Everything the player does from harvesting resources, to crafting objects, to killing enemies, has a positive impact on their XP used to advance levels. The leveling system in the game consists of a large grid of unlockable perks, which also may unlock new tools or craftable objects. With resources that respawn at a very high rate, the player will find themselves able to harvest massive amounts for crafting and leveling, eventually leading to automated systems to collect resources and produce other products and goods. In Forager, the player progresses by obtaining resources that spawn throughout the world, crafting new buildings, objects, and tools, solving puzzles, and collecting money to buy new lands to explore and utilize.įorager combines mechanics commonly seen in idle games with those of an adventure or exploration game.

This turns the game into a grindy chore after a while, as well as horrendously repetitive. Be it taking care of your ridiculously small health and hunger gauges or gathering rare materials, but at the same time, none of them are complex or overly entertaining. With that being said, the game quickly becomes a bit overwhelming with the amount of tasks you need to take care of. The game knows how to keep you motivated, as everything you do in it rewards you with items and experience points.Įach new level-up perk grants you with a new item to research and most new islands feature something new for you to fool around with. You can level up and unlock new abilities, you can earn some cosmetic accessories by completing in-game achievements, and you can partake in a bigger sidequest regarding completing the collection of a totally empty museum. I needed food, don’t judge me.īesides increasing your overall play area, there’s not a lot else than can be described as an end goal in Forager.
