    As far as Indie Games are concerned this one is one of my most favorite ones, I've played so far in 2022. The story is very dark and mysterious but also has its comical moments. The 2D environments are colorful, beautiful, imaginative. The puzzle elements are great, and the music is fantastic. Some enemies are tricky and so it doesn't become a redundant hack and slash if you are to survive this harsh post-apocalyptic world. If I had to recommend a Zelda Link to the past type of game to play now, this would be it. GET IT NOW!

    Beautiful cover art. I just beat this one a few weeks ago. Charming little game, but can get pretty heavy on dialogue

    Amazing game, but it does occassionally crash, which is very frustrating if you haven't saved in a while.

    Been waiting on this for a while. Eastward is an incredible game to fill the 2D Zelda itch I've had for a while. The games fun, story's cute, and the art and music are excellent. The physical edition of the game is nothing special but it's still worth having in your collection. Overall excellent purchase. 100% worthwhile.

    Fun action adventure game. A "road trip" adventure across a dying world to unravel its mysteries. Old school JRPG mini game Earth Born is seriously a game inside the game. Fans of Zelda style and Earthbound aethestics need to check it out.

    Good indie game. Similar to earthbound in style but more like a watered down zelda in gameplay. Ambitious but doesn’t quite nail it. If you like indie games or snes games you’ll probably like it

    Great game but grows a little long in the tooth by the end, it overstays its welcome by a few hours, but the very end picks things back up in an exciting way. If you can get through the longer/weirder chapters then it's certainly worth it!
