Wanderstop

É "só" um simulador de chá? "É". Mas vale cada segundo jogado e cada centavo.

Me encantó, lo disfrute de principio a fin, desde la visual, jugabilidad y música.

Boro my beloved, I miss you dearly

Linda historia, lindo visualmente, jugalo

[h3]Cozy, also Game[/h3] I recently railed against cozy games (and ILA specifically) for being lazy. So many cozy game devs throw minimilistic tinkly piano music over a pastel background and give up. No story, bad gameplay, zero effort whatsoever. This makes the adjective "cozy" somewhat of a minefield; maybe you'll find something presentable, but it's better to avoid cozy games altogether. Well, I return from the breach to tell you Wanderstop is actually good. Good animation, fun characters, a narrative that wonderfully integrates the game's themes, and excellent voice acting deliver a game that I still didn't like. One of the ways Wanderstop achieves its ludonarrative goals is by not giving players objectives. There are no timers. There are no meters. There are no collectable lists. The achievements are awarded completely at random. Almost all of your customizations are swept away after every chapter like sandcastles. The game does recognize some forms of mastery (ie. Bolo remarks if you perfectly fill a cup in a single continuous pull), but it doesn't get recorded anywhere or anything. This decision - the fulcrum around which the entire game pivots - ironically made the game unappealing to me despite my burnout supposedly making me the target audience. I recognize that it's a good game. I stand by all of the lip service I served it in the opening paragraphs. It just isn't for me. Footnote/advisory: Despite the checkmark, this game does not run properly on Ubuntu with my specific hardware. I played the game offline on a Windows partition, then idled in the non-working menu to mill enough "played time" to place this review.

oui

Jeu introspectif posé. Quelques longueurs, mais la DA et l'ambiance cosy est sympathique. Meilleur en petites sessions.
