Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 18 → 6/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I honestly really love this so far. I got it about 10 hrs ago. And I am just now getting off. This is the kind of Voxel based system I have been looking forward to since Minecraft. I always hated how chunky Minecraft looked when I tried to create more elaborate builds. And then there are so many hoops you have to jump through to get shapes you are looking for. But the Decorative mode for the Voxel system is just awesome. The content of the game is still a bit minimal, but that's ok, this is a great starting point for something greater, I am sure. I really enjoyed having fine control over the Voxels the most. I made myself a silly little Grill when I learned about the Blueprint Prefab building. I built a grill in 3 parts, it is mostly just aesthetic (a great idea would be to allow camp fires to heat metal that sits over it so that a player could cook food on the metal bars) but I made it with the Base, The Grill Bars, and finally the Canopy. You put the Base down and then build a campfire inside the base, then you put the Grill bars down into the inset part, and finally you can add the Canopy to the grill if you just want to get a bit more vibe off of it. This is a great Start and I do hope that it continues to be worked on and expanded. I only just now killed the First Boss because I was just enjoying building my house with details, a stable for my horse, and then the silly grill. This is a great start. I hope more is to come.
Очень хорошая игра! Надеюсь она станет ещё лучше и разнообразней.
One of the better voxel base MC clones in my experience. Started following this game before release. Many others have praised the graphics and I agree on that. I wanted to say that for EA and a single dev, the amount of content is great. So right out of the gate Lay of the Land has a lot going for it. Good solid framework launched from EA. Combat and equipment upgrades are nice. The exploration part is very interesting. Will update this review as the game is updated. For now it is a recommended with gravy on top.
Wow. *Lay of the Land* is everything I have spent the last 16 years trying to mod Minecraft into. It is still very new, but it already has an absolutely insane amount of potential. It is essentially a fantasy Minecraft with *Teardown*-style voxel destruction, taking inspiration from mods like *Tinkers’ Construct* and immersive sims such as *Arx Fatalis*. The physical, in-world crafting is fantastic. You can drop ingredients together on the ground or arrange them on a table and craft almost anywhere. Smelters, furnaces, and other crafting stations work similarly: you physically place items inside them, melt ore, and pour liquid metal into moulds to create weapon and tool parts. I love it. The combat is already decent, although some of the enemy AI still needs work. Certain enemies, particularly skeletons, become genuinely fun to fight once you have some armour and a proper sword-and-board setup. The procedural generation is also incredible. Exploring the world gives me some of the same feelings I had playing *Morrowind* or *Skyrim*: dungeons scattered throughout a huge fantasy landscape, breathtaking voxel environments, monolithic caves, and places that genuinely feel worth investigating. At times, it feels like the Minecraft sandbox I always wanted, but with the atmosphere and exploration of a Bethesda RPG. Naturally, I want to see much more. More biomes, dimensions, enemies, dungeons, gear, building options, and reasons to adventure. Give me its version of the Nether, Oblivion gates, strange new realms, or whatever else the developers can dream up. The systems already here provide such a strong foundation that my head spins thinking about what this game could become after several more years of development. Minecraft gradually moved further away from the fantasy survival RPG I wanted as it pursued a broader and younger audience. *Lay of the Land* feels like it is finally moving in that direction instead. I genuinely hope it finds a large enough audience to continue growing into the incredible game it has the potential to become. I will certainly keep playing, supporting it, and dreaming about where it could go. **Note to the developer:** Please do not hesitate to reach out if you ever need help. I have worked in the games industry as a lead designer and programmer for over ten years, and I have also spent the last five years teaching game development at the post-secondary level. I would genuinely love to contribute in any way that might be useful. Incredible work.
Lay of the land is the first game i would genuinely say is a upgrade over Minecraft, something i would expect a Minecraft 2 to be like visually, tons of tiny blocks instead of large blocks make up the world, where most other Minecraft like games i would say are more of just a twist on Minecraft with some smaller upgrades: Lay of the land truly feels like a upgrade completely in general to gameplay and how the world looks for block building games, not just with its smaller blocks, but physics, and gameplay behavior, its extremely satisfying to play, when i cut a tree it will fall once disconnected from the ground like a tree would, i can then chop it into individual smaller parts and then pick up each small chunk of the tree for instant large pile of woods, its a very satisfying system. there are 2 things i would like to note for those interested in buying, this is not a endlessly procedural world, each world is different in the terrain and where everything is, but every world will have 1 of each biome construct on a large island with a volcano in the middle, and it wont create any new environment no matter how far you try to sail away from the island, the island is all you get, its the price we pay for the much more demanding tiny voxel blocks and frankly i say its worth it, i don't need a infinite world to begin with, its more then enough space to explore and build on then most people need. second, this game will probably feel a bit like a early access game, i would say its as feature rich as Minecraft was when it fully launched at first, actually probably a bit more then that, but it can feel pretty empty compared to many other Minecraft like games right now, however the developers are still actively working on adding more features. basically be warned the game might feel a bit lackluster in terms of game systems right now, more is coming over time, but it might take a while, but its quite a enjoyable relaxing building experience, with a few interesting enemies here and there such as a few bosses. if this game gets multiplayer and a large modding community i would say i would have just about zero reason to ever play any other Minecraft like game again to be honest, so i am crossing my fingers for multiplayer because i imagine a larger modding community would probably naturally start to take interest in this game if it gets multiplayer which frankly is the biggest missing feature from this game right now, however be warned the developer has stated they have zero plans to add it last i checked, at least for now, citing its to much work for them alone as a lone developer, but it does not mean its not a future possibility.
Получаешь посох, магия левитации, вырываешь кусок камня, земли или чего-то плотного, ну или ставишь бочку под себя и летаешь по всей карте пока есть мана. Полетал по кайфу.
this is a wonderful game, i had tons of fun exploring the vast world that was created. in fact i wish this game was a little longer. if your looking for a short game that doesnt require much grinding and isnt all that time consuming, this game is for you.
Even though the game is in early access, the gameplay loop is pretty straight forward. It is similar to Valheim in the sense that you need specific resources to advance to the next area. I find it to be a pretty well made game given the dev is a single guy, and the mechanics are flushed out and the core of the game is established. I would like to see the game continue getting developed as it has given me a good 8.7 hours from start to finish (with the occasional afk moment to figure out how to make things). I would like to see more spells as well as a way to implement a possible class system (mage, fighter, rogue, etc...). Multiplayer is a way off but I enjoyed this game as a solo. Keep it up!
