Completed with 100% of achievements unlocked (1,000G). A beautiful game with a great concept, Eastshade sees the player taking control of a shipwrecked artist, arriving on a lightly populated island with the intention of commemorating his mother with a set of paintings. Unusual for an adventure game, Eastshade is entirely devoid of combat, instead focusing on exploration of the world with some light questing and puzzle-solving (often requiring paintings of appropriate subjects). The painting mechanic is as simple as framing the image on-screen, so it doesn't allow as much creativity as might be expected, but the artistic theme is still used to good effect in dialog, etc. Inevitably, you're not going to find great excitement from the game, but there's a great sense of character which means that it remains a worthwhile experience.
