I wouldn't recommend this game. It's fun for the first 10 minutes, gets boring really fast.
There's no objective to it. Just get to the lowest point possible. There's some obstacles like mobs and random bombs that go off, but aside from that which just introduces a frustrating kind of chaos, there's nothing much.

If you love cooking simulator games, get this.
If you love Bakso, GET THIS.

Props to the developers. They have exceeded all the expectations I had of this game.
I bought this game without watching any videos or reading any reviews on the day of release and honestly it has blown my mind how polished it is.

The gameplay is simple, easy to follow, but there's also depth to it. Run the shop to earn money except on your off days, join the brawls where you have to perform minigames and keep track of scoring to improve your reputation. Earn money to buy more ingredients, upgrade your tools, craft new recipes and decorate your shop. There's also different characters you can interact with. All within the small, lovely town of Kuloniku.

So far, I'm having a ton of fun. And it's been a while since I've had fun playing similar genre cooking simulators which tend to increase difficulty by just overcomplicating recipes. Also note that the developers have kindly included a cozy mode where there are no timers so you can take your time to prepare the food!

Thank you to the developers!

Devs that listen to player feedback are amazing. Thanks for the new idle mode!

Until the achievement bug has been fixed, I can't recommend this game.

There's been complaints of the achievement bug for a fair bit of time. Although 1 of the devs have stepped up to provide a temporary solution, unfortunately it does not work.

While reading the initial discussion thread on the issue, 1 of the developer's response just didn't sit right with me. I'm sure we understand that a small team may take time to solve bugs, but it does not justify a response that sounds insincere and seems to be guilting people.

I'm sure we understand that it is not easy to manage, but it is unfair when buyers are made to wait without a definite schedule or next plan of action from the team.

Hopefully this gets fixed ASAP.

An idle bakery game with quite a fair bit of things to do. Graphics is cute, gameplay is simple.

Farm and fish to get the right ingredients for the item you need to make to submit for requests. You also need to maintain inventory of the farming and fishing items. There's also a furniture shop where you can buy various themed furnitures to decorate your shop. Overall, a decent idle game with many interactable features.

Very straightforward to 100% but it may a lot of time.

It's just a lil guy running.
Pretty simple desktop companion. Only thing is that it does not have any option to turn off always on top.

For final achievement, if it doesn't automatically unlock for you, just restart the game :)

Short idle game that you really don't have to do anything.
Just AFK and you will earn enough currency to buy whatever is required for all achievements.
Compared to other similar idle games (this has a fairly similar concept to Ropuka's idle island), there's far too little to do. The decorations are also extremely limited.
I would say to get it on sale if you're just achievement hunting.

Short but satisfying linear progression game
Collect resources, upgrade, get to satisfying almighty destroyer mode and obliterate everything on your screen.
Great for stress relief
Pretty straight forward to 100%

This studio does not disappoint.

Always a fan since the first Ori game. And No Rest for the Wicked exceeded all my expectations.

The story telling is fantastic. Similar to Ori, this game does not hold your hand. You may explore the vast map, though there is a certain kind of lock (not completely open world), but it's understandable that players should progress the story to unlock more parts of the map. The way the map unlocks itself is rather tied to the story rather than just an unexplained block.

Combat is sufficiently challenging, yet so engaging. As a souls-like, expect to die multiple times, especially to bosses. But that just makes the win even more rewarding. There's many kinds of weapons to choose from, and it's further expanded upon by choice of weapon skills, elements, enhancements.

The multiplayer aspect is very well honed too. There's no lag and the server is hosted on their end. You can select which region you would like to host in. I have not experienced any severe lag or network connectivity issues so far after 35 hours of playing multiplayer. Do note that there is friendly fire, but as it should since positioning and coordination with team mates should be taken into consideration to make fights with multiple people challenging rather than a steamroll against the boss.

It's a unique experience in my opinion. Always going to be a supporter of this studio 💖

Insanely good
