This game surprised me. First of all, I hadn't even heard of it until a few weeks before relase. When I then heard it was a combination of four of my most played games: Valheim, Medieval Dynasty, Mount & Blade and Rimworld, I was intrigued.

Then I read all the cautionary comments from Last Oasis players warning of grifting developers. After watching videos, I still decided to go ahead and buy the game.

So far, I am fully enjoying my time. I love the combination of exploring and managing the settlement and slowly expanding my borders. In so many ways, it feels like a labour of love. It also feels like the game I dreamed about playing as a kid playing Age of Empires II and dreaming I was one of the villagers, helping out making the village work.

So far, my only real gripe with the game is the optimization. Considering my computer can play Kingdom Come: Deliverance and other such games at fairly good settings, it's a bit disappointing that I have to lower my settings to the low-medium to make this game run without stutters. I hope this will improve with future optimizations.

But to anyone who always dreamed of running your own little village while still being "on the ground" with your companions - this is probably the best such game I've played.
