So much potential. yet so unpolished and buggy. issues with resolutions. cute, but unrealized.

I really want to love this cute adorable game. The biggest downer to me is how grindy it is for levels and recipes. In fact i stop playing at 7 hrs. The mobs i need to kill for the next recipes hit me for 1/5 my health per a hit, but i have the max gear i can get. I can keep playing this isnt a total kill progression, but id have to grind the starter mobs for lvls for hours but the skills dont really seem to have a lot of effect on damage and defense so i chose to stop.

This game is not worth the price. Here's why...
1. the map is too big for how short the days are
2. the directional attacks can hit even if you use your shield because you can never tell where they want you to block (up or left for instance)
3. the game doesn't run smoothly (at least for us)
4. the hot bar scrolling is inconvenient at best and your death at worst
5. there are no tutorials (you're expected to just know how to play the fishing game or that the things on the ground are portals)
6. the mobs can hide in spots you can't even see (such as behind the leaves of trees or in doorways of houses)
7. My sister's pet disappeared when we logged off
All in all buggy as hell.

Lacking an incredible amount of polish. Dialog automatically opens and will get you killed consistently. The movement is not aligned with the map, additionally dash only works in cardinal directions despite the map being isometric. This is completely non-intuitive. Spells are only usable in the cardinal directions and frequently work against you. The in-game help menu only covers common mechanics that I'd posit the majority of players already know. It offers nothing of value to the player. There is little to no direction, and this is due to the random drop recipe system. Your first play through you'll likely be wandering around dying a lot trying to figure out how to get a weapon, which you can't obtain until you gain the recipe through combat.

There is a -game- in here somewhere but playing this feels like abandonware in early beta. It's plainly unfinished and likely won't ever be considering how long it's been since an update. It's not worth the $10 price point as is, in my opinion.

Feel the Snow is a very cute game which resembles games like Don't Starve in its basic concept.
You are a snow thingy running around gathering and crafting stuff. While it can be fun, it's rather difficult to pick up and not playing for a few weeks leads to completely forgetting the not intuitive controls and mechanics of the game. Combat is clunky which would be fine, but so are most other things you can do. I just couldn't warm up to the game, despite it also having its good and cute parts.

It's an underwhelming experience, there is no tutorial and the game is not intuitive nor it taught as you progress. You have to search things on internet constantly to try understand basic features of the game.
The idea is good, you have to bring life back into a town, but the towns feel lifeless and each new town likewise feels the same.
The combat is very bad, there's is a lot of running around trying to align yourself perfectly with your target, and its not at all forgiving if you're even a pixel off. Some enemies give you no openings, some enemies will follow you literally forever, and all of them will circle around if you talk to an NPC just waiting to mob you.
The map is huge but there's is very little reward for exploring.

I could make a better game in a couple of weeks. In fact it inspired me to go back to game development.

Ima be honest, feels unfinished? At least if there was a tutorial i missed it... Based on the reviews I expected a chill game, chill experience, and there seemed to be some of that there, but I just don't quite get it. The music seems alright, but has the feeling of a piano slapped over the game and not really matching up with the gameplay.

Another part of why I can't recommend is probably because I have plenty of hours on Don't Starve, so I definitely just got used to and prefer their challenging gameplay.

I think the game is abandoned, meaning that my issues probably won't ever get fixed
a lot of my complaints are reflected in other people's reviews so I won't rehash them. I will say that I 100% agree.
big things are quality of life and how lonely and boring everything is. huge empty map with nothing to see, npcs have flat dialogue you can't even skip through.
base building, survival and combat are janky and would be boring if not for how irritating they are. this is incredibly important because those are the whole point of the game!

feel the wasted potential. didn't get very far due to numerous issues, of which I'm sure there are more later.

what's good:

• quit anytime without losing progress, you'll be at the same place at the same time when you come back
  
• no inventory drop on death, back to spawn with minimum health
  
• interact with a tree or similar once to break, no need to hold or press many times even if it needs multiple actions
  
• if you have an extra weapon or tool, the game will switch to it if the current one breaks
  
• can split stacks
  
• rebindable controls
  
• graphics
  
• music

what's not:

• messy and frustrating controls, leading to messy and frustrating combat (see below)
  
• ranged combat is a joke, you can only shoot in the 4 cardinal directions
  
• typewriter effect and text display sound for dialog (can click to make it appear faster, still tedious)
  
• hunger and temperature, always fun to deal with every 5 minutes
  
• stamina, depleted by a few seconds of sprinting with a barely noticable speed increase
  
• can't zoom out to see more of the world, only on the map
  
• can't build or place anything in the starter village but don't have a bed recipe initially either to set spawn elsewhere
  
• time moves very fast and the game doesn't pause during dialog or when the inventory or the map is open
  
• small inventory with small stack sizes
  
• dropped resources have to be picked up one by one by interacting with them
  
• healing items have a long cooldown (10 seconds on everything after eating some berries to heal 10 points of 100)
  
• nights are dark, need lights but fires go out within a minute, demand constant babysitting like everything else
  
• item durability (same as lights or hunger, unnecessary tedium, terraria has none of it and look how much more fun it is)
  
• enemies spawn right next to you while standing in a lit place (not sure if they mess up your house, didn't bother with walls and doors)
  
• multiple playable characters but their difficulty is either 3/5 or 4/5, no easy mode or similar
  
• side-quests don't seem to get added to the journal, hard to keep track of who needs how many of what and where

a bit more about controls because they're unbelievable. you'd think pressing 1 to select the sword you put there, then left-clicking would attack. nope. gotta move the selection cursor with the mouse wheel over the 1st slot too, only then can you use it. or awkwardly keep pressing the attack hotkey. similarly, moving the selection over a tool with the mouse wheel and pressing interact won't do ♥♥♥♥, gotta press left click first to confirm the selection. and when you're used to this, you find out rekindling a fire or cooking isn't done with 'interact', nor from the hotbar, but gotta open the inventory and use twigs or whatever on the fire.

with better controls and quality of life, plus some considerations for customizable difficulty and survival elements, it could've been something great and fun to play. as it is, it just goes to show that saving anytime and no inventory drop on death aren't enough for an enjoyable experience, and it's not much consolation that most games in this genre don't even do those right.
