But it's so stressful. Like the main scenario I tried to save everybody, then the game throws 43 children my way... I have to admit, took three minutes to decide what to do. It's very pretty, and the loop is great, I love management games, but this one just hits differently. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's the beauty: you have to make the tough choices for the greater good and future of the town. I've been playing a dozen hours a week for a few months and finally have somewhat of a feel for how to start building the town at the beginning so it doesn't screw me over later. I initially didn't like it when I got it for free on Epic, now it's one of my favorite games. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] msage@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago I bought it, because I saw some recommendations. I even played some on my Steam Deck. But the PC experience is the best, though I moved to OpenTTD after the first scenario. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Towerofpain11@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Agreed. Visually beautiful and morally hard. So difficult to save everyone but I loved it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago I got it through a giveaway and when I was going to start playing, my cat died and it was just too heavy for me at that frame of mind. It's been a couple of years now, though. I should give it another go. permalink fedilink source parent
