![]() ![]() Just when you think you’ve found all the souls the goat could need, you’re tasked to find even more. #Wytchwood review fullI was curious to find out more about this slumbering damsel and why our grumpy witch cared so much about her, but the gameplay is full of fetch quests and quickly becomes repetitive. The character design and profile pics complete the fairytale feel, and could come straight from a book. The environment and character design are gorgeous! It is like jumping into a fairytale world, complete with terrible things lurking in the dark, ready to attack at any moment. ![]() Something that isn’t gross, is the art of Wytchwood. You will lay a trap for the animal, they set off the trap and bam! They explode into some chunks of meat and feathers or fur. And, as a side note, the hunting is a little gruesome. Wytchwood is a crafting adventure game set in a land of gothic fables and fairytales. It can become tiresome and tedious very quickly. Some of them will take 10+ ingredients and you will need to travel all over the map to find them. Find an item and combine it with another, but as the game progresses the potions and items you make become increasingly complex. Unfortunately, it’s not quite as easy as it seems because everything needs crafting in Wytchwood. Find out what they need, want and desire and make it happen, in return for their souls. It’s immediately familiar because all the conventions of storytelling were followed, but completely new as well, because there are fresh twists concocted into the narrative. You’ll come across brainwashed sheep, cruel pigs and cats causing chaos, to name a few. Sometimes starting a new game feels like opening a book full of fairy tales. Seek out the souls you need and see how far their greed takes them. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump into our portal and get started! Greed is good!Įveryone has a price, and that is very beneficial in Wytchwood. The goat’s task seems simple enough: collect some souls for it and they will reveal everything to you. Take an adventure in Wytchwood and get to the bottom of all of this confusion. It leads you to a maiden in endless slumber apparently, you agreed on a deal to keep her alive, but why? And who is she? How long have you been asleep for? And now this goat is asking you to pay up on a contract you can’t remember signing. First, you are rudely awoken by a goat, and then you find out it ate all the pages of your spellbook! Now, you realise you can’t quite remember yesterday, or any day, for that matter. Wytchwood will be coming to PS4, PS5, and Steam in Fall of 2021, and I for one can’t wait to get brewing.It’s been a tough day for a witch in the woods. Considering we’ll be spending a good part of our time exploring, I’m excited to see what different aesthetics the game has to offer, from the “sunny forest, to the gloomy swamp and snowblown mountaintop.” I haven’t seen anyone do the classic Grimm tales since The Wolf Among Us, which ended up being my favorite Telltale game.īesides the gameplay itself, Wytchwood looks like it’s going to be a great mix of cutesy, dark, and grotesque, which is something I personally love in an art style. This mix of gameplay sounds like plenty of other games we’ve seen before, but I’m excited to see a new twist on the fantasy genre. ![]() Of course, more potent magic will require more rare ingredients, so it sounds like that’s where the exploration mechanic will come in as well. The gameplay also includes an in-depth crafting system where you create various potions and spells from the ingredients you find around. You play as an old witch who lost her memory, and must reconcile with a “dark pact she doesn’t remember making.” In a post on the PlayStation Blog, the game’s art designer let in on its inspirations - specifically the Grimm fairytales. It’s no secret around here that I love chill narrative adventure games with crafting mechanics, and in that case, Wytchwood sounds like something that came right off my wishlist. Really feeling the wand-erlust with this one ![]()
