A funny and cheerful game that will improve your mood. It has only one minus - unfortunately it is very short. It took 2.7 hours to get all the achievements. 9/10.
[quote=prayage] The review consists not only of a look at the game played, but also of personal experience and opinion. [/quote] [code] This is just the author's opinion. The game has been completed with 100% achievements. [/code] [h1] Pilgrims a short but very comfortable game! [/h1] If you want to spend some time comfortably and relaxingly, but not for too long and without wasting your energy on solving any puzzles, then this game is 100% suitable! [h2] Generally: [/h2] Simple and clear gameplay. A small map with different locations where there are various characters or objects that you can interact with.A fun way to use a character as a playing card. The corners of the card show their main skills! I'd also like to point out that you can only complete the game by recruiting all the companions (partners) along the way. This makes for very interesting gameplay! As you progress through the game, you'll discover numerous items that can be obtained by combining other items, such as cooking potatoes over a fire. It's funny to watch the characters' conversational style; it's as if they're simply saying whatever comes to mind, creating nonsense, but it's very funny! [h2] I will highlight the main advantages: [/h2] - [b]Variability[/b]. I really enjoyed it and was inspired by the many ways this game offers to acquire companions, such as using coins or cooked fish. Or the many ways to get a fishing rod. - [b]Easy and funny achievements[/b]. Surprisingly, we get the story achievements without any problems, but in addition, we can replay the game several times and get various funny achievements, from drinking a lot of bottles of alcohol or getting a bear drunk?! - [b]Replayability[/b]. I liked that the game isn't just a one-time playthrough. You can replay it as many times as you like. Or you can replay it to get the remaining achievements. [h2]Let me sum it up...[/h2] The game is simple, has a nice style, good advantages, is short and comfortable. [b] Sometimes games like this are missing, which is why this game deserves a damn 10 out of 10! [/b] Yes, I'll note that the game's stylization is very pleasing to the eye. As a player who loves the style of the old era, I really enjoyed it. [h1] I recommend! [/h1]
Pilgrims carries the undeniable artistic soul of Amanita Design, delivering the same whimsical magic seen in Machinarium and Botanicula, but it is fleeting to a fault. Even with tea breaks and casual distractions, you’ll likely hit the credits in 40–50 minutes; completing every single achievement won’t take more than 3.5 hours at a snail's pace. It is the kind of experience you could easily 100% and refund within the 2-hour window, and the only reason I haven't done so is out of pure respect for the studio's legacy. Honestly, don't pay more than $2 for this—consider it a small tip to the developers for old times' sake, because as a "game," it simply doesn't offer enough content to justify a higher price. It’s a charming bite-sized snack, but unfortunately, it’s over before you can even finish your first cup of coffee Also, don't worry about the language options at all, as they only apply to the main menu and UI; the game itself features zero voiced dialogue, relying entirely on universal animations and gibberish sounds I'm begrudgingly marking this as positive only because Steam doesn't offer a 'neutral' option, but consider this a very cautious recommendation driven by nostalgia rather than value
