    A delightful refreshing new story for a cosy sim blends with an extremely creative puzzler in Lonesome Village, which features a cute art style and relaxing vibes throughout. With a few patches to address crashing, it could be among the best in the genre. Even with these issues though, the game gets my recommendation with a caveat to save often so you don’t lose your progress.

    Lonesome Village it’s a great hybrid between games like The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. Sometimes it tries to be different, but in some areas the effort it’s not good enough to make us forget about the other games.

The puzzles are way too easy 90% of the time, there are some glitches, the interactions with the villagers are bland and going back and forth the whole map sometimes can feel frustrating. I didn't have much fun playing it, but I finished it. The game has potential btw. With more challenging puzzles, more depth in the interactions with the villagers and WAY more space in the backpack to put the items, the game would have been good.

The fact that the puzzles are either childish or impossible is a problem. The biggest problem, though, is that there’s no auto save, and the game occasionally refuses to recognize inputs, so I’ve lost multiple hours of progress because I got bricked out of a game with no kill state. It’s absurd… Full Review »
