Wilderless: Meadowfell

I've only played a little less than an hour but this has to be the most chill game I've ever played. Just become whatever animal you see and explore as that animal. I like being a duck, I don't know why.

An improvement over the first game, but buy both to support the creator of this zen-like fantasy vacation, that will soothe and refresh your soul.

It's a bit jank to be charging for it in its current state. Menus overlapping each other and unable to be closed, character models freaking out when changing genders or clothes, and customizability that borders on overwhelming insanity. A lot of these settings should be set by the developer and never touched again by mortal hands. I appreciate the inclusion of a reset button for the quality settings, but I spent entirely too long digging thru menus looking for a single setting that ended up not even being included (camera sway while idling). While looking for it I was initially impressed by all the options, but then the menus started cannibalising each other, and, well.. It's also very clearly a mobile version port, the way the camera and cursors behave. It's got a really good base and I'm sure the gameplay is fun once you get into it but I couldn't even get to what I wanted to do (dragons!) before the pre-alpha-feel of the game made me not want to play anymore.

I've always wanted to play a game like this, but never knew it existed. There is obviously Firewatch, but there are missions, Journey is nice, although a bit too linear, and The Hunter which you pretty much have to hunt. I just wanted a free world to roam around in that was scenic and majestic. Fast travel and morph into a hot air balloon or the many animals. The earlier release is also nice, but I prefer this one. I'm glad there isn't a story because to be brutally honest most of the stories in video games are corny. Full controller support. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3627651913

Overall decent! There are some bugs, like terrain generating oddly, but it can be pretty comedic at times. I also enjoy how simple and straightforward it is, a simple exploration game. You have the power to shapeshift, the flying controls are a little odd but not awful (in my opinion) and there's also building that can be done. Overall pretty good game!

I wanted to like this but for a game that bills it's self on exploration and pretty areas there's almost nothing in the game. I got to possess a dragon almost immediately (very cool) but promptly got stuck on a house. There are 3 types of buildings that I saw, a farmhouse, a farmhouse with a barn and a windmill. There are no cosmetic changes to them. They're literally all identical from the outside. Can't recommend this.
