    If you want to step in the world of fairy tale, gothic fable whilst throwing in crafting spells and a linear simplistic story set within an explorable world, Wytchwood is for you. Beautiful visuals and an alluring soundtrack. This game could be seen as mundane and repetitive, with little combat or puzzle, however Wytchwood casts a spell on the player that will have you immersed into the art of enchantment for hours.

    The overall gameplay loop might be a bit repetitive for some but this really is a very relaxing and charming craftathon. If you’re the kind of person who gets lots of satisfaction from having a long To-Do list and ticking tasks off then this really is a game for you. The storytelling makes gathering all twelve souls an absolute delight and you’ll always be looking forward to seeing what the next wicked soul is like. With a gorgeous art style and distinctive character designs this is a great game for those who are looking for something a little bit different.

At its core, it's primarily an ingredient hunting and potion crafting game. You'll travel to various lands in the Wytchwood world in order to find the necessary ingredients to craft various potions or contraptions. These help you accomplish the tasks you've undertaken as you work to meet the demands of a mysterious goat... yes, a goat. The writing is great and often very witty. The music is catchy and the artwork is all around beautiful to take in.

    There are a number of instances where you'll find yourself needing to backtrack quite a bit, but it's not all that time consuming to do so. And I did encounter some slowdown in several spots when playing this on the PS5, but overall it performed just fine.

    Wytchwood is a fun game with a very cute story, and is a delight to play.    … Expand

The art is great and the writing like an adult fairytale. I done mean lewd, more obtuse. The music is great for the vibe. If you are looking for a relaxing game with all of the above I recommend.

    Rezcz jest zaskakująco grywalna i wciagająca, mimo iż cała progresja opiera się na zbieraniu i kraftowaniu kolejnych przedmiotów, częstokroć wielopoziomowym, bo aby wytworzyć dany item, trzeba uprzednio odnaleźć odpowiednie składniki i najpierw stworzyć trzy inne rzeczy.
    Gra ma bardzo przyjemną kreskówkową grafikę i animacje.
    Fabuła nie powala, ale i nie przeszkadza, ot mamy życiową misję ubicia kilku bossów.
    Plusem jest też prosta platyna.

Gameplay itself was enjoyable with the collection of ingredients and discovering how to craft new items to help you on your quest for souls. Felt like a very complete game with all components coming together well. Reminds me of Animal Crossing without the commitment of endless grinding.… Expand
