In this adventure, you are plopped into a new job: helping guide lost souls to peace in the afterlife. The richness of the stories of these souls is wonderful- from losing their memories, to painful mistakes, to lives wasted. Several of the interactions left me with truly bittersweet feelings. And this is just the primary story- there is farming, building, cooking, fishing, and many side quests. And the graphics are lovely. AND this whole adventure is joined by your pet cat. I was said to leave this world when the adventure was over!
I bought this game *very* discounted (under $5), and for that price, this is a great match three game. But that's all it is. The description touts "saving your village", which is the loose plot, but the buildings in your village are nothing more than trophies achieved after earning enough jewels from boards. The "trophies" have little animations, but are not interactive- you don't even get to decide where in your village they go. The match three boards themselves are challenging enough, but I find them repetitive and no longer interesting after about board 75. So, good price for about 75 boards, but don't expect more.
It's not just a map painter like CK3. You get to stimulate the whole nation, economy and citizens living in your country. You can keep on improving the lives of your pops, changing laws etc etc. Also Devs are very active, the game gets constant updates and devs listen to the input from the community.
Previously Utopia was a must have Stellaris DLC - now it's Galactic Paragons
Galactic Paragons while adding a slight power creep, also adds new and improved leaders. Finally they matter, they are no longer no-names you'll just roll every single time. Now each leader can get specialized and losing them can hurt. You also get council agendas, which give you some more stuff to do in peace time.
An unexpected descent into a strange world of malevolent witches, heroic hunters, and powerful magic causes sweet, grown-up Gretel to question everything she knows about reality!
Brand new story, same old techniques. Have you heard that the evil stepmother is a witch? Oh, sorry, now you know, and she'll want to get rid of you. Be careful!

Great game
I really liked this game - amazing graphics, tons of scenes and tasks to complete, and an original story. I think the tutorial could have been more robust, as it took me awhile to figure out now the navigator for locations/time travel/spells worked. Some of the mini games were very challenging (I had to finally skip one), and you definitely need to search everywhere carefully, and revisit places after tasks are completed because new locations open up. Many hours of gameplay - definitely recommend!
Every rash decision you make can turn into a perfectly planned crime. Criminals have come up with many innovative ways to remain undetected. It's your move, detective!
