Cozy Caravan

A charming little title that gives exactly what it offers. It's cozy, sweet, and low stress. The gameplay loop may not be for everyone. You go around finding people who need help and gathering resources to help, to craft and cook with, and sometimes to sell. There are no dragons to slay, no epic shootouts, but a simple, honest, and heartfelt game with an ending that made me misty eyed. If you're looking to spend time in a gentle and kind world with a low-stakes environment this may be the game for you.

Хорошая игра, милый визуальный стиль и приятная музыка. Присутствует сюжет, соответствующий играм подобного жанра. Очень комфортно играть именно с геймпада, желательно лёжа) По своей сути, мне игра напоминает Animal Crossing, в некоторых моментах уж слишком сильно. Преимущества: - Большой и разнообразный мир, наполненный активностями. - Кастомизация на высоком уровне. - Мир выглядит и чувствуется живым. - Много предметов для крафта. - Имеются прикольные отсылочки. Недостатки: - Попадаются длинные и душные задания (сплошные дальние поездки из точки А в Б). Что-то среднее между достоинствами и недостатками: - После 20-ти часов в игре, начинает надоедать кататься из одной точки карты в другую, но в этом есть какой-то свой медитативный процесс. - Поиск предметов на карте. Лично мне было интересно находить все самой, но тут кому как. Общая оценка 8/10 Понимаю Буббу, прожорливая и недовольная жабка

This game got me through a depressive spiral so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I heard mixed reactions online when I was first deciding to get it but decided to give it a shot anyways and I'm glad I did. It's a super fun, cozy experience, complete with fun writing and lots of places to explore. I'm just going to put some of my thoughts here in a bullet list: - For people who play on Steam Deck, it works amazing. 10/10 experience on my end. - This game is, in my opinion, a collectathon. So if you don't like running around constantly collecting material, you probably won't like this game. - You might be disappointed by the customization options when you start the game. Don't worry. As you progress, more and more decorations and clothes unlock. You can also find a way to change your character's animal too.

I'm awful at writing reviews, but I would like to say that this game lives up to the coziness. My only complaint is that the traveling can be a bit slow, but I'm still in early game stages so take it with a grain of salt.

I genuinely don't remember when the last time was that I played a game I had 0 issues with, but this is definitely the most recent. I truly have zero qualms with the game or it's development. I've been playing Cozy Caravan since early access and if there's one thing these developers have been, it's attentive and active! So many games on steam early access end up in a sort of limbo, or if they do get regular updates, it's not what people are actually asking for, but 5 Lives not only continue to add new playable animals and cute cosmetics after the full release, but they've been doing so steadily, at least since I started playing in ea. The music is so relaxing, the voice acting is precious, the gameplay is fun, if a bit tedious at times, but even then it's not constant enough to be problematic. I have very few games in my library that I actually replay once I finish them, and I've replayed this one more than any of those (including baldur's gate). It's not that I feel like I'm missing story, it's just genuinely that fun and relaxing. I will say, this is not a game where the finish line is a quick goal. It's slow on purpose. It is, quite literally, about the friends you make along the way. I don't think I've ever said this about a game before, but if it's on sale, wait for it to go back to retail price. These developers deserve it. They've put out such a good game, and I can't wait to see what they do next.

It's a fun game with a good pace. You constantly discover new things and it never felt boring. At the end of the story there is a lot of driving between locations, but you always can rely on Bubba or some passengers to entertain you. It's definitely worth the money.

This is such a fantastic game. I've been playing it since it was in Early Access, and it has been SO fun to watch the growth of this game thanks to the dev team. They were (and still are!) regularly updating the game and keeping us in the loop about coming features and updates, which has always been so great to see. As you can guess, with 86 hours in the game, I did finish the main story, which was such a cute and sweet storyline. There can be some grinding required to complete story quests, mostly due to having to travel across the map to get certain things or talk to certain people, but I always saw that as the point of the game. It's meant to be a slow-paced, cozy game about traveling around in your caravan. However, they did JUST come out with an update to expediate some of that traveling, which I'm sure will be nice for people still working on the story. Speaking of their most recent update: I thought I was done with the game after I finished the story. There are some post-game things you could do, but it wasn't a ton, and I'm not a completionist, so I figured I'd play it all over again if I wanted to live in that world once more. But then the new update came, which introduced an ENTIRE NEW MAP!! From what I can tell, there isn't a HUGE storyline (like the main story) tied to this map, but there are so many new quests, characters, crafting items, etc. that I'm incredibly happy to keep playing again and sink in more hours. And I'm also very glad I never did restart the story. On top of the main quests, the cooking/crafting mechanic is one of my favorites. It really feels like you're cooking from scratch, and the clothes you wear often feel well-earned when you made them yourself. You can use what you craft for so many things: selling at the weekend markets, eating to restore your (plentiful) stamina or restoring Rigby's stamina, quests, etc. The main currency (coins) to upgrade your caravan, unlock clothing packs, and customize your caravan can be earned in so many ways, so you can truly play the game in the way you want. Personally, I'm not always in the mood to open the market on the weekends, and it's not even required, so sometimes I just don't do it! You can certainly earn plenty of coins that way, but you can also earn currency by just waving to everyone you walk by (literally!), and playing minigames like the food service minigames in many different towns, which I never pass up. So even though I don't use the main mechanic to earn coins too often, I still earn plenty in other ways regardless, so it doesn't feel specifically geared towards needing to do that. The stop motion animation style is so cute (but they do have an option to turn that off if people aren't a fan), and the soundtrack is the BEST. I love lofi, and this is very much like that. I actually saved their album on Spotify and listen to it when I'm working sometimes. The final song used in the storyline really ties everything in the soundtrack together and adds to the wholesome feeling of the ending, so I also just love the full theme song. They are still regularly adding content updates - quite often in regards to customizing your character, which I adore - so I'm still excited to see where else this game could go. As someone that's been playing since the very start, I'm emotionally attached to this game (and Bubba and Rigby) at this point and will love to watch what the dev team does next - in this game, or the next!
