I have recently bought the alpha of a game named Stonehearth. I first discovered Stonehearth through GGSP and they seemed to give it positive reviews. I downloaded it and within minutes was already loving the simple design and graphics with such calm and relaxing gameplay. Being an alpha game means there are bugs abound. In fact, there was a game-breaking bug every few hours or so. Sometimes buildings would never finish or hearthlings' brains would simply seem to fail them. But apart from these things the game is so much fun. It has many features for an alpha game such as farming, building, fighting, trading, crafting, shepherding, mining, designing and hunting. *takes a breath*. It has been in alpha for a very long time so people are becoming worried that it may be given up on. I hope this won't be the case. They have such a brilliant game here and not being able to directly control your hearthlings but being able to give them jobs that they put into their own schedule is a great concept. I love this game and will continue to play more.
My final verdict is 8/10. This is an Alpha score so it will change when the full game is out.
And that does it for my first real review! It was more of a practice, as you may have noticed, there were no categories. I'll improve this in the future but for now I'm glad with getting it done. Thanks for reading my post, have fun and keep on gaming!
