First time playing this game and I just throw 5 hours lol. The atmosphere is great and I can see that the devs put time wokring on the musics.
Thera are so much things to to and I do now want to give any spoiler but you should be should always check if your guys have enough food haha.
I played on Meadows and I think I can move forward tomorrow because maybe this one was to easy to master.
I would say that the devs should work a little more on the UX of the game, I had some issues trying to find my buildings on the map.. the buildings overlap a little with the terrain and are hard to see. There were a few moments where I felt a bit lost, mainly when trying to locate certain buildings or understand where some things were placed on the map. Some interface elements and navigation tools could probably be a bit clearer to make it easier to find things quickly.

A good point for me was the tutorial, most city building games will just throw a lot of text and this one does it in a way that is not boring because it moves the story forward

New Cycle is a solid city building game with a strong identity, mainly thanks to its event system. Your choices actually have lasting consequences, which makes the game feel more immersive compared to typical city builders.

The visual are good and fit the theme well. Core gameplay is easy to understand once you get used to it. although the early game can feel a bit overwhelming.

As someone who enjoys strategy and simulation games, this is one of those city builders that can easily make you lose track of time while playing.

Overall, it's enjoyable and promising city builder game.

The learning curve is demanding, but understanding the game's logic and overcoming that first stage is tremendously satisfying. From there, everything flows naturally and it's one of those games where you look at the clock and can't believe how many hours have passed. The world feels alive and coherent, with a narrative that invites you to keep exploring and growing. Hard to put down.

I've only played for a few hours but I'm really happy with the game. It feels like a mix of Cities: Skylines and a survival builder where resource management actually matters. The atmosphere is great and I love the feeling of rebuilding civilization from scratch. What impressed me the most is the optimization; my PC isn't very powerful and yet the game runs flawlessly, which is rare for an Early Access title. The controls are simple and easy to learn, and even though some instructions could be a bit clearer, it's very rewarding once you get the hang of it. This game has huge potential and I’ll definitely be following its development!

Kuch ghante New Cycle khelne ke baad lagta hai ke game mein kaafi potential hai. Gameplay settlement banane, resources manage karne aur production chains ko optimize karne par focus karta hai. Jaise jaise city barhti hai planning aur logistics aur important ho jate hain.

Graphics aur atmosphere kaafi ache hain aur game smooth run karta hai. Production system bhi ahista ahista complex hota jata hai jo gameplay ko interesting banata hai.

Overall agar aapko strategy aur city builder games pasand hain to yeh game definitely try karne layak hai aur future mein aur better ho sakta hai.

Después de jugar unas horas a New Cycle, la experiencia ha sido muy positiva. El juego ofrece una atmósfera muy interesante en un mundo postapocalíptico afectado por tormentas solares. Las mecánicas de construcción son fáciles de aprender y la gestión de recursos mantiene el juego entretenido. Los gráficos se ven muy bien y el rendimiento es estable incluso en configuraciones altas. A pesar de estar en Early Access, el juego se siente bastante sólido y tiene mucho potencial para mejorar con futuras actualizaciones.

Stellt euch vor, ihr seid der Herrscher einer kleinen, wachsenden Stadt. 🌆 Jede Entscheidung zählt – wo baut ihr das nächste Haus, wie verteilt ihr die Ressourcen? „New Cycle“ packt euch sofort in diese Rolle, und man merkt: jedes kleine Detail beeinflusst das große Ganze. Die Grafik ist nicht nur schön, sie erzählt fast ihre eigene Geschichte, während eure Stadt lebendig wird. Bugs? Kaum der Rede wert. Early Access oder nicht, das Spiel fühlt sich schon wie ein richtiges Abenteuer an. Wer gerne plant, optimiert und sich in seiner eigenen Welt verliert, sollte hier definitiv reinschauen!

I really like this game however nearly all the buildings look the same and it's massively hard to keep track of them all because of this, You can add tags to the buildings but Visually it's just a chore because you have to have many of them clumped together, it's really ugly, not because it's suppose to be because I get the concept. It feels like the developers said, "hey let's just make everything look like a trash dump". Here's an idea add a paint shop, even on sale it's not worth it, they need to drop the sale price below $10 for this trash design. Most of the buildings that have more character can be placed outside the clump zone. Why? Just give them all character or change their dang colors so you don't have to spent 10 minutes going back and forth trying to figure out where the building is that needs adjusted for training or workload. So much effort put into this game and I'm sure this is a common frustration. If I get depressed and need something to push me over the edge I'll
try to play again.

Overall, New Cycle is a solid survival city-builder with deep and engaging gameplay. The core gameplay focuses on building a settlement from scratch, managing resources, assigning workers, and developing technology while slowly turning a small village into a large industrial city. Every system is connected, so players need to carefully plan production, logistics, and citizen needs to keep the city running.

The game also adds extra challenge with season changes and limited resources, which makes resource management even more important. The early game can feel a bit confusing because the tutorial and UI are not very clear, but once you understand the mechanics, the gameplay becomes very satisfying.

Overall, if you enjoy strategy-heavy city-building games that require planning and management, New Cycle is definitely worth trying.

Biggest issue I have with the game is that it is not challenging, and also not really fun. Everything is ok, kind of like Frostpunk, with the exception that the later is fun and addicting, and New Cycle is not.

Great game, love the flow of cycles, ability to customize everything is great, ability to set the time of day to be static is amazing
Industrialization is really intuitive and it really feels good, balancing of resources is fun and makes you think, can't wait to get later into the game!

Looks great, runs smoothly

This game has a lot of potential to it, it could be overwhelming for some casual player at first but we could get the hang of it later on. What i like about this game is just how realistic it is when it comes to city building/town managing and the choice based gameplay is a great addition to it. From my 5 hours playthrough, i feel like the game just need a little bit of balancing for all the resources so it could be more enjoyable for most people. Other than that, this is a very interesting game!

I've been playing New Cycle and I absolutely loved it. At first, I felt a bit lost, but little by little I started learning new things, and the more I did, the more I wanted to see what would happen next. I spent 3 straight hours glued to the PC, enjoying this game like I haven't in a long time. I just hope my wife lets me play another 5 hours this weekend xd.

After about 4h of gameplay, I’ve had a good first impression of New Cycle.

What I liked:

The city-building mechanics feel intuitive and easy to pick up
Managing resources and population growth is satisfying
The overall atmosphere and visuals help make the city feel alive
The game is well optimized

Things that could improve:

Some systems could use more depth or variety as the city grows
The game definitely feels too easy at the start on normal difficulty

Overall, New Cycle shows a lot of potential as a classic city-builder. If you enjoy planning layouts, managing resources, and watching a city grow, it’s definitely worth checking out.

I played it enthusiastically for three hours and it left me with a smile on my face: the attention to detail is total; that atmosphere, both gray and warm, captivates you and makes every decision count. My impressions were really positive: the art and illustration are beautiful, the lights through the smoke, the weather effects, the northern lights provide an immersive detail. The soundtrack is, for me, the best part, it accompanies the game delicately and knows when to heighten the emotion. The cyclical evolution feels organic and always forces you to rethink the city, and the weather adds real tension, it's not something to be taken lightly, it changes priorities and makes you tense.
I love how people's quality of life influences morale and efficiency; taking care of the population is not just aesthetic, it is the basis of progress. The game is very well optimized even when the city is filled with details, so the experience is never broken. I look forward to the game including new details with each update, it looks promising for the future.

I’ve only played a few hours, but so far i'm really happy with the game. The atmosphere is great, the building mechanics are fun and approachable, and the freedom in how you manage the game is amazing. I haven't played many builder games so i wasn't sure what exactly to expect but i can see myself play more of these types of games. The negative reviews kinda threw me off but to be honest I ran into very few bugs, and the ones I did were minor and easy to fix. The grapics are beautiful and i ran the game at ultra without issue. For an Early Access game, it feels really solid and in my opinion has huge potential.

I had a really enjoyable experience playing this city builder. The game is very engaging and relaxing in the same time. It’s the kind of game you can jump into when you have some free time and just start creating something unique. Building and expanding your settlement feels rewarding and it’s easy to lose track of time while planning layouts and watching the city evolve.

Even though I encountered a few minor bugs during my playthrough, they didn’t significantly affect the gameplay experience. Overall, the game still runs well and remains very enjoyable.

The music is just perfect for my ears, immersive and really adds to the overall atmosphere.

What I like the most is how immersive it feels. There’s something very satisfying about managing resources, designing your city and watching everything come together over time. The atmosphere and gameplay loop makes it easy to stay engaged for long sessions.

This game definitely has a lot of potential. With a few improvements and updates, it could become a really strong and memorable city-building experience. I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops in the future.

Je reviens sur mon évaluation initiale qui disait que ce jeu semblait manquer de profondeur car je n'en était arrivé qu'au début de l'ère industrielle. C'est bien plus complet qu'il y paraissait de prime abord. C'est vrai qu'au départ on a peu l'impression de refaire un peu tout le temps la même chose pour combler le manque d'eau et de nourriture. Mais une fois que la map commence à se remplir d'exploitation et que l'on avance dans la technologie tout prend de la profondeur. Arrivé à l'ère industrielle tout change et pour le vraiment mieux et c'est la que le jeu se démarque enfin.

A cela on ajoute que le jeu est beau et cela même sur des configs de machines relativement modestes ce qui rends le jeu abordable même à ceux qui, comme moi, possède des machines qui commence à accuser le poids des ans.

Continuez comme ca, j'avais déjà donné un avis favorable initialement bien que mitigé, mais je retire le mitigé. Le jeu est franchement bien vu, équilibré contrairement à ce qu'auront pu dire certains. L'atmosphère est sympa. On aurait pu arguer que c'était trop emprunté à Frostpunk, ce que j'ai pensé moi-même au départ mais finalement, même toutefois si un peu, et bien pas tant que ca.

The game if you took Frost Punk, and Banished and smooshed them together.

Or, this is Banished 40k.

Yes, it's still in development, but it's a solid game so far with a few annoying bugs but nothing that stops you having a blast. Developers are really on it with ideas and changes, and I don't agree with a few of the reviews.

Excellent city builder, a lot of content and the developers keep updating it. Very well done so far. I waited 2 years to buy this game because I know it takes small companies a long time to develop games and publishers only care about large profit margins unfortunately. My only major critique is the residential building and services aspect could be easily overhauled, its very simple and way too many people can be packed into small buildings. This games focus is definitely production based but its too easy to speed through upgrades. Normal mode seems like very easy mode so dont be afraid to up the difficulty if you are familiar to city builders. Hopefully more fine tuning and added features to come!

Ce jeu à un grand potentiel mais bien qu'il soit en version Béta, il est injouable actuellement. Une gestion correct est tout bonnement impossible. Par exemple: il faut 100 cuisiniers pour 500 habitants (eux compris) et encore il en faudrait plus. Faute de nourriture, ils doivent manger leurs outils car : 10 forges, 6 tréfileries et il n'y a pas assez d'outils. Les vêtements doivent protéger des blessures??? à bon??? L'espérance de vie? 2 ans. C'est une hécatombe. Une fois que vous avez la chaine alimentaire et la fabrication d'outils, il n'y a plus personne pour le reste. A voir plus tard.

Купил игру как только она вышла и вот прошло уже более двух лет, а оптимизации не то, чтобы нет - она стала гораздо хуже. На самых низких настройках графики, видеокарта раскаливается так, что вентиляторы включают режим реактивных турбин (и было бы из-за чего еще).
Исправлять это разработчик явно не планирует. Жаль уже нельзя сделать рефанд.
