Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island

This was a short game whilst it did have some novelty it quickly wore off with the amount of "go fetch" quests. The whole game basically can be condensed to "go interact with this specific item based on the character" and "go find mementos". so basically a go fetch game, which if you like you probably will enjoy but this one wasn't for me. The story was OK and personally very loosely based on Greek mythology but this interpretation was a bit too loose as someone who likes Greek mythology. I did play to complete it all and get all the trophies which felt like a bit of a grind but that's just because it's not something I would come back to play and I certainly wouldn't have paid full price for this game. However, I did like that it told you before entering a "you cannot go back after this point" which was great but this is as part of the endgame of the game. The final endgame was just tedious - but I wont give any spoilers, if you know you know. The best part of this game was the scenic spots and the music. The graphics were good and the seagulls were cute. The fixed camera angles that jumped depending on where you are forcing you to change the angle that you were moving was very f…

I first played this game on Game Pass and it was a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed the sandbox style exploration. I decided to pick it up on Steam for a second playthrough and still find it a fun game to play. The gameplay loop is sandbox exploration combined with fetch quests for the characters. I found it an enjoyable loop and the game is in the 9-10 hour range so it doesn't overstay its welcome. The overall story and personality of the Gods you meet was fun, but the art style may be a turnoff for some. They went for some rather extreme interpretations of the Greek Gods. Despite this I found the game fun to play through. It is a nice cozy experience. I also recommend this developer's previous game Roki. For people playing on a handheld, this game runs perfectly at 15 watts and is a fun one to play with something like a Steam Deck.

This game was pretty good, although there was a lot of retracing steps. I liked the plot, and the quests, but I did finish it in only 8 hours and didn't really feel like I was rushing. All over, I enjoyed the game and would love it to be longer, but it is short for how expensive it was.

This was a nice, cozy game that I played through in about 8.5 hours. It has a unique art style, fun characters, and an interesting story. The way the game is laid out for when new areas open or when items become available allows for a very good pacing of the game. There's nothing really in the way of hidden secrets, as you'll be led to all the tasks you need to complete, so the exploration isn't very in depth - but that was fine by me. The game is more focused on the characters and story than the exploration factor. It has really nice vibes going on, the music and art style amplifying that. All and all, it's a nice time for those that like relaxing games filled with heart.

This game was so good start to finish. Make sure to manage the ambrosia fruit though, or you're gonna be left scouring the whole map right near the end!

Cute little collect-a-thon game.
