To help me cope with the ending of Eastward I bought the $6 expansion where it promised, and delivered, that nothing bad would happen; I've processed my mourning and I'm absolutely enraptured with these characters more than I was before. Getting to live a peaceful farming life with Sam, Alva, Isabel, Solomon, William's Family, and Mung's Family has brought me much joy. I am now a huge fan of Eastward, part of me hopes Pikpil will continue the story of Eastward but I wouldn't be surprised, nor would I be mad, if they moved on to a different game.
I bought this game on a whim to use up my Gold Points before they expired based on the cover. I do not regret it.
Eastward is a story focused action adventure game in the style of old Zelda games with an art style inspired by Mother 3. The combat is ehh, left to be desired, partially because this game lags on the switch and partially because some enemies will just stick to you. A minor annoyance, nothing more than that. The shining star of the game is the story. Act 1 is predictable but for good reason, Act 2 is boring but for good reason, and Act 3 is where it all pays off. Most people I talked to about Eastward dropped it around Act 2, Act 2 is where the game sticks in one area for a majority of the game. You are there to get immersed, live with the city folk, and absorb the atmosphere. It's worth it, I promise.
Good game, definitely recommend.
P.S. This game is surprisingly raunchy and kinda vulgar even though the game looks very friendly. For example, there is a merchant that is a repurposed sex machine and whenever you complete a transaction, the display on the machine plays an animation of a woman climaxing. It's not graphic or anything...that's just what happens...

I may not play the mobage that much anymore but this game was like a dream come true. All these characters I've grown to love in gacha are now in a 3D action game. I'm steadily playing through the game trying to 100%, I will write a better review at a later date.
