But... It's in EA? 🤡
I don't know how I feel about this game getting an award in Early Access. But it feels weird.
I have nothing against EA I played several ea games including this one, but this is getting closer and closer to the norm.
Yeah it seems like it will be a great game and best wishes to the Dev but it's like giving an award to a demo. Why don't we just give all the awards to Star Citizen then since they have promised us it will be the best everything once it releases.
Were there any city builders fully released in 2024? Is this a matter of an EA title being chosen because there are no non-EA titles?
This is what I was wondering. Was the genre that quiet this year? Manor Lords isn't just early access, it's early early access. So many outright unfinished systems.
I can’t think of a single city builder released this year that isn’t in EA.
Frostpunk 2 released and is pretty solid. Maybe not for everyone but it's a full title release I believe
Ah yeah that’s a good catch. It is a solid game and should have won.
There’s a Soviet city builder that fully launched in the last few months

I played a whopping 23 city builders in 2024, and here are my 5 favorites
