Manor Lords‘ time to shine.Manor Lords is a mediaeval strategy game with city-building mechanics, and it’s taken the gaming world by storm.

Despite only launching April 26, it has already hit a player peak of 173,178. It’s also Number Two in Steam’s top-sellers list, selling over one million copies despite launching in early access.One of the possible reasons for Manor Lords‘ success is that it launched on PC Game Pass.

Even so, it sold over one million copies, and that may be thanks to its relatively low price point of £34.99, the same as Helldivers 2, which was also a viral hit this year.

Manor Lords is currently 25 per cent off, too, making it just £26.24.Although it’s in early access, Manor Lords doesn’t look it on the surface.
