It's a great project, but it does feel more like a tech demo (an impressive one) than a full game. There is a lot of missing content and stuff that is just unfinished, unbalanced or confusing when playing. However as it is right now Manor Lords is a great foundation and has a lot of potential to become the best medieval city builder ever. If it wasnt Early Access I would not recommend it as it will only be fun for a couple of hours, but it is an Early Access game and I do believe that this passion project will get better over time. I am very much looking forward to playing this once it's completed. It's a masterpiece in the making.

Pretty dumb to get negative reviews constantly just because I dont have anything they like on the menu. Why did they even come to my burger restaurant in the first place.

Also, why is creating recipes so tendious yet also serves seemingly no deeper purpose and doesnt even make sense. It feels like you can define steps that need to be done but you cant actually do it.

Couldve been a good game but it feels like an unfinished Early Access experiment.

TL;DR: If you plan on playing single-player: Do not buy until they've made the world persistent. If you play multiplayer, please read the review first.

Alright, so I would really like to thumb this up. I like a lot about this game and enjoyed my time with it. But there is one key feature in this game that completely ruins it for me:

The world is not persistent! This means, everything outside your own house gets reset when you "save" and quit and then "continue" later again. (Or also without even quitting but just by not being in an area for some time)

At first I couldn't believe it. I thougt sure, Enemies are going to respawn, and maybe trees and rocks too. But no! EVERYTHING gets reset. Nothing you do has any impact at all. Loot chests, terrain, animals, items, barrels, traps, enemies, decorations like carts or fences and all narrative elements down to the same chunks of raw meat laying on the floor in the same exact spot every time you step in front your base, which is the only area that you can actually leave an impact in, will just spawn back in. This is so ridiculously exploitable (especially with the quick travel options) its not even funny. I would love the game otherwise. And it wouldve been an easy fix by the devs imo but I cant seem to find any mention about this being a bug or a planned feature. And they have the tech to serialize and save areas of the world. So why not save it? It really makes me think this is just a stupid design decision.

Let me give you an example on how to get the best equipment (no exploration or sense of accomplishment needed) quick:
1. Find a location with a crate that has some nice gear inside
2. Place a flame altar closeby but not so close that the crate is inside its home area.
3. Go back to main menu and load back in.
4. Run the 10 meters to the crate and loot the new, random but also very valuable gear.
5. Repeat until you're maxed out and maybe repeat even more because you can also salvage what you dont need to upgrade your gear even more.

WTF?!

Now, obviously you could just say "Alright then I will just not exploit it" - But this is not so easy, especially since there is also no way to pause the game, not even in single-player! So if you gotta do something and have to leave the game for a few minutes? Either you stay in-game, which can be very risky or dumb or you do the obvious and quickly leave to the main menu to "pause" - But then you go back in-game to find everything has been reset. lol
Good Luck remembering what you've looted already and where you've missed something and resisting the urge to re-loot everything. Especially with everything looking the same.

Also - Why have this great voxel terrain and then not do anything beyond a slightly more advanced minecraft-y building system? There are mines now but when we are done mining in them and they get slightly too uncomfortable to mine in instead of having to come up with cool mining operations we just leave the area and come back later or reload the save and everything is back to normal and the mine is filled back up. This is so dumb. Valheim was able to make this so much more immersive. It's a shame.

Overall this just completely kills this game for me. It makes it feel very unfinished, unbalanced and generally negatively impacts motivation. I really hope they can make the world persistent. At least make it an option for hardcore players! Or at least make everything outside the shroud persistent!

SBMM ruining another mutiplayer game - No way to enjoy pvp games casually nowadays. Just another sweatfest. Literally Apex Legends 2.0

Its so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring. Hunting in RDR2 is way better

6 hours in an so far I wouldnt recommend it. For free okay, but definitely not for $70.
Reason is not that its a bad game, I think there is a lot of potential. But so far the story and dialogue was a big pile of garbage. The entire game is just a ton of fetch missions - Might as well be all side quests. Which sucks because there is a lot of it. And the way the game introduces me to the universe and game mechanics also sucks. I wouldve much preferred a start without narrative at all over whatever this is, but then with better gameplay.

I'm fine with the spaceship being a simple teleportation beacon instead of an actual spaceship, if I had the option to at least drive vehicles on the ground. But no. Thats not a feature.

And dont get me started on inventory and item management.

I really hope this gets better...because I heard the first 20 hours are the worst.

Edit: 4 hours later and I was so bored I quit

stunningly beautiful pixel art, superb music and fun retro platforming for a fair price.
Not too difficult but also not too easy. Some sections are frustrating and could use some different checkpoint placement, but apart from that well worth your money if you are into platformers or simply appreciate nice pixelart.

It's a great, funny and addictive game. BUT its also too story-driven for this type of game (at least for my taste). Too many cutscenes (thankfully often easy to skip through) and scripted events that lock progress behind tedious dialogues and trivial, boring missions. It's also a very easy game, at least once you get used to the mechanics. The boss-fights are easier than most regular enemy encounters. And while the diving sections are randomized the maps are still always kinda the same with the same enemies at roughly the same spots. There are like 3 different layouts and then just the items (which also appear at the same locations every time) are somewhat randomized, but since there are only a handful of weapons and items its not the same experience as a roguelike or something like that. So diving quickly gets pretty boring and repetetive. I wouldve preferred no layout randomization but a bigger "map pool" to actively choose from, a bigger map in general, and much more fish variety. There's also a big narrative around fantasy creatures which I am not really a fan of but thats just my taste. The visual style is also questionable, mixing various styles, but you get used to it. And the worst part of the game are the quick time events and button mashing the game keeps throwing at you.

So yea, overall there is a lot wrong with this game and I wouldve preferred a slightly different game with the same premise, but it was still enough to get addicted. I also love the humor and the mix of restaurant management and "fishing extraction roguelike". Therefore, if I have a choice between not recommended and recommended I would recommend it, but if I would give it a rating out of 10 its more like a 7/10.

It doesnt take itself serious enough and I always felt very limited in my choices. Its basically just a trump simulator.

I was hoping for more "civilization" and grand strategy in this game and less "Make America Great Again" and "haha funny".

And the thing is it looks like this game is trying to do just that. It looks like it gives you a lot of important choices and strategic elements to play around with. But in the end its basically just reading jokes and choosing between Joke A and Joke B as answer.

The start is quite boring and repetetive but towards the end of a run its a lot of fun.
You also need to play a few runs to unlock interesting and fun new modifiers and upgrades (which is a bit annoying imo that you have to grind to get to the fun) that are worth playing.
