"Alchemist: The Potion Monger is a big game with an innovative potion-making system that is very challenging to figure out. It’s colorful, has decent sound design, has a lot of NPCs, and has a whole bunch of quests. The world is huge, and you have to fight stuff out in the wild with a combat system that doesn’t feel great. Overall, Alchemist: The Potion Monger is pretty fun. The world is huge but kind of empty. There is a lot that is good about it, but some things I think will not sit well with some people. However, I do think that Alchemist: The Potion Monger is worth the price. It’s cute, it’s colorful, it’s fun, it’s cozy, but it is a little bit of a pain to figure out. If you like sprawling games with a lot to do and fun little quests that are pretty chill, there are far worse games you could pick up than Alchemist: The Potion Monger."

About

In Alchemist: The Potion Monger, you run a potion-making business from your home lab. Explore the world to collect ingredients, craft potions, and trade with NPCs who react to your choices. Build and decorate your house, tend a garden, and shape your reputation through moral decisions. The game blends resource management with role-playing, letting you prioritize profit, altruism, or mischief. Single-player only, with a focus on open-ended progression. Released April 3, 2024, this title from Art Games Studio balances crafting depth with light simulation elements. Players appreciate the flexibility to approach tasks however they want, though some note the lack of structured goals. Available across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Switch, it leans into cozy RPG vibes without overwhelming complexity. The simplicity of its systems makes it easy to pick up but hard to put down for some.
