Has anybody played Foundation, the medieval city builder? Looking for a laidback game

  I have! It is very laid-back, but I also found it to be a bit lacking in content. That was like a year ago though, and it’s my understanding that they’ve added a lot more to the game since I played.

  I haven’t played it, but I just added it to my wish list. Another you might like, rimworld, but change it’s storyteller settings to peaceful.

    I didn’t know Rimworld had a peaceful setting, thanks!

      You can also mod RimWorld a lot too! There is a really popular modpack for medieval playthrough

      Sometimes we need a break from the war crimes.

      Yeah you can choose a different settings for your world. The insanity is fun to read about, but building peacefully is very addicting.

  I really like farthest frontier which is chill if you turn off bandits and stuff. Its not finished yet, but i have sunk hours and hours in regardless. If you haven’t looked at it, do.

  Played it about a year ago when it was still in EA. AFAIK, the full release will be in a couple of weeks and there is a demo, which you can test ATM.

  Imo this game is perfect for people who want to build a village/town and manage your economy without the hassle of attacks or else. There are some events like bad weather but almost every time it’s not that big of a deal. Last time I played, I had multiple bugs where the economy stopped working which started a spiral downwards. But this was a year ago. Oh and I forgot to mention, this game has already a pretty big mod library.

  $40 for an early access game? That’s pushing it, imo. To me that means it’s a $50/$60 game at release.

  Maybe I’m still privileged from the KSP model years ago though.

    I pirate games that seem interesting to me when they come out of EA and if I vibe with it after 5-10 hours I make the purchase. It’s like playing a demo.

      Yeah i agree with that practice.
      It’s actually very bad for a game to be refunded. Id rather demo it than do that to a dev.

  I haven’t played Foundation, but since you’re looking for laid-back and medieval, there’s a really cozy looking game I want to try called Tiny Glade that apparently has no objectives. It seems to be a pure sandbox game.

  Plus, if you like supporting devs who use smaller/less-well-known engines, this one runs on Bevy, a small Rust-based engine!

    Going by the lets-plays ive watched, it’s very much a sandbox, and not really a game. It’s potentially very cosy though
