    Despite variable success with the choice element, this is a kingdom you’ll want to save.

    While side stories depend on your decisions, the main storyline relies on smoke and mirrors to make us believe that your choices matter — but they’re not. Unless you manage to bankrupt your country, there is only one ending, and the game's altruistic nature is far too evident. Show fairness, help people in need, be merciful to your enemies, and everything will turn out just fine. Unlike Papers, Please, this game rarely subverts expectations and hits players with tough dilemmas.

    Yes, Your Grace Is a fun romp through the life of a powerful man in medieval times.The narrative is well written and the choices interesting but the trip is over soon and not that worthy of a second try.

    Being a king is not easy, and so proves Yes Your Grace and its refreshing resources management system. However, its story lacks some originality.

    Yes, Your Grace is a monarch simulator that’s better at depicting interpersonal relationships than actual reigning. Its nicely crafted story fortunately trumps the occasional frustration stemming from a management system based on chance.

    Well written and beautifully crafted, Yes, Your Grace provides a compelling visual novel experience that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

    Despite its flaws Yes, Your Grace is still an interesting game with a strong enough core concept. Those after a clean-cut kingdom simulator will come away uncomfortable with their lack of control, but that's really the point; Yes, Your Grace is about how even leadership has its limits, and all we can do is try to do the right thing where we can.

    Your kingdom’s future can sometimes feel too predetermined, despite the hundreds of decisions you’ll have made along the way, but the relationship between your king and his family is really what counts.

    A solid and worthy experience, thanks to a worthy sound accompaniment and effective pixel art.

    Yes, Your Grace tells an interesting tale with some intriguing twists and turns, but beneath its grim story lies a monotonous gameplay loop that combines elements of traditional adventures, RPG-style choices and management games. It's fine for one playthrough, but with the story unfolding in a surprisingly linear fashion, there is not much reason to give it another go.

    If you like playing games that ask you to make difficult decisions that you’ll agonize over, then this could be the game for you. Otherwise, Yes, Your Grace demonstrates that sometimes it's not good to be the king.

    Yes, Your Grace’s clean presentation and likable plot elements do a lot to win over the player, but it’s not enough to stomach the bad taste left by vague objectives and arbitrary fail states.

    Eager to do the many issues of medieval life justice, Yes Your Grace can't hit a good balance between challenging and frustrating.

    I’ve enjoyed Yes, Your Grace. It’s a pretty game, and the story and subplots have some nice details and solid surprises. I like how you can hear distant armies chanting in the intro, torches in your bedchamber, and the hubbub of the streets from your throne room. The cheerful “Wey!” when happiness goes up is great. I’ve also much enjoyed the thought that the king is actually doing what I tell him, when I have him stand up suddenly in his throne room, declare that he likes his chandelier, then leave. But for all the time I spent making decisions, I felt let down by the ending – and the time and effort it would take to start again.

I read lots of reviews saying this is some kind of masterpiece. But, sadly, i didnt find out why. Management in the game is kinda poor and boring. Plot didnt make me interested at all, at some point i was that bored that i just turned off the game and deleted it...
    Maybe, this is just not my genre, but im not sure if the problem was actually in point&click setting.
    First of all, i was really annoyed by localization on other languages. Its either you play on english, or you get mixed up dialogues, wrong numbers in choices etc.
    Secondly, its usually the case when you see lots of people came up, they are telling you their story, and you must choose either you help them or not. But, there is no option "wait, until i speak with other guests"! How do i understand can i help this person with my general, if i dont know will anyone else need him?
    Finally, i totally didnt understand how economy in this game works. Somehow i was thrown to bankruptcy without actually doing anything. I was helping people with their problems, assisted merchants in their "start-ups" and anyways couldnt get positive number of gold without not paying to my general. Last thing caused situation, when i couldnt help peasants with their requests, and that came up with extremely low income which i even hadnt opportunity to fix.
    And that is not a problem, actually. If the game would be really that fascinating, i would start it again. But i didnt, just because two hours before it were kinda wasted. Sorry.    … Full Review »
