Caravan SandWitch Reviews
Caravan SandWitch is a small-scale open world adventure that delivers a tale that’s as heart warming as it is sombre; it’s filled with nuanced relationships and impressively deep lore, and I found it a joy to experience. There’s little to fault about the cosy, risk free gameplay except that it simply may not be to everybody’s taste, but for me, it makes a nice change of pace to a landscape that’s currently bubbling over with ultra-tough soulslike adventures. Pottering around in your beat up old van and doing good deeds for people feels genuinely rewarding, and exploring the final abandoned outposts of civilisation on Cigalo offers a sense of adventure that’s so much bigger than its 10-15 hour runtime.
Caravan SandWitch has great visuals, an excellent story, and very engaging exploration, but the lack of enemies (and combat) makes the game somewhat monotonous. However, for the price on the eShop and considering the positive aspects mentioned earlier, it’s a good option to pass the time during your free hours.

A science fiction adventure with its heart in the right place, but which does little with its interesting formula.

Caravan SandWitch is an interesting and emotional adventure in a mysterious and beautiful open world. Plane Toad has managed to create an adventure free of combat mechanics and any type of danger where we can explore at our own pace while the story develops. A good narrative and good character design at the level of depth and development complete this great mystery and science fiction adventure that we cannot help but recommend.

Caravan SandWitch is a cozy, thoughtful game that stands out due to its emotional depth and engrossing world. The lack of combat might deter some, but those who enjoy narrative-heavy adventures will find plenty to love here. At the time of writing the performance issues on the Switch make it that bit harder to recommend on the system. But regardless of platform, Caravan SandWitch offers a touching, memorable journey that lingers with you long after you’ve finished playing.
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 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 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 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.
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.

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.
