The WhatsNext verdict

For Players who like rebuilding a fragile community step by step, with survival pressure and a bleak, strange setting: You grow a village on the back of a giant creature that keeps wandering, so each settlement must feed its people while living alongside a host that is also moving. Tradeoff: Its survival pressure and risk of losing a run can feel punishing to players who want a relaxed city builder.
