At first glance, Dorfromantik seems pretty basic. You place tiny hexagons on an infinite board, and you can get more tiles to place by following the game's rule set.
Though after just a few minutes of screwing around, you start to realize there is a lot of thought and organizing, that has to go into your playstyle, if you want to achieve a higher score. It's weirdly challenging and relaxing at the same time.
When putting every single tile perfectly, you can even go on without ever getting a game over. Here and there some small gaps start showing up, for which you haven't been getting the right tile yet, and I gotta say it's honestly so satisfying to get that specific one, you've been waiting for your entire run to finally fill in the gap.
Though even, if you don't put a lot of effort in, you can still have a great time, building a cute village. Alternatively, you're also free to just build tiny cities in creative mode to go full Zen, and just construct a beautiful landscape or play a quick round with a limited amount of tiles.
The soundtrack is just beautiful, perfect to relax or drift off for a little while.
I'm very glad, I got this, when it released in Early Access, because of how cool it was to watch this game evolve to what it is now on 1.0 release.

Highly recommended for anyone that just wants to wind down in these strange times that we live in.
