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.

66/100
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.

Cute game
I really like playing this, as it has beautiful art, good plot. The tasks were repetitive and daunting however, was just a lot of running back and forth to find the ingredients, yes it`s the whole purpose of the game, but I couldn`t help but found it tiresome. Didn`t get to finish the game because of that, otherwise it was a nice game.

The grindcreep just keeps getting worse
A semi open world adventuire entirely about crafting, you need to craft traps and weapons in order to deal with enemies and critters to get more mats to craft even more things, at first it was alright, a little bit of farming doesn't hurt anyone, but then you get to more advanced recipes that require intermedaite steps and you'll start eating through resources faster than you can count, at that point the grinding becomes unbearable, running around the forest for 20 minutes harvesting wood is not what I'd call a joyful experience.
