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.

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!

This is a fun game, my son and I loved playing it together, but I'm disappointed that the developer let it die. There could have been more patches, additions and DLCs or expansions sold for the game. Once my son and I finished it we put it down and haven't touched this in over a year. The funny thing is we both remember it and we keep coming back hoping that maybe there's a DLC or an update. So yes I recommend this game, but I don't recommend you pay full price, make sure it's on sale if you pick it up because there's been no updates since 2021.

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.

Decent game. Grab on sale. All the negative reviews are justified tbh but the game is relatively fun playing co-op. If you could only buy one game and you had multiple choices, probably better off with the other option.

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.

I played this back on xbox when it was still on game pass. Drake Hollow... Where to start?
I want to start with the cons, I think.
The story feels... Kind of bland. Repetitive. Once you've done one location, you've done them all. Every thing that there is to do, becomes a wash, rinse, repeat of the last time you did it. The character customisation is generally good, but there are a lot of places it could be improved(which is more personal preference than anything.)
However. When you play this with friends, and you get to make a sanctuary for the drakes... It's just... really, really fun. The music is amazing, the art is incredibly impressive, and it's generally just a really good game. If you want to play a combative game, but you don't want the stress or pressure of one, Drake Hollow is a great one.

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.
