This Review is Dedicated to my Aunt Stephanie aka Steffi.
Steffi was just a half Year older then me and we gre up like Brother and Sister.
2 Years ago she found out she got Cancer. First, it seemed she defeated it.
But 6 Weeks ago it returned. In her last 4 Weeks i was each day in the Hospital
Holding her Hand, making her last Times easier with Memories of the Past.
7 Days ago she left this World.
This is my 400 Review, Aunt Steffi, and it is for you.
Welcome to YONDER: THE CLOUD CATCHER CHRONICLES.
At first YONDER is a really chilling Open World Adenture Game.
So what Steffi and i have had in common are beautifull Landscapes or Worlds.
In YONDERs World Gemea you will found enough of it.
Gemea is an Island hidden behind Clouds.
Absolutly Peacefull.
In the Beginning you can create your Hero and start your Journey on a Ship on your Way to Gemea.
Of course, it will happen as it must. A Storm crashes your Ship and you are stranded on the Island.
But don´t worry. This is the Beginning of a wonderfull Adventure.
What Steffi i also have had in common is Freedom. The Freedom of choices.
In YONDER you have the absolutly Freedom of your Choices.
You decide what you want to do and when you want it to do.
No Time Pressure, no Penaltys, no Stress.
Take your Time to explore wonderfull Landscapes and find a way to reveal the Secrets of the Island
with the Help of Ghosts you must find.
While you do so you are able to rise up a Farm.
Adopt Animals and take care of them. Plant what you want and enjoy the Results.
The Animals are so cute, Steffi would have also loved them.
What else you can do?
You can go fishing, join a Guild, create Items and so much more.
And the best Thing of it all, you can do it without Pressure, without Time Limit, without Penaltys.
The Game is so peacefull, there is no Combat.
You can explore the World in all tranquility.
Even if you fall from a higher Position, your Hero is taking out an Umbrella and you slowly fly to the Ground.
Unharmed.
YONDER is a totally chilling and wonderfull Game.
With nice Graphics and wonderfull Sounds and Musics.
A Place you want to go back after leaving it.
A Place you want to totally explore and find everything.
A Game my Aunt Steffi would have really loved.
Thanks for beeing my Sister for 53 Years, dear Aunt Steffi.
You are in my Heart Forever.
And thank YOU for reading.

A peaceful and lovely game, Yonder is certainly a good choice if you want to take a break from all the busy gaming.
It can get boring because it's probably too cosy and quiet.

This game is an extremely cosy, relaxing and fairly simple game to play. The world is quite pretty, it gives off something similar to Wii games of years passed. The graphics are comforting in much the same way. It took me around 20 hours to complete the main story line, which is the perfect length for this type of game, in my opinion. There are many, many little secret spots dotted around the map. I don't yet believe I've found them all. Most of the quests are engaging and fairly simple to follow through with, though some may be inherently mundane just based off the type of quest they are. This game would be excellent for all ages. It is not scary, not violent, and there is no spoken-word dialogue between characters. Replayability is good, though there isn't really much variation to how the game ends if you choose to play through again. Prideful Sloth did spectacular on this game.

I don't know how to explain it, but this became a nice little comfort game for me. I could get lost in exploration, listen to the GREAT music, and just enjoy the visuals. There is an underlining story, but it's not that big to the whole grand scheme of the game and can be completed quickly. Everything else in the game is mostly just the enjoyment of helping to improve each region, and the island as a whole.

If you're someone who starts a game and hates the feeling of being put into the world, left to figure things out yourself, this won't be for you. It's the kind of game where you have to enjoy exploration and item collection, otherwise, you'll likely get kind of irritated with it. The movement is bad- do not use a keyboard, it feels so much better on controller. I also was left toggling with the visuals a lot; night time(which feels longer than the days.) is too dark, I would up the gamma during night, then during the day I had to lower it.
Also, do yourself a favor and turn off the bloom, it looks terrible.

If you're someone who's obsessed with achievements you will have to go into the community page and find the guides. I'm sure after spending a while on it you can figure things out by yourself, but I had no interest in wasting that much time. There is fast travel in the game, but it's not great, and the fast travel points are pretty spread out/not close to places you find yourself having to check out a lot. Lastly, there is no time-skip system, so, again, if you care about achievements maybe you'll want to plan out the achievements as you're playing through everything, otherwise you'll be left waiting for seasons/times to come around again.

Cute, pretty fun, wish I would've realized there was fast travel wayyyyyy earlier than I did though.

A fun cozy open-world adventure game with farming sim elements. If your looking to pass the time and you like cozy farming sim games, check this out.
