Dorfromantik

Fortunately, Dorfromantik is set up in such a perfect way it’s effortlessly offered me a much-needed reprieve from all of the things that have been weighing heavily on me, and for that alone, I can't recommend the game enough. Also with that in mind, I strongly recommend the game to anyone who might be going through something, or who struggles with anxiety like I do.

Overall, Dorfromantik is definitely recommended for players who admire puzzles and architecture. Either you have a peaceful time creating random cities or get stressed in pushing yourself in topping the leaderboards while building an optimized city.

I won’t argue that Dorfromantik seems to meet its vision and philosophy quite well. If there’s feedback I can actually give it, it’s that I’d love to see more variation in tiles. There are “biomes” that you can find by branching out far enough, but these merely change the colors of the trees, ground, and houses.
