Jul 30, 2025The Wandering Village offers us Onbu, which is great. It’s great to shape our relationship with him and care for him; however, as a city builder, the game rhythm is pretty flat and lacks memorable moments. It all runs pretty smooth – maybe too smooth.

Jul 24, 2025Building a settlement on the back of a large, wandering creature is original, but also difficult. While the interaction with your walking home is interesting, the gameplay could be more in-depth and the story is boring.

Jul 17, 2025The Wandering Village is a lovely game with an interesting mechanic of travelling on the back of a giant creature. While its visual style severely restricts the freedom of building, it adds to the mood very well and sets the game apart from “ordinary” builders. The developers had a vision and didn't shy away from realizing it. It's a shame that the campaign is a huge disappointment for me.
