As a history graduate, if there's one thing I love to see in videogames, it's an authentic historical setting. Yet, the titanic Civilization has never really inspired me because I'm not the biggest fan of 4X games. So, imagine my face when The Bustling World, a beautiful-looking new Steam game that combines ancient Chinese history with Stardew-style farming and Cities Skylines-esque management, crossed my desk. Safe to say I was intrigued.
