Forager

Forager is an open world exploration arcade game where it all starts with a tiny piece of land. The player cuts down trees, mines ore, fishes and gradually expands his possessions, turning an empty field into a working farm. The main cycle is simple and addictive: extracted a resource - built a workshop - gained access to new lands and improvements. The click is repeated thousands of times, but in the meantime, skills are discovered that speed up the work, and this encourages you to move on. There are also dungeons with enemies where you need to be careful and not rush. The world does not put pressure on the player: you can calmly farm, or you can go into combat dungeons and collect trophies. The tasks gradually become more complicated, and along with them the costs for the next improvement increase - you don’t get bored. It is also worth noting that the game has both dungeons and different biomes: desert, winter lands, tropics - and each has its own resources and its own dangers. Bosses do not require strength, but understanding: each has its own method of attack, and you have to dodge according to a certain pattern. Individual upgrades are purchased with rare materials, so you should spend them wisely. Separately, it is worth noting that progress here does not require strict consistency: you can go fishing, or you can go digging for ore - there are almost no restrictions. Due to this, even a long session does not turn into a mandatory program. The graphics are deliberately simple, pixelated, the music is peppy. The Forager is well suited for those who like short sessions and visible progress: it is always clear what to do next, and there is almost always something to do.
