Manor Lords,

Looks, feels and plays like a love child of a video game between Banished & Total War.
Build a village, watch it grow and defend said village from bandits and or the AI Lord.
And therein lies the playable challenge, for it is easier said than done.

Though the game is still in early development, it already looks very promising.
And thus there is no doubt in my mind that in time, it will eventually grow into a true jewel of a game that will be enjoyed by many for many years to come.

So yeah, buy, play and have fun!.

As mentioned by many others, this game is like 3D rimworld combined with the Sims.
Though i was never into the Sims or rimworld, this game however really is to my liking.

Maybe it is the scifi themed base building, the resource gathering, the different worlds where you can play on each with their own unique flora and fauna, the diffrent stories you can pick each with their own theme, or just simply how the game looks and feels.

Yeah i admit it, i'm addicted to this game right now.
So i highly recommend it, worth every penny!.

Commanding Nations looks and feels like C&C Generals, which is a big plus in my book.

The game is still far from finished, but for now it does look promising.
So if you are an RTS fan be sure to keep an eye on this game.

Best early access game ever!.

The world of Valheim is a huge, like really really huge viking themed survival game, so there is plenty to do.
You will encounter many different creatures during your grand adventure, discovering the many different plains each with their own flora and fauna.

Plus this game offers you to build your own little base in the form of a hut, house, a huge farm, a palace, or whatever you can think of. which is a big plus in my book.

If i have to think of one negative thing about this game, is that it is best played with friends, since single player can feel a little bit loney at times.
But then again this game is still far from finished, so who knows they might add some more NPC's in the game to interact with.

Though i'm not much of a survival game player, i must say that Valheim has earned a little place in my heart.
So i highly recommend this game!.

If you ever feel like underlining human superiority over some tree hugging aliens in a sadistic way, by crushing their puny hopes and dreams by stamping on them with a modified Imperial AT-ST walker armed with "war of the worlds" like death rays.
All for the glory of the great Terran Empire.... uhm, I mean saving the human race while getting praised and rewarded for it?.

Or if that sounds to "conservative",..
Ever feel like betraying your own race by joining a bunch of spear throwing blue purple Ewoks in the name of tolerance, diversity and inclusivity, in order to save your own race?. (yeah sounds like the plot from Avatar, i know.)

Well then be sure to give this game a try.

The game is like Starcraft meets Command & Conquer in space, different factions, buildings and unit options, each unique to their own faction, minor factions, etc.
Story mode is somewhat simple like it is in most RTS games, but the muliplayer and skirmish options sure make up for that one.

Also despite the fact that this game has been around for 7 years and counting, the developers continue to support and update the game.
Another thing that keeps this game alive is the fact that the base game is highly suited for mods, and yes there are many like a Star Wars, Star Gate, Battlestar Galactica, and my personal favorite Star Trek Armada III mod.

So if you are a fan of RTS and scifi games, than this game is a must have for you.

What can i say, just like with ZUP 1 and ZUP 2 this game is cheap, simple, and fun to play.
And ofcourse an easy way of building up some achievements for one's profile.

A cheap, simple, fun game, and an easy way of building up some achievements for one's profile.

Now this is what a RTS game should be, base building, army building, fast paced action, no BS, and ofcourse lots and lots of fun.
This game made me feel like how i felt when i was a little kid playing the Command & Conquer titles, like Red Alert 2, Yuri's revenge, and Tiberian Sun.

I missed that feeling, and i'm happy that this game gave me back that feeling of childhood joy.
Hence i highly recommend this game to anyone who is an RTS fan like me, and/or has a sense of nostalgia for the old C&C type games that EA games destroyed and took away from us.
