60 of 79 · most liked firstI was so excited for this game I’ve been following for years, but unfortunately it just doesn’t feel ready. At first glance it’s really adorable and a fun game play but after 30-60min, the amount of bugs was so annoying it felt impossible to play. Classic game mechanics are missing like inventory numbers in selling and buying, and everything you hover over makes a noise like you’re selecting it even if you don’t click anything. And you have to select something to see any info, you can use…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the idea of this game and was so excited to purchase and play on launch day! Since then I have had to completely restart the game from scratch 3 times. The game is just NOT PLAYABLE IN ITS CURRENT FORM. There have been no updates since the second week of the game being out and it really just feels like the devs have abandoned this game. It was a cute concept but in the end the major bugs/ game crashes has left it unplayable. I would not suggest purchasing until the whole game is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good idea, poor execution. I loved the idea of a cozy, witchy farming game where you can grow spooky pets. However, the game lacks substance and polishing. It's incredibly repetitive and boring especially for a farming game. Every day it's the same few quests and at one point you gather so many resources that you max our your storage, which the game does not clearly inform you of. I only found out because I went onto the discord to see if anyone else was getting the weird error. There's very…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SUPER BUGGY & DEV IS RADIO SILENT , GAME HAS BEEN ABANDONED Edit to add: the new 2.0 update sucks, hate the totally changed new combat battle system, still extremely buggy, unplayable. Waste of $17
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is a huge BUT with me not recommending this game. I bought this during the steam sale and wouldn't purchase this game in its current state at full price. I really love the art style and have enjoyed playing the game for the most part. However like many other reviews, the game is very buggy, and it seems like devs have abandoned this game. Its was fun for the first couple of hours, until I started noticing I was losing progress (even after saving), and the shops were bugged. I would…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →seems like abandonware. Very sad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this one and I guess I still do. I fully enjoyed the art and the few hours I played if it was that long. But it has too many bugs. So many things that don't register when you select or try to select them. Suddenly no buttons work and you have to fully exit. Please fix.. It's so cute and I'm going to patiently wait for an update since I hoard games. But no I can't recommend till it's fixed 😭😭😭
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, i like this game, i want to recommend it, its cute, the gameplay loop is pretty fun, and has a fun vibe to it. But oh lord, the problems. First up, it says it has full controller support, this is not entirely true, it simply bound the mouse to the right joystick and the movement keys to the obvious places. This makes operating in the inventory and menus particularly awkward, and with how much of the game is selling those adorable Critter Crops, you're going to be in menus alot, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OMG! It runs so smooth! I first played the demo/beta and thought it was such a cute game and an interesting story. After stopping by their booth at DreamHack Dallas.. and getting a plushie. I def was ready to get the full game. So excited its finally here! Already seeing so many amazing upgrades and new features! I'll be playing this one for a while. I didn't expect there to be so much to do now!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I backed this game on kickstarter. I anxiously awaited it's release and I'm sad to say I'm a little disappointed. I played it on release day and there were lots of issues that the dev quickly handled, so that's some of the good. The graphics of the game are absolutely adorable which is why I initially decided to back it. I'm a spoopy ghoul at heart, so the Halloween type theme also drew me in. Cozy gamer, and it was giving the vibes so it checks a lot of boxes for me. I did give the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I _attempted_ to play this game from the first day. I'ts a shame that after 3 weeks from release it's still absolutelly unplayable. First, ongoing issues with villagers not appearing. Now, villagers are there but constant bugs with dialogue. It opens randomly on action button and all of the interactable environment items are not interactable anymore. I'm here to sincerely support indie gamedev, but unfortunatelly I'm not able to do so if there's no ability to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are far too many issues thus far for me to enjoy this game. I was initially having difficulty progressing the story line early game as there was nothing left to unlock after I fixed the first shop and there were no quests left. There was no direction whatsoever. Well I am still having that issue, but then I also began encountering *many* bugs. I was unable to weed the plots, so I saved and quit. I came back in, but then I couldn't enter the inn. So I saved and quit. After going through…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, Not only is there no direction for quests, crafting, etc. But my upgrades would disappear for the shops and the houses I would repair. So I lost all the time, resources, and money used and not have the upgrade anymore. Sorry, but I just cannot recommend this game, I really tried and gave it 5 hours of my time and even ignored the other reviews.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't want to give it this review. I wanted to love it, or at least be enthusiastically optimistic about it. I'm here from the Kickstarter and have been crazy excited for this to come out. In the end, I have to compare this to another solo-developer game I purchased recently. That game is still in Early Access, and I can sum up what is currently "wrong" with it in a single concept: not enough content. What it has is beautifully implemented, it just needs a lot more to it to be a full game.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cute, but lots of bugs. Not really sure why these obvious bugs are overlooked by devs. Such as - Unable to interact with plants/weeds occasionally - Weeding requiring an insanely fast keytap QTE that is clearly impossible. - Items vanishing, or being visible only for a second, or not being visible till you're far away and then popping in. Not gamebreaking but definitely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying when it's every five seconds.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hoo, boy, that's terribly buggy. They fixed a good number with the update, but worse ones came in. Your barn empties randomly, harvesting breaks and does not fix upon reloading, just...ouch. I so wanted to finish, I was like three sessions from finishing the story before the update, but I just...can't. It's unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is still insanely glitchy. I love the way it looks, characters, and what it looks like it's meant to be. However, every time I log in there is something that goes wrong and I have to stop playing. Today it was entering the barn, then I couldn't enter the game area but could all the areas that are not meant to be used as a player. Often trying to interact with the visitors glitches out the game as well. Today, it would keep up the text box after exiting the conversation while trying…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can see the appeal with this cute game, the story is interesting and I like the setting, but I ended up getting stuck and could not progress because my path was blocked by an invisible wall. Once the bugs/glitches have been fixed, I'll jump in again, but it's just not playable at the moment. It's up to devs to play-test their game to ensure it's working nicely prior to release, not the paying customer. Or risk negative reviews.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought the game in July 2024, but back then it had many bugs, and progressing was quite difficult. Now, as of patch 2.0—after a year and some updates—the game is perfectly playable and truly enjoyable! I highly recommend this game to cozy game lovers. I fell in love with it the second I saw it! I can only give this game a positive review!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is cuter than you, it's cuter than your mudda, it's cuter than your partner and it's cuter than your cat too. Maybe not the last one but everything else it is unequivocally cuter. I don't play these kinds of games ever, check my games and you'll find nothing close. But I can't resist it's charms. It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cute, the animations, the creatures and the npcs. Like go to 16 seconds into the trailer. I need that red panda thing Unfortunately it is pretty buggy. Usually they are fixed…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually recommend games I enjoy to my friends but this would be a gigantic "don't get it." Very disappointed tbh. Between the bugs of daily quests not clearing up, the time never changing, to being attacked by monsters in murmurtown during the perpetual night that won't go away. If they kill you, it's a full stop and you load from your last save. Which btw, you have to do manually, there is no autosaving between sleeping. Some more cons are: giving tons of info prompts but then not having…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really looking forward to this game since the demo came out, and I am terribly dissapointed. Yes, the art style is gorgeous and the music is nice, but the gameplay is really boring. Same three quests every day, it bored me after only half an hour of gameplay, and the gameplay doesn't really feel rewarding. It feels incomplete and lacking.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game, but super buggy. The art style of the game is what caught my attention and I have loved the mystery of the story so far, but I keep getting frustrated with the bugs and quitting out of the game. I do NOT have a controller plugged into my PC, and it kept glitching and saying I was switching between keyboard and mouse and the controller especially during combat sequences. Some of the pop ups about the controller and a few others would get "stuck" on my screen until reloading the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. Unfortunately it is ridiculously buggy. You can get stuck. NPCs can get in the way and not allow you to select the actions you need to do. Honestly I don't know how people got as far as they did with the gameplay- I'm seeing on forums and reviews that people definitely got further than I did, and everything I found indicated I needed to 'progress further in the story." I believe I found how to do it, but I was missing an item to be able to do so. There's no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The art style looked promising at best, but that's all the real good to me. Tried the game, no clear instructions or game storyline, you're pretty much just left to your own devices once you begin the game, which is a bad thing if the game wanted to aim for players to feel engaged enough to go through further into the game. This review is short because I stopped playing through after the first couple of quests. Critter Crops has a great art style, I love the drawn artwork look, but that's all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is exactly what I had been hoping for!! I backed Critter Crops on Kickstarter a few years back and had gotten a taste of it through the demo, but I’m so excited it is fully out. I played on my Steam Deck - don’t let the “unsupported” label scare you, it runs beautifully. It has already been formatted for the deck, I’m sure it will be any day now that it is officially verified. The game is cute and cozy, very low key. Halloweentown meets Stardew Valley vibes. I can tell it will be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i’m live now and playing a new (to me) cozy game today :3 Critter Crops! ✩ you play as a witch and grow critters and helpe restore the island and AH! i’m excited! we might play some apex ranked later, but im not feeling the best so who knows!! i hope ur doing well today ♡ twitch.tv/thecloverfox ✩
unlabelledView post →This is such a cute and cozy game, I’d love to play it more but am now stuck. 😞 I can’t do any damage to the hydra. As soon as I enter the battle the game glitches and the hydra wont take damage or do anything. I even restarted the game but no luck. Hopefully this gets fixed soon so I can keep playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Critter crops is so cute! 🫶🏽 I love the cute art style and the spooky cute vibe it has. In regards to gameplay, I'm enjoying the growth cycle bars on crops, doesn’t take as much time as normal farming games, and the challenge of paying attention to mining/fishing to maximize items is fun, make sure you harvest when it turns green! You get 3 daily quests each day as well as your quests for the main story, do these to get rewards and money to buy more seeds to grow more critters! As you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is really cute, but it doesn't feel finished. It has a lot of great ideas, but none of them were fully realized. Each one ends up just okay. Some of the dialogue drags on without adding much, and the world feels buggy and incomplete. The characters are adorable, though. Overall, it's an okay game. Pick it up in a bundle or on sale if you're curious....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100 days before Halloween, might as well start with it being cute with Critter Crops! Congrats to the successful Kickstarter on this game! www.twitch.tv/beezlyderg
unlabelledView post →Made by an incredibly passionate and wonderful team of devs! Thank you for supporting Skyreach!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far I'm at the 3 HR mark when typing this up, I saw this game ages ago back when it was on kick starter, and when it popped up on my recommended list I was so excited to see it again, but I made the mistake of not reading the reviews before buying... at this point from what I've read, nothing on this game has been updated for over 6 months and is assumed to be dead. Now actually playing the game this becomes pretty evident. Some of the pathing for "what to do next" isn't very clear, some…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →super cute; super buggy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm obsessed with the visuals and character design. Some of the tasks can be a little repetitive but it's very cozy. Excited to keep playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To quote another reviewer, "An incredibly cute, incredibly buggy game." I've played worse, and I look forward to playing this again when it's fixed up. Hopefully that happens soon. I also wish there was a way to reread the tutorials later on.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An incredibly cute, incredibly buggy game. The art style was off putting at first, but quickly grew on me. I really like it, now. Farming was adorable. Watching the crops grow through their stages and turn into critters is just. The best thing ever. Only being able to "harvest" four crops at a time to take to the merchant for selling is absolutely *not* the best thing ever. Why your active critter party and your freshly harvested critters are the same thing is a design decision that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/5 Rating - I would recommend the game, it has an interesting story line, cute characters, PETS YOU CAN GROW FROM SEEDS, and I am very interested to see the outcome of the game. BUT! The game feels unfinished, I wouldn't even call it early access, more like demo stages. Tons of glitches, I assure you, neither my internet connection nor my PC are at fault. Here are the issues, I have come across, SAVING & RESTARTING does get rid of certain issues but not all. #1: Items in store do not explain…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a kickstarter backer way back when, so I'm ecstatic that the game is finally out! I've been playing for a few hours now, and the main takeaway is that I'm addicted! First impression: the game graphics, at first, seem like they're missing textures, but this is the ART STYLE of the game. Simple graphical style to convey the gameplay. It's sweet and cute There's some initial launch bugs, but nothing game breaking so far. I'm zooming around, gathering monies. it's very relaxing in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the look of this game and the idea a lot. It is so cute! However, the amount of visual bugs and lack of refinement makes it unplayable currently. It needs a lot of work. Menus and alerts shouldn't stay stuck on your screen. There is a lot of refinement to be done with the information available to players as well as controls. Using a controller on PC feels really janky but it is just as bad using the mouse and keyboard. When I can't do what I want with one, I use the other, which is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its just like a disney dreamlight walley game but not so interesting. withour russian language talking with characters is boring because i didnt understand all jokes and some adjectives. to craft some mixrures i need many and many days doing same thing go around town and get some items. mini qests are the same every day. i was interested in this game because its beautiful and this farm game but now i am dissapointed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →obviously as the game has newly come out, there are multiple bugs. however the game is still very playable and relaxing game. the art style is very adorable, the plants are adorable, and the npc's are adorable. every character is "voiced" provided you have proficiency in the language of the gods. thankfully there's subtitles for those without proficiency ;w; the music is also nice. if i had to nitpick, personally would like more animations. when mining, the character stands or walks in place.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My friend told me about this game so I checked it out. It's exactly the type of game I love. Had to go to work but what I played so far is amazing! I love Sylvie, shes so cute!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a cute game! I love that the character voices are a spooky version of similar games, and the art style is dainty and adorable. I'm enjoying the watering/growth cycle bars on crops, and the challenge of paying attention to mining/fishing to maximize items! I look forward to playing more and exploring Mur Mur Town ^.^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is so charming. I'm just in the beginning but I'm really enjoying the simple mechanics and the environment. I do wish that there was MORE. But I know that this is a one person team on a small budget. Here's to hoping we get DLC or something. To the dev team: Great job honestly! Crossing my fingers that more is coming!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game breaking bugs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Critter Crop instantly captivated me with its vibrant world and spooky charm. The game’s unique art style and catchy soundtrack created a truly magical atmosphere. Exploring Mur Mur Town and uncovering secret places, was a delightful experience, the core gameplay loop of raising critters and crafting spells was enjoyable, while leveling up critters was fun, there were limited opportunities for deeper interaction with them. The progression system, while intriguing, felt a bit convoluted at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I followed this game back when it was on TikTok being worked on, I didn’t know there was a demo out for it and bought it the day the game released. I was beyond excited as a person who loved Halloween I was excited for this to be my first game I’d play in the space of farming sims that I was going to do solo, I’ve done stardew but had watched so many videos that I knew what was going to happen already and this being fresh and new I was more then excited I was giddy to play it. Then I played it,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wonderful animation with such awesome storytelling and characters, but still has some kinks to work out. Due to the bugs, for example, I am currently not able to fight the boss at all (I just walk around and on top of the first boss) so I cannot move forward with the story, and constantly get stuck behind invisible objects or am unable to interact with objects unless I save, exit, and reenter my most previous login. I am, however, still very excited to see the updates that are made. I think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fun, but very buggy. Art style is cute, gameplay is entertaining, sound effects are great. I love the characters!! That being said, it has many bugs/glitches. Sometimes I cannot interact with items (rocks, fish) unless I restart the game. When some crops are ready (marked for "Harvest") I am unable to harvest them and the default action is to water them - this continues until they wilt. Additionally, sometimes when I go to sleep, I wake up and it's STILL evening - time does not pass.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far the art style is really different and cute. The clean colors and lines makes it very appealing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not my usual type of game choice but it was recommended. Honestly, having a great time. Can't wait for the release on switch. It could really be a great couch game for rainy days.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. I even purchased the plushies! But I just can't enjoy a game this glitchy. There's very little direction given for the story line and the stone puzzle is still stuck years after release on a fresh install. :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Glitchy, but fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cute game! love the style and enjoyed the demo when it came out! some of the resource collecting can get repetetive but i kinda love stuff like that haha.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a cute and really fun relaxing game. Love the art style.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been waiting for this game to come out eve before the first demo was released. I absolutely love this game, however, I'm finding it very hard to pick up any of the drops from mining when its nearby the daily task sign or Greeves. It's just very frustrating since the items disappear so quick. Also dont know if anyone else has this issue but sometimes I cant access the friendless post, I have to leave game and come back. Also when upgrading banshee and other stores, for some reason when…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to start by saying I’m absolutely loving this game. I’m playing on my steamdeck. It’s so cute. Im having a blast playing it. However, there are quite a few bugs I’ve noticed as well as just yearning for more content. First, the bugs I’ve noticed.. Often times I have to save the game and go back to menu and go back into the game because it gets really really buggy when trying to talk to the ghosts. Most of the time, I don’t get any dialogue out of the conversation and I give up and hit…
