The Wandering Village

Divertente e simpatico, un po' macchinosa la gestione del villaggio per switchare tra i vari biomi quando sarebbe bastato consentire di salvare e gestire delle macro, però rimane comunque molto particolare grazie alla meccaniche che sono possibili solo nella gestione di un villaggio costruito sul dorso di una creatura leggendaria... ━━━ METRO DI GIUDIZIO ━━━ AA+, AAA ▶ Indie, A, AA ━━━ VALUTAZIONE CONTESTUALIZZATA AL ━━━ ▶ 2026 ━━━ TOTALE ━━━ ▶ 7/11 ━━━ STILE GRAFICO ━━━ [2/2] Stile unico e originale ▶ [1/2] Stile già visto ma curato e apprezzabile [0/2] Disegni o stile non all'altezza ━━━ INNOVAZIONE NEL GAMEPLAY ━━━ ▶ [2/2] Innovativo, introduce nuove meccaniche [1/2] Prende spunto da altri titoli e ne migliora alcuni aspetti [0/2] Non riesce a innovare quasi nulla ━━━ AUDIO ━━━ [2/2] Orchestrale, immersivo e curato nei dettagli ▶ [1/2] Di qualità, anche se non eccezionale o non troppo vasto [0/2] Jingle scadenti o ripetitivi ━━━ DURATA ━━━ [2/2] Giocabile a lungo con piacere ▶ [1/2] Longevo anche se potrebbe annoiare [0/2] Breve o molto breve ━━━ ASPETTI TECNICI & NARRATIVI ━━━ [2/2] Il suo punto di forza è almeno uno tra: IA innovativa, fisica realistica, level design sorprendente, trama unica e indimenticabile ▶ [1/2] Gli aspetti tecnologici o narrativi sono buoni ma non rivoluzionari [0/2] Nessun aspetto tecnico e nessun aspetto narrativo riesce a sorprendere ━━━ BUG ━━━ ▶ [1/1] Assenti o relativamente trascurabili [0/1] Compromettono il prosieguo di alcune missioni

Espectacular en todos los sentidos. Bravo!

TLDR: I played Wandering Villiage and Timberborn pretty much back to back, and comparing them is probably the easiest way to review this one. This game is WAY better than Timberborn, if you actually want to play a real complete video game, and not just a demo that got popular in early release and they were just like, eh, good enough. Wandering Village could use some real quality of life upgrades (please explain to me why we can't rotate buildings in a village sim), and unless you're into "challenge" mode there's probably not a lot of re-playability. However, it does feel like a complete, albeit somewhat light, game. There's a story. There are objectives that tie into that story. Research leads to real changes in the wellbeing of Onbu and the villiagers. I actually cared what happened to my village, and intrinsically wanted it to be good. As best as I could figure in Timberborn the "goal" was to keep researching and growing your village till you could replace all your fleshy beavers with robots... But that's purely speculation, because it's just a building sim with no story, objectives, or goal of any kind, but to build all the types of buildings. I was holding out hope till the last one to see if we were ever going to really do something interesting to "fix" the world, but... Nope. The only thing that compelled me to care about my village at all was that they were cute little beavers, and my own OCD need for an optimized layout. I will say Timberborn is a bit more challenging in the base game, if you're into that, but not as challenging as Factorio or something that really does push your resource management limits. So, I'm not sure the challenge really adds anything but a lot of tedious waiting around for stuff to finish. I played Timberborn much longer, so I guess there's something to be said for getting your monies worth, but I resented playing it, because I knew it wasn't really going to pay off in anyway other than my village being aesthetically pleasing. Where as with Wandering village I played through the story at a comfortable, well paced rate, and then got to go back and optimize in ways that really mattered. So... Thank you Wandering Village, for getting what itches a game needs to scratch to feel satisfying, and not just putting out "yet another building sim" that pretends to be "cozy" because the characters are "cute" and has no real substance.

Это САМАЯ ЛУЧШАЯ "Ферма", в которую я когда-либо играла. Залипла часов на 8 подряд. Вот кто бы мог подумать, что ферма так затянет, но нет. Здесь и сюжет есть, и атмосфера, а рисовка то какая приятная. Я очень рада, что приобрела эту игру. К слову, мне показалось, что концепт немного похож на аниме "Навсикая из долины Ветров", особенно одежда жителей деревни и момент с заражением от споров.

Pros: - Good city builder, simple to understand, I'd recommend it as a first-in-the-genre for anyone interested. - Gorgeous visuals, performs very well considering how many in the genre do not. - Enjoyable and creative worldbuilding. It's clear how much inspiration was taken from Princess Mononoke, so if you enjoy that particular Ghibli world this will probably satisfy you. - Quite forgiving, at no point on story mode did I feel like I was close to collapse. - The amount of options at my disposal to be an absolute **** to my land donkey was very good to see. I didn't really make use of them, but I loved the implications of the potential choice to desecrate this incredible gift of life while wandering a desecrated world. Cons: - The HUD can be hard to parse due to most of the icons being the same colour. - There is a great deal of repetitive, mundane tasks required of you that I feel should have been automated in some way. - A lot of repeating events that require your input should have an option to pause or slow down the game, which makes an otherwise pretty chill experience feel a bit more frantic than I think the devs intended. - There is a system to upgrade buildings, but shockingly few buildings can be upgraded and the choices for what upgrade to pick are not particularly interesting. - Farming feels really strange to me. Maintaining food output felt very fiddly. To get the most out of your farms, you are forced to have your farmers only plant food, and then you manually reap the crops, otherwise most of the assigned field plots do not get sowed by the farmers. This results in a lot of manual, repetitive, and dull work. I felt like I was really winning when I could safely automate less food production, which maybe isn't the best game design power fantasy for a thriving colony.
