Caravan SandWitch Reviews
Caravan SandWitch is the cozy twist in gaming we all need occasionally. Anybody who enjoys a great story and some good music will absolutely adore this gem simply due to how much charm everything oozes. However, you’ll need to prepare beforehand for what might be a genuinely touching story that will hit a little too close to home.
Caravan SandWitch is a wonderful, easy-going experience that will keep players wrapped up in its world thanks to the satisfying pacing and enjoyable exploration mechanics. Simply exploring Cigalo and uncovering each area was always a treat, whilst upgrading the van, completing side quests, and learning more about the narrative kept me invested until the very end. It looks very pretty too, with Cigalo offering a lot of gorgeous sights to see as you venture further afield. It might be a bit too easy for some and the lack of death or challenge won’t be for everyone, but personally? I loved my time with Caravan SandWitch and found it an utter delight to play.
Occasional forced trinket collection aside, this tiny open-world is filled with stress-free exploration, lovely sights, and simple, satisfying puzzles.
Caravan SandWitch presents a beautiful world that is not fully exploited. Everything remains pure appearance, with the story and its characters crying out for more depth and a slower pace. While the gameplay feels great, it doesn't end up shining due to the poor environment.

An 'on the road' adventure to rediscover the sense of belonging to a community, of living to share. Some will criticise Caravan SandWitch for the simplicity of its gameplay, the lack of a real challenge and some minor technical issues. It is legitimate, as long as you don't lose sight of its story and what lies behind it, because this is the element that elevates the game above the crowd of mediocrity.

Caravan SandWitch is just a really pleasant video game. It can be a bit rough around the edges in terms of animations and technical performance, but its story intrigues, and its atmospheric brand of exploration is largely a delight.
Caravan SandWitch crafts a gently beautiful apocalypse for players to explore but is bogged down by its decision to withhold exploration tools from the player. An otherwise compelling, humble sci-fi tale of family and the machines of progress is held back by a game torn between its open world and goals as a focused narrative experience.
Caravan SandWitch was supposed to be a relaxing game about exploring a planet aboard a van. But instead, the repetition of scenarios and the limitations imposed by a system of collecting components required to proceed in the story hinder a considerable part of the experience.

Caravan Sandwitch’s story is deeply emotional, focusing not only on Sauge’s quest but also on the broader themes of family, hope, and the impact of sur-exploitation. A beautiful game providing a gentle and forgiving experience that prioritizes relaxation and enjoyment over challenge and competition. The game’s design ensures that players can savor the journey at their own pace, making it a gratifying addition to any gaming library.
Caravan SandWitch is an amazing addition to the landscape of cozy games. The story has a great narrative that will keep you interested for the long haul. If nonstop action is your thing, then this is not the game for you. However, the fun quests and the developed world available to explore have more than enough for gamers wanting their next story-led escape.
Caravan Sandwitch may offer a lot of gameplay systems we’ve seen before, but its cast and story feel part of the gameplay in ways that really make this game stand out. I would often just pick a direction and explore and take the van for a joy ride. While I would have loved a radio to swap to one of the game’s incredible songs, I would encounter small radios here and there and just take in the music and view. Caravan Sandwitch is special. Its joyful writing and charm are everywhere you look, with a crisp and gorgeous presentation on the PS5 that showcases one stunning experience to enjoy, and savor, and now all I can think about is sandwiches..
Caravan SandWitch is a relaxing game about exploring, discovering old ruins and vibrant landscapes, and helping the planet’s communities A road trip across a long-forgotten yet strangely cheerful sci-fi planet, it’s hard to think of a better game to play to shut your brain off and relax after a long day.
Amazing visuals can't save this game from its boring gameplay, dull characters, and myriad of design problems.

Caravan SandWitch is a beautiful adventure that covers stories of struggles and grief, paired with pleasant French vocals and a vibrant art style. And even though I found its main progression to be tedious, I did enjoy exploring the world of Cigalo and learning about its lovely peoples. If you seek a nomad’s adventure, van included, look no further than this little journey right here.
In Caravan SandWitch, I explore a beautifully broken world with my caravan in search of my missing sister. I upgrade it over time, which allows me to progress further and further. At the beginning, I enjoyed the calm gameplay. However, it quickly became repetitive and felt more like work than fun. Thanks to the great story, however, I stayed with it until the end. If you like relaxing games and short Metroidvanias, I can recommend Caravan SandWitch. Everyone else should keep their hands off it.
