    Forager is an open-world adventure game developed by Argentine studio HopFrog and published by Humble Bundle. It has pixel graphics and classic indie sounds. You basically keep mining and growing starting with just a pic axe in your hand. You can get hungry and get hurt by some slimy creatures be careful because when you die it's game over.

It has pixel graphics and classic indie sounds. You basically keep mining and growing starting with just a pic axe in your hand. You can get hungry and get hurt by some slimy creatures be careful because when you die it's game over. You'll have access to various of items, weapons, skill upgrades and more but again these are one run only. Overall, Forager is a gem of a game where progression is the primary objective – and what that progression looks like is entirely up to you. Maybe that’s the point, in a way, to make our own choices and experience Forager uniquely from each other. It’s refreshing to play a game that expects nothing of the player except their participation, and I look forward to spending much more time in its world doing just that. It’s a great addition to the Xbox One library and a game I definitely recommend adding to your library as it’s definitely a fun experience each time you play.… Expand

    The other reviews for this game must be paid for reviews. It doesn't deserve any higher than about 6.

    It boasts to be "Open world", when really it isn't. You have to buy land with coins, gradually unlocking the entire world. If it was open world, there wouldn't be a need to do that. I clocked about 20 hours on the game and pretty much did everything. Did I enjoy it? A bit. There are    The other reviews for this game must be paid for reviews.

    There are more cons than pros however. It's an addictive little game, which is a good and bad thing. You can be sat playing and a few hours pass by, now onto why it's a bad thing. It's £16.74 on the Xbox store if you don't have Game Pass and for what you get, it's a huge rip off. Everything goes by real time, be it structure cool downs, crafting, fishing, stores upgrading their stock, everything. The higher ranking the crafted item is, the longer it takes to craft and it can take literal hours to craft depending on what you are crafting. You get spells and items and perks to speed this up, but most of the time, it doesn't feel like it works. If you actually inspect the in-game cooldown times, you will also notice that three real seconds pass before one second passes in game. So a 10 second cooldown actually takes like 30. I wouldn't mind the ridiculous crafting and cooldown times if it was a free to play game where you have to pay to speed up the crafting process, but it's not. It's a cheap way to try and get longevity out of the game.

    And for an 8-bit game, the more map you open up and the more resources that spawn, you are met with a LOT of slowdown and lag that it gets irritating. It feels like a stripped down, 2D Minecraft with all the freedom taken away. £16.74 is way too much to charge for this game. I'd say it's worth about £6.99 max. I said it's a good and bad thing that it's addictive. Good, because at first it can be and is fun, but the longer you play and the more time you need to craft things, it quickly becomes a chore and turns boring and then you start wishing you hadn't wasted like 10 hours on the game when you could have been playing something much better.

    All in all Forager is basically a glorified mobile game that found it's way onto consoles and is way to overpriced for what happens in it. As I said before if it was a free game I'd understand the long crafting times and would have rated the game a little higher.

    I'm not saying avoid this game, by all means give it a go if it's your thing, but there's just no rewarding feeling about it at all. It may as well be called Waiting: The Game.    … Expand

    Forager es buen juego te puede enganchar fácil mente lo único es que español el hud está un poco mal ya que algunas habilidades que no se pueden leer y tienes que ponerlo en ingles también sería bueno que le pusieran el multi jugador pero si te gusta Minecraft o terraria te gustará o lo puedes probar en Xbox game pass a la fecha de 24 de julio de 2020

    A fun, albeit repetitive, console excuse for a cookie clicker game that builds on its concepts after hours and hours of mining, until you needn’t play the game anymore, your only job to keep it on overnight. It could really do with a few more modes: the speed run is fun and the hard mode is cute and all, but something to properly diversify the gameplay as it all comes off samey and hamfisted.

    A different game with very nice mechanics. If these types of games appeal to you, you should definitely give them a chance.

    Forager on Xbox One is a great investment. The amount of content in the game is phenomenal and it can only get better. If foraging, building, and adventuring are up your alley then I heartily recommend Forager.
