THIS IS SUCH A GOOD GAME!!! Why's it having so many BAD REVIEWS??!!?? - The design and artwork is AMAZING! - The levels are fun, mechanics are interesting.. we get to learn them in unique ways too ( Ex: Sandrupe potcrab area teaches you how to hit the bombs or stones ) - The in game music just feels so good to my ears lol - The bosses are interesting - We get new enemies in each zone so they are unpredictable - The lore is crazy good (it doesn't make sense but it also does) - I even liked monkollywood because it was a goofy break before things got serious again The only thing I didn't like were those weird sexual jokes o_o Sure we don't get to go back to an area we've cleared and John doesn't talk much but... but these don't hurt so much to give this a bad review !

Eastward is a gorgeous game with a lot of heart. The pixel art is stunning, and the world it creates feels alive, full of quirky details and unique characters. The story starts off strong, and there are moments of real emotional depth, but it does slow down at times, leaving you wishing things would pick up a bit more. The gameplay itself is a mix of exploration, puzzles, and combat, and while it’s fun, it can get repetitive after a while. Despite a few pacing issues, the overall vibe of the game—its world, music, and charm—keeps you hooked. It’s definitely worth playing if you enjoy a beautiful, laid-back adventure.

A very fun and wholesome pan hitting cute pixel game. There's cooking, little side quests, a whole side game you can play and items that can change some events for the better. It's even got humour and the story is great as well. Great indie gem! I recommend! I am editing this review to note that this is a very story heavy game so if you don't like a bunch of little dialogues to read this is not for you! Stop hating on such a lovely game T_T

I wish Steam could give a neutral rating because this game is really a mixed bag. I'll try to be fair and give both the negative and positive. The main problem is a big one, but afterwards I'll show what I did like. Main problem --------------- Everything is held back by a horrendous pacing issue. Someone needs to keep the narrative designer in check because the man is a maniac. They've added the functionality to fast forward through conversations/cut scenes and at a certain point I made the conscious decision to keep that button pressed during 90% of the dialogue. I'm sad to say that even though I skipped all of that dialogue, I was still perfectly able to follow the story. If I were to distill the pacing into a Gen Z sentence, it would be a resounding "Bro's yapping". The absurdity was raised to another level when, in the penultimate chapter of the story, I was still asked to play mailman and deliver letters to 3 random people in town. When I'm asked in a game where it feels like the length has been stretched artificially, to repeat certain tasks over and over again...well, it feels like a slap in the face. The absolute audacity to force me to do errands after I've been skipping 20min of dialogue. It shows a total lack of respect regarding my time. So...why did I finish it? ------------------------ The artwork is absolutely exceptional. I've never seen pixel art as atmospheric and beautiful as in this game. Level; character and boss design were next-level. Even though the combat lacked diversity and I found it overall to be easy, I enjoyed solving the puzzles and I applaud the creativity shown during the 'dungeons' in the final chapters. It's just a shame that only 10% of players will experience it... In the end I found the story to be pretty ok, but it's held back by the pacing. Without the fast forward button, I would've never had the patience to finish this. The way they explain things in the end, could've been resolved better. They really had to trim the fat and I hope they'll learn from this mistake for their next game. That's why I still recommend this game. Because the talent in artistry and game design is clearly visible here and I want them to get enough funds to learn from this and make an exceptional game next.

I do recommend this game after years forgetting to buy and play the game, but here some downsides: - the dialog is just way too long, i feel like they dragged it out, i appreciate their attempt to put characters personality into dialog but i'd like to see more effective dialog - story is a bit too nonsensical, so many things left unexplained, maybe for the sequel to flourish with - a lot of fetch quests, for most of them could be justify by the story, but still if you hate to see it, they will be there
