Smoke And Sacrifice

Oh my...what a charming game...the only downside is the UI, bad controls with controller or M&K, but a little tinkering with steam input let me use the controller as a m&K, and from there...you can at last discover a very competent action-rpg game, with quests and side quests, crafting, many brilliant ideas, a lot of charm, beautiful graphics, an interresting story and lore...what can I say ? A pure hidden gem, deserved by its clunky controls, and that's a real shame that it doesn't get the praise it deserves. Try it, steam input is your friend.

A bit too slow for my liking, but better than don't starve in my opinion. It's not bad, but I don't think it is really worth my time RN.

A very decent game, would have been good if two things:
The map wasn't this big, because there is decent variety with the terrain, but the problem is that there are too many 'duplicates', as if someone did Ctrl+C then Ctrl V. Literally same areas with same animals/enemies, things to get all too much. This is bloat, not fun.
Second one, is the armors, it's really silly to keep changing boots from one area to another, could have definitely been handled better. And I had to keep all armor on me at all time and kept going back and forth because the areas are literally next to one another. I had 6 pieces before I stopped playing, and there are definitely more as there is a fire area, kind of ridiculous. Even if you were to say you only need the boots, enemies are easier to deal with when you have the right armor!

At the risk of being reductionist, it's a survival fetch-quest game. It's not that hard to survive, though, because there is no hunger clock. Exploration is fun. Combat is pretty simple. The plot and setting are interesting.

This game is for people that enjoy Don't Starve. It's a true hidden gem. Exploring the world is fun and figuring out which areas will give you what materials easily allows you to farm certain things making the game a lot easier. People that just make beginning equipment and then complain aren't playing the game right. The focus is on progression and getting better stuff and this is just done through quests and exploration. The combat is also decently difficult. I actually found it harder than Don't Starve. Figuring out attack patterns and when to dodge was fun. I'm close to the last 3rd of the game with only the fire biome to go and I've enjoyed my time. Kind of wish we could see more games like this from this dev.

This game reminds me of "don't starve together".
