To this nongamer.

It has some really cool things in it. The actual raising of buildings is very cool... Watching the towns people bringing all the materials while some construct... It's all very cool. They also have a unique economy structure to the game where each individual citizen has wealth, a source of income, makes purchases based on need (and I hope later in the game, want) and of course, taxes. Graphically, it's beautiful and looks like it could have a great gameplay loop.

It's a long video but goes pretty in depth on the game:

And what I really like about the game is you go at your own pace.
