Game asked me to share feedback when I quit out of boredom, here's mine after about ~1 hour or so

1 votes

Feels really slow to play, I'm constantly on the fastest setting and just sitting around waiting for stuff to happen. I got to the point I could see how long everything was gonna take and quit. Nothing in the game really motivated me to feel like I needed to do anything extra after the tutorial was over. Build a dam, ok, did that, why? dunno.... need to unlock stuff, need to science.... oh, big ol waiting game..... *waits*..... ok, whats next? oh, more stuff I need to wait for..... WHY AM I PLAYING THIS? There's nothing fun to do while waiting for things to unlock....

I've requested a refund.

If you have that question - game is probably just not for you. Hope you got your refund without issues and thanks for trying it out!

@Gin sure, you can write it off as that, but I actually play a lot of similar kinds of games. I also talked to others I know who have played the game and they pretty much said the same thing! But they love the idea of the game, so are kind of just waiting for it to improve. Yes, I got my refund ok.

Similar kinds of game also can be somewhat different, more in a way how it involves the player. Right now Timberborn is just a sandbox, that has no story side to it, and I'm unaware if it's going to be "fixed"
Well, I might got wrong impression from how you put that too, my bad if it's so.

I personally have no issues with the waiting it makes for good moments to catch my breath between worrying about the next drought or if they'll have enough logs. I often find things to micromanage like setting the priority orders and making sure the right resources get to the right places. Though, I guess it's the building stacking that really caught my eye in this game and not the waiting.

the reason I play this is to calm and relax.....if you want the excitement of a first person shooter there are games out there for you. To ask for a refund because a city builder does not engage you enough it just sad. Don't buy anymore as they will all eventually bore you .....
