“I will not trash this game as other's have done. I will offer my review as I see the game. Some of the economy mechanics are repetitive and eventually should (IMHO) be automated or allowed to "set and forget". For example, the sacrifices…”Recommended · Steam review · Sep 2025 · 26 h played

“So I've never played Anno (haven't bought a Ubisoft game since Splinter Cell 1 or 2, back in 2004), but I have played a good amount of Paradox grand strategy, Tropico, Simcity etc. For me, this is a novel and fresh game. Some reviewers say…”Recommended · Steam review · Sep 2025 · 19 h played

“This is a very good mythos / eldritch / Cthulhu game in its own right. It's a one of a kind. There are no other strategy games that I'm aware of that incorporate almost every aspect of Lovecraftian horror. I really, really wish that they…”Recommended · Steam review · Feb 2026 · 10 h played

“This is one of those games that i wish steam had a star rating system in stead of just good/bad. Its a decent game and ultimately im going to recommend it. That being said its short for story mode. 30 hours in and ive done it all and I…”Recommended · Steam review · May 2026 · 31 h played
