Travellers Rest

Loved it... until I didn't. I'll keep this relatively spoiler free, promise. Coming from years of playing Harvest Moon, Stardew, etc., this was everything I wanted, 1.) a far more interesting take on a farm game, 2.) lots of elements that truly feel considered and geared towards playability, and 3.) an interesting story. I was excited to tell my friends I found smth we could all play together that's even better than Stardew. The storyline is where record skipped for me. Just when it feels like things were getting good, they were completely undercut by fourth wall breaking character dialogue that points to 1.) the fact that the game is still in development (we know, so it seems like a weird thing to reiterate in-game) and that 2.) the devs have no idea where the story is going to go... idk, it just felt like a huge miss where there was opportunity to get ppl excited about the story in an immersive way. Instead, I came away wondering if the story is more of an afterthought. tl;dr, end of the latest part of the story was a huge turnoff. Undecided on investing more time in it.

初看是个不错的游戏，细玩下来感觉这制作者诡异的把独立游戏做出了大厂才有的罐头感，核心的酒馆部分很浅，并且还在持续的加一堆很浅的内容，但是画面又还不错。我印象中的独立游戏应该是重玩法，画面其次，但这游戏玩法很一般，酒馆明明还有很多可以加的东西，把酒馆这一项做深了就不错了，这制作组是报的什么心态在做这个游戏呢...

Another update with a lot of new decoration items and features, and the Reputation Level is still stuck at 55 and no new Dining Zones either. I am sad because I want to play Traveller's Rest not whatever this game is becoming.

I think it's time for me to share my thoughts about this game. Most of the recent negative reviews i read pretty much sums up what i'm feeling. The game is not going in the direction that i hoped for. But, i still need to give it a thumbs up. Let me explain. When i bought the game last year, most of the gameplay was centered on the tavern management and being an innkeeper. Farming, Animals and Fishing was already implemented into the game. I enjoyed farming my owned ingredients, but i let down anything related to animals and fishing, mostly because it was not interresting enough for me, too time consuming, and completely skippable by purchasing fishes and animal products directly from vendors. My gameplay loop was waking up in the morning, go to town to buy seeds, meat and fish, do a bit of farming, prepare drinks and cook food, that was the morning chores.. then open the tavern and play as the bartender/server for the rest of the in-game day. I absolutely enjoy anything i do inside the tavern, espicially taking care of food and serving drinks. That's pretty simple in term of gameplay, but that's the part i enjoyed the most. Doing that task gives reputation, that is used to buy more recipe for variety, which gave me a good sense of progression. I was absolutely loving the game in it's current state and was thrilled to see that it's still early access, expecting more and more content. Then, more content came. More content that are not directly related to the tavern. A large update dedicated to mining. While it's still completely optional, mining is required to unlock tools and items that goes inside the tavern. That means a large potion of the game-time goes into mining. And now a whole large update dedicated to magic. That's means more things to do, more area, more running around the world, which eats up time could have been added to direct tavern management. I just want to be clear though. All that added content is very nice. It's enjoyable. It's polished and very well made. If i had never ever heard of Traveller's Rest before and jumped into the game right now, maybe i would enjoy it all as a whole and wouldn't complain at all. So here i am. I purchased a game that i thought would go all in into tavern management, but it decided to expand in every other direction instead. However, the core of the game i purchased is still completely intact, the same gameplay loop that i enjoyed last year is untouched and the extra content is technically optional. Sometimes, games turn around and go in another direction, completely altering the gameplay and changing mechanics. It's not the case here. I'm still going back to play it and enjoy the game. I'm still glad of my purchase and i wouldn't ask for a refund even if i could. So i really cannot give it a thumbs down. But, i think it's time for me to let down my hopes. The tavern management side of this game seems to be complete, and the future updates will most likely go elsewhere.

你们干脆和紫色晶石一样做几十年算了，永远别上正式版哦。

Leans to hard into crafting/mining/farming and developing your "plot of land" and not enough on running a tavern. It's basically Stardew valley if you moonlit at the Stardrop Saloon. Frankly it's fine, but it'd have been much, much better if it went full into the tavern running and didn't try and to be Stardew valley.

Игре почти 6 лет а дождь до сих пор грядки не поливает...

Puntos positivos: -El estilo gráfico es agradable. -El inventario de base es bastante amplio, lo cuál se agradece. -Tienes Stamina Infinita, no te vas a cansar por regar, minar, talar arboles, etc. Lo cual hace ciertas labores menos pesadas. -Los clientes molestos los puedes sacar a leches de tu taberna. -Hay recetas bastante variadas. -(este es menos importante pero me ha gustado) En diversos platos o ingredientes si lo juegas en español de España hay diversas referencias o memes reconocibles o juegos de palabras chorra en la descripción. -Me parece curioso y versátil que depende de los ingredientes que acabes usando valga más o menos el plato, obviamente un ingrediente más raro o lento de conseguir dará más dinero. -La interfaz esta bien, te permite ver desde el menú las recetas que puedes hacer contando los ingredientes que lleves encima y los que tienes en la taberna al mismo tiempo. Puntos negativos: -Todo es CARÍSIMO tanto ingredientes, como recetas, semillas, mobiliario o ampliación de taberna. -Remarco lo de que todo es caro, en comparación al poco dinero que ganas en early game, es decir vas a tener un inicio bastante lento da igual que intentes minmaxear con diversos platos e ingredientes. -Las recetas de comida, en el juego empiezas con unas cuantas obviamente y a medida que subes de rango desbloqueas nuevas, pero, la mayoría de recetas de early game te piden ingredientes que tú NO puedes conseguir por estación del año, a menos que vayas a un mercader y aleatoriamente esa semana lo tenga tienes recetas muertas. Otras recetas te piden una mesa de crafteo especifica que hasta que no entras en mid game no las desbloqueas, por ello es una tontería que existan nada más empezar si nunca las podrás hacer al principio del juego. -Las recetas de crafteo ya no es que solo sean caras de desbloquear, te piden demasiados materiales para craftear la más mínima tontería. -Ramas de talentos: Como en muchos juegos tienes perks y talentos, pero, los talentos que te ofrece el juego en early son lamentables, tienes un 2% de probabilidades que tu siguiente pedido ganes el doble y los de mid game para cuando llegas ya vas moderadamente bien y no son tan necesarios, un reajuste estaría bien. -No puedes vender componentes, cosas crafteadas o ingredientes cultivados por ti de ninguna manera por si quisieras sacar algo de dinero, estaría bien que se permitiera dado que el early es demasiado lento y los pedidos que puedes enviar son demasiado específicos para sacar beneficio y depender de ellos no es viable. -El diseño de tu avatar esta decente pero si tienes un avatar femenino de base tienes uno o dos peinados largos el resto son pelo corto (menos importante pero a mi me gusta llevar el pelo más largo en los juegos). CONCLUSIÓN FINAL - El juego es bonito, vas a tu ritmo, puedes jugar con el cerebro medio apagado, pero tienes que tener en mente que el inicio del juego respecto a otros juegos de gestión es bastante lento, pero luego se ameniza. Si no tienes problema con ello el juego lo disfrutarás. Dado que el juego aún esta en early access podrán mejorarlo bastante, aún asi si te gustan juegos tipo stardew valley pero con temática de taberna te lo recomiendo. Y si te has tragado toda esta review hasta el final que sepás que eres la H*stia :D.
