Really like the style, the worls and the vibe of this game, unfortunately, the story didn't keep me interested enough to finish it.

Def has its highs and lows.

How does this compare to Outbound? I tried the Outbound demo and didn't like it. Wasn't enough customization to make it feel like my own camper van. And not enough to do to just chill

This game looks like it might be fun but I have a suspicion I'd get bored with it and quickly lose interest. A lot of the posts in here seem to back that up. Anybody really enjoy this one or is it kind of just widely regarded as "meh"?

Im enjoying it so far. There's enough to keep my interest and its not that long. I also nabbed it for free somewhere so zero complaints from me.

Just 100%'d Caravan Sandwitch and I have a few hours in Outbound. It's definitely not a crafty/survival type of game like outbound. Slightly metroidvania with how you unlock abilities through the game and there's the slightest bit of backtracking to use them. Caravan is more or less a comfy story game without most of the trappings of modern open world games.

Vibe reminds me of Sable which I really enjoyed a few years back. What's the gameplay like?

Its a decent account of fetch quests plus small bits of crafting and platforming. The map is just big enough to enjoy driving around & the platforming well done. The story is probably 6.5/10. Its a chill game and i think some people miss that point.

I just finished the game a week ago and it was a nice experience. The story and the characters were completely forgettable and uninteresting but the art style and exploration vibe were great. I too 100% it and the game didn't overstay its welcome. Just a nice casual exploration.

This week I started Tchia which has similar exploration feeling in New Caledonia but lots of Ubisoft style collectables and minigames. So far so good.

$0 is a hard price to argue with.

Tchia was a super sweet game imo, definitely more “adventure” than Caravan Sandwitch which helped it through some of the slower chunks that big world games tend to have.
