March 2025
This is a fun, cute, cozy action-adventure game. It's not very difficult, though it is not meant to be, so if you want a game that doesn't make you sweat and grind, this is a good one. It invites you to use the environment to help with the combat, so you aren't only throwing potions at enemies. Also, the pacing is good... it's fun to play in both longer gaming sessions and shorter spurts. The level design is solid so far, the soundtrack is FANTASTIC, the other audio and sound effects are good, and the extra collectibles add some depth and extra reward. Finally, who doesn't love a sassy cat for a companion? I really enjoy this game and recommend it to anyone who likes cozy games.

Heard about this game through social media and was intrigued by the creator's story. I opened a steam account just to be able to play this title and ended up loving the Steam platform so much that I got the Steam Deck. I started playing Potions on my macbook air and it ran with no issues. I enjoyed it even more on the Steam Deck. Relaxing to play with an engaging story. I liked the openness of it but appreciated that some things needed to be competed first before being able to move ahead. Reminded me a little of earlier Zelda titles in that way. Would have liked more potion recipes rather than a trial an error approach; I did not like wasting resources and ended up looking up recipes online. Surprisingly original and fun game!

A fun, cute game! The combinations were fun to work out and not always resorting to combat made for some clever parts of the game.

This has been a great game to play with my kids. We read the story together, brew new potions, and figure out where to go next. Sometimes I'll explain to them "oh, that's a Zelda reference... that's a Kiki's Delivery Service reference... that's a Calvin and Hobbes reference... that's from ancient mythology", so there's lots to talk about. Fun mix of gameplay and storytime.

It's a cute game. Manage your expectations: qualitywise, it's about on par with a long flash browser game from back in the day, aimed at 12 year olds. Which is absolutely fine! I'm a 40+ year old guy and rather enjoyed it :) But understand up front that that's what you're getting. The music is nice and varied enough to not get tiresome. The art is cute if limited and not always fitting. Expect about 10 to 15 hours from start to finish. Get this game if you like supporting truly independent developers and want something simple and cozy to spend some idle time at! Don't get this if you're wanting something a bit more complex and engaging or are a completionist who doesn't enjoy massive amounts of trial and error (Sometimes there are patterns, sometimes there seems to be not. Sometimes you're just throwing every random potion type at an enemy to see how it responds. There are no real hints, there is no real guidance beyond the mostly straightforward style of play). The potion crafting system is simple but functional. There are over a hundred potions you can craft. Aaaaaand most of them are functionally the same. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but inventory management allows you to only equip so many potions types at once and you can't change what's equipped without going to specific areas which allow you to access the rest of your supply. There are a great many different types of ingredients you can collect for your potions! ...but many of them require you to use other specific types of potions to get a creature to drop the ingredient for you. Sometimes, this is fine. Often, it's just not worth it (or wasn't to me). I found myself mostly just collecting whatever I could find lying around or whatever I could easily convince mobs to drop and made it through the majority of the game using only the commonly available supplies with very few exceptions. The majority of characters you'll meet are straight out of other stories/mythologies across multiple cultures. If that's the kind of thing which strikes you as uninspired or lazy, you might not enjoy this one much. Personally, I think it's fine. Remembering that this game was made with the younger crowd in mind, it's completely fitting for almost everything to be a reference to something they've heard of or might be interested in. Final say: Give it a try. Maybe it's your cup of tea, maybe it isn't. If you don't enjoy what you're seeing in the first hour or so...the rest is more of the same so you'll have at least gotten that part sorted fairly quickly :D
