Talisman 5th Edition review: "The characterful imperfections of the original game remain clear to see "

Far from just another “cozy” game, Wanderstop invites you into a colorful world filled with quirky characters and bizarrely flavored tea at the price of some uncomfortably insightful introspection.

Like I mentioned before, the game moves in chapters—five in total. Each chapter marks a change in The Clearing, the quiet, almost magical space in the forest where Wanderstop resides.

For as sweet and wholesome as it may seem on the surface, this is a piping hot cup of tea that left a lasting mark when spilled.

You see, this isn’t just a story about burn out (though playing it while actively experiencing burn out myself added a whole other level to that aspect of it). Alta is a previously undefeated arena fighter who has hit a terrible losing streak. Convinced something must be wrong with her, she heads to a mysterious forest in search of a legendary fighter to help “fix” her, but passes out from exhaustion on the way.

The artistic direction of Wanderstop is nothing short of stunning. Every frame of the game feels like a painting, with colors carefully chosen to reflect mood and atmosphere. The shifting environment with each chapter creates a real sense of time passing, and the way the world subtly transforms mirrors Elevada’s internal journey. The character designs are distinctive, and the way NPCs move and emote adds to their depth.

Elevada is, of course, resistant. Throughout the game she will try to run away, find excuses, distract herself, create needless objectives, and be outright unpleasant to anyone Wanderstop Gameplay who tries to help. In all her battles against the strongest foes this world has to offer, she evidently never suspected her toughest fight might be against herself and her ceaseless craving for momentum.

Operating the tea machine itself is rather uncomplicated for such a complicated looking contraption. A tall ladder rotates around the giant glass pots in the center of the tea shop – you climb to the very top and pull a rope to fill the first pot with water, then climb down to smack the bellows, keeping the thermometer bar balanced to get the water to a perfect boil.

Wanderstop is a narrative-centric game about change and tea. Playing as a fallen fighter named Alta, you’ll manage a tea shop within a magical forest and tend to the customers who pass through.

Dialogue is beautifully written, filled with small, poignant moments that can unexpectedly hit close to home. And Boro? The embodiment of gentle, unwavering support. Every word he speaks carries weight, making him one of the most memorable characters in recent gaming. The only thing keeping this from a perfect 10 is the ending. While thematically fitting, it lacks a certain emotional punch that a stronger conclusion could have delivered. Wanderstop embraces ambiguity, but a bit more resolution—especially in the final moments—would have made the journey feel even more rewarding.

Foraging is another key part of the process. Tea leaves are scattered throughout The Clearing, waiting to be picked. I do wish we could also plant our own tea bushes, but alas, foraging is the only way. We also gather mushrooms, which can change the properties of the fruits we use—sometimes in expected ways, sometimes in ways that completely surprise us.

This colossal lifestyle change usually takes place within a simple opening cutscene, a quick dusting of lore before we get to the real meat of the game: growing turnips.

Players are invited to immerse themselves in its cafe management simulator where they must learn how to brew a good cup of tea using a mix of different ingredients, serve it to customers, and perform related chores such as cleaning, decorating, and gardening.

You can feel it in the pacing, in the way the game quietly, deliberately slows you down. I should have expected this from Ivy Road, the creators of The Stanley Parable, but I was still surprised by just how masterfully the game navigates these themes.
