Working on a farm has the quality of requiring you to put down roots in most cases. Developers from the independent German studio VoodooDuck, however, decided to prove that you can just as well run your own farm and travel the world at the same time. Thus was born the idea for a farming adventure game titled Collector's Cove.

Gameplay

In Collector's Cove, events are viewed from a bird's eye view. During the gameplay , we take on the role of a character who runs a farm... aboard a ship pulled by her large animal friend. Traversing the archipelago located in the vast ocean, we discover more islands and climate zones, each boasting a unique flora.

We can learn about and collect the plants growing on each piece of land, completing the Collector's Compendium and planting them in our own plots after returning on board. In addition, during the game we catch fish, among which there is no shortage of rare specimens.

NextGen Player: 8 / 10 by Paul Hunter

Collector’s Cove is a standout cozy adventure from a small indie team that delivers well above its size. The progression is satisfying, the world is warm and colourful, the story is cute and charming, and I found something new worth chasing in every session. At $19.99, and offering 25-30 hours of content, the value is excellent.

Cat with Monocle: 3.5 / 5

Overall, Collector’s Cove has a solid foundation and beautiful designs. With updates to expand the story depth and resources, and glitch fixes, it has the potential to evolve into a great game. It is a wonderful start for VoodooDuck.

Thumb Culture: 4 / 5

Collector’s Cove offers, an easy and comfortable grind for the player to enjoy. The upgrading of the ship can seem a little too grindy at times, more so when you need to slowly sail to each island. Control are simple with nothing to heavy to learn. Management of inventory is not as tedious as you would expect, thanks to being able to return to the ship whenever. I would definitely say it is a nice game to wind down to. That is why I am giving Collector’s Cove the Thumb Culture Gold Award. Now, back to filling up my book.
