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.

9/10

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.

Pretty grind

I found the game relies heavily on grind very fast - grind becomes the game. Still pushed on. Became painfully void of enjoyment, so I quit - it felt like an empty, repetitive time-eater with a workload. Even after long months I have no desire to revisit it. As an rpg, it promised an interesting story, but turned out to have little to meaningfully engage with - little to connect with as a character. If this was due to me not exploring enough or leaving out elements, it would be fine - but it is built into the game mechanics - almost like having to work a vast field running up and down a long time only to get a yield of a few blades of of grass. Sure, there is no time limit and there are a few locals to talk to for a break - but then you find out you need at least 50 grass blades to proceed - then on to the next field. This type of gameplay hardly feels like an adventure. The visuals and colours are super beautiful though.

excellent writing and visuals

Spent 6 or so hours in the game thus far and I thoroughly enjoy it. Alot of grind and running around, but the art style and storytelling are wonderful. I find myself getting lost in the chores and quite enjoy running about gathering all the resources needed for the potions and such. I can see myself playing this game for many more hours to come. I purchased it on sale, but would truly pay full price and be satisfied. Very enjoyable game if you like witches and potions and curses and such. 10/10
