Crossroads Inn
Crossroads Inn is a real-time management sim with role-playing games elements. The game consists of two unique modes offering totally different experiences. In Sandbox mode gamers will focus solely on managing their business and economy – to build their very own tavern, hire and oversee staff, manage the supply chains and create new dish recipes. In Campaign mode, micromanagement is just a prelude to a rich story as the kingdom is in turmoil and a shift of power is expected. Your Inn will soon attract the attention of important political and military figures, who are desperately trying to hold on to the reins of power. Gamers will become part of a large-scale drama full of political intrigues, vivid characters, treacherous NPC’s and dangerous quests inspired by RPG games – You will even have a damsel in distress to save!

I was on the fence about getting this game, mainly due to the many reviews stating it was an unplayable mess of bugs, crashes and glitches. Now, its definately playable, but you will encounter your fair share of bugs and glitches, possibly even crashes. But for me the game only (!) crashed twice over 60 hours. Even with its faults this has still been the best tavern management game Ive ever played and I absolutely recommend it.

Great concept, good visuals, and a fun experience when it all works, but the bugs have been a major issue since Early Access, and they've only added more since then.
Since early access, the game has also become hornier over time. Prostitution was always part of the game, but at some point over the years it seemed to become much more of a focus. I suspect the game-breaking bugs were driving more serious players away, while gooners are able to look past a lot more flaws in the games they play, so long as they can achieve their quest for polygonal debauchery. So the devs catered to the audience that stuck around. But that's just a theory.
It's a shame, because (despite the salacious shift in tone) if they'd only fix the bugs it would be an easy recommendation for fans of tavern sims and farming games. It has enough going for it that it's worth trying if you can find it on sale for $5 or less, but you will inevitably encounter the same frustrating bugs that eventually drive everyone away.

My Autumn Tradition
Crossroads Inn is one of those games that keeps calling me back. Every autumn, as the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall, I find myself yearning for the warmth and charm of my bustling little tavern. The combination of running a medieval inn, managing resources, and interacting with quirky characters fits the cozy season perfectly. It's like a ritual now—I fire up the game, get lost in the rhythm of serving guests, brewing ale, and expanding my inn.

its fine i just play a little when im bored but usually i uninstall it after playing. its not worth the $15 so just wait for a sale otherwise its a fun game to play if you dont mind some bugs here and there.

I really like the game as it's a nice relaxing game to play when I'm in the mood. However, the game does have it's problems it is plagued with bugs and the dev's have stopped trying to fix it. I haven't personally run into any game breaking bugs but that doesn't mean the game doesn't have any. So take that for what you will.

LOTS OF BUGS. yes i am recommending this because I do enjoy it, that being said there are a lot of bugs,
I'm really confused how there is an anniversary edition of a game that is still being patched? but maybe thats on me for assuming. I would have had lower expectations before purchasing if i'd known it wasnt established and functioning years ago. I will say: restarting the game meant i can move the dog houses again, but all my employees dissapeared, still says they're there. writing this while relaunching. again.

If you like management games and some fun interactions then this is the game for you. While the "Story" mode seems a bit linear, it was fun and entertaining. The Sandbox mode allowed me to play further than the "Story" mode and offered much more of that "business management" feel. If you have the coin and would like a game of this type, then I recommend getting it.
