Nominated for both the Indiecade Impact Award and ‘Best Civics Game’ by Games for Change, the underlying message behind Common’Hood is a strong one. The emphasis here is truly on fostering a community spirit in trying times, and building the best collective environment possible. And you can do that with the release of Common’Hood on Game Pass, Xbox and PC.
An Abandoned Factory
It all starts with a derelict factory and a dream. Common’Hood on Game Pass, Xbox and PC, is a community building and economy management game that allows players to create whatever base their heart desires. In this factory, you must make use of the game’s incredibly in-depth base-building features to build a home for your people.
As you craft tools, build up your miniature town and take in people from the outside, seeing them blossom out of poverty, you’ll start to understand what led to the factory being abandoned in the first place.
Common’Hood initially has an incredibly eerie atmosphere, however this is ultimately a tale of compassion and determination to survive. Eventually, you’ll be moving on from building the foundations, and understanding how to micro-manage your new civilization. Think of this perhaps like a smaller-scale Cities: Skylines, with a greater emphasis on the small storylines within.
Online Play
Where’s the fun in making such a cool base if you can’t share it? Luckily, Common’Hood has online play for up to four players – invite your mates over to check out your community.
Alternatively, we can see a lot of fun to be had sharing a world within Common’Hood together. The game will also have cross-gen and cross-play functionality with Xbox and PC players joining forces.
