What players think
The recurring themes across 68 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
In an interesting blending of the farming gameplay usually associated with the cozy gaming scene by combining it with a genre much more known for its psychological horror and storytelling equally gritting as it is disturbing, Besmirch is a rare type of indie that few would delve into trying to create as games will typically follow trends and other popular aspects of gaming that have proven to both work and be popular enough to make the effort of chasing them worth it to begin with.
Seeing as there are various quests that will naturally progress throughout the seasons, I won't criticize the current amount on offer as I spoke earlier with how the average player will likely take close to the end of Winter before finishing the 'first chapter' as it were.
Gameplay loop is fun, graphics are captivating and atmosphere mysterious enough to keep you engaged.
Audio design reinforces the atmosphere exceptionally well.

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.
