![]() I doubt any other game will grab me like Wildermyth has or make me feel all the feels quite the same way. As insane as it sounds, this may be my game of the year. And I know I have hundreds more hours of adventuring to complete. It’s rare that I come across a game that doesn’t fall short in anything it set out to do, and Wildermyth does achieve everything it set out to do. I've played with dozens of characters, no two the same. Wildermyth follows heroes over their whole careers, from their pitchfork days to their powerful primes, and into old age and memory. There’s a lot of thought that went into Wildermyth, and you can feel the love and effort that went into making each part of the game. ![]() After three campaigns and 30+ hours of gameplay, I'm still learning new strategies, discovering new events, and facing new enemies. Wildermyth was released on June 15 on Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. I've felt incredible highs when luck turns my way, and I've felt dreadful lows when an unlucky event maims a key character. I've felt incredible relief landing a winning blow with my last standing character when failure seemed all but certain. I've faced moral dilemmas when forced to sacrifice a prized veteran to win a seemly impossible match. I never would've imagined that I'd feel such attachment to procedurally-generated characters, but the combination of leveling up, gearing up, and gradually evolving your character through random events creates a brilliant uniqueness for each character, one that feels much deeper than it has any right to. ![]() I never would've imagined that I'd feel such attachment to procedurally-generated characters, but One of the best games I've played all year.
