There’s lots to learn about running a legitimate business through Weedcraft Inc.’s gameplay. Couple that with the two protagonists’ various circumstances which would absolutely prohibit them from breaking into a more reputable industry and you can start to understand how the narrative of this game falls into place. This isn’t a game which cracks easy jokes about weed culture; it doesn’t underestimate the finesse involved in the craft; but it also doesn’t shy away from criticising the shadier aspects of the industry either.

The business and economical side of Weedcraft Inc can be engaging; mostly, this is when mulling over all your strains. But the game’s attempts to be political often don’t land as intended – for example its coffee shop named “Covfefe” is merely eye roll-inducing. For those that eke fun out of balancing profits against supply and demand and don’t mind a bit of repetitive click-work, then Weedcraft Inc may well be engaging enough. But for everyone else, its divisive subject matter is mostly wasted on dull gameplay mechanics, so if you were hoping for an engaging and edgy management sim, you’re st...

Devolver Digital is one of my favorite publishers of all time. After a fantastic outing in 2018, I was excited to see what the company had in stock for 2019. It started off pretty well with the port of Downwell for the Switch and the release of the spectacular Ape Out, one of my favorite games of 2019 so far. Their follow-up? A game about selling weed. Only you Devolver, only you…
