Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is a somber and peaceful game. Its gorgeous visuals, astonishing environments and the fun core mechanics of discovery make for a joyful experience. However, despite the polish and the variety of things to do, the game lacks finesse in its storytelling and personality in its characters. This keeps Yonder from being an incredible game, but it's still a great one. The PS4 version of this game was played for the purpose of this review.

While an open world adventure game with no combat is not something I’d generally jive with, I found myself enthralled with Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. It does a fantastic job of making a captivating atmosphere that’s both fun to explore and filled with things to do. There are frame rate issues and the lack of diversity among quests is a bit disappointing, but the jaw dropping visuals and superb audio design left me pining for more. While it certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, those looking for a laidback trip through a stunning world, look no further.

Overall, Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is a charming and visually pleasing experience that will remind you immediately of 3D Legend of Zelda titles, mainly The Wind Waker, in how the towns, island, and citizens are portrayed. The questing and story progression is okay, but it may become boring and tedious for some looking for more of an action oriented affair. The side activities alone, as well as with the crafting and farm management are what many will have to enjoy to get the most out of Yonder. Otherwise, if you are looking for something deeper, this may be a rather boring expedition...

There are enough small grievances I have with the game that hold it back from being truly great, but the tone and setting are so charming that it’s hard to be too mad at it. If you want to do some peaceful meandering during your commute, the Switch version is easy to recommend.

Video games are the preferred form of escape from the real world for many people, myself included. The beauty of this entertainment medium is that it can come in such vastly different forms. If you have some pent up aggression, you can blow off some steam in a fighting game like Street Fighter or lose yourself in a realistic military shooter like Call of Duty. If you want to exercise your mind, you can solve numerous puzzles like those found in The Talos Principle. If you want to live out a...

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is developer Prideful Sloth’s take on the adventure/exploration genre. The game’s vast open-world environment gives players the autonomy to do anything and explore the world at their own pace. However, the game does not have a combat system, which may be a deal b
