    This is close to a really good chill out game, but unfortunately there are too many technical issues. The obtuse or straight up absent tutorials are a problem. 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 progressThis is close to a really good chill out game, but unfortunately there are too many technical issues.

It’s absurd… Expand

    Overall, Lonesome Village succeeds at what it sets out to do. It doesn’t do anything unique, and it isn’t without its flaws; if you’re looking for something that offers a relaxing, chilled experience, then this one is for you.

    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 takes elements of life-sim legends and a large handful of Zelda references and wraps them together in very cute packaging. It may not have the richest narrative, but it will absorb and soothe you – even in its short playtime. Barring a few drawbacks with player experience, specifically around menu navigation, this game offers up some good wholesome fun without the sweaty button-mashing of combat. If you’re puzzling over a new cosy game to play, Lonesome Village just might be your solution.
