Eastshade is a beautiful little game. Think any Elder Scrolls game without the magic and the combat and on a much smaller scale. The game succeeds with that, giving you a satisfying sense of exploration in a mystical world, even though its a tiny little island.
You reach the island with the goal to paint the favorite locations of your late mother. To reach those places, you have to help out the locals with a variety of quests, that are written well but are nothing special.
The game looks rough around the edges visually (especially with the characters, they have basically no real animation), but the colorful environment if you set out on foot in the wilderness more than makes up for that.
