While the digital adaptation includes a helpful tutorial, some players find the interface limiting and the explanations of mechanics insufficient, leading to confusion about gameplay objectives.

    • “The digital conversion, along with the tutorial and immersive gameplay, made it an enjoyable experience.”
    • “The part of the game that I found most interesting was the resource management mechanics, which are quite different than what you see in a lot of board games.”
    • “It doesn't really explain anything in depth, so while I have a minor grasp on the mechanics, I have absolutely no idea what I am doing or why.”
    • “Even though the story is not central to the gameplay, you still need to know that Le Havre is a French commune and a city situated on the bank of the River Seine.”

    The graphics are described as simple and clear, effectively serving their purpose without being particularly stunning or detailed. While they run smoothly on modern PCs and support UHD resolution, some users find the mouse responsiveness lacking, especially in later stages of gameplay. Overall, the visuals are functional but could benefit from sharper details and more variety to enhance the gaming experience.

    • “The graphics are simple and clear.”
    • “However, it achieves the objective set out by the developer and runs very well on modern PCs, supporting UHD resolution and having clean, stylized graphics suitable for the setting.”
    • “Not the prettiest graphics, but it is functional.”
    • “I did not find the graphics realization to be very practical; the mouse scrolling needed to be used often and was not very responsive, especially in later rounds with more buildings that didn't all fit on the screen, which I also found obnoxious.”
    • “There's not much to it, and unless you love this board game or Settlers of Catan-like board games, there's no compelling reason to buy it. However, it achieves the objective set out by the developer and runs very well on modern PCs, supporting UHD resolution and having clean, stylized graphics suitable for the setting.”
