Great for newbies, great for veterans, and a perfect remaster of the original game! I would have recommended it sooner but I wanted to be sure the later levels continued to meet expectations.

The devs really did a beautiful job with the artworks and new music, the entirety of the remaster is so true to the original game that I constantly feel nostalgic and familiar at every turn. The new UI certainly takes some getting used to but it was clearly designed with intent, the new placement and categories are all logical; veterans be warned you will need to retrain your muscle memory!

The tutorial really surprised me with how much more indepth it is for newer players, while also pointing out key differences between the original and the remaster for veterans to get acquainted with. This remaster truly feels like a labour of love and I'm so happy the Devs chose to embrace what made Pharaoh beloved, instead of just """improving""" it.

Some key differences to keep an eye out for is the ability to rotate ALL buildings (which is nice for temples), new artworks and variety for beautification, and POINT AND CLICK COMBAT REMOVED ENTIRELY, it's now just a skippable simulation. A surprising change, but IMO Pharaoh is more about the monuments and cities anyway!

An adorable treat worth taking a night off to submerge yourself with. Very "short and sweet".

Comfortable visuals and sounds, very satisfying "combat", cute characters and a wonderful story. The dialogue and childlike imagination is all very fun, with just the occasional moments of absurdity that hit so unexpectedly well. I first played this privately, then again during a livestream and everyone I've shared it with have adored the underlying message, execution and humor. Even just breaking the cardboard is fun!

It's the greatest abusive relationship ever.
