Before We Leave
I have personally been enjoying this game very much! I appreciate that I don’t need to worry about war or combat, nor must I consider the monetary value of my peoples (ie. slavery). It still can be challenging, and I was pleasantly surprised by the little challenges it throws your way (ex: the gremlins!). The aesthetic is very pleasing, and it isn’t very demanding graphically. I would definitely recommend this! I’ve written out some of my experiences and some tips! ♥
- The Tutorial -
Doing the tutorial is a good idea and I do recommend it, but the tutorial will take you through pretty much the whole game, or at least deep into the mid-game – this could literally be hours and hours lol. But I would suggest stopping after you have started to explore your second planet., then proceed to your own games.

Before we leave is one the best games I have played in a long time for getting right into the game and understanding what to do. It’s not because it’s easy or simple. It’s because of the amazing job they did with the tutorial system and explaining the basics of the game.

Citystate II
Don’t buy.
-
Unfinished game
-
Bugs
-
The “realistic economics” in this game leaves a lot to be desired and calling it realistic is laughable.
-
The dev has been MIA since early October (within weeks of release).
-
Developer is either a huckster or lacks any sense of professionalism.
The misrepresentation that you are buying a finished game on the store page and the fact that the developer just disappeared makes me feel as if I’ve been had. The excuse on discord by some person who is not the dev is that he has a family and he takes long breaks. Make of that what you will, but I will not buy another product from this developer.

You simply can’t play more extreme ideologies anymore (Left & Right) which Is kinda where alot of the fun came from. Everything needs to be balanced. It’s okay but at some point you’ll run into bugs that remove zones not just buildings and tank everything. Tbh it gets boring after it happens a few times. Oh and after many hrs my political leaning instantly went from 47-53 to 100-0 to the left which sent everyone into a riot and the whole city was destroyed. That right there is a game breaking bug. I’d honestly say buy the first one. I’m not hating btw, I actually really wanted to like it.

Clicker Planet
I like to support Clicker or Idle game developers. I bought game + DLC and regret this after 10 minutes…
1. This game is so simple that can be made in Unity in less than 1 day.
2. There is no tactic, strategy - nothing in this game. You can just buy 3 idle source of income and… nothing more. There is no progress, no new planets - nothing
3. Game is totaly empty. You can click on 4 diffrent things and do nothing more
4. GAME RESET YOUR PROGRESS RANDOMLY! I played 10 minutes and clicked 3000 times. I was kicked out from game, when I started it again I needed to start from zero. Same happen when you buy DLC and choose diffrent planet (mirrored + diffrent color = 2 USD payment… really?)

Kingdom of Assetia: The Clicker Game
this game is not as bad as many i’ve played on steam, i know this game is early access but its a hard grind right now, hopefully the balancing will get sorted soon

Great Clicker/Idle game! Started rough, But it is an Early Access game after all, Developer has fixed the balancing issues as well as added more content and is really fast when it comes to fixing bugs that have been reported to him.

I thought I had reviewed this previously, I am sorry, I really should have!
I love this game, it is one of two I have played daily for a year. I love hidden object games, this one takes that in a unique direction. Basically, you are tasked with creating a town in the 18th century I believe. You have to build housing, businesses, parks etc. The hidden object games come in when you level up the factories (businesses). For most, you are creating product to sell like breads, cheeses etc. In order to get additional slots to produce, you have to level up your factories by playing these hidden object games that get progressively more difficult as you level your factory. They also do by-weekly events that are a lot of fun and keeps everything fresh and interesting. It takes a while to level but to be honest, I try to slow it down even more because as you go up levels, more factories become available and you have to purchase them so my goal is to have the money before I level. This is a free to play game and it is possible to play and advance without spending money. I have spent money on gems to get decorations and upgrade my residences because I am lazy and don’t want to work that hard ;D

Edit after about 1.5 years in the game and at level 50:
As the game progresses, the hidden object games one must play to level a building gets effectively tedious. Even playing a bit in the morning and then in the evening when the timers are shorter it takes 2 or more weeks on a single building to get from level 4-5.
AS for my time played - look at it. You’re right, I’m not actually playing the game that much. Who could? Herein lies my biggest gripe: collecting resources. I generally collect one or two sets of resources a day. They renew every 6 hours. It currently involves literally 3 hours per collection. So I am AFK ALOT. Sometimes I choose my 15 resources (gets me about 225 wood at a time, so it’s not minor) and: go to work for 8 hours, go to the store, mow the lawn, go to sleep, cook and eat dinner with the family, watch a movie - you get the picture. In fact, I’ve almost quit the game dozens of times just because of the resources. My recent solution is to decide not to care and just pop in each evening, do some HO’s, collect from my factories, and get whatever resources I can before I log off. I won’t be playing much longer, I suspect, and I have paid for a total of 18 months premium account thus far. In my opinion, the devs really need to rethink resources and their collection specifically, because it has completely turned me off the game.

City Builder
I got this on sale for only ninety-nine cents.
And trust me, it was still over-priced !
“City Builder” is a boring mobile port with terrible controls.
Avoid this city at all costs!
