- Manor Lords Early Access reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC.
"Manor Lords is a gorgeous medieval city-builder that kept me occupied for hours building my perfect, cozy hamlets. But it's not the type of Early Access game that seems like all it needs is some spit and polish to be fully playable. No, it's definitely unfinished in several key, critical ways, notably lacking much of an endgame challenge or any way to put its flashy RTS battles to a real test. It's a great foundation, and I see a lot of promise here. But there was only so much fun I was able to squeeze out of such an incomplete demo. I will definitely be keeping my eye on Manor Lords and eagerly awaiting each new update, but I also wouldn't blame you if you decided to hold off on striking the earth for now. That's not a dig at all. I said the exact same thing about Baldur's Gate 3 when it first released into Early Access, and it eventually came full circle to become one of my favorite games of all time. But I have to be realistic about what's here right now - and it’s somewhat less than what would allow me to recommend it wholeheartedly."

You should have probably mentioned it was just 1 guy making this
Damn he should hire more people
That makes it incredible, but shouldn't change the verdict for now. Really looking forward to the final version.
@@sumdude5172 greedy fucker wants all the spoils to himself.
Considering one east european guy scored a 7/10 on a game that could be his lifes work is a fact that IGN should have mentioned.
Wow, let him cook
compared to companies that have a whole fleet of devs and stil put out pure garbage this actually looks quite cool
90% of the buffoons who claim that "most games are pure garbage nowadays" do not actually play video games, other than FIFA, CoD, Madden, and Fortnite. They just get their information spoonfed from rage bait content creators. Either that, or they're clinically depressed and project their depression onto the entertainment they consume.
Check out my game I’m working on it’s a open world jrpg ninja experience, currently it’s just me working on the game.
So defending it….. so what if one guy made it? If 100 people made a game and charged 60 dollars for it - then should this game cost 60 cents?? If he sells it for 30 or 40 dollars - then we don’t need to defend this guy for the quality of the game being poor compared to other 30-40 dollar games.
That being said this game is promising…
You mean 400 digital artists who hate white men and can't build games.
Easy red 2 is one dev
7/10 is a great score for a solo dev! BG3 early access also got a 7/10 score.
Yeah agreed.

@@Jpcraquesure grandpa, now let's go to sleep
“Sometimes it feels like a proof of concept than a completed game.”
My brother in Christ, this game is more completed than the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Three Campaign was.
Also it's early access, as in.. not a completed game lmao
It's IGN, they are not known to hire the smartest of minds.
You can point to double standards, but don't use CoD as a baseline for anything.
Yeah and they gave the cod campaign like a 4, this got a 7
Its IGN they dont know what a videogame is
Manor Lords 7/10
Total War: Pharaoh: 8/10
you can't be serious
And Warhammer 3 a 60$ expansion pack disguised as a fully priced title that is a sequel for 2 other 60$ games and yet failed on so many levels got a 9/10 ... the jokes by this IGN reviewer don't end at Pharaoh XD.
this is a city building game not a total war game.
@@DeadLikeMeJ You do understand it is a review of an EARLY access? They haven't review the finished product, so you shouldn't compare this review with games that were finished.
@@Hattori_Fujiyama The combat is the distinctive feature of this game, there are many city builders that are a lot better than this one.
@@tamska
Sure it is a review of an early access, and WH3 was an expansion pack which was reviewed as if it is a full game, not only that it was in a state of early access on releases (6 months wait for EI). My point stands :)
Amazing this game was made by only one developer!
ya it shows too, He's got allot of work to do, doubt well see regular updates
You know that doesn't mean one person made this game right?
So 1 guy makes this. And it looks better than so many games already... when its done it could be a 10
Gotta love how the average RUclips commenter claims "X game looks better than most games already" for like 60% of games.
Check out my game I’m working on it’s a open world jrpg ninja experience, currently it’s just me working on the game.
Reason is simple "gaming companies like to tell gamers what they should like" whereas one guy will make the game that he likes
@@jimmythegamer2231 Which decisively proves that the games are improving with every generation 🤣
Can’t wait to play this and see how game develops down the line
The same people complaining about this game getting a 7 even though it's made by one guy would've also complained if an early access game got a higher score
Check out my game I’m working on it’s a open world jrpg ninja experience, currently it’s just me working on the game.
You have to review a game made by 1 person the same as if it was 1000 people. The product is all that matters
Whether it’s early access or not doesn’t really matter, it’s the product that we have now that we can judge on and in many ways it’s better than most big studios completed fames
Who are the other 70 plus people in the credits then if it was made by one guy?
What's that graphical glitch called at 4:19? I've seen it before, but im having a hard time describing it.
ghosting
Already a 7 out of 10 in a far from complete state… not too bad
early access ... 7/10 lmao imagine when its finished
What we're seeing is probably like 90% of what we will get, especially if it's one person developing it.
@@abstractfactory8068 not even 70%
7 (score) + 3 (years to full release) = 10/10 from IGN (in 3 years)
@@StevenDeezy Nah this is like 90%, if we're lucky we will get an additional map and that's it
The fact you can walk on the streets you created, its just relaxing
Why rate an early access game
Because people want to buy them...
Because this is IGN 💀
You're here watching aren't you? You can see in the comments no limit of the braindead gamers who only came for a review score - every time.
Released on gamepass this week
Cause they're charging money for it. It's not a free game. People wanna know if it's worth spending money on. Don't release a game early if you don't want people reviewing it.
When release full version ? Date.
I’m really excited about this but don’t know if I’ll ruin if for myself by jumping in so early
Did anyone play lords of the realm?
Once you actually listen to the video and the justification for the 7/10 it suddenly seems reasonable.
1 day this channel will be called "the 7/10 review channel"
Complaining about not passing through a gate while the visit mode has legit a PROGRESS IN WORK warning, in a early access game, is just nitpicking to get a lower score. Same as complaining that your village is being raided by bandits while did not make a militia. Or complaining about the tax office not doing anything even though it's not even implemented!
@@NecramoniumVideo The lack of progression/endgame, the lack of challange in the games combat and the fact that the game only has 1 map so far justifies the 7/10, gampelay, visuals and vide are perfect, it just needs time to expand and this will easily be a near perfect game
@@kaades_it doesnt justify the 7 at all, the game is a solid 9.
@@kaades_nope clown it’s in Ea bro lol
"Extremely early access feeling game"? This game, made by 1 single person btw, is more fun, more complete, and has a more clear vision than most triple A garbage.
This is patently not true, but go off, knave.
OK Gamer
Plot twist - YOU were the evil baron all along
is there mediterranean architecture styles or just this one?
Just this one right now at the very least
@@lorddiethorn thanks
Why are we scoring early access games at all? It’s still in active development and was “released” within the last week.
Or IGN, maybe make a different scale for early access: Promising, manage expectations, not recommended at this time, back to the drawing board?
If people are charging money for a game there should be reviews at launch

don't ask money if you don't want reviews
I'm excited for the future of this game. I'll be day 1 player but with future updates and mods this game will be great.
Who said it was gonna have mod support?
@@DJsharp707the dev did, just later on
you guys have so much money but yet don't invest in a 4k 60fps screen recorder ?
Nice review. This will give an idea to developers.
1:30 Americans not making a city into a grid challenge: Lv Impossible. Absolutely souless.
That's some cape physics...
It's a Manor's KEEP not city walls. It's the lords private resort!:D
0:43 that sheep though...
6:35ff. Bandits are “a joke to deal with” now you have two full regiments? Ok. Yet not a huge surprise, is it?
But have you tried assembling two regiments on the hardest difficulty?
"16x time the detail" or "it just works".....from here on out the sky is the limit even if is a small project
They say, “feels more like a proof of concept than a finished product”, well that’s because in many ways it is, it’s far from finished but in many ways it’s better than a lot of other games that are “finished”
Still Need lots of time. Interesting
Which is why it’s in EA
Ah so THAT'S why people in medieval Europe thought the devil wears goat's horns...
it is like settlers
check out Ostriv and Songs of Syx. actual 8/10, 9/10 games. Manor Lords completely pales in comparison to those games. 7/10 is very generous, and of course given how hyped it was now IGN are facing the rage of a giant, unwarranted fandom.
*Moe hammers the crayon deeper into IGN comment section's brain*
Comment Section: "This game deserves higher than a 7 or don't rate it at all!"
Moe: "Perfect."
One dev makes a game that looks amazing and might set new standards for RTS battles while it’s actually a city builder medieval economy simulation and says the game isn’t finished by saying it’s early access.
People play it and find bugs. Content creator then points out that the game ain’t finished but not that it’s only one dev.
Where is no rest for the wicked EA review ?
Not able to recommend wholeheartedly and a 7 rating appear to me to be contradictory terms.
These last two weeks bro...... and its still not friday!!!!
Manor lords is one half of an amazing game.
Early access is free for pc with xbox games pass.
You play as a Reincarnated Slime here btw.
Alien Isolation 5.9/10
Let the kids say first
Id give gladly my money to support this guy
🔥🔥
Why're we downvoting IGN's video ?
They also gave Stellar blade a 7
Game is a 7, but footy jiggle is def a 10
The way IGN build their town is triggering me
More people worked on this review than the game. Worth mentioning.
Early Access of BG = multiple people ML = 1
- buys early access
- "sometimes it feels like a proof of concept than a completed game"
an actual 80 IQ review
That's not what he meant, though. The review is on point, and early access has a wide range of possible game conditions. Nightingale is early access, for example, and still has an endgame goal. This game doesn't quite have that amongst other things. It's definitely just a foundation that is a fair review for those who might've expected a lot of content in the early access version.
Early access is not the same as a proof of concept
@@vattghern7592nope it’s not buddy
@@abstractfactory8068yes it kinda of is buddy
So is the developer taking early access money/currency. There difference between proof of concept and partially complete.
Some EA games can be played happily but just need some extra content and tweaking. This needs more time in the oven which makes sense as it v small developer
My review of this review is 3/10
to be fair he's very trasparent about what makes him give a 7/10 score; the game is still incomplete, but it's very promising, and the reviewer even compared it to BG3 saying that it was incomplete but promising too, and now it's one of his favourite game. He is not in the wrong for suggesting to wait untile the game is ready or almost ready
Who asked
@@wilhelm7450 if you really squint your eyes you can see a little botton with written "reply" and if you look really above (depending on the device you are using) you can also see this is a comment section, so please f^ck off.
@@morte1176i mean, he's reviewing early access on purpose and then scoring it down because it's early access. That's...dumb.
your mom is 3/10 and 2/10 in bed soooo
The bandits destroying your town because you didn’t prioritise building a militia in bandit territory is not the games fault.
Then he complained 30 seconds later that the "issue" was he never needed all the combat commands at the bottom cause the combat was too easy (Which isn't the point of Manor lords, its not total war). He can't decide whether he's pro gamer or needs hand held xD
That wasn't his complaint at all. His complaint was that the raid was stuck in a loop.
It's a well made game for sure but it's a little glum, no character...?
this guy talks in like 0.5x speed
Holy. When did IGN become so based. This and the Starfield review are the most sobering reviews I've seen in gaming recently.
When one dev releases a better game in EA than triple A devs releasing a full game, which we know takes years of patches in order to become barely playable lol
So, you’d give soulless AAA games a 10/10, but this excellent game made by ONE guy a 7/10? Says a lot about reviewers.
You acted like 7/10 is a bad score. The game is still in early access, were you expecting 10/10 for an unfinished game?
What was the soulless game that got a 10?
@@enkryptron Early Access games are better than fully released games these days. What are you talking about?
@@maoribrotha53 Not exactly 10/10s. That was a stretch, but just look at their reviews from today until the last few years. Awful games getting very high scores.
Tropico 6 has the same score. There either is no rubric for scoring or it changes with every new reviewer that voices over the videos.
Why have reviewed this so quick but not bellwright 😢
It's kind of boring.
Strange, an early access game with bugs and not all features inplemented yet. Strange how that is.
You gave C:S2 6/10, so by that measure, this is *one* better? lolnope
7/10
For the zoomers who don't understand how a review works.
second
This whole review sounds like the reviewer had a day personally and it happened to the be day he had to review this game.
He sounds pissed at his job. Diversity hire of some kind.
He's probably thinking about all the no-brain replies in the comments section such as yours.
First
to get fked
Another early access forever
nope
Dev posts regularly in discord and provides regular updates.
Always a chance something goes wrong, but this has a lot of things going for it
What is blud yappin about
Only score IGN knows: 7
Classic 7GN. Those who claim it's made by 1 dev, clearly haven't seen the credits. Of course it's more than a guy for a game of this complexity. Or do you believe that he also recorded the soundtrack by himself? Nevertheless, I've been playing it all weekend and it's an amazing game, even though it's unfinished. Looking forward to the upcoming content for it.
IGN rating an early access game 😂
Cause they're charging money for it. It's not a free game. People wanna know if it's worth spending money on. That's what reviews are for. Don't release a game early if you don't want people reviewing it.
9/10
My biggest complaint about your review is that you do not provide context to the games state. This game was created by a SINGLE developer. The fact that it is even in a more playable state at early access launch than many other games produced by larger studios is astonishing.
My take: If you have the cash and like the idea of this game, buy it now and help support the developer.
If you don’t have the cash or can’t warrant purchasing something unfinished, hold off.
...Or play it on game pass.
it was not "made by 1 guy" he outsourced alot of the work and it was mostly made on EU 4 engine. You all yelling "it was made by 1 guy!" think he actually made the game from scratch.
@@DJsharp707 At first it was started by just one person, but later in its development it involved more people. He himself admitted that he hired more people for music and dubbing.
Easily the worst review of a game I’ve ever sat 3/4 through. Bro ease up on the ChatGpt, there’s no need for every evaluation point to be a small thesis. It reminded me of those text to voice reels reading a Reddit post with rocket league in the background.
Also, one dev created all this and you highlighted it, WITH BEING COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT OF IT ALL! Bethesdas released one trailer for ED6 in 4 years lol this dude is crushing on his own.
Either way, you’re getting a comment and view on your video so you’re still winning in all of this, just a critique from a keyboard warrior.
Review of your review: 3/10

This is the guy who complained about the Boulders Gate game.
He should be fired from IGN.
Terribly annoying IGN reviewer predictably awards a bloody 7. Find a better review elsewhere.
The continuing unmotivated sound of the reviewer’s voice says it all …..
Sounds like he hates his job/life
bro sounds like a soyboy cynic
all these games have the same european backdrop...can we try another...like the folks who build the pyramids?
Nah...Europe will do.
Make your own game bro like this guy did
Clearly this review is BIAS because of the money you get from big companies, but overall great score still better than cities skylines 2 and some total wars, and made by 1 dude in his basement.
This got the same rating as farthest frontier from the same reviewer.
This is one of the more grounded reviews that avoids the hype train of so many other RUclipsrs. While this looks really promising it seems very EA, more alpha than beta.
If people gonna review an EARLY access game they should constantly throughout the video acknowledge that it’s not a full game, still missing some things and gonna is still being developed and gonna get better and most likely alot of features will change or be upgraded etc. Most ppl don’t grasp the concept of early access and if they see a bad review or ppl saying it not that great they won’t ever play it or even think about playing it later down the line once it is ready.
IGN 1/10, the downvotes you guys are harboring are prob worth the clicks the video is getting. But as a journaling company that's embarrassing eitherway
Full-fledged farming system
Full-fledged war system
Full-fledged Open World
Then only it can be 10 out of 10 ❤❤
If it was triple A IGN would have given it a 9 lol
Why review a game in early access? Abit unfair to the solo dev
Uh, they review games in early access all the time? Should Steam reviews for early access games not exist?
@@jimmythegamer2231 no... Because the game is not finished, thats my personal opinion
It's available for purchase (in 2 days) - it's not the least bit unfair to review in it's current state. IGN posts Early Access reviews all the time.
@@Liaframwhat theypost is alawys a 7/10 or 90% of the time
*Plays on normal difficulty.
*Complains about battles are too easy.
Doing an review of an game in Ea lol and giving an number score is dumb
Don't forget 30 seconds before where he complained after dying to raiders lmao. I'm surpised this guy wasn't the one who couldn't get past the cuphead tutorial, it was kotaku wasn't it? Can't even tell they're all satire anymore
So 1 guy makes a game on his own pretty much and gets the same score as pretty much everyone except COD? IMPRESSIVE
This review is a 7/10 and the reviw score is a 7 like alawys
E A R L Y . A C C E S S
Correct which is pointless to give an Review score
You are joker 😂😂😂😂😂
im very disappointed with this review, might as well reconsider this review.
Seems fair to me.
WooW, I've been watching more than half of the video and the only thing you told me for that time is that an early access game has issues and bugs.
What is this game about? What does it stand above the others? What is the gameplay? What are those bandits that almost killed u in the beggining? How often do they come? What is the micro? WTF IS THIS GAME ABOUT?
SO bad review from IGN, for such a hyped game? That's very very poor work team. Have you watched other reviews? Is that the new IGN way?
7/10 boys
Guy plays on easy mode then moans it wasn't hard enough 😂
Almost as bad alien isolation on hard is to hard
Almost like it says early access
1 person did not make this. There are hundreds of people listed in the credits.
1 person did make this, but many people made the music, some animations, and art. Most of the game was made by one person.
There is legit one developer, he outsourced some stuff, like the music and mentioned already, animations.
