    It's quite cute and charming, with absolutely gorgeous animations with fun and quirky characters, but the "gameplay" is extremely lacking. The gameplay is basically just clicking through menus and playing a very basic card building mini game. It was enjoyable for a couple hours but got stale and repetitive really quickly.

    It was amusing for the first 2 hours then it becomes boring because you basically do the same thing 6 times with additional unpleasant factors that limit your choices.

    Potionomics will blow you away with its intertwined mechanics, wonderfully made features, thoughtful gameplay and charming characters. There are certain weaknesses and a regretful lack of freeplay mode, but the time spent in the game is well worth it.

    This game is fun. Honestly? I think I had too much fun and that meant I wasn't paying attention to all the little things that built up and kept drowning me. But if you're careful, pay attention, and keep up with the game's demands, it's well worth it. The characters are amazing, the plot is fun, and the gameplay is addictive. It's a little tough if you're not good at multitasking, but if you're a fan of the shopkeeper genre, this is one you can't miss.

    Potionomics’ different ingredients blend together well, mixing everything from deck building, resource management, and even options for romance into its shopkeeping simulation. Hopefully, the developers can temper the bitterness associated with the in-game competitions.
