    This game is so adorable! You play as wake, a young boy who runs away from home and he learns to control a bunch of very cute Spritelings... did I already said they are cute? It even did hurt to see them dying at first, later on, you get used to it, but ahh they are just so so cute! This game plays a lot like the Pikmin games, it is a puzzle adventure game most of all and you try to save this mysterious hidden realm from the evil that is present during the night.

    I have been looking out for this game for months. It started with seeing screenshots of this beautiful-looking game which already made me instantly interested in the game, but the real hype for me started when I learned that it would have this Pikmin-style gameplay. I wish there were so much more games with this mechanism because I love it and you don't see it that often. Makes me wonder if it is hard to program such a game?

    The game didn't disappoint at all, it was amazing and sometimes challenging. I played this game with breaks in between to be able to come back and find the solution I was stuck on before. The puzzles never were too hard, but you have to think outside the box from time to time. There is an official discord server where there are enough people to help you out in the case someone getting really stuck on a puzzle.

    There are puzzles for which it needs to be night, a frequently requested feature and the developers are thinking about adding it is a feature that you can push forward the time to nighttime. This is the only negative thing I encountered in the game, waiting till it is nighttime. And when you're just waiting on that it feels like it takes forever, while being busy with normal tasks the days in-game fly by, and sometimes you don't have enough time. So I hope the developers will add this feature in a later update.

    None of the achievements are missable, which always is a blessing when developers think about that. Most of the achievements are straightforward, completing the main story, completing side quests, getting all the upgrades, stuff like that. The most challenging one might be to find all the entries for the "Book", all other items will be marked on your map later on in the game, but those won't. So keep an eye out for them during your playthrough. At this moment I couldn't find a guide for them, and I didn't keep track of them so aren't able to write it myself, but I hope someone will and make a guide where they list them all so you can easily find the missing one. This achievement is still very doable, so don't worry too much about it and just keep an eye out.

    This game was amazing and I'm sad I completed the game. I hope "Moonlight Kids" will keep making such adorable and unique games, looking forward to their work in the future.

    I hope you found my review useful. If you don't mind helping me out, consider following my curator page, thank you! https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33025671-Missi-the-Ac...
