Aka is a great game that tries to take on a very mature theme. It does so with tact and cute graphics, but a far too open world can feel daunting at some places.
"Aka" is a single-player, open-world fantasy game with a deep, emotional story and engaging gameplay. The farming system is inspired by permaculture, and players can craft various items for quest-solving or decorative purposes. Relax in hot springs, watch clouds, or take a nap on a giant Capybara while meeting various characters and completing narrative quests. The game also features mini-games and stunning visuals with a delightful soundtrack. However, be prepared for some grinding.

In Aka, you get to be a cute hero in a pretty landscape, taking naps and strolling through trees. So dreamy! It’s just a shame the game has launched with this many bugs. The frequent stalling of progression and basic tasks is a little wearisome and players need a little more paw-holding to grasp the objectives. At this stage we’d recommend waiting for a few more patches, then playing the game in all its fluffy glory. That way, you get to soak up a red panda’s life of luxury. Who wouldn’t want that?
