Littlewood

Ah, j'ai vraiment aimé jouer à ce jeu, il est très chill, pas prise de tête, mais il te prend de fou. J'ai aimé les personnages et les mécaniques, qui nous simplifiaient tellement la vie. Tu peux modifier ta ville et faire un peu les mêmes choses que dans Animal Crossing (musée, bouger les éléments, planter des fruits et des champs etc) mais beaucoup plus facilement ! Mais les personnages sont plus intéressants à interagir avec, et il y a plusieurs lieux à développer et améliorer, c'est vraiment très cool ! Les fins de journées où tu vois tous tes niveaux de caractéristiques et de relation augmentaient sont très satisfaisantes. GROS BÉMOL : la "fin", il y a un build up narratif qui ne mène à rien, et tu ne sais pas quand vraiment arrêter car la fin n'arrive pas vraiment ? Les crédits apparaissent quand tu te maries à un PNJ, c'est pas très satisfaisant. J'ai l'impression qu'ils auraient voulu mettre une fin mais ils n'ont pas eu le temps ou je ne sais pas ?? Très frustrant. Autre chose assez énervante : J'ai passé des journées à succéder les jours pour avoir UN OBJET dont j'avais besoin pour améliorer tel truc, puis tel autre, ou construire je ne sais quoi, pour au final parfois pas de récompense spécifique. C'est vraiment une question de chance, mais ça m'a gâché des moments de jeu, malheureusement, surtout car à la fin tu n'as rien d'autres à faire, une fois que tu as tout améliorer, tu t'es marié, etc. Ça ne dérangera certainement pas les chasseurs de Shiny cependant, donc ça dépend de vos préférences sur ce point ! Mais hormis ça, vraiment, j'ai adoré y jouer.

Cute and cozy. It runs perfect in Steam Deck

Normally I don't like writing reviews for games before I've at least considered them "beaten", but I'm going to make an exception for Littlewood because of my limited free time and the nature of the game. Littlewood is a very casual town/farm/life sim where you build up a new village after the end of an epic quest that you've forgotten. The concept, I think, is pretty neat- though it's mostly just a dialog thing and doesn't really impact the world more than how the npcs interact with you. What the game boils down to is busy work: Gather resources, craft materials, build structures. Every action other than walking and talking takes up time in the day, and when you fill the bar you go and sleep to progress to the next day. You repeat, and repeat, and repeat until you build up the town you want because I can't imagine there's really any endgame. Mostly just decorating and building relationships. I do the the NPCs to the point that I've unlocked them, they all have pretty decent personalities and they are fun to interact with. You can have them follow you, which is cute, though that just fills the relationship meter more and gives you some passive income while you spend energy. The fact that you kind of have no gender is a neat touch, which I think means you can romance just about anyone without having to assume any sexualities (Not that that matters, but it does make things a bit less cheesy). The big things that I dislike are the energy system, and the process of upgrading buildings. As previously stated you have limited energy, and the only way to increase that is with town "wishes". The wishes are random, and only reset twice per week, so you just kind of have to hope you can get more or your days become very same-y very fast. Every facility you build can also be upgraded with donations, but most of the levels you have to progress through are just filler that randomly give you 3 "rare items" with no context or relation to the building you're upgrading. I feel like streamlining that process would have been a bit more smooth, even if the upgrade process was made slightly more difficult. That being said, I think Littlewood is an overall good experience. It really makes me feel like I'm playing Forager again with how you collect resources, though without the exact same dopamine loop that keeps me hooked to it. If I had more time I would probably be willing to sink a lot more of it into Littlewood, but I will at the very least return to it now and again to burn a little free time in a comfy way.

I got invested in this game and the storyline, but ran into a game breaking bug with a cut scene with Terric. It blank screens the game. Extremely frustrating as the game does not auto save at the end of every day. Seems like a great oversight. I don't even mind the grind but playing the same 7 days on repeat to eventually need to redo them with no change no matter how I try to change my town around to stop this weird bug is horrible.

My favorite part about this game is that time only progresses when you do tasks, so you can step away or muck about IRL and not feel like you're playing sub-optimally. The gameplay loop is fun. The game is cute and easy. There isn't much depth, which could be a pro or a con depending on what you're looking for. The most annoying aspect for me was that every character in the game is written like they are an actual 5-10 year old just XD RANDOM SPORK OF DOOM LOL. It seems like the developer only expected relatively young children to play the game I guess. Still a nice game. 6-7/10ish for me personally.

very chill and very cute. i still have lots of things left to do, but feel like ive already done so much.

Not only is this the most wonderful game, but it came in a particularly difficult time in my life. And so, it'll always have a special place in my heart. I've played through it a few times now but i'm sure i'll come back again and again.
