Very nice city builder with interesting and pretty different mechanics. I read some complaints about the AI being bad, but having played the northern scenario to the end, I can say, the only times the villagers starved or froze to death, was when I sent them too far away during the winter. There is no prioritizing tasks, apart from setting a higher priority to workstations, and you cannot assign specific villagers to a task (like in Rimworld for example), apart from hunting. Instead you have to keep the overall workload at a level that doesn´t exhaust your people, and everything will work fine then.

I rly like the prehistorical theme, which is done quite accurately and the ability to follow your villagers in 3rd person zoomed in view and watch them go about their daily lives. There are several scenarios in vanilla and a lot more in the workshop. The UI is very well done imo, always very important to me in these types of games, since you look at your panels a lot. In this case they look nice and are self-explanatory, plus you can adjust which toolbars you want to be visible, a very nice touch.

Depending on the scenario you will have a chilled or more challenging experience, graphics look nice and I even left the music on all the time while playing, since it´s very fitting and non-intrusive.

The only thing I´d wish for, was that the game would continue on further in history, maybe in a part 2, or a dlc?
