Charming, silly, and with the occasional misstep fitting for its chaotic nature, this game is every bit our inner child. Appealing to our sense of wonder through subtle and well-executed use of fundamental story-telling and design. Wyrmhall: Brush and Banter is presented in such a humble way I can’t help but feel affection for this little goblin of a game.
Overall, this simple game is generous with its extras and features with potentially more on the way. Suitably satisfying and and entertaining break in-between more intense games. I’ll probably invest in a wrist rest before trying another simulator on PC though…
There’s a fair amount down to chance in this game other than your starting weapon since that’s intrinsic to your wizard. Upgrades to your spells can be rerolled a few times once you progress far enough. Being able to gamble a reroll on the choice of augmentations and relics at the expense of health is a cool mechanic. This is incredibly valuable at higher levels when you know the playstyle of the wizard you like and what spells you need to make it work. That said, the only thing you can’t reroll are the spells. As frustrating as this is it does encourage players to try out new combinations. Plus, you won’t get stuck in ruts too often. This is a big part of what keeps this game feeling fresh every time. Embrace it!
Fae Farm is on its way to something special. If the devs continue to tend to the game as one tends a farm, it could be a top competitor in the farming sims market. Might I suggest maybe a different title? Given that the dungeons progress the story and the farming is purely supportive and mainly only useful for side quests!
Flock is well and truly ahead of the pack when it comes to the cosy genre. It meets all the criteria and then some. From visuals to mechanics, this is a seamless delight of a game. There’s something so joyous in the design of these funny little creatures and the gorgeous world they live in. And knitting. For goodness’ sake this game even has KNITTING in it. Can it get more comfy cute than this?
Tchia will make you smile, grimace in horror, and laugh out loud. Maybe occasionally grind your teeth in frustration when Tchia parkours off a high place suddenly for the umpteenth time. (...) I’d pitch Tchia to those seasoned gamers who are looking for something a little bit different but still has those warm familiar comforts. A great palate cleanser between those AAA titles.
