Frustratingly buggy. Goals will randomly not register as completed, making levels unbeatable unless you restart. Gets even worse in later levels, where bumps in the road randomly appear and need to be cleared again and again, and workers tend to get stuck on them forever, so every time one appears there's a chance you'll have to restart the whole level...
Finished the game (49 levels) with all achievements in 8.5 hours.
The graphics are nice, the story is ok, but due to "improved" level design you may end up stuck after doing half the level because you should have spared some resource (e.g. stone), which is NOT fun. No previous version had such irritation.
Additionally, the game is buggy:

I have enjoyed all the Gnomes Garden games. Lost King is slightly more difficult than the previous games, as there is actually right and wrong ways to do a level. One bug that needs to be fixed: if you're in the middle of a level and press "restart", when you restart the level it will not check off any of the tasks on your list, making it impossible...
I'm a huge fan of this type of games. Sadly I can't recommend this one at all, not even on sale.
The bug that won't let you complete certain levels at all not only takes the fun away but also the entire concept of trying to get each level done at the fastest possible time.
First 10 levels are great and everything works fine, but after that it is so common that you finish a level and when you go back to level select it is marked as not completed. Maybe is just for me, but is really annoying
