    WeakWood Throne looks charming from the outside, but it still needs a lot of work in terms of feeling like a completed game.

I enjoyed the minimal tutorial. Combat was a bit iffy, but w/ auto-aim I had no trouble. I also played with my 5 yr old niece who was able to grasp the concepts and make it to the first boss after turning on auto-aim. I found the lack of hand holding refreshing. It made me nostalgic for games I used to play as a kid (before internet walk-throughs) when I had to take physical notes to keep up.  I used graph paper to keep track of where I was going, made my own map and had a lot of fun with it. I love the art and music, story elements were present, but not "in your face" which I personally enjoyed. I would prefer more interaction with villagers to fully flesh it out, but it was apparent what was going on. All was well until I neared the end and things kind of fell off. I had the keys, needed to beat the King and I don't know if I just missed something, but I had no idea where to go. After an hour or so, I looked it up online and went to the King only to be hit with one of the most aggravating boss fights of my gaming history, right up there with the Erymanthian Boar from AC Odyssey. At one point there were so many skeletons that I even paused the game in an attempt to count them and was unable to, due to their overlapping models. I prevailed eventually, but it was tedious. Mostly I feel like there were solid concepts that were executed poorly. I will probably play the game again to test out magic and focus my points more towards one skill to see if it makes a difference. All in all, I had a lot of fun aside from minor annoyances.… Full Review »

Terrible combat, enemies have nonexistent hitboxes, even turning autoaim on, your character will get too close to an enemy to be able to melee it. There are THREE enemy types in the game, the block and attack in front of itself type, the shoot a glob at you type, and the throw themselves at you type. The two bosses I found had almost the exact same attack patterns. There are some quests early on, they disappear completely leaving you with no guidance or aim for further gameplay. The stat system essentially locks you into either a melee, magic or ranged playstyle. Good luck mixing and matching because switching gear is cumbersome and your attacks will be underpowered. Night time makes it SO HARD to see, even with screen brightness all the way up. There is NO MAP and the world layout is totally confusing. You can leave the screen and re-harvest the same potions from bottles over and over again. The peppermint leaf or whatever quest just glitched out, I had more than ten and couldn't hand it in. The b button closes some menus and DROPS ITEMS on others. Burn damage continues to stack even after the circle is full, causing insane damage that you have no way of healing apart from with potions. You can sell arrows for 45 gold each leading to a totally broken in game economy. The final areas just have masses of crap enemies to fight, I lost interest. The game gives you a skateboard to speed up movement but it DOESN'T WORK on most terrain types. There are boats to pilot but water screens don't connect to new areas, so don't be tricked into thinking there is water exploration. It has great graphics and some sound effects stolen from BotW. And that's it. As an experienced gamer I found it frustrating, buggy, and unfinished, obviously thrown onto stores to make a quick buck.… Full Review »

IThis game isn't difficult or built for ThE mOrE eXpErIeNcEd GaMeR. It's just bad. I hoped for something more like Stardew Valley. I excitedly bought this game after waiting for it to release and was completely disappointed. Movement was unrealist. Combat was completely horrible.… Full Review »
