Our favourite city builder of 2024, Manor Lords, is having a pretty great 2025 as well. Following a meaty update that introduced a pair of new maps, bridges, building upgrades and a bunch of fixes, it's now hit the 3 million sales mark. Not bad for solo developer Slavic Magic—though that characterisation did net the developer a bit of flak last year, since contractors have also contributed to the game.
Regardless, Manor Lords is an extremely impressive effort from such a small studio, and while it's still in early access, it's enjoyed regular updates and tweaks, and thus is already much improved compared to the version that made such a sizable impact back in April.
