My wife and I love playing open-world games where you can freely explore the environment (Breath of the Wild) so when our friends recommended that we try Yonder, we couldn't pass it up (it was also on clearance and we have the GCU so the price was incredible) Yonder has no combat in it. Instead, you are exploring the world as you see fit, farming, completing quests for villagers you encounter and crafting recipes. You can get pets, change your outfit and mine for materials all over the landscape. So far we are about 5 hours into the game and have come across some absolutely beautiful worlds. The lighting in the game in particular is nice, although it can get very bright from the sun (you can luckily adjust your Gamma and Bloom settings in the menu). I've read that the game gets repetitive but we have yet to hit that point. Instead, I found myself saying "one more quest" and spending hours just completing quests and trying to uncover all of the secrets of the land. If you are looking for a game that you can play and relax with, this is one for you. Imagine Breath of the Wild (which Yonder is influenced by for sure) but without the combat and you have Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles.

This game is absolutely amazing! The story is fun and easy to follow. The game play is easy going, great for relaxing evenings. You play at your own pace. The best part about this game is the face there was no fighting, you get to roam the world at anytime during the day and just enjoy collecting materials, completing quests and tending to few farms. Defiantly recommend if you love farming, exploring, easy going games.

This game is not for everyone. Slow paced, no combat, just doing small quests for the inhabitants of the game world. A pretty game with great light and shadow effects. Nice music and sound. Easy to control. If you like games like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley you'll probably enjoy this.

The style of the game is very cute, which suits the atmosphere perfectly. It's relaxing in many ways. I do wish there were more ways to move around the map. There isn't really a sense of urgency. Nor is there any combat in this game. It's definitely a game where you can kick back, relax, and just explore a little, colorful world.

In my opinion this game is an excellent mix of Breath of the wild and almost any harvest moon type game. The exploration feels like Breath of the wild, but without the combat. The farm system is pretty good, it’s not as straight forward as harvest moon, but it is a fun system nonetheless. On a side note, there is literally no combat.
