I was a fool for skipping Widelands, the only game as good as The Settlers (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

One time quite some time ago now, while I was away from home for a few days for work back then, I only brought an old, underpowered laptop to make sure I won't be tempted to waste any time playing video games. Widelands ended up ruining that plan thoroughly, it's a really nice, comfy experience.

EDIT: Also, hell yeah can I vibe with that sentiment:

There hasn't been a Settlers game since 1996. Whether they were good or not, its many sequels, as early as 3, started missing the point of the design. It's the roads, man. The roads!
