seeding ideas into the clans sounded like a really good premise what a shame it's a bit shallow and doesnt change much.

Naming the man human Hue is a little on the nose lol

[triniraper]

everything seemed to be ok till the human came along

I like this reviewers ability to say something is horrendous followed by something else being phenomenal

[TheShadesOfBlack]

This game was so heartbreaking for me. It’s so gorgeous and the simulation ideas are incredible but the core gameplay loop falls so flat that I have no inclination to keep playing

[eulucaspedroabreu]

I was watching loads of playthrough, let´s play and gameplay videos, and still unsure if it would meet the potential I set from what I saw.
It happens that this review clarifies exactly my deepest concerns. Hoped that the battle engagement would grow in its complexity and therefore difficulty. Hoped also that helping a specific village to grow would be a crucial part of the strategy and essential to their survival (who knows they could get too greedy and powerful at the mid-end game and the humans with the other races unite forces to battle them). Despite all these "must-haves" for me, I'll still play it and support it. I hope and wish Pine could get another shot with even more races and these implementations I've mentioned.

love this game it some how managed to hook into the fable nostagia and the soundtrack while short is epic

[benflashman]

Since my attention span isn't long, this video was perfect for me :)

"Incredible idea falling short of its potential" appears to be the common theme among most of these indie games. Maybe it's the lack of experience or lack of resources.

[sexycavetroll]

seems like this review is a direct contrast to the steam reviews

[Naegimaggu]

What a great, concise review. Well done.

[unvergebeneid]

Sad, it seems this game came close to being something _really_ special!

[Atoll-okzm]

Pine. It had a very strong opening section, then a few hours later it reveals its true nature. Bland and flat gameplay in an unfinished world. Good ideas, bad execution. But hey at least the music is good.

[americantoastman]

Oh shit, other content besides Yahtzee :D I really enjoy this series, keep it up!

[kaydesign]

It’s build by 7(!) students in the Netherlands. A impressive accomplishment.

[allisknu]

Great detailed review. Saved me some money. Wallet's happiness +

[ButtonDash]

it seems like it has a lot of potential... it's free on epic tomorrow and I will pick it up. I wonder if there was updates to the game since release to improve it?

[funkyflights]

It’s 4.99 on the switch right now on sale … Worth it ?

[rollingtroll]

Now free on Epic Game Store. Sad that it wasn't a better game, it looks amazing.

[JustJulyo]

What a shame since I was really looking forward to this when it was announced and the got delayed.

Maybe when it gets a deep discount would I consider it
