I played it when released to Gamepass and it got boring quickly so hopefully now there is more to it.

It is a beautiful looking game though.
- Same. Good for a few hours
- My main go to is city builders and I couldn't get past like 20 hours in manor lords before giving up. I just couldn't get into it.
  
  I've had a blast playing it. Beaten it several times and have all the achievements bar two really hard ones.
But... It's in EA? 🤡
- I don't know how I feel about this game getting an award in Early Access. But it feels weird.
  
  I have nothing against EA I played several ea games including this one, but this is getting closer and closer to the norm.
  
  Yeah it seems like it will be a great game and best wishes to the Dev but it's like giving an award to a demo. Why don't we just give all the awards to Star Citizen then since they have promised us it will be the best everything once it releases.
- Were there any city builders fully released in 2024? Is this a matter of an EA title being chosen because there are no non-EA titles?
  
  This is what I was wondering. Was the genre that quiet this year? Manor Lords isn't just early access, it's early early access. So many outright unfinished systems.
  
  Following up on this conversation since I just saw this PC Gamer article:
  
  I played a whopping 23 city builders in 2024, and here are my 5 favorites
