I absolutely love Mudborne! I want to start by saying that I love Apico and was looking forward to the release of this game. It does not disappoint! While Apico is more focused on the collectathon aspect, Mudborne is more puzzle-based. For example, you want to use specific frogs to unlock parts of the world to move the story forward. The trick is that the specific frogs needed are created by altering the genetics of their offspring using mushroom science. The devs hit it out of the park again!

I have been hunting for a game that has interesting breeding/genetic mechanics and this game finally nails it for me. The way the systems are layered and so well designed- you can tell how much effort was put into refining things. This game creates little layered genetic puzzles for you to solve, each with increasing complexity, and mystery and lore to find that are genuinely unique and keep you playing for more. The game is surprisingly large, and I mean, look at it. It's ridiculously adorable. Plus the dev is just amazing in general. 10/10, honestly didn't know I needed this game but holy cow am I glad I went for it.

This review is for people on the fence while it is still on sale. I will write more later. I only have 7.4 hours in, and it feels like I have scratched the surface. An excellent game. [*]-Apico had clear Forestry inspiration, but Mudborne is its own thing. It has all the same genetic fun while bringing a unique system to the table. [*]-You can press space to ribbit, and this will attract wild frogs for you to catch. [*]-There is a pokedex-like page for the frogs, which helps you find variants and gives you really cute images of your frog species in their natural environment (an environment which might be a pile of other sleepy, tiny frogs). [*]-The frogs can be so angry or chill that they change the temperature--a clever way of handling climate! [*]-Everything is powered by Croakwork machines--the loudness of your baby frog ribbits. [*]-You can breed dapper frogs. Liked Apico or the Forestry mod? Then get it, case closed. Do you not like Apico/Forestry? Then this does bring some changes that can win you over. The genetic system has moved to a number system, allowing for much more flexibility, and you never have to 'start at 0' with things. You can keep multiple 'bases' to speed up breeding, but usually you can get what you need in two or three generations...IF you like math puzzles. The math is not super complex, you have a preview before any point of no return with hatching eggs, and there is a predictor that helps you with multiple generations of planning (to make sure it works like it does in your head!). So far, there are no random mutations to wait around for--you have specific number goals and hints are scattered throughout the game if you have trouble finding what numbers make new species. This may change as I play more, but for now it is very straightforward. I can find things without resorting to going to a wiki and finding that Extra Rare Frog 1 and Super Common Frog 2 have a 1% chance of making a legendary secret species or something. I still need to gather a bunch of mushrooms and plan things out to get the perfect set of numbers--and sometimes need to plan out several generations in a row!--so the effort still feels rewarded. It is more of an 'active' breeding system than past games. Less waiting, less RNG, more gameplay. To be continued, maybe!

You can press space to ribbit and nearby frogs will ribbit back. Not sure what else the game does but definitely worth a try if that's your thing.

They took Apico - already a fantastic top down management game - and added lore, puzzles, a dream world, and frogs. This game is ribbiting.
