Survival: Fountain of Youth

I've played a lot of survival+crafting games, like The Long Dark, The Forest, Valheim, Vintage Story and some more. Survival: Fountain of Youth is somehow hard to judge for me and I am not sure why it is. My first impression was not the best, as I saw the quite basic survival mechanics and the pretty linear storyline. Only later I realized that this was part of a quite well-made "tutorial" introduction into the game. What felt simplyfied and restricting at first (need to climb specific trees to chart the environment - then you see resources, spawn points etc. on the map) later turned out as being flexible and helpful enough to be accepted. The UI is not the worst, but still has issues, like inventory scrolling away if you remove the last item in a stack or showing helpful details in some cases, but not in others. Simulation is also simplified, e.g. you get wet and get a cold and still overheat in the sun, without the two effects cancelling out each other. Food parameters are quite random, e.g. Bananas give nutrition [i]and[/i] hydration, but tomatoes only give nutrition. So, why would I recommend the game? Well, in the end it turned out, that the game kept me entertained enough to continue playing: Crafting mechanics made me wanting to craft more items which I never crafted before. Repair system is nice to be motivated to throw away old items and recraft them. Upgrading your vessel is rewarding. Resource gathering is not too annoying. Perks and skills add some more motivation. The Story is a nice background for progressing further and unlocking new areas doesn't feel too artificial. So long story short: For every aspect of the game, there is surely another game doing it better or more detailed (need to go to Valheim soon to chop some trees^^), but they all also have aspects where they fall short compared to SFoY. So additionally given the low price, it's a clear recommendation!

Its pretty good if you like survival games. Story is okay. The controls are a little janky and it feels a little old and unfinished. But I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Локации относительно пустые,графика на тройку с натяжкой,лично у меня квест с крабами глючит( вагон убил,а дальше квестов нет). В общем надо мне было видео перед покупкой смотреть. Если совсем делать нефиг,то берите.

Tiene muchas cositas y está bien conseguido

Vraiment bien foutu. Equilibré, pas de rupture de progression, j'en suis au fer et j'ai réparé le galion ! J'aurai du privilégié les quais plus tôt vu que ce sont des points de teleport :) Et attention au lieu de vie, j'ai construit là ou il y avait une cabane et le teleport du galion est impossible, pas assez de tirant d'eau et de place. J'arrrive un peu plus loin sur la côté, pas grave :)

отличная игра в своем жанре!!!

Uno dei migliori survival che abbia mai giocato, davvero sottovalutato. Elenco i punti a favore principali: -Ambienti vari, isole tra cui spostarsi con piante e animali diversi -Realismo molto curato: malattie, sonno, tempo per svolgere le azioni -Durata soddisfacente: il gioco non finisce dopo 10 ore come tanti altri ma richiede 40-50 ore per completarlo -Storia interessante ed enviromental storytelling -Tutto ha un senso in questo gioco, difficile da spiegare ma ve ne accorgerete giocando, non ci sono meccaniche irrealistiche -Progressione lunga e divertente, bisogna esplorare e raccogliere oggetti per passari ai livelli successivi degli attrezzi ecc. -Sistema di abilità e libri da trovare e leggere per abilità extra Per il momento ho una sola critica: nel menu quando si apre una chest, è piuttosto fastidioso dover scorrere in continuazione se si vuole spostare un oggetto dalla fine dell'inventario, perchè la visuale viene riportata in alto dopo ogni oggetto spostato.

It's one of the most in depth crafting games I've played. Totally enjoying this, and the exploration. Sailing is phenomenal. Building could use a little more variety, but you can still build some pretty cool houses.
