Buyer beware!
Buyer beware! The game was actually far better graphically years ago, not long after it released. For some bizarre reason the developers updated it with awful dumbed down changes to the natural world such as grass/shrubs/trees making it a far more ugly game then before. 'Grass' now looks like large fake writhing clunky green leaves and disappears as soon as you zoom out to any level, leaving awful looking low resolutions textures. Even the water is an unnatural radioactive blue. Also do not be fooled! Most of the screenshots on the steam page represent the old version before they screwed the graphics. For example that nice screen with the single stag looking towards the viewer with natural looking grass and trees no longer exists or is possible in game! Game play wise it is like nothing but a more limited Banished. However years ago it was the full 3D environment that was a major selling point. With that now ruined this is just a rubbish game. Avoid!

I was dubious at first as it feels like a complete rip off of banished
I was dubious at first as it feels like a complete rip off of banished. I love banished, and didn't appreciate much difference other than the graphics and a few gimmics. I'v put in close to 100 hours now. This weekend I was using another PC, which was too low spec for this game, so played banished again. And the differences were really notable. Life is feudal: forest Village has more complexity to it, wider range of buildings, resources and content. Upgrades in the keep make it a little more interesting as you get into later game. I found I hadn't felt much for the enhanced grpahics, but going back to banished I really missed them. I'd recommend this game over banished now I have come to appreciate it. It's not perfect, but hopefully more development will iron out this kinks others have mentioned.

The people are simply too stupid for this game to work
The people are simply too stupid for this game to work. For the tenth time, I just had a village of 55 people drop like flies to starvation - after 49 years of civilization - with 500,000 calories in storage. Thousands of vegetables. Fish. Meat. Honey. Fruit. I had an active healer. The food was evenly dispersed between barns in a village small enough to walk across in less than a minute, including all paved roads for faster transport. I read the negative reviews and then read a review which argued for some in-game fixes that supposedly made it playable and I LOVE this kind of game. I love survival games (this is a city-builder but with some survival elements) and I love that I can eat my breakfast or do something else while making little adjustments. This, however, is a broken game. It is, quite frankly, inferior programming. Don't buy this. I have over 40 hours in and I did get some enjoyment out of it but I am done now, forever, and a little disappointed that my money went to support this. It needs to be fixed.
