    Most people will probably enjoy the game at first, but the amount of time spent grinding and losing will quickly cause them to lose interest. This is a game for masochists and those willing to spend hours upon hours of their time running into a wall based on the slim hope that just one more run is needed to break through.

    The King is Watching is one of the most addictive roguelite strategies of this year. It has excellent visuals, humor and variability in settlement development. So far the game has problems with randomness and balance, but this only makes the playthrough more interesting.

    With its charming hand-drawn pixel art style, addictive kingdom-building mechanics, and quirky "only works when you watch it" twist, The King is Watching delivers a fun and original mix of strategy and roguelite elements, though its reliance on luck, occasional chaos, and lack of a proper story mode can lead to frustration.
