✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's cozy atmosphere, beautiful art style, and addictive early-game gathering and farming mechanics, with satisfying exploration and traversal options. However, common complaints center on poor optimization and performance issues, an incomplete late-game experience with underdeveloped combat and unclear mechanics, UI limitations like fixed hotbar assignment, and overall jank that holds back what could be a stronger package—most suggest waiting for a sale.
I played it with my girlfriend. I like the way the nature grow and how it looks. The game can be quite repetitive, but there's some unique mechanics that make the game memorable!3 found this helpful
Extremely fun, unique and addictive. This game makes me doubt Steam's ability to accurately suggest games, as this should have been top on my suggestions. This is the first "true Druid game." The gameplay is what really shines, but the graphics and music also do a wonderful job of immersing the player in the role and world. It executes the survival-crafting genre in the best way, while also giving an excellent balance of action-RPG.1 found this helpful
It's a beautiful, wholesome, cozy, yet interesting game about bringing a desertified and exploited landscape back to life. There's gardening, cute animal friends (some huggable!), exploration, skills progression, crafting, some combat and much customisability wrt difficulty and playstyle.
Generally positive on this one. I'd call it cozy survival, the environment is the biggest threat. There are a couple UI issues that hold the experience back. Sometimes the normal back button isn't the correct one to use, mostly when looking at things on the map. Some quests lack waypoint markers (I'm looking at you 'Find the grave') Quests that require specific plants should at least have a hint as to where I should look for that plant, such as Wild Dunegrass being present on high areas. Apart from those fairly minor issues, I like it.
I've only played for 3 hours but so far I'm enjoying playing it with 3 friends. I did start my own garden at another area whereas they are playing in the same area. So it's got something for everyone and those of us who like having our own base.
Extremely annoying. I had my eye on this for a while, thought it would be fun, and it's basically a "run around and water your plants" simulator, except you don't have enough water, the game gates the water flow behind a bunch of quests and isn't clear on how you get to that point, the tooltips can be annoying inaccurate, the game gives you a tiny inventory, and you can weave baskets to store your stuff in, but they deteriorate along with everything else. I've spent most of my time trying to keep plants alive and trying to coax my pathetic stream into some semblance of an irrigated channel with digging/fill tools that are abysmal. Huge quality of life issues exist in this game. It could be good, but it feels like a massive chore.
