GamesRadar+ Verdict

For all the interesting and novel things that Gord brings to the city building genre, it's just not coherent nor determined enough in what it's trying to do to create something with the necessary confidence to compete with the countless options available to genre fans these days. The result is a game with a strong start and a compelling world, but one that c꧋annot build upon those st𝔍rengths to retain interest over each new settlement and its repetitive gameplay.

Pros

  • +

    Unique sanity resource

  • +

    Rich world and deep lore building

  • +

    Decent survival challenge

Cons

  • -

    A lot of repetition with little variety

  • -

    City building and rܫesource manage🏅ment is its weakest aspect
