    A very fun relaxing game of building cities and landscapes. I don't know why but it's really addicting.

    What an amazing game. The best word to describe it is soothing. The design is elegant and simple. It supports controller, but definitely play with the mouse. The music is relaxing and good.
    I love it, I recommended it to friends so strangers should play too. You'll always want to beat your last score. LFG mah gee.

    A pleasant, relaxing game, that is sometimes incredibly frustrating. In most games this would be inexcusable, but often times the frustration is the result of my own mistakes building up, and occasionally a bit of bad luck, rather than poor game design or clunky mechanics.

    I hope this game continues to get updates and content post-release.

    A perfect game. Challenging, some randomness, but just enough to keep you engaged for hours.

    Dorfromantik is a very special game to me. It is beautiful, relaxing and easy to grasp, but offers much more strategic depth in it's puzzle mechanics than I had thought in the beginning. I play it to chill out and I wholeheartedly recommend it! I don't understand the negative reviewers...

    Relaaaaaaxing. An amazing game for relaxation. I really like it. At first I didn't like it very much, but over time I fell in love with it. I'm very glad I didn't return the money for it.

    Dorfromantik is a gorgeous indie gem that presents its player with the tranquility of building a romantic German village. It is a truly relaxing experience, where its simplicity truly shines. Chasing that high score with its tile placement gameplay can be utter fun, even though it may not be for everyone, it is truly a masterful experience that presents much needed respite in these times.

    Dorfromantik is a relaxing game that welcomes the player to a rural landscape. At the same time, it is an experience that allows the player to enjoy the fun and challenge of aiming for a high score as well. That means that the game can be enjoyed both as a relaxing break and as a serious undertaking, but never as something in between.

    The solution to the game's own internal puzzle, then, is to slot something else into the gap, to connect those disparate edges. [Issue#372, p.114]
