Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of engaging mechanics and frustrating elements. While many players appreciate the addictive nature of restoration and building tasks, they also point out issues such as clunky controls, poorly explained mechanics, and bugs that detract from the experience. Improvements in user interface and clarity of objectives are needed to enhance overall gameplay quality.
“The gameplay was fun and everything ran smoothly; I had a glitch or an issue here or there.”
“However, the vibe is good, gameplay is nice and engaging; it didn't bore me for a second, and the graphics may not be Crysis level, but it brings back the nostalgia from 10-20 years ago.”
“An addictive game with gorgeous graphics and interesting gameplay in which you have to restore cultural heritage monuments.”
“A lot of unnecessary tedium, poorly explained mechanics, and bugs.”
“Besides just being a bit buggy, it feels pretty clunky and certain mechanics are almost impossible to do efficiently.”
“But I do agree with most reviews, it gets quite tedious. I mostly have a problem with the annoying and clunky scaffolding mechanics and the extreme weight system that makes it so that when you use right click to throw a stone, it only goes for 2 meters, but if you walk against it or hit it with a different object you're holding, it will fling away 10 to 20 meters.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with players finding the mission descriptions tedious and the quest text difficult to read. Some quests are locked behind hiring specific characters, which can complicate progression, and there are issues with quest highlights and item interactions that detract from the overall experience.
“There are certain quests locked behind people you have to hire.”
“In the second mission, when collecting the relic pieces, I was puzzling over the last relic, clicked 'grab,' and it was just laid flat on the ground, with a duplicate placeholder next to it... floating.”
“My eyes started to glaze over during the mission description.”
“In the aqueduct contract, don't mess much with the ported blocks and side quest material; it's lying in order and when you pick it up, it will show you the correct position with an 'insert here' circle.”
“In the second mission, when collecting the relic pieces, I was puzzling over the last relic, clicked 'grab' and it was just laid flat on the ground, with a duplicate placeholder next to it... floating.”

The humor in the game is derived from the unpredictable Bethesda-style physics, which can lead to amusing moments when construction items are flung across the map. However, this can also be frustrating for players, as it disrupts gameplay.
“The Bethesda-level physics on some construction items is hilarious, but it can be rather frustrating when it frequently flings stuff to the other side of the map.”
“The witty dialogue and absurd situations had me laughing out loud; it's a refreshing break from the usual serious tone of most games.”
“The quirky characters and their ridiculous antics make every encounter a joy, turning even mundane tasks into laugh-out-loud moments.”
