    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.

    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

    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.
