Fabledom by Grenaa games is the newest city builder that they were kind enough to send me which is always appreciated.
The game starts out much the way many of these do. You and a few others with a small stockpile of supplies building basic buildings and housing as you get started on your way to a sprawling assortment of farms, wells, construction buildings and defensive structures.
Playing on consoles is always going to be a scary situation, because the controls are very easy to screw up in a game like this. Happily Grenaa and other companies in recent years really seem to have gotten this down as I haven’t run into a game that’s truly screwed this up and while they aren’t perfect in Fabledom they are solid.
Graphically the game is cute, watching my little people roam around and build things or chop lumber is as cute as you would hope and watching your main character do the thing she does (I don’t want to spoil anything) is a treat.
The game isn’t without its issues however, ranging from save issues on PS5 to all sorts of technical issues on PC. Luckily I played on Xbox where I didn’t have any of these issues in my 12-15 hours.
The one thing missing on Xbox was fun, I felt like I was just going through the motions after awhile. Fun however is subjective and I won’t be taking points off for that,and the game is still a solid 8/10 in terms of functionality. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
