Potionomics Reviews

Super fun game, love the art style. Great if you're looking for a cozy game to play casually, or you can min max to make oodles of money like me lol.

IT'S SO CUTE!! The tycoon management aspect of the game starts falling off towards the end, when everything is unlocked and money doesn't matter anymore, but it's still *engaging* and fun throughout. And oh my god, the animations and models and everything else about it is so adorable, I can't harp on that enough. As someone who's played much worse looking games without complaint, I still can't get over how good they are, The visuals are a selling point here.

Fun and wholesome, with lots of cool and different characters. I played on easy mode, it still wasn't that easy in the beginning. Though near the end I was able to achieve pretty much everything I wanted. I could have finished the game a lot faster but I got stuck optimizing all the different potions.

Highly recommend if you're into cozy capitalism games. When it first came out, it was hard for me to get into because it felt way too strict and difficult, especially when you want to focus more on the unique and amazing characters. So I put it off until the latest update from October which added voice acting and more modes: Cozy and Capitalism. I went back in with the cozy mode which lets you travel freely and I was instantly hooked. I absolutely love all the characters and the hard work that was put into the amazing animations and art style. There are a few bugs and visual glitches but nothing that takes away from the experience. UGH great game great story

I really enjoyed Potionomics! All the characters were fun and full of personality, making the story and interactions really engaging. The art direction was beautiful, with colourful and detailed designs that made the game feel alive. While the gameplay did get a bit repetitive in the later half, and I ran into a few bugs, I still had a great time overall. It’s a charming and unique game that I’d recommend to anyone who loves shop management and strategy games!

probably one of my favorite games of all time, like top 10. like recettear but better which was already one of my favorites. played it for the first time after the 2 year anniversary update and a lot of my favorite things about it were actually added in that update, so if you played it before i would definitely go for it again. i played it via family share and bought it afterwards just to give them money and post this review

If you're looking for another cute game to play, look no further. Fall in love with the characters and strategise on how to use your time wisely. If you're looking for a challenging experience this game is probably not for you but otherwise, what are you waiting for??

This game is very fun and all the characters are adorable and have very diverse personalities. I am surprised the gameplay loop has quite a bit of depth and meta-progression. I like the fact that it is not overwhelming when you start playing it, and they gradually introduce mechanics at a pace where it feels neither grindy or too frequent. My criticism of the game would be that the game doesn't respect your time as well as it could in terms of UI/UX. There are loading screens going from one interface to another. That really shouldn't really need to happen if this is essentially a sprite/ 2.5D game. As well, I feel that this game is in desperate need of a QoL updates, or mods, which help you track and plan how you go about fulfilling objectives, for example custom orders, especially when they get really picky later on when it comes to traits, and when you go from one interface to another, you have to memorize what those traits are. Overall, enjoying my time with it.

This game is an absolute delight! I kept up with all the updates when this game was in development, and the finished product was just as good as I'd hoped. The visuals are good, the soundtrack is perfect for this game, the potion-making itself is fun and engaging, the haggling is stressful in the best way possible, and I loved interacting with the characters. I felt a genuine sense of accomplishment as I passed through every rival every week. Sure, I had to start a week over once or twice, but that was my own poor potion planning. If it had become too much or was too easy, the game allows you to change the difficulty at any time. I have played the game to completion and 100% after it was fully complete with the updates and DLC, since I took a while to start after I'd bought it originally. And let me tell you, that was the perfect way to do it. Having the endless mode is perfect if you love the repetitive nature of the game, and especially if you want to max out your relationships! A wonderful cozy game I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys crafting and building character relationships!

Fun game. Very time consuming though due to how the UI plays. There are no means to quickly do things, you will spend a great deal making shopping lists/planning days. A curious thing, as you get better at the game, the events get longer. How this works is that dealing with customer dialog, which should have some sort of a speed/skip option, you will get more customers as you become better at the game, which means you will spend more time in dialog options. The characters are great and most all of them are interesting. I'd recommend the game if you want to sink a lot of time into something. It is fun, just wish doing things within the game didnt take so long.. looking at you brewing potions. There is no save/preset option, and there are hundreds of ingredients.
