Repetitive. Pointless. – Reigns Review

The basic idea is, the game randomly shows you events and gives you two options to choose from, where your choices will affect the status (eg happiness of your people) of your state or trigger a storyline. The randomness and the degree of freedom might seem great but once you start you will find it actually boring in five minutes. The problems are: 1) The supposedly random events get repeated again and again. 2) Your actions have unpredictable consequences which is frustrating because you might get killed no matter how hard you try to make the “right” choice. If you get killed no matter what, why bother thinking before you choose? So you end up just swiping pointlessly. 3) The storylines, like all other events in the game, progress in an unpredictable, unreasonable and meaningless way.
