This game offers both a masterpiece and, simultaneously, the most mundane experience.

Kingdom: Two Crowns is enigmatic, providing no clues about what you should do or how to do it. However, this ambiguity is one of the game's most attractive features. The slow start allows players to appreciate the stunning background and the beautifully rendered water, arguably the best representation of water I've seen in a game. Watching it becomes a reflective, meditative experience.

Since the game lacks a traditional menu and offers no guidance, you learn its mechanics through trial and error. This approach initially adds a sense of mystery and allure. However, once the gameplay is understood, some of that mystery dissipates. The game then transitions into a more strategy-focused and resource management experience, moving away from its personal and meditative beginnings. This second phase is equally engaging, retaining the game's beauty and mystique. By this point, you’ve developed a dislike for the 'greedlings' and are motivated to combat them.

Admittedly, the game can become repetitive after several hours, but this isn't a significant drawback. The initial hours are breathtaking, making 'Kingdom: Two Crowns' well worth playing.
