Manor Lords Early Access Review - This will be amazing when finished.

This game is so good at what it does I literally think it would be near impossible to screw it up between early access and full release.

Genuinely wish i had the desire and attention span for a city builder

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Something I never touched on in the review, mainly because I did cover it in my last Manor lords video is the sheer immersion that you get from play the game. Things like raising an army of farmers, bakers, blacksmiths, berry pickers etc and marching in formation with them for miles to a battle. After the battle with bodies everywhere your men walk home and as they enter their province they disband and all walk back to their jobs in dribs and drabs, it looks awesome. Then you plant a tiny settlement, a tent and some basic rations and start a brand new colony, you defend it with your main army which could be miles away from the inevitable bandit attacks. It all comes together in such a cool way it’s impossible not to be impressed, I can’t wait for the full release, if the dev reads this please take your time :)

[@DevonWray]

Was very disappointed in this. If it was $20 then sure maybe worth a buy but its so barebones and buggy in current state. It makes me wonder if all these youtubers got a different version of the game than was released. I have no doubt if the developer sticks with it then it will be great one day but for $50 Canadian dollars this is definitely not worth a buy. Games like songs of syx are currently free (the demo is free and is the complete game just one version behind the most up to date) and provide far more content and updates than Manor Lords currently has. The game is vastly overhyped and I wish I had refunded the game after 2 hours before I locked in paying almost full price for a very early access title. Bit disappointed in Mac since he is my go-to guy for spending my hard earned dollars on games these days and I refuse to believe that he didn't notice the numerous issues with this game. It was a huge red flag when the developer refused to advertise the price before the game was available to buy.

[@dogspeeddestinations1780]

Ya the price seems a bit steep, especially here in Canada (everything is expensive, plus add tax to the online purchase). I'm trying to decide on either this or Ostriv (a game that mac previewed a few years back) which is alot less money and seems to have all the features (minus combat) that this game has.

[@luxiscarbonus]

Wow... Your words are word for word my exact thoughts. Gonna add one thing, though: good thing it didn't launch at 20 because I would of followed the hype and bought it. From what I've seen it IS really early early stages. Almost a showcase of what it will be. I might even buy it, but waaaay down the road.

[@darken2417]

The city inventory goods aspect could be fixed by having your lord have his own inventory. Like you needing to compensate the merchants for their stock of weapons before having the weapons sent out to the other town.

[@darken2417]

Ideally I'd like a more realistic setup where the lord's resources is split from the wider village resources. The lord getting his resources through contracts with his subjects or purchases. Ex: Choosing that the smiths give you gold or a portion of their weapons produced as their tax. The lord having to save up gold or stockpiling items like stone, or buying items from the village inventory in order to use these for "state" or personal projects like castles, walls, armies, and special buildings.

[@MrBurtbackerack]

Yeah yeah, I think we're all a little bored of seeing this exact same comment over and over in every video he posts

[@yarnosh]

This video is extremely generous with the game, even considering it's Early Access. Was disappointed to find so much lacking in the game. There absolutely are game breaking bugs. This game is not entirely playable as is. It does show great promise but there are a lot of core mechanics that still need fleshing out and balancing. It's not just missing advanced features. For example, keeping track of what jobs are currently being worked and moving people to where you need them is a nightmare. You start with 5 families (each count as a worker-unit). But there are maybe 10 different buildings they could potentially be working in. And if there's nothing to do at a building, they just idle with no warning or indication. You spend most of the game searching for idle workers so you can move them to something else. But there's no screen to actually see who is working where. You just have to hold TAB and scan the buildings for the ones that have workers, deallocate there, and allocate them in another building. But you have to leave some unassigned so anything can be built. It's so frustrating. And it's not entirely clear if certain jobs actually need a worker. Like do I absolutely need a storehouse worker? When? Does the hitching post need a worker to guide the ox? Seems not because anyone can do it, apparently, but it's an option. Why? And farming seems totally broken. My second year my crops just seemed to evaporate after/during harvesting, leaving me set for a very difficult winter. Trade is way more confusing than this video lets on. Like some things need dedicated trade routes, but others don't? Why? What do horses do, why do I need them? When do I need them? How do they help trade? The Marketplace in the game is also very confusing. Like do families just not get stuff they need if it isn't in the stalls? Who exactly is responsible for stocking the stalls in the marketplace? Is it the producer or the storehouse worker? It's frustrating to technically have the resources but the households won't use them unless they make it to the marketplace. They won't go to the storehouse/granary. And the approval rating. That just seems to shift arbitrarily. It will say +4 for food diversity one month and then +1 another even though my food types are the same. I'll have a ton of firewood but then houses will complain about no fuel. It makes no sense. It has something to do with marketplace stalls, but I don't know how or when they are stocked. Do they have to be manned to function? There's no marketplace job.

[@cgollimusic]

8:20 I disagree, I'm very excited how the game handles the trading between settlements. They tried to go for authenticity in how medieval settlements would function, so while gifting could be done and maybe they'll find a way to implement it later, I love the idea that by default the villages have to actually trade between eachother on what they need, even if you're their Lord. Because it doesn't put you into an almighty God of the lands and puts you into more of a managing, ruling entity instead.

[@GangsterFrankensteinComputer]

Exactly, it's feudalism, not fascism.

[@Kidraver555]

I thought the same, would be too simple otherwise and not rewarding.

[@WorthABuyreviews]

The way the game is at the moment it makes little to no difference as it's easy. When the Ai map opponents arrive it will be a totally unbalanced situation if they keep the barter system, it's not a simple case of here is 1 x flour give me 1 x sword, it is way harder than that to get a deal going, it took me an hour or real time just to get a few weapons as my starter town had hardly any resources to trade that were of value. So all I did was buy a shit load from the trader as I had plenty of money from selling berries, it made the bartering system utterly pointless. Money is easy to get in this game so why spent hours trying to barter with neighbours that will take ages to get you the weapons you need when you can buy them quickly from the traders. I am sure when they test this with map based Ai lords they will realise the current system is insufficient and will tweak it.

[@cgollimusic]

@@WorthABuyreviews ah I see the problem. I feel like that might come down to balancing with prices then? They just need to make it more viable to trade between your villages as it is now, and make it more expensive to import from elsewhere.

Man, I really like your reviews, but I have to disagree with you on this one. I think you were far too charitable. This game should NOT be sold for 30$ right now. The amount of content in this is almost nothing, and all it has is the hope of being an interesting game. But is certainly not one now. 30$ for this is just crookery. And if i have to hear one more person say, "IT WAS MADE BY ONE GUY OVER 7 YEARS" I don't think he put a good amount of time into the game if that was the case. Banished was far more groundbreaking and fun, and a better city builder.

[@yarnosh]

And $30 is a "sale." It's insane how much slack we give indie/Early Access developers. If a regular publisher, not even AAA, put out something like this for $40 people would be ripping them to shreds. Yes, the graphics for this game are great but everything else is severely lacking.

Mack will you revisit Kingdom Come: Deliverance? And your thoughts on the announcement of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance II*

1 Developer: Yep! Its about the CEO's goal. This one's is for a quality game, not pumping out money makers. Im working on my first solo dev title myself.

See, this what you get, if you don't have to spend millions on Social Justice Managers and Inclusivity Advisors. Also this game didn't need huge ad budget, the KZbinrs advertized the game pretty well.

So far, apart from the obviously incredible game development skills shown, this has been the easy part for the developer. Developing this amazing EA game in relative peace. Now when the game releases the hard part comes; filtering out all the constructive and non-constructive feedback and staying the course of where he is heading, even with all the money coming in. If he can do that, I believe this will be amazing and at least as impactful as Banished was 10 years ago, or Settlers 25+ years ago. I wish him all the best and wise decisions in the time coming ahead. He's got my money and support.

I'm not one of these people who prefer "Triple A" over Indie. But I'm not a huge fan of early access. I've seen so many videos of people playing early access games, and they've had to restart their playthrough, a save that has dozens of hours on it all because their saves files are no longer compatible with the update. Because of all that I fear burning out on the game long before it's completed and feature rich. This game might be different because of it's replay ability. Either way, it looks good and I'm looking forward to the full release, in 1-2 years time.

I loved the game, been there since the start, it makes 0 sense for it to not allow regions to send things between one another, they are yours, what's the point of claiming then? Another point which I have to make, you can't say this is a "worth a buy" without an actual price on the game. Had you said , if this was under X amount of money it would be worth a buy etc it would be a different thing... I love you Mack, been here since 20k subs dont take this the wrong way, just a suggestion. Also, sometimes you have to check the game's discord to find some up to date information. For example the game isn't made by one guy anymore, there's many people involved with the project. The FIRST videos that ever came out on the game did have only one guy making it, but that is long gone.

I don't know, when i look at this game and its already looking better and running better than all the other triple tripe games from recent years. Same goes for the game design like the User Interface and how it handles. It doesn't look real. Like im looking into a different universe where video games didn't turn into complete and utter banthawank for the past 15 years! Could this game truly be good? Is it an actual possiblity? Or is it just a fever dream of a dying man, before his soul leaves his mortal coil and he just didn't notice? The game simply looks unreal in a every postive way conceivable.

This is amazing. This also, exposes the fact that it doesn't matter how much staff and budget a game has . Developers need to do better. Starfield mediocre game and had 1000s of Developers working on the game and the came up with that crap. R* better take note . If GTA 6 turns out to be trash than that tells you Developers/programmers One guy made this game. While it takes 10000s of staff with a huge budget 8 years or more to make a game and the push out buggy crap.

Instead of playing as the lord and wander around doing nothing. I'd like it if you could possess one of your villagers, and directly control what the do and the actions they perform. "If you want a job done right....."

[@acegoat7573]

Time and time again indie developers put AAA Game Studios to shame. The PURE SHIT that companies like Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc put out is embarrassing. The key is that indie developers make game THEY WANT TO PLAY and they put soul and passion in to their projects. Whereas AAA Studios just look at graphs and spreadsheets and "Market Data" made by some kids fresh out of university and then pump out some bit of crap based on all of that.

PURE GARBAGE "Manor Lords - Apr 26 - Purchased on Steam - view receipt - You have a pending refund request for this product."

[@jocking3b510]

How can you tell it's worth it when we don't even know the price yet? Sure, if it'll be the "normal" early access price of 18 euros, then it's definitely worth it. But for like 39?
