  • The game has a strong and immersive dark atmosphere with well-done visuals and sound design, creating a tense survival experience.
  • The crafting system and resource gathering minigames add depth and engagement to gameplay, rewarding exploration and progression.
  • The camp upgrade and inventory management mechanics, including fast travel between lamps, provide convenience and strategic planning.
  • The game suffers from a lack of enemy variety, repetitive fetch quests, slow-paced and sometimes clunky combat, and an underwhelming ending.
  • There are numerous bugs, technical issues, and design flaws such as rigid controls, lack of keybindings, no manual save option, and frustrating hunger mechanics.
  • Misleading promotional material created false expectations about caravan/group-based gameplay and narrative depth, which the game does not deliver.

  • gameplay

    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 65% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a solid and engaging survival loop focused on solo progression, resource gathering, and managing basic needs, with a good balance between calm management and tense exploration. While mechanics are generally well-designed and rewarding, some players find the crafting, combat controls, and day/night cycle frustrating or repetitive, with limited variation and a punishing difficulty curve. Overall, the gameplay is enjoyable but could benefit from more depth, varied content, and better controls.

    • “The contrast between the calm caravan management and the tension of exploring the cursed forest works really well, and the core mechanics feel engaging and well thought out.”
    • “The day/night cycle is punishing, and the survival and caravan management mechanics are unforgiving but deeply rewarding.”
    • “The core gameplay loop is honestly fine, venturing out into the forest to hunt, explore and gather resources is in itself fairly compelling to anyone who's into survival games.”
    • “You can't scale or reduce the hunger mechanic at all in the game's options, it's just sink or swim, and in this case, the game sinks like a rock.”
    • “While progression pacing is good (or at least it is until midgame), the progress itself feels like not only it doesn't bring a lot of reward, but actually punishes you by making you work more for the same gameplay loop.”
    • “You can lay bear traps to lure them in, but the whole fighting mechanic feels off and very loose; you don't have much control over the direction of your bow shots.”

  • story

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The story is widely criticized for being shallow and unengaging, with quests mostly consisting of tedious fetch tasks lacking nuance, climax, or meaningful resolution. NPC interactions are minimal and largely limited to vendors or quest givers, offering little lore or character development. Additionally, the narrative feels generic and sandbox-like, with a confusing quest design that can lead to progression issues due to excessive loot and unclear requirements.

    • “Additionally, the trailers offer a story about exploring your worthiness of 'paradise' and the sacrifices you'd be willing to make for it.”
    • “I think the companions could play a larger part, do something useful in your camp or at least gather there so the story could feel a bit more interactive.”
    • “The actual main storyline is the generic 'I need to collect x of y' special item.”
    • “All of the quests in the game are incredibly boring.”
    • “There's no climax, no cinematic, no story resolution, no explanation about the protagonist... nothing.”
    • “NPCs only offer fetch quests and a little bit of lore, nothing else.”

  • atmosphere

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    71% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere in Peregrino is widely praised for its dark, immersive, and oppressive tone, effectively enhancing the survival and horror themes. Stunning visuals and careful attention to detail contribute to a compelling and immersive experience that keeps players engaged. Though the game may start abruptly, its rich atmosphere and polished design create a consistently tense and enjoyable exploration environment.

    • “Peregrino nails the dark aesthetic and creates a wonderfully oppressive atmosphere that keeps you constantly on edge.”
    • “The atmosphere, the visuals, the overall polish, it’s clear that a lot of care went into every detail.”
    • “A grim and challenging take on the survival genre with great atmosphere and sound design.”

  • grinding

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is generally seen as tedious and repetitive, with resource-gathering minigames that start off engaging but quickly become monotonous and time-consuming. The lack of an intuitive character sheet further complicates managing builds, contributing to an overall sense of grindiness and unnecessary hoarding.

    • “The resource gathering minigames get tedious fast.”
    • “Tedious and useless minigame for gathering basic resources, repeated hundreds or thousands of times.”
    • “It encourages hoarding and makes everything needlessly grindy.”

  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    57% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics deliver a polished and atmospheric experience with stunning visuals that effectively create a dark, oppressive vibe reminiscent of games like Darkwood. The attention to detail enhances the spooky, immersive environment, making it a standout aspect despite being generally average technologically. Overall, the visuals strongly support the game's mood and setting.

    • “At the end of the day it is an average experience that is being carried by the stunning visuals and atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere, the visuals, the overall polish, it’s clear that a lot of care went into every detail.”
    • “Peregrino nails the dark aesthetic and creates a wonderfully oppressive atmosphere that keeps you constantly on edge.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability was initially hampered by bugs and balance issues, but developers responded promptly with patches. However, some animation glitches and the lack of manual save options continue to frustrate certain players.

    • “The game was released very unbalanced and buggy, but developers quickly started patching, so these were just birthing pains.”
    • “The ranged forest characters have buggy and unclear movement animations when drawing a bow or aiming.”
    • “Developers who make buggy games without the option to create manual save files deserve to be punished; this thumbs down is their judgment coming soon.”
