Typical Kairosoft game.
Tricky to beat in the beginning, but we become IMBA once we get how the main mechanics really work.

What did I do with my life playing all these Kairosoft franchises (smh) :\
Enjoyable one which also makes me wanna try going through another playthrough later in case I wanna waste my life more ! =w=b

Nice refreshing experience ! ;)

Recommend for anyone looking for story game with simple puzzles, and characters with fun personality.
- Intriguing story
- Innovative Gameplay
- Unique visual
- Nice music which enhances the atmosphere, good vibe
- Puzzle integrated quite well with the lore
- Interesting likeable characters

Sit back and chill kind of game.
A Short Hike really nails the design to encourage player to explore and enjoy the environment.
Laid back environment, fun interactions with the characters, numerous aspects of the game to enjoy.
Highly recommend for everyone !

Free good quality game.
Why not ? ;)

Lovely & Relaxing little game ! <3

This game is my entry title to the Atelier series !
Have never played any Atelier game before ? This could be a good choice to be your first step ! (or Ryza if you want something closer to modern jrpgs)
I believe Sophie could be called one of the most relaxing amongst its franchises.
I have proceeded to play other Atelier games and the things written below could be read as relative to other titles. (Ryza / Firis / Rorona / Ayesha)

Pros

- Relaxing (Atmosphere / Artstyle / Music)
• Lovely story (if you care)
  
• No mechanics to force the player's progress. Just proceeds as you wish. (No time limit on main story / requests)
  
• Failures and mistakes do not punish the player's playstyle. I believe this encourages exploration & experiment which seems to be the core idea of the game.
  
• Decent Port (Not good, not bad. No need to deal with bs)

Cons

• Early part of the game is really slow and could be boring with the limited amount of things we can do
  
• The environment is decent, but I feel like it has much more potential to make it feel more alive (it's good enough though)
  
• The tutorials are mainly on text-based and not simple to comprehend.
  I personally does not understand anything when the tutorials text pop up.
  Combat tutorials with new mechanics introduced ? what do all these texts talking about ?
  New mechanics on alchemy ? Tried to read, but gave up in the end.
  They become understandable later after I messed around with my own hand, so for me it is fine, but yeah maybe not for everyone.
  Might expect to know nothing about these systems until the late stage of the game (I don't know, it took me like half past the game just to understand basic combat even when it is not complex)

Overall, I really love this game and spent hours just walking around aimlessly during break from work.
Highly Recommend for those who love the anime-style atmosphere and are seeking some games to enjoy at their own pace.

Good visual
Other aspects are rough around the edge, but a promising project (Not sure if they are gonna continue with this though) !

Relaxing & Innovative gameplay concept.
Just chill and mess around with tools in virtual space in short

Amazingly beautiful atmospheric story game !
I strongly recommend this game to anyone interested in games with good story / atmosphere
===========================================
Definitely the Best game I have bought in 2021
Wonderful Story telling / Sound design / Art
The beginning part is a bit dull for me and there are annoying aspects here and there in UI/UX, how the environment guides player.
The story is Strictly linear, not a bad thing in this case though
Overall very amazing ! I'm looking forward to their future projects !
