90. The Promised Land (PC)
HvYoAOj.jpg

The Promised Land is about a group of settlers. It's not a super deep story. You're basically colonizing the land and searching for some things and making the place a nice little place to be while fulfilling your goals.


In this game, you will receive goals you have to fulfill and also some little people that you will assign tasks. Each person has something they love and hate doing. Putting them on a task they hate will make them much slower, and putting them on one they love will be faster. Eventually they will become specialists in a certain area if you keep them there long enough. There's lots of things you need to make sure they do, like gather food, lumber, ores, research, build houses, etc. You also have to make sure they eat, and heal them if they're sick. One you assign someone their task, they will continue doing it until they break for food or until you switch them or until they run out of supplies. A few other reasons but you get the idea. There's also an angry birds type mini game with the ships.

This is the only Steam game I've bought that I am actually happy I bought. I mean the others I'm okay with, but I barely played them and moved on. This game is super fun, though. You really start to care about your little worker bees and I started assigning them personalities and back stories. It's kind of addictive. I'm always like “10 more minutes” and I'll be playing for an hour and then I HAVE to stop because my computer sucks and it will shut down the game after too long. I'd say a fault is the difficulty. Not that it's difficult, but just that there will be certain points where things will get really hard and then suddenly they will be too easy and you kind of have nothing to do. But overall a really fun game and I'm glad I got Steam just for it.


Later today, we will get in to the 80's
