APICO is a very good simulation game where you take care of the hives and bees. With some cutes pixels graphics and a chill ambiant, I recommend it!!! 💗🐝💗

Before buying Apico I tried to look up reviews and gameplay online to see if I'd enjoy the play style, but it's really hard to find much content on this game. Whilst that was sort of a red flag to me, I downloaded it anyway. Apico is the definition of cosy game (to me at least!), and is a unique perspective on standard farming sims. Time passes in the game, but there are NO time constraints. Your character doesn't need to sleep, there's no combat, things dont expire in time, you can really just play at your own pace. I've spent multiple in game days rearranging my house and bee area with no repercussions, whereas similar farming games can somewhat penalise you for 'wasting' this much time and neglecting other aspects of the game. There are so many different machines you'll have running at once, and I did find this overwhelming at first as it seemed impossible to keep up with everything, but the beauty of it is that you don't have to keep up. Machines can sit completed for as long as you need, there's no reason to rush and rush to keep things running constantly. There's A LOT to learn in this game, but the quest system works perfectly for teaching you all of the core mechanics and how to use all of the machines. There are plenty of quality of life features that are much appreciated - the menu system is unique and perfectly executed, and small things like when a tool breaks, if you have another of the same tool in your inventory it will automatically switch to your hand slot so you can just continue using it, both great examples of how smooth and enjoyable this game is to navigate. Apico is a cute little bee saving simulator that truly does feel relaxing to play. 10/10, definitely recommend!

I liked this game enough to 100% it. Have a new found interest in beekeeping, cool mechanics, cozy graphics. Addicting to manage bees. Just a good time all round

I am not even remotely finished with the game but I am absolutely in love with it, there is so much more content than I expected. The art style is so adorable and so much of the game is so well put together and thought out, you can tell a lot of love was put into it. I will definitely say, it is a little more complicated than you may expect going into it, so I would definitely recommend trying out the demo first to see if it is something you would be interested in. I wasn't even sure at first because there is a LOT to learn but once I picked most of the basic mechanics up I became obsessed. Also, one of my favorite parts of the game are the accessibility options. I am disabled and have significant hand pain, and it is so nice having accessibility options that allow me to still play the game without disabling achievements or taking away from the experience at all. Just the ability to have machines run automatically when the cursor is over it instead of having to drag back and forth, something that would cause substantial pain to my hands and wrists, makes the difference between being able to actually play or not for me. I heavily appreciate the thought put into that. Overall, definitely a recommend, I will probably be playing 100+ hours of it to get the perfection

Pros: + A solid amount of player freedom + Intuitive light automation mechanics + Appealing visuals + Surprisingly fun bee-breeding system + There's simply nothing like it Cons: -Very clunky UI -Can be overwhelmingly monotone (lots of blue-green) -NPCs perhaps not as engaging as, say, a stardew-style game
