Builders of Egypt: Prologue

Think of Builders of Egypt: Prologue as a sampler platter of city-building in the land of pharaohs. You don’t get the whole meal—just a taste—but it’s enough to make you want more. Construct houses, manage resources, and watch your pixelated citizens complain about food. It’s gorgeous to look at, with sun-baked landscapes and riverside settlements that feel alive. The catch, of course, is that it’s just the prologue, so just when you’re getting comfortable, the game politely kicks you out and says, “See you in the full version.” Still, as appetizers go, it’s a feast.
