Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall Steam Charts & Stats

Snowfall, the sequel to Yes, Your Grace, is an sometimes interesting but ultimately failed continuation. It tries to do everything better then the first game. You can see it everywhere; the mechanics are expanded and deeper, the graphics are better, the music is grander, the story is longer. So why do I give this game a negative review? It is not because of the bugs. It is not because of the sometimes badly implemented mechanics. It is not because of the noticeable lack of quality control of the plot and script. It is because after finishing this game, it left a bad, bitter taste in my mouth. Everything just felt..."wrong". From where the story left us stranded, to the fate of some of the characters and everything that led up to that point. (I got the "best" possible ending btw.) To make matters worse - it made me literally dislike the thought of playing it again or returning to this world for a possible third game. I don't know what the devs have in mind for the future of Yes, You Grace and I - at least for the moment - no longer care. TLDR.: The game equivalent of the last season of GoT TV Series.

Not really a good continuation of the first game, It feels more like a visual novel >Weaker story >Dialogue is long and boring >the new gameplay changes are way too mediocre to be considered good >laws are not impactful at all >previous decisions are ignored or overwritten (new writers? or did the new devs not play the first one?) >also almost no action, the first one was brilliant short and without any tidious stuff unlike this one >Petitionings are random and are really mediocre >new graphics are okay but the artstyle of the characters is "modern"... to say atleast. if the devs ever make a third installment i will definitely buy it as the core is interesting and simple and enjoyable. just simply listen to the reviews.

The story is not engaging as the first and frankly it became a chore to play this game after a while. Got one of the bad endings and probably will not be touching this game further.

I just finished this game and wanted to get my review in while my feeling were fresh. I really enjoyed the first game, I was waiting anxiously for this game to come out for months. This was such a disappointment. I forced mysyto finish this game. I ended up getting soft locked in the first few hours of playing and had to start over after a patch was pushed. It happens, I wasn't upset about it. But the further I got into the game,I noticed how repetitive it was and just kind of boring. I had to force myself to keep playing because I wanted to finish the game and get my money's worth. Sad, I really wanted to like this game

I loved the first game and finished it the day I bought it. This has left a sour taste in my mouth and to put it bluntly, I was bored. Maybe I should have expected less but the devs really have packed too much into the game and forgot what it was that made the first so enjoyable. My feelings about the game are certainly not unique but I wish I'd read other reviews before spending money on this game

While i enjoyed playing this game, i still find the plot underwhelming compared to the 1st game which was beautifully made. there's so many plot lines to follow: [spoiler] 1. taxidermist/lions 2. i literally forgot jakub and kavka's beef 3. radovians are MIA when theyre so important on the 1st game 4. oracle dust MIA too 5. the forgotten baby girl overshadowed by his tail brother 6. lord edemyr's wife showing up for nothing?? 7.)asalia's whereabouts during the break in mission 8.) jakub's estate that we didnt even see 9.) the lack of prisoner mechanics?? and some questionable character arcs (again looking at asalia). i love the game mechanics, got no qualms on that, i encountered a couple of bugs but it didnt ruin my playthru. my issue is more so on the plot. king eryk's nightmare scenes are kind of a bore to playthru but nonetheless this game is still fun.[/spoiler] if only this game followed a straight forward plot like the 1st game, then i may have been able to enjoy this even more. i also feel like we got less siege and war management here. and i didnt like how abrupt the ending is (despite me getting the good ending) if you have played the 1st game and you cared deeply about the story and not just the game mechanics, then u may have set yourself for a slight-ish disappointment but if you haven't, then you may find this one pretty good. i still think it's worth playing. congratulations to the devs, u made a good game but pls dont rush it. all good things takes time. :) we're waiting for a 3rd game!

Was a huge fan of the first game. But I can't say the same for this one. I was hoping they'd simply take the core of the first game and expand on it, but it seems they tried to change it quite a bit and I personally didn't find it enjoyable. It's honestly quite tedious and I found the story went a bit silly by the end. In the first game, I enjoyed playing a weak king trying his best to manage his tiny weak kingdom. This game isn't that. It feels more like a visual novel or something.

As a big fan of the first game, I hate to write a negative review but this one is really a huge disappointment for me. For sure there are good sides of the game. The music at the main menu is excellent, just like the first game. The side characters are awesome though somehow they all managed to survive. Either I made excellent choices in that regard despite getting the bad ending or the writers lack the willingness to follow George R. R. Martin. The artwork is admirable. The new sourcing and fulfilling demands system is quite interesting but it lacks the most crucial item - the number of soldiers we have. There are battles and riots everywhere yet it only matters in one short quest. I still prefer the first game's sourcing system. King Eryk's nightmares alone are enough to write a negative review. It was intriguing at first but quickly turned into torment. The most important part is the ending. The game ended all of a sudden. I looked up other reviews to make sure it wasn't something specific to my ending. I’m not against cliffhangers when they’re done properly but this one was far too abrupt and left too many holes behind.

I know this review sits under a big red thumbs-down icon on Steam, but let me start by saying this: Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall isn’t a particularly bad game. It’s just… painfully average. You might be wondering—why the negative rating then? Well, because despite its clear progress over the first installment, Snowfall simply doesn’t go far enough. I promised myself I’d support the developers by buying the game at full price on release, but if it didn’t impress me, I wouldn’t go easy. And, well… it didn’t impress me. Plus: ✅ If there were awards for soundtracks in games, all of them should go to Snowfall. And I don’t say this just because fellow Poles composed and performed some of it—the music here is genuinely outstanding. Every single track. ✅ The one area where this game really shines is the visuals. Pixel art is an art form, and these devs clearly mastered it. The animations are fluid, the color palette is gorgeous, and the scenes are nothing short of magical. ✅ This time around, the game is natively supported on the Steam Deck—and honestly, that’s the only way I recommend playing it. A big win for portability and comfort. ✅ I think it's slightly longer than the original, which is always welcome in story-driven games. ✅ There's a stronger emphasis on Slavic folklore, which adds flavor and atmosphere... Minus: ❌ ...but sadly, that folklore doesn’t really mean much. It’s more of a thematic bait than a mechanic. None of the gameplay systems are tied to it, and after a while it just becomes a bit dull. ❌ The story is nearly as naive as the first game, with some "twists" that didn’t land well for me. In narrative-driven titles like this, story is everything, and here it ranges from mediocre to flat-out weak. ❌ The political/"Game of Thrones" vibe (winning over houses and forging alliances) is completely gone. This is a huge gameplay and narrative loss, stripping the game of one of its most advantages. ❌ The aspect of traveling across your lands and helping people on the map is also entirely absent. The world feels dead, static, and disconnected. You travel mostly to get somewhere or collect stupid and useless resources. ❌ Perhaps my biggest gripe: the first game ultimately has no meaningful impact on Snowfall, beyond introducing the characters. You have to play it to understand this sequel—but doing so doesn’t reward you in any way. ❌ The new “kingdom management” mechanics don’t do much to elevate the experience. Yes, they’re better than in the original, but still far from engaging. Battles mechanics remain largely unchanged and unimpressive. ❌ The whole game gives off a vibe of creative fatigue. As if the devs just forced themselves to write a story and mechanics without much care or passion. It’s not just uninspired—it borders on lazy. ❌ A small but irritating detail: As’s hair color. In the first game, she was one of the most beloved characters and favorite daughter for me. Here, she’s reduced to an insufferable caricature that feels more like a clumsy political statement than a fleshed-out human being. Final Thoughts This game simply isn’t worth full price. I won’t be supporting the developers with my wallet again—though that doesn’t mean I won’t check out a future installment if it ever happens. Unfortunately, they’ve burned my goodwill they earned with their style and now they’ll have to win me over from scratch.
