floptropica ahh game, very unbalanced and unplayable on launch. Actions need to take longer why can someone just run up with the sword on a mount and insantly put the sword in then die and still get the siege tower. 3v3 is also awful it needs more players feels like it has a good shell just needs the meat

I want to leave a truly honest review because I dont know if some of these reviews are outdated or they just werent playing properly but I love this game me and my partner got it and havent been able to stop playing, the way it gives you full reign over your village and you truly feel like youre rebuilding civilization one villager at a time. A lot of the reviews say the AI is buggy etc but I havent ran into any of that I have 2 settlements one completely built theyve never ran into doors or walls they dont bug out between tasks they actually follow their schedule as long as you give them a nice area to work with. Ive played a lot of settlement build games and this is honestly one of the most impressive i have ever seen, The building system does take a while to get the hang of and is a little clunky at times and could use some refinement but i really like the foundations and potential it has. This being said i will list some things that I think need improving incase those things matter a lot for you

-better graphics: I feel like the optimization isnt bad my pc handles it smoothly but the graphics and animations can definitely use a polish
-better organization: I think it has a good start of storage but i would prefer if the warehouses werent so basic its just adding 3 squares together to make more storage i would prefer if there was underground storage of something and priority for items going inside specific boxes
-tweaked stats: I think the hunger is way to low and i should get hungry more often but i also think the fires need to burn slower I find its been very tedious and time consuming for my villagers to refuel literally everything all the time.
-basic events: the events are pretty boring theyre just random pve events where like 4 zombies come to attack or 1 bear it gets repetitive I would love to see some events where a wondering trader comes by or something that just adds some diversity
-honestly my biggest criqitue is this game NEEDS to have villagers repopulate, its very annoying just standing waiting 40 mins for 2 villagers, If I give families dedicated cottages they should be able to add to my population
-more progression: I really like that everything has its own skill rating but for the love of god i was really hoping i could invest those levels but I think it just makes you faster at doing that task, I would really like them to add a progression tree or something to the different skills.

this game has immense potential comparable only to rimworld and will probably age like fine wine, i cant even believe its early access the NPC's AI is insanely innovative COMPARED to other games villager AI. it truly feels like i have real time fully operating villages that are self suffiecent, if you like cozy builder games to coop with your friends definitely buy this game, its a truly unique experience that no other game has and its only going to get better with every update. the only thing relating to unplayability is that it makes other games unplayable I dont ever want to touch another game after playing this one

I opened the game for the first time in 2 years to give it a chance again but found out it no longer supports linux because of its anti cheat i hot swapped to windows to play it and then it proceeded to disconnect me constantly from matches because of its terrible servers then gave ME a penalty for "leaving" if your anticheat is so sophisticated that it cant be put on to linux maybe it shouldnt be so unstable. Clearly just more EA slop

game very poorly optimized. If you dont put it on a M.2 SSD it just wont load, And the pulls are very sparse. Not to mention 120GB is insane for a gotcha game

game is so garbo, firstly the starter decks are bad unless you go something super cheesy and not fun even then you still have to edit the decks. secondly and definitely the worst thing about this game is the fact that you stare at a screen for half the game because people either take 5 years to pass their response or they try to wait you out and force you to concede by just being annoying and drawing out the match its super not fun and unsportsmans-like you would think there was a punishment for people who purposely dont do anything to make you sit there for 5 years waiting for a response but no there isnt they get rewarded with an EXTRA time limit. in chess if you run out of time you run out of time. I dont understand why this game allows people to troll and waste your time half my games i just concede because i dont want to sit there waiting for no response at all.
