Interesting idea, mechanistically bad design. In a game where your primary method of interacting is running around on a horse, giving the horse stamina that runs out after fifteen seconds feels like a punishment that only serves to build frustration. The AI is really stupid. We have walls for a reason, but instead of retreating towards the inner walls they'd rather lose their tools/weapons and go back to being …

Endless winter is horrible and I didn't know it existed until I went searching for guides on how to get past winter. You can't even make money during winter. I can't even leave the island. I can't try to survive until I can make money TO leave. If an option is added to make winter temporary, I'll happily play this game, but as it stands, I don't feel like wasting my time playing something I can't win in the end and …

This game shows that you don't need a massive budget or a bunch of complex mechanics to make something genuinely fun. The pixel art is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and there are tons of little animation details that make the world feel alive. At first it seems like a simple game, but it's easy to see how much care went into every little detail. I've seen people say this game is easy, but I really don't agree. …

When a game makes time disappear, even after a confusing start, that usually means it is doing something right. This is the perfect game that gives you just enough energy to turn your bain off while playing, but at the same time, you'll understand when you've made a mistake. Which I think, strikes a good balance of relaxing and tension. Overall vibe is cozy strategy with surprisingly addictive "just one more day" …

I don't want to give this game a negative review but I would recommend that if you play the Kingdom series, that you play New Lands first. If you play Kingdom Two Crowns first then it may ruin the enjoyment of this game. I stopped playing it when I realized that nothing new was going to be brought to the game as I had already played Kingdom Two Crowns first. In other words, I had already played the game with more …

Critics, per Wikipedia
According to the review aggregate website Metacritic, Kingdom: New Lands received "generally favorable" reviews for its Xbox One version, and "mixed to average reviews" for its Nintendo Switch release. Nintendo World Report praised the visual effects, lighting, and strategic elements of gameplay, but said that the frame rate had noticeable issues. Rating the game a 6/10, Nintendo Life similarly cited the pixel art and soundtrack as strengths, but said that some players would find the gameplay elements to be too simplistic. Destructoid found the Switch version to have technical problems, while Jeuxvideo praised the soundtrack and the content additions over the original Kingdom, but said that…

Surprisingly, this is still about 40,000 times less than the most extreme hyperinflation in real-life history.
