Tavern Keeper 🍻

This one is a bit difficult to recommend. Whether you'll enjoy it really depends on what kind of player you are. If you enjoy decorating and building your own furniture using the available building blocks, this might be the game for you. However, if furnishing and decorating feel like a chore, and you're looking for a management simulation like the Two Point-series or Theme Hospital, where you find the fun from optimizing systems, I'd recommend skipping this one. For example, to earn a high furnishing score, you'll likely need to build your own bookshelves, tables, and other furniture, as it takes a while to unlock the premade options. I wish the game included more premade furniture so I didn't have to open the workshop just to create something as simple as a table with a tablecloth with a candle on it, just to upgrade it from a one-star table to a two-star table.

나온지 꽤 됐는데 새로운 시나리오랑 성급 추가될 때 된 거 같은데? 샌박모드라도 내던가...일 안하냐? 출시일 이후로 UI랑 자잘한 버그 패치 정도밖에 안 함. 일 좀 해라 돈 많이 받고있잖아 너네. +) 추가 색상 선택 도구, 그리고 주문 자동화 하나 띡 해놓고 첫번째 메이저 업데이트 랍시고 내놓은 꼬라지보면, 다음 성급이랑 신맵은 또 반년있다가 볼까말까 함. 아직 안 사신분들은 존버했다가 할인 50%즘 할 때 사세요 그래야 돈 안 아까움

Tavern Keeper is an absolutely breathtaking game. The planning and management aspects are incredibly fun, from creating your own dishes to assigning different tasks to employees based on their unique skills. Being able to set your own prices also adds a great layer of strategy and freedom. The game is full of humor, which gives it so much charm and personality. It constantly manages to stay entertaining while still being relaxing to play. But the best part of the game is definitely the building and decorating system. There are so many possibilities when it comes to layouts, sizes, colors, and combinations that you can really let your creativity run wild. What makes it even better is that designing a beautiful tavern is actually rewarded by the game, so it never feels pointless to spend time making everything look amazing. Another thing I love is the excitement of unlocking new items and features. There is always something new to look forward to, which keeps the game fresh and motivating. If I could wish for one additional feature, it would be some kind of automation system for shopping and restocking resources, that would make the experience even better. :D Overall, this game is simply fantastic and incredibly enjoyable to play.

好玩是好玩，但是推出这么久了，到现在一个重大更新都没有，这是在干什么？如果目前的内容就已经是全部的游戏了，那你卖30就好了呀？

TLDR; If you like whimsy, fantasy settings done in a strategy simulation style (all assets, animations, and voices done by humans and not AI slop) buy the game. Even the early access content offers 10+ hours of gameplay, and the Devs are actively working on adding more content (+ fixing bugs that have been reported). ------- I recently saw someone ask whether this game is worth it, given its current release status. Especially since only three locations are currently unlocked in the story/campaign. That said, it’s worth keeping in mind that the development team has already showcased a roadmap for 2026 (with more content TBD), which includes additional locations. To put it short and sweet: it took me roughly 10 hours to get through the first three tavern stories on my first blind playthrough. Each location naturally took longer than the last as I progressed. That’s more playtime than some AAA games offer nowadays at base levels. Since this is a strategy simulation, some players may finish faster while others may take longer. Honestly, it really depends on the individual and how quickly they grasp the mechanics (or choose to skip or ignore story events). Beyond the 10+ hours of story content already available, the game’s art style, fully voiced English narration, clean UI layout, the option to play freely outside of the campaigns, and the ability to create unique items and props all make it worth the cost, in my opinion. Yes, the game is in Early Access, but there is already a lot to do in its current state. On top of that, the developers are actively listening to feedback. This is showcased by the fact that the first minor update will include a color wheel for items — something suggested by the community — as well as ongoing bug fixes being implemented as issues are reported. In my humble opinion, it is absolutely worth it.

Not worth $30 in Early Access. I had fun with the missions available but it gets old pretty quick and they haven't been adding updates or any new gameplay. Just more colors. If they had a sandbox mode where you could change walls, that would have kept me busy, but you are forced into standard layouts from missions. Meh. I'd refund it if I could

开发这么久不出正式版，不出新地图，憋了半天重大更新来个可以调色了。我能说你们是准备着圈钱跑路压根没想继续开发吗？

Ich schreibe echt selten Reviews, aber hier muss ich es einfach loswerden. Das Game ist wirklich ein absolutes Highlight! Es hat so einen geilen Humor, dazu ist die Organisation der Taverne angenehm komplex! Die Geschichte macht auch richtig Spaß! Kurz gesagt: Ein richtig schönes Cozy-Game! Ich wollte einfach immer weiterspielen! Lang gesagt: Es ist ein bisschen eine Mischung aus: Pizza Connection – Taverne einrichten, Schichtpläne erstellen, Essen und Trinken organisieren etc. Die Sims – die Mitarbeiter haben Bedürfnisse und Vorlieben bezüglich Einrichtung und Unterkunft. Baldur’s Gate – In jedem Kapitel begleitet einen ein Erzähler durch die Story (die Stimme aus Baldur’s Gate 3), und Gäste bringen Ereignisse hervor, bei denen man als Tavernenleiter Entscheidungen trifft. Zudem gibt es ständig kleine Anspielungen und Secrets auf andere Fantasywelten, z. B. Herr der Ringe. Ich habe überhaupt nicht bemerkt, dass das Game im Early Access ist. Mir sind absolut keine Bugs oder Fehler aufgefallen. Außerdem hat Tavern Keeper jetzt schon so viel tiefe, Objekte, Ereignisse etc. Dadurch, dass man selbst Objekte designen kann (was den Wert für „Dekor“ beeinflusst), verfällt man regelrecht in einen Rausch, die Taverne richtig schön zu gestalten. Der Soundtrack ist auch richtig klasse (ich hatte im Real Life auf der Arbeit tagelang einen Ohrwurm … danke dafür!). In jeder Region gibt es eine etwas andere Version. Am besten gefiel mir die der Orks xDD Danke an das Team von Greenheart Games. Bitte mehr davon!
