Kinny and the Cosmic Cauldron

Hi there Kinnymoms, this is a sort of 2x review, as not only did I really enjoy the game, but my wife really enjoyed it as well, she thought the artstyle was really cute, she absolutely adored witchy stuff and she kept coming back to this game, I want you to know it truly made her happy, and I can't thank you enough to helping her smile, thank you Kinnymoms

Okay - negative review. But that's for lack of a neutral option. My main gripe is simply the fact that the game relies heavily on synergy mechanics, whilst simultaneously making that less possible with more options which will mismatch. While more options would otherwise be a good thing (I mean, who can complain about new content), it's inherently unsustainable in practice, because it punishes progression. So this means in the beginning it's like being pidgeon-holed into limited ingredients (i.e., sushi), but later on early strategy building will fall apart. Just like in real life, more ingredients can certainly elevate a dish, but some of the best meals are the simplest. A better way to tackle this issue, is keep the same core synergies like in the early game, but have different ingredients build on to those core synergies in unique ways. Otherwise, this is a fine concept. It's not heavily engaging after a certain point, as it's a bit repetitive and lacking in visual contrast, but there's a decent loop established here that I can get on board with. Just wish it was executed differently.
