Cute wine tycoon game

Got this on a different platform and is one of my favourite tycoon games. If you're really into wine then you will really enjoy this game. The flavour and tone is spot on for casual fun and it’s clear that it is a labour of love. The music is unique and interesting (clarinet based music) and the graphics complement the game well. The game plays almost like a real-time board game where the randomised map expands as you play and each month feels like a turn. There is no pressure at all and you can expand your vineyard at a pace that suits you. I haven't experienced any bugs while playing. A few niggles. Critics sometimes giving you incorrect advice which is a mechanic I don't like. If you haven't made a perfect wine of a particular grape type before, the advice can really throw you off. There are a small number of events and you will experience the same event multiple times on a play-through. The event is solved in the same way each time it occurs. Would award four and a half stars if GOG allowed it.

cute, interesting, but..

.. the scrolling of information in some places is infuriating. Also: why it defaults to the normal speed after each event even if i was on highest speed..? This game looks cute but it is very very slowly advancing even at the normal difficulty. It asks too much time from the player and time is very valuable.. Meh..

I've wasted hours of my life on this.

The beginning hours are bad, and you have to do your own research online in order to play this thing. Buttons and interface are non-intuitive, and a button which should cancel or exit is actual a one time thing like rename; leaving the exit to a small x on the top right. And please make it easier for me and let me call up the menu by pressing escape. Also, isn't it easier to click on your main building in order to enter it? You can only enter it by pressing the second button from the top right. And why can't I harvest one of the crops first? There could easily be a button on the right above or below the 3 crops that says 'harvest this one now'. AS is, a single button harvest everything, whether you want to keep one or not. I felt my IQ drop as I struggle to give it a chance. I finally gave up when I spent about 2 hours trying to get a 5 star 'Rkatsiteli', and I found the only way to do it is to nerf your judges. There were no combinations that gave me a 5 star Rkatsiteli when you invite 3 5-star judges. I also hit a bug where my screen goes blur as my tavern fails to load. I had to get out and back in again. This is lazy version of a Skinner box; and I don't recommend it to anyone. Please go play "Stardew Valley" instead.

Weird mix of micromanagement and RNG

Winemaking... alright. Each wine is scored in four different characteristics, and you get the numerical values of all, and the game gives you equations on how to manage them through wine processing, and there is almost zero automation on that. Fermentation is timed and limited to 2 months, but ageing has no timer like "bottle the wine after X months". You simply have to remember that and count along. Processing the wine is done in step-by-step wizard dialogs, but if you have more than one variety of grapes, each gets it's own tab, and can be quite easily forgotten. The game won't pre-select even the only possible choice, leaving you with having to select the only real selection available. So much for useless micromanagement. But thare's only one "harvest" option, without possibility to harvest per variety. So much for useful micromanagement. Given plenty issues like those, cosmetic things like day-and-night cycle (where each day is approx. a game month long and only affects map visibility... not in a good way) aren't the things that drove the rating down for me. The idea of the game is good! Spend some love on the controls. Throw in some more options like "Weather and climate", [Harvest variety]/[Harvest all] buttons Tip: UI was too unintuitive and arbitrary.

Original managment game

I don't play managment game that much, but the particuliar theme of this one push me too try it. A game where you make wine is one of a kind. I found it quite difficult. The game is slow and a mistake can make you loose. I did have to retry several time. You start with one vine, she will grow depending on the weather and you have to cut leaves clerverly to bring being the vine to the right stat. Then you will have to go trought the process of making the wine, in 4 steps, adjusting the characteristics. The goal is to have a 5-stars wine. The critics of your wine gives you indications of what you can improve to make your wine better. So i encourage you to take note with the stats and indicate when you need to increase or decrease one. Making money, you will be able to unlock skills and more wine type to help you in your task. The difficulty will be to found the perfect balance to get a 5 stars wine to gets more money. The music is unique, classy and the graphics are minimalistic. Some BlackSpot : there is a lot of reading at the begining to explain you the mechanics. I encourage you not to skip : it is essential to understand the game and progress. There are only english, dutch and chinese (i believe) version so if you dint' speak one of this language well this could be harder for you. It's really slow and can gets frustrating when you follow the indication to make your wine better and this doesnt work. If you like tycoon game or slow maganement game, go for it. Overall an original game that i enjoyed playing, relaxing in a way by its design and atmosphere. For now, i played ten hours and i'm not at the end game.
