Eastshade

作为步行模拟游戏，本应作为强项的沉浸感却做得很差。被预览图片骗进来，玩了以后发现实机画面和商店图片完全不是一回事，最高画质仍然粗糙的和网游一样，树叶都是模糊的贴图，优化也不行，固态硬盘都经常出现贴图加载延迟，空气墙和穿模也很多，探索的乐趣被平庸的画质和地图设计搞得兴趣索然，不好玩。 刚发售时以为开发团队需要时间打磨游戏，但过了8年重新玩发现问题都没解决。 顺便一提，猴子NPC都很丑，不如都换成熊

I loved this game. It is a relaxing adventure game, where you can do simple quests and have simple crafting mechanics. Nothing felt grindy, the achievements are all very doable. I just liked to explore stuff in this game, no monsters, no enemies, just a relaxed experience.

I've had this game sitting in my library for years and finally committed to playing it. I enjoyed my time. Very cozy atmosphere and more than I expected to do in this game honestly. A few bugs that still exist to this day that locked an achievement for me, which is sad. The game is not exactly painting, more like taking screenshots but it is incredibly charming and I liked exploring. After finishing this game I noticed the studio is making a new game which is great to hear since this released in 2019. Excited to see what is coming!

very relaxing game, the music and ambient sounds are perfect. ive thought about just sitting in a spot by the stream so i could take a nap the the crickets and frogs. i wish the map showed where i was and what direction i was facing. very simple to play sometimes i wish there was a little bit more direction, sometimes i feel i may be fumbling around winging it, although i suppose thats the way life is isnt it? definitly a free to roam kind of game and at your own pace, i dont feel rushed to do or complete anything, just BE

This was such a surprising game. I've never played anything quite like it before. It's beautifully done in every way. Each area is picturesque, the characters are well voiced and interesting, the music is lovely and the quests are fun, not tedious at all. The general mechanics are really unique while still having that comfortable WASD feel. Choices feel meaningful, and the end is very heartwarming. I cannot recommend this game enough if you want a relaxing and cozy experience filled with beauty.

Eastshade is a totally relaxing, stress-free escape to a beautiful world. Each character you meet has their own personality and backstory, and you are sure to walk away with plenty of new friends—except for the silly Reindeer with the jar on his head, who punches you in the face after you tell him his neighbor wants you to report him to law enforcement for child endangerment, causing him to immediately lose custody of his son without any actual evidence. He’s a bit cross! :P 10/10, super cozy time! ^_^

Completely cozy and immersive side quest game. It's just a knockout gorgeous world to explore. They knew exactly what vibe they were going for and just nailed it.

两年前我告别了林都，今天我再一次离开了这个美丽的海岛——东方之茵。如果说告别林都表达了即将离开家乡登船远航的激情与不舍之情，那么东方之茵对我来说就像是历经多年冒险之后的一次短暂的归乡之旅（虽然主角从未踏足此地）。停留虽短暂，但所留下的回忆却沉甸甸的，无论是身为玩家的我的，还是画家主角的，亦或是海岛上形形色色的角色们的。 东方之茵相比前作告别林拓展了地图，完善了世界观，让这个美丽的海岛变得更加栩栩如生。淳朴的林都镇，壮丽的纳瓦城，宏伟的巨树，冷峻的冰山，充满生机的绿色树林，一望无际的深蓝大海以及天上令人浮想联翩的类地行星，每一处风景都值得我驻足欣赏，但身为冒险家，我选择再次启航，所以，再见，东方之茵。

从初中开始在云电脑上玩过，就一直有执念，现在十八岁了终于有了steam买了玩了，很开心。游戏体验很休闲风景很美，就算是低配也带的动，非常推荐

idk. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. But I think more than anything else, just the lack of a real main story is what kind of was disappointing in the end. Leaving Lyndow disappointed me because it was just a taste, just a hint of a story. It was like the first 30 min of a walking simulator. So I was expecting Eastshade to be a walking simulator but with more meat to it, more of a real story. Instead it's not really much like Leaving Lyndow at all. Leaving Lyndow was totally focused on the main character leaving lyndow and everyone's reactions and opinions to that. It hinted at a larger story, but it was just a short vignette. I like the idea of Eastshade, but in the end it felt like a bit of a chore, i think the quest design and writing was not quite up to the task of supporting an open-world walking simulator. I love walking simulators, often when I play a really good RPG I wish it were a walking simulator instead, since combat in games is so boring. So Eastshade should have been right up my alley, but for me it felt a little too directionless. I get that that was the point, but having a really strong main story thread that pulls you in would not have detracted from the relaxing open-ended atmosphere in any way, in my opinion. Also, a lot of quests felt very difficult without referring to an external guide, I'm also kind of stupid, so it's hard for me to put the pieces together. And a pet peeve of mine is when you get a quest in a game, but you don't yet have the tools needed to accomplish the quest, but there is no way for the player to know that. Like for example, if there's a quest to help find a dropped object, it seems like if I look around I should be able to find it, and it's not intuitive that I would need magic glasses or magic tea to be able to find a normal mundane dropped object. Anyway, that's just my opinion based on my impressions from the trailer vs what I experienced. At first I was really drawn in, but then after the honeymoon period it just didn't seem quite like what I was hoping. I would love to see more games like this, but with a bit more focus on the story itself. And then just some things that I might enjoy in a game like this would be things like, 3rd person, companion characters or party members that travel with you, and the player character having a voice. I'm not saying that Eastshade should have had those things, I'm saying that in the future it could be interesting to see more of these kind of adventure games and maybe some of them could be 3rd person, or have companions, and such. Eastshade was fine as a solitary first person game, my issue with Eastshade is mainly just the lack of a strong story to draw me in.
