I think Yonder does enough to offset that feeling for me, given that most materials can be purchased close to quest givers and many of the quests themselves don’t actually need to be completed to progress the story. That said, even some of the biggest franchises in the world like Assassins Creed end up repeating the same couple of tasks ad nauseum, not to mention scattering a ridiculous amount of collectibles around. SDP: I think it’s getting harder and harder for games to provide true diversity in tasks, especially games that aren’t made on a huge budget. I was quite a fan of the open, less hand-holdy approach, but the repetitive mission structure grew tiresome. That began to fade somewhat as the game progressed as I saw repeated use of the same assets and the waves of (not particularly exciting) fetch quests began. I was immediately struck by how gorgeous the game looked and upon stepping out onto the green plains a second wave of awe hit me. Paul James: To say Yonder is aesthetically pleasing is a massive understatement. “To say Yonder is aesthetically pleasing is a massive understatement.” To the credit of Prideful Sloth however, I think what they’ve managed to achieve is something that takes elements of many familiar franchises and packages it in such a way that Yonder feels like a fantastic palate cleanser, something that really let me relax in a way that few AAA titles do these days.
Stephen del Prado: I don’t know about you Paul, but the opening section of Yonder put me very much in the mind of The Legend of Zelda and Oceanhorn. Paul and I decided to compare notes on our time spent enjoying this unique experience in the form of yet another Player2 Co-op Review! Without a combat system of any kind and no player death, it’s possible to journey through Yonder at a very relaxed pace, soaking up the pleasant atmosphere of the world whilst completing tasks for the various inhabitants of the many small towns that dot the map.
