    Whoa Whoa Whoa!!! Probably one of the funniest and most fun games of 2019.

    Started playing and could not stop,definitely worth the money and super fun on the Nintendo Switch .

    Hope to see more from Hop Frog

    As of April 18 2020 the switch version has received none of the promised updates and dev responses have been abysmal. They’ve said the port has changed hands 3 or 4 times now and there’s been ZERO progress. What’s included in the switch version is FINE, but compared to the PC release it’s night and day. They are basically two different games.

    Awesome setting, extremely addictive and nice gameplay. The game is nice to play in handheld mode. It is a mix between stardew and don't starve. The developer has created a roadmap with future updates!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unless you want to test your patience, I would not recommend this game. It does have "some" good components, but too repetitive.
    Also, close to endgame you need to go into the void...or if you're paient enough, not really, but to 100% complete the game, then yes.
    The game will randomely get you stuck for no reason so it doesn't matter how far in the void you are and how far you want to go, you would have to start over.
    By far one of the worst games I've ever played.    … Expand

    iIt's alot of fun, but i just can't recommend it. As explained in the other review by Geta-Ve this version of the game is getting completely ignored. Compared to the 'normal' version on pc, there's just not a lot of content. Do not buy it

    Прошёл ее на все экстра и игра неоднозначна. Геймплей не очень, сюжета нет, саундтрек приятный, управление нормальное, сложность низкая. Длительность зависит от вашего процента прохождения - от 2-5 часов ради "просто побегать" и +50 при попытке пройти полностью. Русификация в игре ужасна - некоторые слова неправильно переведены и написаны, а с середины игры вместо текста одни символы.Прошёл ее на все экстра и игра неоднозначна. Геймплей не очень, сюжета нет, саундтрек приятный, управление нормальное, сложность низкая.

Русификация в игре ужасна - некоторые слова неправильно переведены и написаны, а с середины игры вместо текста одни символы. Основного сюжета нет, ведь передать сюжет отдельными комиксами - хуже внутриигровых записок. Даже на сложном режиме и с одним ХП игра очень легкая. Игра вначале очень затягивает интересным гриндом и явным прогрессом, но чем дальше и больше игрок играет - тем меньше виден прогресс и тем больше становится гринд и игра становиться просто скучной. Пройти игру на 100% просто невозможно для нормального игрока из-за просто ужасных достижений, которые никто в здравом уме не будет выполнять из-за ужасной длительности в их выполнении и гринда ради них. Хоть я и знаю, что игру создал всего один человек, но если игру просто уменьшить в несколько раз или уменьшить количество гринда - игра станет намного лучше. Если поиграть в нее 5 часов, то этого вполне хватит, чтобы получить все удовольствие, а чем больше вы будете играть - тем сильнее будете видеть ее минусы. Надеюсь в следующем проекте этого автора будет намного меньше гринда и сама игра будет поинтересней… Expand

    Why does this have so many low reviews? I am giving it a 10 to raise the rating more.

    Addicting. Cute, amazing art design. It's equal parts: Terraria/Shovel Knight/Minecraft/Zelda.

    It's so simple to get into! Great design with over 50 skills to unlock, monsters and dungeons to slay, and a plethora of unlockable to upgrade and make it worth your time.

    Not sure about reply value but it's an easy buy for me if I didn't have Xbox Game Pass.

    Great game, perfect on Switch. Don't understand low ratings also. For me it's 10.

    Don’t buy it for the Switch. The controles are broken. It’s really difficult to place paths or place anything accurately. I asked around on the Discord server for help and told me to buy it for PC lol

    As it stands, Forager is a wonderful reimagining of common concepts and systems that have grown stale… or at least it is until it falls prey to the very things it was subverting. It’s a shame, but hopefully it will get patched or rebalanced in the future. With just a few tweaks to its numbers, I’d happily return to this small-scale adventure and keep on crafting.

    Forager brings forth a good open-world simulation game that successfully transmits to the player a rewarding feeling of growth and involvement, along with simple and fun mechanics. Watching the growth from a simple plot of land to a large empire is very satisfactory, even if the game's performance seems to deteriorate as the player's fiefdom expands.

    Reviewing this game was a ton of fun. I enjoyed every minute I have put into it. With so much more to be discovered, I can’t wait until the next time I have a chance to play it again. Forager is easily one of my favorite games. Players who enjoy crafting, farming, and exploration should definitely check this game out.
