Our Expert Score

87/100

Dawnfolk is a delightful entry in the growing 'cozy survival' genre. It strips away the tedious micro-management often found in city builders, focusing instead on rewarding spatial strategy and atmospheric world restoration.

The game's visual design is understated yet remarkably expressive, and watching the dark landscape bloom into warm light as your settlement expands is immense fun. It's a perfect blend of soothing ambience and smart resource puzzles.
