![]() In order to gain back energy, you must consume food or you can lose one heart in exchange for some energy. On another note, you have an energy meter, which limits how much you can do. Given that resources keep respawning, you’ll never run out of them, but unless you build a series of laser rods (which automatically destroy and gather resources for you), you’ll find resources overflowing the land, even preventing you from moving around freely. There were times when I’d tell myself that I’d just play for fifteen more minutes and the next thing I know, it’s been an hour.īy nature, Forage is grindy and repetitive, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Still, despite its repetitive nature, I found myself spending hours on a single play session. So, it’s kind of like a game like Path of Exile or Diablo, you farm to get better gear, so that then you can farm even more. Some of them have different effects, like exploding things or setting them on fire, but overall, they’re pretty much just stats boosts. As you do these things, you’ll unlock new technologies, like potion brewing, farming, cooking, and even droids, among many others.Īs you progress through the different technologies, you get access to new tools and weapons, which are pretty must just straight linear upgrades to your shovel, sword and pickaxe. The vast majority of your time in Forager is spent gathering resources, whether that be through farming, fishing, mining, chopping down trees or hunting animals and creatures. The core of Forager is all about collecting resources, processing them into other different resources and then using those to build new buildings and craft new items. The puzzles themselves are what makes them worth it, the sense of accomplishment that you get when you complete them, rather than the actual rewards that come with them. They tend to have a few enemies here and there, but overall, they present you with a puzzle that you must solve in order to clear the dungeon. Nonetheless, while some of the dungeon designs are actually well thought out, they end up not feeling as rewarding as I would’ve hoped. This is one clear progression factor that you’ll strive for pretty much right from the very beginning, especially since you’ll have to manage your real estate in order to make an efficient allocation of production buildings.Īs you expand your reach, you’ll gain access to new resources and biomes, but you’ll also face new creatures and be able to enter a series of dungeons. For starters, you start off with only one island, but as you gain coins, either by crafting them out of gold bars, picking them up from fallen enemies or by selling items in the market, you can purchase additional land and connect your territories by building bridges. Still, this doesn’t happen in that specific sense, as there are other things that you can do other than chopping down trees and mining rocks. Forager’s gameplay can be described very briefly, as all you do is run around collecting resources in order to unlock new things that you must then also farm in order to craft them. The game claims to be the “idle game that you want to actively keep playing”, but I honestly couldn’t find an idle element. ![]() With that said, after almost 10 hours with the game, I just have to say that I feel like the game’s description can be a bit deceptive. Personally, I must admit that I wasn’t really expecting it to be anything specific, but based on the details shown on the Steam store, I had my own fair share of interest. I didn’t follow its development process prior to its release on Steam, but I knew for a fact that the game went through many testing phases, and that development was mainly supported thanks to Patreon.
