Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It’s incredibly easy to obsess over this game, to get hooked on the system of progression, discovery, and accomplishment (a little bit of randomness to spice it up of course).
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The other characters are similar to you, attempting to restore nature to its previous state, each with their own specialties and personalities.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Its pixel art style is warm and inviting, with a simplicity that complements the gameplay rather than overshadowing it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The menu system can be overwhelming at first and it certainly could use some improvements, but it works.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
Thankfully, the options offer accessibility settings, such as more automatisation in some tasks, which we may switch on and off, according to our needs - but some of the clicking and browsing through inventories will remain, therefore, be prepared for it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Combined with a gentle, unobtrusive soundtrack, the overall atmosphere feels soothing, making it easy to settle into long sessions without fatigue.
