Venba is an important game about an immigrant family living in Canada and the joys and hardships they go through throughout the years. I appreciate what the game was trying to do; I'm an immigrant after all, and it really made me think about my current familial relationships, but I felt both the gameplay and the story felt little underdeveloped. I did really enjoy learning about different recipes, but at the same time, I wished I could have been a bit more involved in making them. I think the story would have benefited from being an animated short film or something like that, because I felt like the pacing was all over the place and I didn't really connect with any of the characters. Still, Venba is a lovely game and worth experiencing at least once.
