Critic Reviews for Where the Water Tastes Like Wine
A continent-sized anthology of American campfire tales that will keep pulling you in deeper, once you acclimatise to its slow pace.
There are beautiful and tragic scenes, songs, and passages to find in WTWTLW's journey, but they're spread far too thin.
Where The Water Tastes Like Wine shines with its incredible voice work, well-told stories that take on lives of their own, and many profound moments
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine celebrates storytelling but loses the plot
A unique game about collecting and trading stories across the American Dust Bowl doesn't give much room to craft your own story in the process.
One might say that Where the Water Tastes Like Wine isn't for everyone, that it may be seen as a more "artistic" title with a smaller amount of gameplay.
There is space in gaming for narrative output like this, but they need to be carefully tailored to be games first and experiences second. You don't even want to know what this water tastes like.
I love the idea of Where the Water Tastes Like Wine. It has a lot of personality, and several days after I finished it, I was still humming some of the songs to myself. However, it's impeded by a few gameplay quirks, like how tedious it is to move around.
