Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles

Cute and fun

Almost the perfect peaceful game I was looking for! ✓ No combat ✓ Crafting ✓ No time limits (except for the fishing competition) ✓ Cute ✓ Easy and Relaxing My only complaints are that even with the three fast travel options available, getting around was still a pain. A lot of times I ended up running just because figuring out where the ports were and where they let out was too irritating. There are also completion quests that are just a pain, especially with an inventory limit, so I might have to leave this one incomplete. Worth it for the 15 hours or so spent on it though!

If you liked the recent Zelda games except you didn't like monsters constantly trying to kill you, this is the game for you. It's basically cozy Zelda, my only (very minor) complaint is that I wish the trading mechanic wasn't exclusively trading. I'd love to have the option to sell/buy things for cash OR be able to trade an equivalent of stuff.

Confusing, boring, frankly kinda ugly, I simply could not get into this game at all. Despite the quest list and map it's rather difficult to figure out what to do and where to go. The map has some waypoints but the actual towns are not marked. The UI is confusing, a mashup of conflicting styles, and hard to maneuver. It's possible to figure out, but not an enjoyable experience. Same with the tasks. You're kind of thrown in and left to figure things out, which is fine I guess but there's so little direction that you just wander around until you find something you can do. The visual direction of this game is downright confusing. some of it is realistic, some of it cartoonish, and the scale of people to animals to buildings and chests doesn't feel like a stylistic choice, it feels mish-mashed together. The world itself is so sprawling and so lacking in direction that I got bored pretty quickly, despite trying twice, years apart, to get into it. I can't tell if this is game has a well intentioned team with misdirection, or if it was thrown together as a cash grab. If I didn't give it a secondchance and make it past the 2hr mark I would try to get a refund.

A cute game that once you understand the game mecanics is quite fun to play

Super cute game with lots of secrets to discover and fun collectathons. I love the hair dyes.
