The game follows the protagonist of choice who has been called by his family on a navigational quest to uncover secrets from his past on the island of Gemea and destroy the ancient darkness that terrorizes the region.
Terrifying is nothing to say about this game, because the most you'll get out of it is the intense need to farm and build in order to fulfill various objectives. The game begins with the typical cliché of a character who has too many items and ends up losing them in an “unexpected” storm (apparently you can choose the genre of the character, but in the end of the game it has a feel that the developer has let slip on the script).
Centered around 8 different regions with changing climates and seasons where you can build 6 farms and collect different pets based on their biomes. As well as planting tree seedlings and horticulture. The better you manage your farm, the higher its quality percentage will become. This also applies to each of the 8 regions, where you will have various options to turn them from bad to exceptional. These options include planting trees, carrying out quests, clearing the darkness, finding spirits and improving your farm.
Yonder The Cloud Catcher is a game that doesn't permeate the idea of surviving and dying trying, because from start to finish your immortal journey is focused more on building, resorting, destroying, creating and discovering (apart from the Altair case or Tommy Vercetti Water Syndrome). If you like lush, paradisiacal landscapes with a distinctive cute nature and a focus on building and exploring, this game is for you, as you'll spend a lot of time collecting many, many items to achieve and build.
!Note:! If you want to platinum this game, I recommend that you focus on the fish collection achievement as soon as you get the fishhook, as it is by far the most difficult, and once you have passed it, you are already on the path to peace and quiet.

Ignore the time in my steam profile. From the moment I first beat this game I instantly tracked down the switch port through ebay actions just so I could play it again.
I'm chronically ill. Every time i'm too sick to get out of bed or or too medicated to think or even breathe I reach for this game. I've beaten it dozens of times now and im still not sick of it. I love the music. the bugs. The graphics. the farming mechanics and the absolute lack of pressure on your shoulders. This is a game that lets you fuck off from the very start and it never punishes you for it. You can beat every single side quest before ever touching the main plot and the game just lets you. I love that. I love this game.
Whenever I recommend it to my friends (which I do often) I jokingly call it 'side-quests - the video game.' Thats not an insult. I adore this game. I have over fifty hours in this game. I'll likely keep replaying this across its multiple ports until I die. Its the first game to really fully understand my need to just wander around and explore. Theres so much hidden lore in this world that i've yet to figure out. Why does the tinker guild master have beef with the bakers? Why are the constellations lost? What is the compass made of?
Some answers are hidden within the game, some i'll never know. I often come back to this store page just to check if theres been any update. Even just a new cosmetic pack. A mod. A new guide. New theory just because of how much this game means to me. This game makes me want to create. I want to draw for it. Write for its world. Understand it just a little better.
Theres no combat. Theres no risk. But a game doesn't need to have that to be good.
For me, this game is home. I really, genuinely think more people should give it a go.

Wonderful game but only for a certain type of gamer. The games exploration and crafting. There is no combat at all and very few extremely simple puzzles. If you like exploring to find resources, crafting things from those resources, using the crafted things to complete quests you will enjoy this game(this is the only gameplay loop). The farm keeping aspect of the game is extremely rudimentary. This game is not challenging at all but is super relaxing. The graphics are very cheer and bright and all the character dialog is very silly and kid friendly. Its the type of game were you can turn you brain off and just collect things.I would rate it an 8/10 for what it is as long as you have realistic expectations. There is no tension in this game. My recommendation would be to grab it when its on sale. For a game that released in 2017 $25 is a little steep. I definitely think its a must buy at $15.

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 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.

I got Yonder for my 7 year old daughter to play, only the second PC game she's played (after Old Man's Journey). This has been a *MASSIVE* hit with her. The open world is gorgeous and fun to explore; the tasks are interesting and varied. We've been completely thrilled with our Yonder experience. She's now 8 and continuing through the game and we cannot recommend it highly enough for younger players.
