Songs of Syx

Ethnostate, slaves, racism, secret police and genocide or you can choose to play it like dwarf fortress(lame&gay). 10/10 game

Absolutely atrocious controls and UI. Got stuck in the tutorial because I hit some button and caused crates to go like 2x5 or something, and I was never able to get it to go back. I love big strategy games and complex mechanics, but there's too many options out there for me to put up with bad UI and crappy tutorials. You can have complex mechanics deep customization without having bad UI. I can't believe this is 6 years into early access. Don't be fooled by the trailer.

Played early version, saw potential, gave it time to simmer. Came back just a week or 2 prior to this 71 release, and that thang simmered, sauted, sous vided, marinated, uhhh kabobbed It's really good. Little mad at this patch note tho: "Farting sounds toned down." Hope a fellow cultured man makes a braphog mod to fix this

This is an absolute masterpiece of a game highly recommend.

I wasn't sure I'd like this. I never really found much joy playing dwarf fortress, but I do love rimworld. Just like rimworld, I waited way too long to play this one. Whatever put me off about it got lost along with about 40 hours. I found some unintuitive elements, but nothing that really doomed my run. There are several game modes, races, and some meta-progression. the pixels might make you vomit, but it's actually all kinda pretty. the lighting is well-done, and the various character portraits bring some life to the little ants as they roam around. I always enjoy watching my workers clear a field on turbo speed.

The best city builder and empire sim I have ever played. The attention to detail, and the replayability is tremendous, I highly recommend this game.

it IS the best game. it just is.
