Roots of Pacha

Love this game to bits. As an archaeology student, I love to play games set in past times. Seing the evolution of crops from low quality to high quality by not only gaining stars or something like in other games but by actually changing th size of grains etc. gives me joy. I know many people love Stardew Valley, but I wastly prefer a game for which I don´t need a guide when playing for the first time because it only seems to be for people to micromanage every second to maximise profit. This game you can be played casually and it still has a lot of heart in it!

as with every other review i post (this is becoming a trend apparently), this game is great and is one of the few things keeping me from a horrible depression spiral. never thought i would say a game about literal cavemen is more inclusive and progressive than the real world is currently, but it is. very cute, very sweet, honestly touching in some ways. my rule of thumb is that if i get an hour of fun or more per every (us) dollar i spend on a game, then its a good purchase, and i think i... tripled that several hours ago. pick up on sale in case it's not quite your thing, but a must buy if you like pixel art farming games.

I haven't been this impressed with a farm sim in a LONG time. I adore the community centered mindset in the game, it makes me feel more like I'm part of the game rather than just a rando who comes in and redecorates everything. The animal system is the best I've experienced (and I've played A LOT farm sims). I absolutely adore that you need to win the animals trust, it makes me feel so much more attached to them than if I just went to a shop and purchased them. And the choices of animals are SO unique, I love that there are so many options. The characters are lovely, they feel fairly fleshed out, although a bit stale (I'm only 16-ish hours in at the writing of this review so I'm hoping this part gets better). No one has really sparked my interested marriage wise but tbf I've been very focused on building up my fields and buildings. I will say, the caves are the bane of my experience in this game. I have to look up pretty much everything to do with them because I had no idea why I was exploring them in the first place. But even so, I love the small magical aspects the game has, and the storyline through the caves is worth the annoyance of the gameplay. The gameplay loop of the caves is also pretty dang satisfying. I yearn for the caves even as I admonish them. Overall, I am thoroughly enjoying my time in this game and I can see that it will hold my attention for quite awhile.

Love this game and the prehistoric setting. Such a fun riff on a farming sim.

遊戲沒有戰鬥元素倒是有很多解謎，我討厭解謎，大意了！！！ 不喜歡解謎的慎入。 最後期有點太誇張了，農作物要一堆太陽的星級，動物的毛阿蛋阿什麼的也要太陽星級。 有玩的人才會知道有多難，光看就要放棄了。 感覺為了難而難，還不如給我戰鬥！讓我殺幾隻太陽星級的怪(?) 作物生長的時間、加工的時間都各種太長，第一次玩這類型的遊戲感到繁雜，非必要完全不想加工 要等西北久 還有布置方面，地面是固定有東西的，不是說你能隨便佈置。 鋪個地板、放個門什麼的，常常就會被卡住，非常不自由。 不過戀愛方面可以選要單一還是要跟一堆人戀愛，這點好評。

Out of all the games on my list, the characters in this game are so memorable and the artwork is so nice. The game play on top of it is so good. Just the nature and feel of the world is so soothing. While Stardew Valley has fighting in it, this game is more about collecting animals and getting their produce. The puzzles in it sometimes leaves me stumped. I really had an overall good time with this game. I still have plenty I can do.

Bought on multiple platforms. Probably the most cozy game of the farming sims out there. Love the prehistoric setting and wholesome community building aspect. The game is also very polished. Everything works smooth and I havent encountered a single bug.

Very original!
