User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Summary: a very qualified "yes". If you're patient, and really love nature, I recommend it. If you aren't patient, then it might not be for you. This game is, visually, really striking. It takes obvious inspiration from BotW. I love its concept, and the difficulty customization; you can really make your own experience. Play is appealing and fun whether you are solo or online. However, there are some... issues, and as the developers state, the game should be "treated as a finished product". What you get is what you get. The thing is, the game craves to be expanded on and explored even further. I want everyone to know about it and play it. I want a community that thrives just like a garden. I want user-made content for new plants, clothes, and recipes. But it seems like they've largely abandoned this game, outside of the occasional bug squash, and have offered no support for modding. Because of this, few attempts have been made. The game must be enjoyed DESPITE the chronically small inventory size, limited crafting, odd stacking choices, and strange encounter system. Outside of 1 mod that allows for unlimited inventory (which wouldn't be fun either), there's genuinely nothing you can do about the inventory problems, except hope you know what basket you stored what item in. (Or mark up your map.) They said they were "looking into it" in 2023, but as I said, they seem to have put it down. I hope I'm wrong about that. I see a lot of potential here, and the world needs more games like this.

Very Niche, recommended with a caveat. Wildmender is, a type of farming sim at its core. You are tasked with 'mending' the desert space. It's a large space that initially has to be traversed on foot which is extremely slow. You can only work after the sun goes down. Combat is accomplished by only a mirror that you use to defeat enemies and collect memory crystals. As the title says, this is a very niche game however. I said it's a farm sim and that is largely what you have to accomplish. You have to plant grasses, trees and flowers in an attempt to extend the fertile land in the desert and this can be extremely time consuming until you're able to upgrade your spring enough to create channels to direct water around your base. Plants will have to be watered daily and can be damaged by dust devils and tumbleweeds which cross the desert during the day. They will not automatically recover their health so you have to create health potions not only for yourself, but for your plants if they become heavily damaged. I do enjoy playing Wildmender but can't do so for any extended period of time. The reason is that many of the aspects of the game seem to me to be quite heavily geared towards a multiplayer element. There are invasions of your base area by the main enemy of the game and while they're not very numerous, as your only opportunity to travel the desert is at night, it's frustrating when any of this time is taken up by an invasion, for which you are given more than 12 hours notice so you don't want to risk leaving your base once the alert is active. You will run out of water and/or starve very quickly as time passes at night and even moreso in certain areas making reaching some of the key areas of the game feel impossible to reach. There's also a toxin on the loose which, if it infects you, will slowly tick your health down at a relatively rapid rate and the only way to cure the toxin is by having special items that you craft for consumption or via a small item that one of the gods creates.. This is a game for people who are willing to and have the time to really dedicate to chipping away at at solution. The game can't be completed quickly, particularly if you're playing on your own. As you have to explore to complete the story and protect your base, grow your plants alone, rather than shifting duties with friends, of which you can play with up to 9 (10 is the player limit). Things are explained to you only as you reach certain story milestones, so some exploration can be fatal if you haven't reached the part of the story which explains what you're about to run into. Most of the dangers are environmental as the enemies only pose a danger to you during an invasion or at particular places where you retrieve shards. If you enjoy the farming sim, relaxed gameplay and visual representations for your hardwork and progress, this will be a perfect game for you. There's no pressure to complete certain aspect of the game within a specific period and eventually a fast travel system is unlocked, but getting there can be slow. Enjoyable, but still does need some tweaking to the mechanics for single players or different game modes for people who truly do want to just have a calm and no stress experience exploring and growing.

An exceptional game. There's a great balance between farming, action and discovery. Farming is quite unique - you can plant anywhere, as long as you can provide water. Start with one tiny water source and create rivers by the end of the game. You don't need to grow much to provide for yourself, so you can do very little or knock yourself out creating beautiful landscapes. And, most importantly, you can hug frogs! How wholesome is that?

The best "at your own pace" game I've played. If you want to relax, its for you. If you want survival, you can play it hard and fast. If you just want to make a pretty garden, you've got that. Even the story is really deep and moving. I love this game and will always recommend.

Love it when negative reviews that barely played the game and complain about issues that get resolved further down the line don't allow comments. Travel gets a lot easier later on with flying, as well as the tool you get to dash later on. Food is also not a huge concern later on as long as you plant some stuff to eat back home and after you learn which plants to dig around while you're out and about. The game isn't a hardcore survival game, and frankly the combat is average to above average for a survival game (granted the bar is pretty low for survival crafting games but eh) If you like terraforming games where you change the entire game world throughout the course of the game I can highly recommend this. Sidenote, people really need to stop using the BOTW comparison on any openworld game that allows you to climb on any terrain and also includes some form of flying/gliding. It's about as helpful people describing every game with farming in it that's come out after 2016 as "It's like Stardew Valley but..."
