Worlds Upon The Wind

At this price point I would struggle to point out another game that can bring me as many hours of being focused and engaged, especially one that can teach me something about art and language, has heaps of interesting storylines, encourages me to find ever more mechanics that support each other and manages to make me leave relaxed.

The story is interesting, the art is beautiful, the way of developing the world is fascinating, and through it all you get to enjoy little mini-events and watch the world change.

The Japanese woodblock art style throughout the game is gorgeous, it has loads of content, and the difficulty is steep enough to present a good challenge but not leave you feeling frustrated, scratching that roguelite itch through unlocks and event discoveries.

The game commits to making extensive use of historical artwork for visuals, using them to accent the game's soft, ink and paper, stylings in a way can be truly quite striking.

I honestly can't see anyone getting sweaty over this, not with the dulcet tunes of such a banger OST in the background.
