I just got 104% completion and all achievements in this game in about 45 hours, this game is absolutely massive. The game is about collecting and discovering many different types of bees, and each bee has its own requirements. Some bees need to be found during a snowstorm, some need to be bred near a music box, some need to be next to other hives, some need to be next to machines, some need to be next to a heater or cooler, some are grumpy and need to be calmed down with flower scenets, etc etc, there's close to 50 bees in the game and that's just counting the regular social bees, there's also flowers to collect which also have requirements, solitary bees which also are a huge puzzle, and butterflies. Also, each of these bees makes honey which you can sell or combine with water to make apicola(which you can also sell), and a special produce you can sell. Flowers also modify the behavior of bees near them, some flowers make your bees create a lot more bees, some boost productivity, some boost your chance of getting a new bee, some make your bees stay up longer into the night, etc. You can also boost these with incenses, which do things like increase your luck or the chance of bees spawning nearby. All this to say, the game has a massive amount of things to collect and a huge number of ways to optimize them, it's a great collectation. Cons: The game is unfortunately mostly waiting. Wait for bees to finish their lifecycle to spawn more bees. Wait for bees to produce more stuff with their production cycle. Wait for the woodcutter to cut the wood into planks. Wait for the flowers to grow. Wait for butterflies to spawn. Wait in a bed so it's night time so you can get that elusive night time bug. Wait, wait, wait. It's a huge amount of waiting. Also, almost through the whole entire game my inventory has been full, the game has a lot of items you need often and many of them dont stack, including bees themselves and the frames they're placed in. Also, many of game's systems need you to open many menus and do upkeep on everything, for example bees at the end of their lifecycle will stop producing and you'll need to manually press R on them to restart them, and for honey frames you need to manually move them from the apiary to the uncapper to the extractor and then back to the apiary. You eventually get to automate this, but it's almost always tedious to do. Overall, I really recommend this game but with the warning that a lot of it is just waiting for things to be done. If you can get past that, there's a lot of stuff to discover in this game.
APICO gets a review now. Bee game. Best enjoyed on my widescreen monitor so I can have sooo many machine tabs open at once. Very glad there's automation late into the game, and the overall gentle "hey, with cogs, now your machine keeps spinning once cranked" is Very helpful as well as the first time I've seen a small boost to production in early-game go so well. Go bees. Very glad I can buy Monthense's theme music. I group this game with Minecraft, Terraria, and Stardew valley in my head for it's ability to let me live in a virtual location for a Really long time, slowly building and improving it around me. VERY GLAD THERE'S MULTIPLAYER
I attempted to start this game several times and was not in to it, but then I tried again and accepted a sort of.. slower pace for it. Trying to understand and do things all at once all at the same time is immediatley overwhelming and sort of impossible. Instead of trying to breed 4 special bees and cross 7 flowers and find 2 butterflys all at once, and stress about honey being ready to process.. I just log in for a bit and focus on one thing at a time. This approach has made the game much more enjoyable and you can be a bit relaxed, and trust the game in saying there is no rush. I like being able to pick one small goal, like breeding a new type of flower, and not trying to juggle many things at once. There are tons of other things I feel like I need to do, restoring ecosystems and finding species, but I let myself let go and take it easy. I appreciate how this game has helped me slow down.
I picked up APICO not really knowing what to expect. A cute game about bees? Sounds fun! It ended up being so much more addictive than I expected. The whole game revolves around beekeeping, obviously. Breeding different bees, discovering new species, and restoring the environment. It starts off pretty simple, but once you get into the bee breeding mechanics it gets surprisingly deep. Trying to figure out new combinations and unlock rarer bees definitely scratched my completionist brain. I also really appreciated that the game isn’t only about bees. The butterfly catching/breeding and flower collecting were great side activities, especially when I got a bit stuck or wasn’t sure what direction to go with the bees. It was a nice break while still feeling like I was progressing and helping restore the ecosystem. The vibe of the game was too cute! The pixel art is super cozy, the music is relaxing, and it’s just the kind of game you can sink hours into without even noticing. I’d sit down to “check on my bees for a minute” and suddenly it’s been three hours. I'm not sure if 100% completing all the achievements in 57hrs of gameplay is normal, but to me it felt pretty quick. It definitely gets grindy at times, especially when you’re waiting on specific bee mutations or gathering materials, but if you enjoy slow progression and building up your systems over time it’s so satisfying! Overall it’s such a relaxing little game. Cute bees, cozy islands, and lots of experimenting. I wasn’t expecting to get as invested as I did, but now I’m very very emotionally attached to all of my bees.
