Cute, fun, and quite literally fetching; Wytchwood blends all of its elements together wonderfully, although there is little reason to play more once you conclude the 10–12 hours’ worth of story.
"Wytchwood" is a single-player, open-world fantasy game with a sensational atmosphere, delightful graphics, and good music. As the old witch of the woods, you will explore an expressive land of gothic fables, gathering and crafting bizarre ingredients, brewing enchantments, and passing twisted judgement on characters and creatures. The game features plenty of humor, lots of grinding, and a lovingly rendered storybook art style, making for a wholesome and intriguing story.

Wytchwood Review (PS5) – Enchantment

90%Wytchwood Review
Wytchwood is a crafting game, through and through — and a good one. It smartly puts its focus purely on the act of gathering materials to create a wide range of objects, with little else to distract from the core crafting mechanic. It’s backed up by a great soundtrack and a reasonably well-told but ultimately forgettable tale as you trawl through the various areas searching for ingredients. Trying to locate specific items can at times feel exhausting and drags down the pacing of the game, and the gorgeous visuals are unfortunately hampered by a slight frame rate jitter. Ultimately though, Wytchwood is a relaxing and addictive jaunt into the world of crafting.
