I gave Hearthlands a brief try. It's a city-builder game that also incorporates resource management and some RTS elements. I can't say I found it particularly bad, but it's trying to do a tad too many things without putting much effort into making any one of those work well. With the amount of high-quality games of this genre already out there, the niche is kind of full and you need to put in a whole lot of effort to surpass them in even just one aspect. This game rather does the opposite and as such completely pales in comparison. It's just comparatively boring and I wouldn't recommend playing it.

I skipped on two metroidvanias today that I probably wouldn't have skipped, had my backlog not been overflowing. Ah well, probably nothing lost.
I did add Next Jump: Shmup Tactics. It's oddly unpopular for having such an interesting idea. It's a scrolling shooter, but instead of being speed-based, it's turn-based. Perhaps it's low on content, perhaps it's badly balanced, but I want to try it.
And then Hearthlands, because I haven't played a city builder in a while. Each time I do though, I just quit soon enough, because "I could as well be playing Dwarf Fortress, but I'm not because I don't have enough time for it." So I opt to rather save my time. Still, I want to try some alternatives every now and then.
