What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
You can literally look up everything in your notes, which was nice when I mixed up the names or quest givers.
I've always found the progression system in other farming/townsim games like Stardew Valley... strange.
The pixel graphics are easy to read, and all the characters have TONS of animations that keep the world feeling lively.
A major strength of Roots of Pacha lies in its emphasis on cooperation—not just in multiplayer, but within the narrative itself.
The co-op gameplay is smooth, and the concept of building a prehistoric village together while discovering technologies is both original and refreshing.
You can change that in the menu before you start a save (I figured this out bc of the Discord Channel and 20min daytime feel so much more relaxed for me now).

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
