Hollow Island

MANO! ESSE JOGO É INCRÍVEL! Amo esse cara, muito obrigado por essa obra de arte maravilhosa!

Combat is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rubbish that you can't even hit the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobs in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tutorial. This means that you SLOWLY get beaten down, while frantically swinging your sword at them, without ever hitting anything. Never playing this absolute arsewater game ever again, and I regret even buying it on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sale. ♥♥♥♥ this game.

The game literally opens with an elderly Fargoth asking you to get his ring out of a barrel, as well as a very Diablo 1-esque witch type woman named Mag who lives in a shack away from town who sells you potions and such. If you get those two references, buy this game now. Otherwise, Hollow Island is a relaxing game with relaxing music about living on a relaxing island doing a lot of relaxing things like farming, fishing, combat, and crafting. Overall very relaxing and open ended. Highly recommended.

Very fun game. A lovingly-crafted throwback to a more simple era of gaming, Hollow Island offers exploration, a great deal of crafting, and ultimately base/town building. I'd recommend it to any players who appreciate pixel art, RPGs, or base building games. The only nit I have to pick so far, is that achievements don't seem to be unlocking for me at all... A strange conundrum, that, and hopefully one that is addressed by the devs. Other than that, I look forward to continuing to develop my small hamlet into a proper town, and to see what other secrets the Hollow Island has left to discover! EDIT: Please disregard that bit about achievements - apparently it's a problem on my end that I have to resolve! >_<

Yes, it's another ranching sim, but the focus here is more on exploration and dungeon diving than the actual planting and animal care. Your farm takes care of itself, and so do your cows and chickens... leaving you more time to beat up goblins, mine for ores and make yourself some awesome gear!

This game is awesome! The soundtrack is also incredible, I listen to it almost daily!

It plays very similarly to Stardew Valley, without the social or schedule components of that game, and is sort of like a stripped-down alpha of that game, perfect for if you're not interested in those aspects of Stardew Valley. For me personally, I'm not a big fan of these games, and while I quickly lost interest in the cycle of explore, collect, craft, the music of this game really captivated me. It really cannot be said enough, the soundtrack of this game is on Minecraft levels of cozy, perfect for curling up inside while its snowing. Major props to the artist, Vindsvept, for this awesome soundtrack. The game itself is admittedly somewhat forgettable I'm sorry to say, but it's cheap. Get it on sale.

Pros: - A lot of content considering the low price. - Somewhat open and you can do different things, like a hint of Stardew Valley. - Unique pixel art style. Especially the portraits are interesting. - A robust and charming take on a genre that doesn't have that many games. Cons: - Even though it's seemingly open, it does feel like you have to do stuff in a linear order. - Very grindy and slow. - Related to the grind and linearity: you see the repeating patterns pretty quickly. Get iron pickaxe to mine gold for gold pickaxe to mine the next mineral tier and fight the next tier of enemies etc. - Combat is... weird. Not exactly clunky, but it doesn't feel fun and intuitive. The "engine" is good for exploring, building and all that, but not so much for combat. All in all, I got tired of it after ~12h, estimating I had completed maybe 50-60% of the game. Recommended to people who like stuff like Stardew and Graveyard Keeper.

Recommandé : NON C'est très séduisant quand on regarde les videos de présentation. J'étais très impatient d'y jouer. Mais j'ai vite déchanté lorsque je découvre d'abord le système de permis, Je pensais plutôt à un jeu open world où l'on s'installe librement. Tout faux. Ensuite le fatal error : la pauvreté du système de combat corps à corps. Installation->Déception->Demande de remboursement Tellement d'autre meilleurs jeux à jouer.
