive but has a huge bug about saving game progress

I downloaded this game for nostalgia purposes. At first it was fun, but the game constantly freezes without actually freezing when you try to do other things. Then when you have to force it to stop, you lose progress in game. I really feel that this should be patched.

This is not free to play. Without using the micro transactions it's impossible to play. You need to be logging in multiple times a day. My villagers were dying of old age to soon, which wouldn't be a problem if certin skills like medicine (which you need to master) didn't take forever to gain xp. Meaning every time I'd finaly get a villager to a high enough level to progress the story they'd die. Completeing singular puzzles can take real world weeks.

Downloaded the game and it will not go past the opening loading screen. Stuck on "Audio Initialized...". Even uninstalled and reinstalled so I can't even play it.

Not recommended Aug 26, 2026

Can only play the game for about 10 minutes before getting kicked out and not able to play due to "network connection". I have restarted y computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the game and it continues to happen.

nonstop challenges and goes off of real time on and off game unless you pause the game before quiting its a survival kind of game you have to breed your villagers to keep the village running and assign jobs for food and other jobs to keep the baseline going there is online help guides all over if you get stuck just make sure you give full name of game when looking for help because it is a series all and all a sit back and relax at your own pace kind of game

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

Games like It Takes Two, where the second player is the point

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
