This is a game where you can have a few beers and laugh while the people die because you cant take care of them. Then subsequently rate it 5 stars LOL
Food spoilage is a cool mechanic, but, at 5:11 in to this video, a prompt shows honey being lost to spoilage.
Thousands year old honey has been found, unspoiled and still edible. Honey doesn't typically spoil.
It does have antibacterial properties, however, and can be applied to wounds to speed healing.
That is very true.... What did the NPCs put into the honey to spoil it?!
@@georgemardari6568 put honey pot on bottom shelf and berries with mold and rot fell into it :)
@@georgemardari6568 pee.
There's a medieval city builder called Foundation that I like. It's still in early access and still needs some work. One thing I like about it is that it's not on a grid. When you place a building you have 360 degrees of rotation and can move it around pixel by pixel. Paths are formed by people walking directly where they want to go and people tend to follow existing paths. You don't build houses but you paint residential zones and your builders build houses as needed. It has a bunch of other mechanics I haven't seen in other games as well.
Like that too, although development is pretty glacial.
im so used to jank graphics in city builders that seeing how nice this game looks caught me completely off guard lol.
Yeah it’s really quite nice, and the seasonal changes are a pretty neat feature. I enjoy the look very much
same.
This sounds exactly what I have been waiting for decades now. I always hated games like this where you build something by just plopping it down; folding your arms; and blinking. And having a magical mana of food production was always face palming too. This looks so realistic yet has good game mechanics behind it too. Architecture, carpentry, food processing and storage, all were always super important in all colonies in history.
Check out Ostriv if you want something else like this as well. Progress is slow on it right now(made by single Ukrainian dev) but it's still very good.
Check out rimworld if u wana overlook the graphics
I've beta-tested the developers games previously and know their team well. "This sounds exactly what I have been waiting for decades now." is exactly why they decided to branch into this genre. They felt there was a lot of untapped potentials and it hasn't been done very differently in a long while now.
I'm excited for this one simply because of how much I loved Grim Dawn, however I will wait for the full release. I've had too many early access experiences where I end up getting burned out before the full release and I never actually play the final polished version.
My first time watching your review. Loved it! Very informative and well done.
A seriously well produced work; Kudos on the work behind this.
My first too and man this is professional 😉
Amazing review. Gonna be checking this one out! Thanks for being so thorough.
I’ve been playing this game with only a few hours sleep since it released. I do have some issues though. Mainly UI related
- Flip between similar buildings (E.g. foragers)
- Have an overview of travel time, work time, villagers info e.g. being idle and not working
- Have a larger overview of resources needed and lacking
First video of yours I've seen - very nicely done, thanks for the review. Looking forward to grabbing this tomorrow.
Thanks for the balanced review. It's nice to hear some of what you don't like as well. I am interested in the game, but a little scared by the "early access" aspect. Glad to hear you say that it's pretty polished as is. I'll keep an eye on it.
Crate Entertainment are just a great bunch of people doing an excellent job and listening to their community.
There is only one thing so far i would criticize, some animations could be improved, for example the firewood production looks a bit weird because the cut wood is just vanishing and warping.
However, this game starts in Early Access.
For its price it is worth it, replayability is good as you learn new mechanics that you can implemented on your next play, restarting map is not that frustrating, there's are quite a tons of detailed and complicated mechanics implemented that need more practice and playing to get it right. The game is beautiful but can be a bit tedious since you are rewarded more with more micro management to fine tune your settlement. Building your settlement involved a lot more around strategy that pure aethestic since raiders are quite a problem specially at higher difficulty, you need to plan ahead on your design so as not to waste valuable resources and time adjusting and moving your buildings. In terms of quantity of contents it doesn't have that much but like I said there are a lot of complicated and complex mechanics which adds to more playtime and replayability, in the long run hopefully with more quantity of content this game could be a truly great game.
I liked that some things are locked. It actually makes the marketplace essential and it's gives you some nice dopamine when a trader finally comes with something you've longed for.
8:10 wait a minute....
honey doesn't spoil; what is this!?
I've been keeping an eye on this title since I saw it pop up in Steam before it released in Early Access. I'm gonna wait for now until there's a bit more polish and pop before I dive into the rabbit hole of buying and playing. But I'm definitely excited to see where it goes from here.
The second I saw Crate Entertainment it was a buy for me. Grim Dawn was amazing and they deserve the praise. Looking forward to trying this one out. Been a while since I've played a city builder.
I love FF! It could do with a few enhancements but overall feels pretty polished. An insert map allowing you to quickly jump to any area on the playing map would be handy. I agree it can be tedious clicking on say individual trees to be cut. I have no problem with iron limited to trade prior to obtaining a foundry. You can acquire a lot of gold and necessary food via the trading screen which is one of the best innovations IMO. So looking forward to planned enhancements. Hope railroads make an apperance along with other 19 century tech.
Having this game played up to 400 citizens I got to say - it is not only fair review but you have also provided LIFE SAVING tip (increased desirability --> houses level up-->more money from taxing and more people in the houses --> Town Centre level up --> new pruduction buildings) alnog with couple of very useful beginners tips.
Well done, mister!
I wish the game had more war mechanics some other kingdoms to trade with more and more terrain and ages like add muskets kinda like age of warfare to see your city grow and watch them progress
Great commentary looking forward to viewing more of your content.
I've been waiting for a proper follow up to Shining Rock Software's Banished. Can't wait to give this a shot!
I starved my first village during Winter cause i planted all my fields in clover thinking it would provide food. But yes I agree the challenges are fun. I never played town survival games but this is fun. Having a mob of villagers fighting the raiders was funny though...
Awesome video! Just wondering, is it possible to have villagers walk at a normal pace? Or were you using some kind of fast forward option?
I see a lot of very fast walking.
Also, what fps dit you hit, on what resolution with what hardware? Thanks!
I spent most of the game at 3x. You can ABSOLUTELY take it a 1x speed or even .5x speed. I'm running on a pretty pumped out machine, didn't experience any issues other than that freeze I mentioned in the video
Just on this one, I've chatted to the Devs about it at length. The simple answer is...your villagers always move somewhat quickly but they've reduced their speed recently and will monitor this with EA feedback.
This reminds me a lot of RimWorld haha. For me, playing RimWorld on a tribal start and/ or playing a medeival run is the funnest because you face the same challenges, like food acquisition and food storage. Similarly if you play in the boreal forest biome you have to prepare for autumn/ winter where things can't grow. Likewise, you're attacked by animals and by raiders.
one of the hard bottleneck is the heavy tools. You can't make heavy tools unless you first buy it from a random trader. If you get a bad roll and never get the trader, you will never progress pass a certain point.
Did you let the devs know :D?
Looks good, I'll have to add to my list to check out someday, but in the process of moving so probably not a good time to get into a new 4x game lol...I end up playing for days at a time.
Well-constructed analysis, thank you! Keep it up bro!
I was hoping they will go for free placement but they went for grid instead. Other than that, this game seems really interesting.
Grim Dawn and Titan Quest still get updates. I Look forward to play it next week
Still love and miss black and white for this genre. Nothing has compared for me
I wish they had spent more time creating dynamic AI than fiddling with the needlessly complex and time-consuming crop system. I personally wanted less economic min-maxing and micro management and more focus on the needs/aspirations of your citizens. It doesn't feel like it adds anything meaningful to the genre. Songs of Styx is similar but on a far grander scale and actually presents meaningful QOL improvements and depth to NPC systems. @legacy gaming you should check that one out.
Been checking out this game. your video review has sold me on the game......good job. I enjoyed dawn of man and was looking at banished but this game is the one I'll try next :)
Finally a good Banished successor. The only thing I was missing in Banished was raids and this game has all that Banished was missing
I'm getting Knights and Merchant vibes. Looking forward to it!!!
My pet peeve is the Windmill that unlocks at Tier 2 but you need Tier 3 mats to build it.
Duuude, I bought the Early Access, and I have been able to play it for 30+ hours in less than a week! No game has made me play it that much. And this game is still in Early Access, imagine how much more entertainment we can receive when it's fully released!
hey man you have an excellent way of presenting things. got my Sub :)
for an early access game its good. one of the challenging city builders out there.. at least for me.
Thank you. You have helped me make a well informed buying decision.
First time seeing one of your videos. Great job!
I remember trying to build a shack to get some herbs to make soap and none of my builders would build the damn thing, had a road going there and everything. Then they built it and within a year the dude in the shack got bit and had rabbies and died lmao
Banished is my go-to game when I have some free time to cool off. I may give this game a try, seem like an upgrade to my good old game.
Great review, got me interested. Grim Dawn was a great time so I'll have to give it a try.
Just out of curiosity. Can a player shares his well built city through a save file?
i still cant figure it out, is this like age of empires manually controlling units or automatic like cities skylines
This looks like a version of "banished" with better graphics. I am all in for that! New game to start my 2 week vacation with. Woot!
This game is way to complicated for me to play, but it is so much fun to watch
I highly advise Urbek then, it's a more casual builder, also EA, but very refreshing imo. It has a grid system, it is colourful and 3d bit-like graphics, so if you're into that you might like it.
Just bought this because of your convincing video. Cheers. Well done.
Great game, enjoy!
5:11 sounded good until I saw that honey spoils… it doesn’t. Honey is a preservative.
The GrimDawn dev never disappoints
Thoughts on this verse Manor Lords?
I’m so hyped I hope they add live stock to it
there are cows to graze alrdy ^^
@@Sxxmaschine helll yesss thanks for telling me
I’m sure they’ll add others in EA such as sheep, pigs, chickens… Optimising livestock would be interesting and give your villagers more variety in their Sunday lunches!
oh fck yes it is worth my time i cannot wait for the release after watching some gameplays :)
Food spoilage - 7 honey ? How many years went past , 100 ?
"you vs you' - The audacity that a dev would put me in my own single player world! XD I applaud them focusing on that experience vs trying to build in multiplayer features that potentially lessen the experience
And eats away at development resources... a lot of us just want to play a game and not deal with other people on occasion. Solitaire was popular for a reason.
@@wgreiter Ugh..."other people" ... ^^ Looking forward to this one, although i´ve never played something like this. But I know Crate. So ... we´ll see.
@@Yethmaybee That's not to say it can't be done... there are a number of examples where a developer can bolt on co-op/multiplayer and maintain a top notch single player experience. Divinity OS2 comes to mind. But I feel developers have lately relied heavily on multiplayer to gloss over traditional gameplay mechanics and form, such as storyline, early/late game balance, AI neglected/ignored or just overall cohesion. Just build a skeleton of a game, make it multiplayer and profit. Me personally, when I see a new game being promoted for it's multiplayer experience, I avoid it. I've missed out on Valheim, for instance. I'm not sure what kind of games you play... but I can say for sure Farthest Frontier is not going to be action packed, it does look very promising for it's niche-genre though.
One of the best reviews of the game I've seen so far.
Gonna download it tonight
Want a city builder that advances through technology and time, like Civilization does.
Crate is one of the best devs out there. I have no interest in city builders, but the quality and care Crate put into Grim Dawn says you should buy this if you enjoy the genre.
It's good that I enjoy city builder games anyway but I would buy it regardless to support the Grim Dawn devs. Looks like another quality game from these devs.
Main Question, please.
IS there anything resembling Late-Game? - I love Banished and have many playthroughs, but am always saddened by the lack of late-game achievements. Is there anything to show that you've accomplished something beyond watching that pop-count climb? Games like City Skylines do not suffer from this, as their intricacies compound and you can spend hours just fixing the traffic/transit system, but Banished really fell into auto-pilot.
The graphics in this are amazing..
i had a bug where my fields crops would rot on the firelds because farmers could not see them.... that was a turnoff, my city was late game already and i realised it just then.
The game is easy btw.
Any combat footage? I didnt like some of the fighting I saw after walls go up. looked like bandits just stood in line and ran into the wall lol
realy love banished, so i hope i gonna love this.
This man is a man of culture. Frostpunk is an amazing game for real.
This is the best review of this game by far. thank you
I just don't see how anyone can make a bad review about that game. It is great!
P.S.: CODIAK, FF is so much better that Stronghold, there's no even a room for comparison, imo :)
How hard and complex would you say is Farthest Frontier compared to Banished? Is it pretty similar or is it harder in farthest frontier to maintain a city than in banished?
I’m a huge banished fan, so i appreciate the comparison. I’d say it’s on par with Banished, excelling in some areas, while being limited in others that Banished gets right. The priority system is one of them. I also find that banished does a much better job giving you the ability to pull up info panels and keep them on screen without getting intrusive. That being said I think the overall experience in FF is more interesting top to bottom
@@LegacyGamingUS Thanks for the reply. I`m also a huge Banished fan and so I`m happy to hear its similar to it. Priority system could be something they might improve during EA stage if we are lucky.
Nice to see the spoilage of food stocks mechanic,
buuut HONEY?? 5:12
will i like this game if i like Caesar, tropico, stardew, graveyard keeper?
I loved your video, thank you for sharing !!!
Thanks for watching!
@@LegacyGamingUS of course yall are fair and balanced, and it seems that yalls likes and dislikes are very similar to my own.... keep up the amazing work
Love this game
do the people always run everywhere?
Holy shit, they really just made Banished 2.
reminds me a lot of Banished
banished 2.0 maybe?
How does this video have so few views, when you have 300k subs?
People don't know what they're missing.
it is not listed, only those who have the link can see it
I feel like this is the completed version of Dawn of Men. Promising.
you should try out ostriv
Some of the mechanics appear to be similar to medieval dynasty
Managed to raise 9 months worth of food, then got raided. Half my population starved after the raiders stole all my food and gold right before winter. Tough break lol
i see my self playing this Game 500h plus.
excellent Video btw
I was born in Humblefields
Bruh, honey cant spoil... 5:10
The wait was worth it. 💯%
we need black & white 2 for steam best sim city ever lol
I appreciate this video as I've had this on my wish list and now I know it's not for me. Thanks.
Looks like a more advanced Banished.
Fair assessment. Not a perfect evolution of the game, but I get it
The game is insane BUT when they can add the element to fight against people (like in Settlers) this woulbe be simply the game of 2022. But really.
When i get this game, ill start with Hard mode. See how i fair.
Food Lost to Spoilage- 7 Honey
Um, I dont think so......
When you say mentally prepared, those that are not mentally prepared are not going to understand what your meaning is.
It means stupid! So, you're saying every developer must make their game accessible to idiots.
Fantastic game, but the lag is so annoying.
intro says payed advertisement all over it
Basic law around advertisements on CZcams says you're wrong lol.
Yep complex but strangely easier then Banish. To bad my system chokes on this game.
Honey dont spoillll
Sounds a lot like what Banished wanted to be.
They feel like different games, albeit loosely connected. I was an avid Banished player, but unless you use a ton of mods it gets stale really quick. FF feels a lot more polished, albeit still not incredibly deep. Needs more content and some refinement of its existing content, but it’s definitely got potential.
4:51 come at me but dudes beard is way off...
XD
Differentiators? Keep up dumbing down!
