There isn't really a game here, there's just a list of tasks. You have no freedom to discover solutions, fail at a task, or solve puzzles. All you do is walk up to objects and press interact, or open a menu and press interact on an element of it. It's a shame because the game is extremely beautiful, and the writing is fun. I think this really should have been an animation though

This game is not for everyone. This is a game for people who get an innate joy out of picking up items to turn into items and using those items to get more items that in turn require you to pick up more items. But if you are one of those people, this game is for you.

Wytchwood is the perfect cozy grind game! I think the biggest gripe others might have is that it can be a slog to get all of the MANY ingredients needed for crafting, there is a lot of back and forth and even with the teleportation gates it takes a while. I personally really enjoyed this aspect and just gathered extra of each item when I was collecting since there is no limit in your inventory. The vibe is …

To preface, DO NOT play this game if you do not like grinding. There is a ton of grinding. All that aside, the story is rich with interesting dialogue and the end is. . . something else. I'm not sure how to describe it. All I can say is that it left me feeling conflicted and, any ending that leaves me that way, is a win in my book.

Cute and charming, but it never stops putting me to work. This feels less like a cozy witch fantasy and more like a constant grind of gathering ingredients. XD

Players who liked Wytchwood talk about beautiful hand-drawn art and cozy atmosphere; those who didn't talk about extremely repetitive fetch quests and grinding. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Wytchwood received positive reviews on Metacritic. Writing for Rock Paper Shotgun, Alice Bell wrote "A dark fairy-tale to-do list that takes full advantage of its premise and has a lot of fun with it. You'll fall in love with Wytchwood's no-nonsense crone." In her review for Eurogamer, Malindy Hetfeld said she enjoyed her first 10 hours playing the game, but the crafting began to feel like busy work. Though he criticized the game's pacing, Nintendo Life's reviewer, Ollie Reynolds, called Wytchwood "a relaxing and addictive jaunt into the world of crafting".

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's genuinely hard to recommend this game, but that's not to say it's bad, I'm just torn. A lot of the game feels like busy work collecting things over and over and quickly realising some things get used far more than others. So back and forth you go like a glorified fetch quest. Sounds pretty terrible right? Well, there's a bit of magic to it, ironically enough. The story and artwork for the game are great and feel like a cartoon Grimm brothers, the music in places really has a beautiful…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game so much! The art, atmosphere, and characters are what carries the game. The story is interesting, but it is a narrative driven game that is all crafting and fetch quests. Which I enjoyed, thought was done well, and not tedious like some fetch quests can be. If you don't enjoy fetch quests though you will probably not enjoy this game. If you are on the fence and want to try be sure to collect every ingredient you can as you pass it. Eventually you learn what ingredients are…

neutral · AI labelView post →I so badly wanted to like this game. It's absolutely gorgeous to look at and has great sound design. However, unless you really, really enjoy endless fetch-questing, it becomes extremely repetitive very quickly. Once you've gone about the business of collecting the first four souls, you've experienced just about all the game has to offer. Additionally, I appear to have run into a game-breaking bug during the Hawk quest. The Spirit Deer dropped the antler, but it didn't populate in my inventory…

neutral · AI labelView post →I wish I could recommend this game, as the art style is beautiful and the writing is charming. Unfortunately, it isn't enough of a game for me to recommend other people to buy this. Insert "this could have been an email" joke - but seriously, I think this would work better as a graphic novel game instead of the crafting adventure it's marketed as. Your gameplay is receiving a list of tasks, going to start them, finding out there's ten more subtasks that all require spells with ingredients…

PROS: -The art is gorgeous. It's like a real storybook. The characters, whether main, side, or just background noise, are all well-designed. The settings are special and unique. -the writing for this game is great. Also feels like a storybook. -has huge Brothers Grimm vibes -it's funny CONS: GOOD GOD THE GAMEPLAY IS SO BORING.

positive · AI labelView post →Completed my goal and finished my second game for the year. Wytchwood I absolutely loved! The intense crafting was fun and having to strategize to get everything you need made it enjoyable for sure! 9/10
positive · AI labelView post →If you're looking for a cozy crafting #game where you collect wicked souls to complete a contract, might I recommend Wytchwood. There is a particular soul (a Ram) with a group of sheep cultists who decry wearing colorful clothing. The allegories are deliciously on the nose. #indiegames
positive · AI labelView post →Wytchwood is an outstanding exploration, collection and crafting game where you craft various items to resolve some very interesting and creative storylines. The music and story writing are both 10/10. The game takes about 10-12 hours to beat, so if you are looking for a short weekend game, this one will not disappoint! Hoping there will be a sequel one day as the gameplay formula is quite cozy and fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Today's Indie Spotlight from Carlos features Wytchwood, a crafting adventure game that should accommodate many players with its forgiving gameplay. Remapping and disabling holds further allow players to play with limited mobility. caniplaythat.com/2025/09/12/i...
neutral · AI labelView post →At first, Wytchwood leaves a good impression with its beautiful art and fable setting. However, the shortcomings of its level design and crafting system become evident 2 or 3 hours in. About the level design: the game consists of 12 independent levels (fables); each one is just a linear sequence of fetch quests: fetch (or craft) something X from somewhere Y for somebody Z. And that's all! There is zero puzzle or problem solving: almost every single time, you are told explicitly what materials…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gorgeous game, but don't buy if you don't like doing fetch quests. Collect (or rather hoard) EVERYTHING on your way and you will be thanking your past self later on.

neutral · AI labelView post →I understand that the point of this game is to collect things and then craft from those things but I cannot believe how tedious and boring this got by the end of the game. By the third act I was dreading every step of every quest because of how complex each step and recipe became and how much back and forth across the map was required. All of which was for very little payout as the ending of the game is extremely unsatisfying. The game does have a unique art style and a very nice soundtrack but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would strongly recommend The Wild at Heart to anybody looking for a beautiful cozy game to immerse themselves in. Basically a cross between Wytchwood and Pikmin.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a lot of running around gathering supplies but I enjoyed it. I liked going out on my little supply runs and exploring, even if it was a bit repetitive overall. I think you just need to be in the right mindset when playing. Don't rush around trying to get it all done as quick as possible, just enjoy the running around and crafting spells. The end was a bit anticlimactic, feel like there could have been a bit more but still enjoyed the game as a whole.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wytchwood is a game not for everyone. The gameplay loop is simple: Grind materials --> Process them --> turn them in to advance story and get new recipes --> repeat. The story itself is a bit morbid and reminds me of old fairytales. Overall it is a short game and I enjoyed it for what it is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →basically me running around collecting random stuff like a forest goblin. Super chill and oddly satisfying if you like crafting loops.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What I love : - Charming graphics, engaging storyline, short games What I hate : - The resources gathering aspects, i tend to pull up the wiki to get information for the resources and how there are limitation on the resources itself, so you can need to be mindful on the crafts. - The ending feels not rewarding Honestly, if you're looking for a short game that you can play over and over again, this not it. It's a very short game with strong and rich storyline. It's a type of a game that when…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay is repetitive where you explore and gather materials to craft, but the very beautiful art style and the storyline make it worth your time. There are fast travel points so going back and fro to collect things is pretty manageable, but if you like looting things everywhere you go, you would already have most of the ingredients in your satchel when the time comes to craft quest items (such is my case). A fun game, thumbs up!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the best cozy games I have ever played. The art style is gorgeous, and the writing is amazing. It has the perfect amount of cozy and unsettling, If you don’t like running around to get quest items for crafting and such, you probably won’t like this game. It took me 10 hours to finish all of the quests and 100% it. I wish I could delete this game from my brain so I could play it again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is cute and has a cool artstyle. The vibes are pretty good! However. This game is entirely fetchquests. This is admittedly pretty fun in the begining, but it really started dragging by the end, especially when you run out of an early-game resource and have to backtrack to pick a ton of it up. I founf the story to be... disappointing. I wish that the wicked characters were connected to each other. I wish that we actually got to find out what they specifically did to wrong the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Positive review with a big asterisk. Cute artstyle and graphics but the game is a giant fetch quest where you never stop grinding materials for the next recipe in similar locations. Personally loved the first 3 quests, dragged along the next 3 and by the last 3 I was wishing to finish already. I think playing this on the Deck is a must, it worked flawlessly and the game benefited from this, allowing for casual play in short sessions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I quite enjoyed Wytchwood, that is a charming fairy tale crafting game, and Stray is a good one if you like cats. Bugsnax is also unironically a good game involving catching weird bug-like creatures. Subnautica is brilliant as is Outer Wilds, both great exploration games, though for a shorter experience try Abzu. On the puzzle side I'd recommend tetris effect or Humanity. I think most, if not all, are on Extra, though a few I might have got a monthly offers on ps plus.
positive · AI labelView post →A fairy tale game for grown-ups. I really like the hand-drawn, story-book aesthetic of the game and its full of Gothic fairy-tale references that make the world really fun to explore. You'll like this game if you like fetch-quests and travelling all around the map looking for specific ingredients to fulfil the quest lines.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would leave a neutral review if I could because the game was alright. I feel like there is so much potential here but after completing the game and the quests within it, I just feel empty. By the time I got around to collecting a soul, I felt so exhausted that I was just glad to be done running around for a moment. It was certainly an interesting storyline but I feel there could have been more conflict when collecting certain souls along with the game's conclusion. For a lot of the soul…
