Dawn of Man

Absolutely outstanding. If you're a fan of Civilization, you'll love this. Gets the level of detail and challenge just right. Very intuitive, minimal micromanagement, no bugs. Best new strategy game since Frostpunk. Well done to the creator.

The overall setting is unique in that it takes the city-building genre to a whole new niche. The AI Management is alright, though it could use more fleshing out. The tooltip definitely needs to be reworked, especially for beginner players of the Survival/City-Building Genre. Things like Thunderstorms, Morale, Farming, etc. could be fleshed out even more. Going blind into the game, I had no idea how to counter morale loss, or how to counter infections. This game definitely feels like late-stage beta at the moment.

A survival city-building game in a novel setting that hasn't been properly explored yet. I believe this to be the best of it's genre, mostly due to it's aesthetic and how well it delivers it's approach. The progress in this game is intuitive, the mechanics are unexpectedly interesting, the art style and the world fit beautifully, and the gameplay is ultimately intriguing. I think this is exceptionally wonderful for nature and animal lovers, as this hits all the good spots, with all the animal and landscape designs done perfectly. It focuses on exactly what it needs to and provides a very relaxed gaming experience where you enter another world. I rate it this low due to the lack of storyline, purpose or narration. It leaves a hole in the experience that is necessary for me, though most if not all the games in this genre do the same.

I had my doubts about this game from the get go. However after seeing all the positive reviews on various websites I thought why not I'll bite. Boy was I wrong! This game seems to be in Alpha in my opinion and is very boring all you do is literally hit speed x8 and watch. Occasionally throwing down a new building when your tech level reaches said building. It is also an extremely short game with an actual achievement to finish the tech tree in 5 hours or less, and doing that is basically beating the game. Of course you still watch and build more but there is nothing else to unlock. I got a refund on this one. Wait for a deep sale and then it would be worth the purchase for the shallow content.

This game is so boring, it offers no challenge and you will be bored before you get to the end, trying to find certain animals that you own can be extremely hard to impossible sometimes. Combat is probably the worst I have ever seen in this type of game, just click on the alarm and that's it. If you want a base builder/survivor game with a challenge then go buy Rimworld
