    A true gem. It's a breezy, easy-to-play game that will leave you wondering where the hours went. With such a beautifully refined title now under its belt, it's hard to see how Sunflower will top it.
  2. Once you get used to the level of detail and the specific German interface, (right mouse button, right!) and really get into the beautiful surroundings and music and the fantastic feeling of conquering a new world, there is no end to fun.
  3. The gameplay is fun, and while I wouldn't go so far as to say addicting, is still engrossing because of the exploration aspects.

    What it actually does is establish a higher degree of trial and error and experimentation. Unfortunately, that may turn of newcomers of the genre to this title.
