4.5/5 stars

While less carefree than simulation titles like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley, the casual pacing and nonchalant nature of the main character make Wytchwood a great pick for relaxing exploration-style games. It is also a great choice for those who enjoy crafting and survival games, but prefer to have questlines to follow instead of self-governed gameplay. While the 2D art style is fun and reminiscent of storybook illustrations, this game is likely not the best pick for younger players due to questlines dealing with horror elements, as well as graphic depictions of animal death when using traps and lures. However, fans of twisted fairytales and creepy magical plotlines will likely find Wytchwood an enjoyable and spine-tingling experience.

Wytchwood isn’t a bad game because it’s easier than Dark Souls. Difficulty is not the only reason to play a game. But Wytchwood does let the player down with such a vague and uninteresting story. A game needs a hook, and this story ain’t it. Crafting games make me uniquely aware of how much time I am wasting by playing them. But in the end, I like to look back at the little work of art I made by building a house, or a city, or a space station. In Wytchwood I am just collecting ingredients because the game told me to collect those ingredients. It’s an attractive enough game, but it needs something else substantial.

If you want to step in the world of fairy tale, gothic fable whilst throwing in crafting spells and a linear simplistic story set within an explorable world, Wytchwood is for you. Beautiful visuals and an alluring soundtrack. This game could be seen as mundane and repetitive, with little combat or puzzle, however Wytchwood casts a spell on the player that will have you immersed into the art of enchantment for hours.

Dont Starve but you can't starve

I will be straight forward here. The game is great. Its easy.. no i mean eazzyyy, its like Dont starve on toddler mod. However its interesting and the story trys to show you what kinda people you meet in everyday life :) I will not spoil the mechanics or anything its just point and click although you can use your keyboard to navigate easier. This game has no narration so bear that in mind. It has simple puzzles and some lite humor. I guess this game is aimed for younger player or your mom or girlfirend or.. OR.. thoes indie connoisseurs. To be compleatly honest i'm not a big Indie game fan, and even if i got my hands on very good indie title I tend to drop it after sometime in favor of my favorite genre. So why did I buy it? because I felt like Im playing the same type of genre over and over again and Im getting bored or old.

Relaxing, beautiful gem - good support!

I purchased this game for my wife (she's usually quite discerning about games) and she absolutely loves it. The graphics are really beautiful and she finds it fun, relaxing and fulfilling to play. We did run into some bugs however, that stopped the story progressing. The reason that it's still a 5/5 rating is that we raised a ticket with the Devs (I assume other's did too of course), and it was resolved after 1 week - they pushed an update and it was sorted. Really great the Devs are so responsive - top job!

Great at first but then the grind starts

The first four souls were fun, but then you realise you have to do this eight more times.

A Delight!

Finished the game in about 9+ hours. Even though some of the crafting can be lengthy, you have no limit in inventory space and items can be crafted anywhere (no need to go to a crafting station or something like that). I specially enjoyed being able to do things at my own pace and collect things everywhere. The story was good and the ending was fulfilling. The art and music is amazing.

Finished it with my four year old

Nice story with a twist at the end. The game mechanics consists of gathering ingredients all over the maps to unlock and create potions. These potions are given to different characters and placed in certain places to advance the story. The game is easy and a bit grindy. I recommend gathering all the ingredients one sees instead of just the ones one needs. That way you can have ingredients ready for future potions without having to travel all over the maps. I played it with my four year old and he loved it. I loved spending time with him playing it. I moved the witch using the keyboard and he picked up the ingredients using the mouse. Parts of the game were a bit scary. To make it less scary I read the dialogue differently so it wouldn't be so scary for him. We finished it and he wants to play it again, but I'm not ready to replay it so we started Potion Craft which he loves also.
