Drake Hollow
Welcome to The Hollow, a blighted and dying place, and home to the Drakes. Drakes are the vegetable folk native to these parts, and they need your help. They’re hungry, thirsty, and need a place to sleep. They can literally die of boredom. It’s on you to save them. Build gardens to provide them with food, wells for water, and yoga balls and puppet shows to keep them entertained. Even treadmills and solar panels to generate power for Tesla coils and electric fences, as you will quickly see they need some protecting… The Drakes aren’t the only residents of The Hollow – The Feral have overrun the land, looking to shred anything happy or good. Battle them one-on-one with a wide array of weapons ranging from tennis rackets to nail guns, bring your friends to lend a hand, and build your defenses so you can take them out without lifting a finger. Travel from region to region, season to season, taking the Drakes and their village with you. Each region is over a square mile of territory to explore, dynamically generated and populated with each passing season. You must balance your time carefully. What supplies are most crucial at any given moment? What does your village need? Metal from the supply caches to build your defenses, or crystals from the blighted regions to grow your Drakes? Prove that you’ve got what it takes to help the Drakes and take back The Hollow.

I feel sad that I didn't gave this game a try back when it got released.
The game is absolutely fantastic and cute .Love the Drakes they are so adorable . This game is definitely for those who wants a basic and not too stressing gaming experience. Exploring the map and locations are quite fun as it doesn't feels any grindy. It's a game for all age groups even though mild violence is there .Story so far is going great and I believe it's going to get even better later.
The visuals and graphics are also amazing .
Only a little annoying thing is when exploring sometimes you got stuck in the rocks and that's quite frustrating , well can't say much on this aspect as nobody actually gonna notice it. The game feels smooth after all.
Character customization is also a plus point . Overall I Liked the game till now and I might say it would be even awesome to play it with your friend or a partner on your sessions . It would be great time killer , soothing and chill experience. Would recommend to grab it on sale.

after playing this game for like 20 hours and finishing it, I can say that I was overall really satisfied with it.
the mechanics were really easy to learn, the combat is decent and gathering resources is fun (that was probably my favorite part of the game).
as for the graphics, they were quite good, i really liked the theme of the game.
and lastly, the story. it was quite good but soon it became boring due to being soooo long.
overall I had an amazing experience playing this game and I think it definetly deserves more attention!

Played it mostly on Xbox. It's a fun game that could have been so much better if the devs didn't let it die. Great co-op game for 10-20 hours, pick it up on sale. After a while you do everything the game has to offer, that's when you move on. Also, CDPR picked up the rights and studio, why can't they update it? This game could be a great hidden gem, but as it is now it's a 7/10.

It’s a fun game, and I’m glad I grabbed it on sale. It has some cool and unique ideas, like connecting waypoints as both a supply pipeline and a fast travel system. The drakes are also really cute. However, my biggest complaint is the repetition. After finishing the first area and moving to the second, I was hoping for new enemies and environments, but it was mostly the same thing. The raids also become tiresome as they just repeat the same enemies at higher levels every 30 minutes. What started as "Oh no! An incoming raid!" eventually turned into "eyeroll another raid."
Overall, I've enjoyed the game, but it has its flaws. I wouldn't have paid full price for it, but if you can catch it on sale, it’s definitely worth it.

Hands down one of the best and most creative games I have ever played, I come back to it again and again. I am incredibly particular about games, I am barely ever happy with most things I try to play but this game won my heart instantly. Equally fun, equally challenging. HIGHLY recommend!!

The drakes are absolutely adorable!
The world is very fun to explore and to gather all the resources. I enjoyed being able to also explore different areas through the seasons and search for all the hidden notes, to uncover the story.
Really recommend playing with friends bc somethings do become repetitive and you can clear the repetitive places easily with friends vs solo.
Also with the base there's some issues, I progressed very quickly from farming everything possible, and when you do this you can unlock the camp upgrades fast and it just feels like the devs just stopped making base unlockables early on. I think they even excluded some from their trailer but there needed to be WAY MORE upgrades and unlockables (in terms of defenses, foods and water supplies, etc.).
The only HUGE disappointment is really the ending. I won't spoil, but the hype was built up throughout the game till the end, to only end in a non-exciting fight and way.
*really recommend getting the game only when its on sale.

It is a fun game and I'm glad that I got it while it was on sale. It has some really cool and unique ideas such as the connecting of the waypoints as both a supply pipeline and a fast travel of sorts. The drakes are also super cute. My biggest complaint is that there is a ton of repetition. Once I completed the first area and moved on to the second I was really hoping for new enemies and a new environment but it pretty much ended up being more of the same. The raids also become tiring because it becomes a rinse and repeat of the same enemies, just higher level and more of them, defend your base, repair, every 30 minutes. It went from "Oh no! An incoming raid!" to *eyeroll* " an incoming raid" whenever I was out and about.
Overall I have enjoyed the game. It has flaws and I don't think I would have paid full price for it but if you can catch it on a sale I would say it is definitely worth it.
