DeVuego LATAM

Gaucho and the Grassland is a lovely little farming sim that is just the right level of accessibility and cosiness to chill for a few hours at a time. Though the game isn’t never-ending, there’s a fair amount to unlock and discover in it, and it’s not always obvious what you need to do, therefore encouraging a fair share of curiosity, and ultimately, an excuse for exploring.

There are eight chapters in all. Game duration is subjective, but note that to get the platinum, two trophies require that you complete them in one playthrough without missing any without starting again. You can’t level select, so you may end up using a walkthrough. While I enjoyed the game, I won’t be going back for the platinum just yet as I need a break.

Available on multiple platforms, Cris Tales is worth seeking out on any device you decide to go for. In terms of presentation, it’s impressive but will translate just as well on the Switch as it would on the PC. You don’t need ray tracing to create a believable fantasy world where you can forget about all those grumpy so and sos in the real world and indulge in a spot of time manipulation where hanging out with a frog in a top hat is just a regular day. Just keep out of sight of the Time Empress until you’re really ready.
