Having only about 2.8 hours in the game, I am already encapsulated by the environment, how true the Wendigo's behaviors are to a typical Wendigo such as mimicking voices or animal calls to get the attention of its prey. Every time I play the game it never ceases to give me goosebumps. I look forward to seeing where the developer takes the game and I'm happy I found the game through IGP and Fooster!

Reminiscent of games like Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley is a wonderful game that I've loved playing for years now. I love the kind of games that allow you to do as you wish, while making friends and even partners with the townsfolk.

Despite the how taxing the game can be on older computers, it has come a long way from the days of Alpha 10, when I first started playing. Unfortunately, there has been bad with the good. The leveling system is constantly being written and re-written and re-re-written. It's beginning to feel quite a bit like TFP are trying to push everyone towards a very specific playstyle despite the game being labeled as a "sandbox" title.

Overall though, if you're looking for an experience with zombies of different types, animals that are a threat, and the sandbox building experience one would get in say, Minecraft, then this is the game for you.

When I play this game, I feel almost like Fox Mulder if he had been placed in the SETI program instead of the X-Files. Wonderful game, can't wait to see what the future brings!

Simple to follow, easy to play. A great time passer.

Game Rating 1/10

A very well made game all in all. Lose your items and perks on death, but you don't get reset to level 1. Easy to learn, challenging to play. Just what I like to see in a game like this, and the only thing you'd ever have to pay for is the UC, which is useful for some things if you're willing to spend the money for it. Grinding is hard, health drops randomly, and there are stages and secrets to go through and find.

Very fun game to play, difficult at times but that's all part of the fun!
