Familiar

I've played several games with the same idea: Dawn of Man and Banished come to mind. They have very similar mechanics. Manor Lords is a beautiful, much more polished version of the two games mentioned. What it does, it does really well. The progression, while slow even at max speed, feels rewarding. It just doesn't introduce meaningful mechanics that I haven't tried before. It's still in early access, so this review is a work-in-progress and I'll continue to until the game is fully launched.
