Lakeburg Legacies

I don't think it's a bad thing that the "game is no longer supported". It's not an online game and it doesn't have any bugs or broken features, at least none that I noticed. It's a complete game, it has adjustable difficulty, it has fun/funny achievements you can aim for, and the game mechanics are a fun mix of resource management and card deck optimization. (your villagers are the cards).
I loved the art style, music, and themeing. Some people are saying it's repetitive, but I find it the perfect length for when I want to play for a few hours without getting trapped into an endless-gaming loop. I enjoyed seeing how genetics played out across generations (or manipulating them!) and loved making up little narratives for households. The ability to customize game elements like resource costs or illicit building effects was helpful so I could scale up the difficulty as I got used to the game, and create challenging saves or cozy easy-mode saves. It's a fun game from a creative team!

If you need a distraction, and have some 10£ (or less) to burn, it's good. The art style and BGM (even if repetitive) are nice. The gameplay it's not great, lacks depth or replaybility (even if it has potential), since the game seems abandoned by dev.

I absolutely adore this game, it's definitely one of my top cozy games to wind down with. With both matchmaking and lineage aspects with a sprinkle of challenge, plus the cutest art style for the characters makes it a game I can't help but keep coming back to.
However, I feel like it had a little more potential and the Devs dropped it to pursue other games and it kind of breaks my heart. They put a warning that endless mode is unsupported and gameplay may be effected, but how can I dedicate my time to a kingdom for only a 100 year span? It was finished enough, I guess, but I thought they were going to work on it more.

It's a fulfilling time sink if you love village management with romance and medieval vibes. The art is so charming and really keeps the game compelling. It has an addictive gameplay cycle like a much more simplified version of Civ or the Sims. Recommend getting on sale though, as I think it has too little content and depth to justify full price. Worth getting lost in for a day or two.

The pros of this game slightly outweigh the cons. It started really fun, though honestly I can't see myself going back to it that often. Maybe it's just because I selected the longest game mode (100 in-game years), but it became pretty repetitive towards the end after I'd already upgraded all the buildings. I imagine it would be more engaging if played on the higher difficulties so that resource management was more important, as I did find the social / romantic dynamics kinda lacking. The art style is really cute, and I liked looking through the fully rendered pieces you can unlock in the gallery. All in all, I do still recommend the game at least for a one-off playthrough. Maybe just wait until it's on sale!

Contrary to the previous reviews, I think it's worth playing. I had so much fun for the last three hours, and I'm looking forward to replaying it now that I know the game mechanics much better.
I think a lot of the disappointment stems from the fact the game COULD be so much better with more elaborate features. However, everything that was promised on the steam game page was delivered, so playing is still an enjoyable experience.
If you can get this on sale I'd definitely recommend it!

It had so much potential....
Really lovely art and mechanics, but as the other reviews say, it is unfinished and there is no end game.
I would have loved for a more dynamic game such as reaching X population, reaching X amount of gold, etc.
I'm giving it a thumbs up because I enjoyed the time I spent playing it and I love the art and concept, but I wouldn't recommend picking this up outside of a discount. And be aware -there is NO end game, so you have to decide that you will call it quits at some point.
