    I mean, like...it's fine...? It's a pretty decent game, but it just feels like it's missing something. I'm not sure what, but it just feels...a bit soulless? Sorry if that sounds dumb or something, I'm not that good at reviewing things, lol.

    The game starts out great. There are islands you can buy and these islands have NPCs, puzzles and rare resources. However, there is a problem with this system. Islands require money, which you can get from selling stuff (Which is inefficient) or building lots of banks and idling.

Apart from this issue, like I said, the game starts out really fun: Making new things, completing missions, getting achievements. After you get all the islands though, the game quickly gets boring because at that point, there is no new content.… Expand

    Un excelente juego para estar creado por una sola persona, es como la mezcla perfecta entre Minecraft y Stardew Valley.
    Este juego te engancha por mucho tiempo.

    Fun and addictive at the beginning, but very repetitive and grindy near the end game (at the 18-20 hours point). I get ideas from Stardew Valley and The Legend of Zelda, but it is not at the height of neither.

    i forgot i even got this for myself.

    this is what's bad about games these days. they are not bad in a way bad movie is bad. they just get you to spend your money, play it for about 2 hrs and 30 minutes, and then never play it again. like anthem, ya no? you spend ur money, and forget all about it. that's what's bad about game development these days. 390 steam titles you just forget    i forgot i even got this for myself.

    when u start up ur game, u have the option of reading a mini-comic about dev's life, and his relationship with his mother,
    and how this game got funded,

    and how we're all foragers (no, thank u).

    that made me dislike this game. your work should be about your work, not emotional manipulation.

    it's a repetitive game once you get past its addictive beggining. shallow characters.

    it's for people who like to grind. i sometimes do, but not all the time, ya kno?    … Expand

    This game is definitely worth the price they are asking - especially if development continues.

    Some constructive criticism and things I would like to see added to the game:
    Many more enemies of greater difficulty.
    Increase the the attack speed of the enemies and fix the common glitch where they get stuck or can't reach you but you can reach them.
    Different levels - it would be fun to access the sky, space, underworld, a wonky magical location.
    NPC's with story and further story with them that you can help shape.
    Make leveling more balanced (it's a bit grindy late-game,) and add more late-game skills that are worth leveling for.
    Pacify the mining sword so that it won't damage the cute turnip critters.
    Ways to farm the critters that doesn't harm them - just as an alternative. (Stardew Valley handles this concept pretty good.)
    Multiplayer (I know you guys have a tentative date for that, but I'm just giving further encouragement)
    Events that make the world feel more alive.
    Less obscure, but harder puzzles. I know that sounds like a paradox, but some of the puzzles are just to unclear, and some of puzzles I solved by accident.

    Feel free to contact me if you'd like further clarification!
    Thanks for the great game!    … Expand

    I really enjoyed my first 3 hours of the game and will surely play and stream more of it! I've been excited for the game for a while and it's a perfect combination stardew valley and the legend of zelda while bringing in it's own stuff! For the first game from Hopfrog this is a really amazing game!

    Fast paced, yet adventure filled. It's a good mixture between grinding and casual gameplay. Best described as a very well polished mixture of stardew valley and realm of mad god. Some unique features including the leveling system and skill tree. Overall a nice casual indie game.

    Un excelente juego para ser creado por una persona pero llega a ser aburrido cuando se avanza un poco y el juego solo se basa en dar click izquierdo.
    Mas sin embargo llega a ser adictivo sus primeras horas de juego.

    Apesar da falta de dificuldade, Forager é um jogo agradável, relaxante e cheio de charme. Apesar de simples, sua execução é perfeita. Entregando ao jogador uma gameplay livre e viciante do início ao fim. Forager é, com certeza, um jogo que cativa o coração de fãs do gênero e traz uma experiência agradável para qualquer jogador.

    This game was very fun for a long amount of time! Sadly, things like the coins were flawed, because it was either: mine gold, go to forge, make coins, repeat OR it was wait, click bank. This was still really fun, and I would recommend.

    Tal vez el problema de estos juegos es que una vez que juegas a Stardew Valley, ya nada de este género es bueno y Forager no es la excepción. Lento, repetitivo, RNG, son algunos problemas que he tenido, aunque al menos es diferente dentro del género y se agradece.

The game claims to be an idle game that allows you to stay active and play but doesn't actually become idol until around 10 hours in where you can produce small numbers of resources automatically.

    Very nice artwork, fun survival, and crafting mechanics. Still, it was not special to me at all. Just an average time killer. Gets very repetitive with time even though it is fun in the beginning.

    It's definitely pretty well made and relatively polished, but the gameplay loop is literally just grinding for the sake of grinding. For what reason should anyone play this game?

    Forager is a lovely surprise, its simple appearance disguising a huge amount of content packed under the surface. Rarely has crafting been as enjoyable and streamlined, whilst the sheer range of things to do means that you never have to feel bored. You’re always working towards something whilst the dungeons are well designed and feature classic puzzles which makes for a refreshing change of pace from the relentless acquisition. All in all, Forager is a gem, and well deserves to dig its way under your skin. Just don’t complain to me it's 4AM and you’re still mining.

    Forager is a game that gives you joy from the minute you start playing, and from there just continues delivering. With fun responses for the player’s actions, simple tasks feel a lot more engaging. Improvement in crafting efficiency keeps the gameplay feeling fresh, which prevents Forager from becoming tedious. By depicting the joy and sorrow of finding new material, Forager creates a story around the crafting gameplay itself. Forager can be enjoyed for as long as the player wants to. Finding your own way to solve problems might feel tough at first, but that’s what makes it so addictive in the end.

    Forager offers a pleasant mix of multiple genres, but lacks the finesse of the games it is based upon. Sometimes this game will just require you to press your left mouse button and that is simply too boring.
