Come and say hi!

I can still remember when the geologists found something they'd do a backflip and shout woo hoo 😊
That was in the 90's, it's good to know that they're still making Settlers all these years later.

This new Settlers 'game' is...
1) 100% the result of a developer (Ubisoft) 100% IGNORING all that was good about the previous games...
2) 100% the developer IGNORING EVERY fan and purchaser of those previous games, and instead...
3) Producing something which has been so dumbed down as to render this nothing more than suitable for someone at kindergarten.
4) According to director Christian Hagedorn, the team had to redesign the game as the gameplay systems they originally designed were overcomplicated --> THAT'S(!!!) about as fkn braindead an attitude as it gets, an attitude becoming more and more widespread with today's devs.

setters 4 3d remake please. You can add more building types or whatever research extras. But I want classic massive armies. and mass production. And wizards / preists. Love that mana idea in it too.

heya, did you play any of the other settlers games? Which ones did you like best?

[SpirosKiriakopoulos]

I started yesterday. As a Crusader Kings, and Anno 1800 player, this is too oversimplified. But dont get me wrong, its S O beautiful and cosy plus is a nice game generally that I enjoy very very much! <3

Nice review. Short but to the point, I like it.
Are there similiar games that you can recommend to play handheld on the Switch, that are good to just play around 1 hour at a time before going to bed?
I liked playing the settlers on PC years ago, but also games like Roller Coaster Tycoon (the one on Switch does not appeal to me like the original on PC did).

After I tried settlers 7 I gave up on them

This is gettin really bad reviews for console.. especially skirmish mode

[Jakegraham]

As a civ 6 fan, will this seem familiar?

[therazor]

Would you say it’s like age of empires?

[Pipo_Gaming]

how comparable to age of empires is it?

[fredreed]

So this new version has no free mode or sandbox mode is that right?

[ryanwitt]

I’ve been really enjoying the game going through the story and sometimes AI skirmishes. Like you said it’s stunning to look at and feels great on console definitely is slower paced . Not really for a competitive style of play but it’s oddly relaxing to play in my free time just building up and fighting 😊

I’d buy this game if it was more woke and only had trans or nonbinary characters. Pretty disgraceful they have binary characters at all.

[lloydtancred]

Game is awful - don’t play, this is basically a paid for advert

[mooseface]

This is a horrible RTS game and all it has going for itself is "pretty" pretty pictures. Is Matty a bought and paid for reviewer

[garyhall]

tell me you have never played a settlers game without telling me you have never played a settlers game
