Potion Permit Nintendo Switch Review!

Potion Permit is due to release on the 22nd of September and my experience has been pretty positive bar a few minor bugs mentioned. I do know of a couple of friends though who have had bigger bugs in the game and as such it might be worth just keeping an eye on the top comment where I will update the build number as I expect a day one patch to bring everything in line. A shame as some have had no issues (bar the few glitches mentioned) and others have lost chunks of progress.

00:00 - Is it good though?
00:34 - Is there a story?
01:16 - Gameplay in detail
08:34 - Moonlighter's baby
09:51 - Music sample
10:15 - How much!?
11:33 - More tea vicar?

The colour changing joycon we use - save $8 with code: SUP2022

Happy Gaming

I’m on patch 1.0.2 - Enjoyable game - there are some bugs popping up for some users. I have been relatively unscathed but a friend has had a bug causing loss of progress. With this in mind it’s worth keeping your eye on this top comment as I will update with patch updates as and when they drop. A shame but worth letting you know as I haven’t had issue. Mark

I absolutely love the graphical style of this game. Timeless.

Note to everyone. For First time players of Potion Permit. You should romance Leone. During your 2nd or 3rd playthrough of the game. Because you're going to have to start fishing a hundred times. So you can catch a rare fish and become a official couple.

I'm loving this game. it's simple, but deep. Relaxing, but can get hectic when you dont have the stuff to make the right potions. Overall it seems very balanced and fun.

I appreciate you addressing the "can you get married" question without lowering the game's score because the answer is "no." I've seen so many people say they assume Harvestella is going to be crap because there doesn't appear to be a marriage element to it, and it's like... I'd rather have no romance in a game than have the shallow romance with paper thin tropes pretending to be characters that some games have been trying to get away with.

I’ve heard about the bugs from other reviewers. I think the devs are trying to fix all of them though. They got rid of the lag caused by the rain (hence why there’s no rain in the game) so hopefully they get to this soon. Progress loss can easily make me lose interest in a game. Such a shame because I love how charming it looks.

I wonder how long it takes in the game to become a pariah if all you do is brew poisons, mutter to yourself in your lab, and refuse to help anyone. It'd be funny if you eventually get run out of town. 😂

I ordered the physical! I've been wanting a crafting sim and this looks delightful. Even with all the issues, it still looks like a really fun game, and it's rare that it got a physical right away! pQube is really good about putting out physical games for it's Indie titles

[davidcbeaudoin]

You had me at dog companion... but seriously though, this sounds like a clever little title. I can understand why you see a bit of Moonlighter in this. Though I admittedly have pixel art fatigue, it's always nice when a developer does something to set it apart from the run-of-the-mill style. Potion Permit looks really vibrant and detailed. I also really dig mini-games when they're used to make frequent mundane tasks a little more fun. I'll definitely be wishlist'ing this one!

[biancabunny]

I think this game lacked character portraits, even more for the supposed bachelors/bachelorettes... because without them, the characters lacks this big appeal for someone dates them

[nicked_fenyx]

This is one I've definitely been looking forward to. I'll probably give it a shot and hope the bugs get fixed. Not a huge fan of the whole DLC thing being made available so soon after launch rather than including those items in the base game, but I guess that's gaming nowadays. Hopefully the rest of the game is worth it.

[GladeXD]

I've been waiting on this for a while. The price seems fair, but since there are some potentially serious bugs, I'll wait for patches. Thanks for the review!

[EdGreenwood]

Thanks for the review. I was considering getting the physical until I saw the difference in price for eshop. Gone from a possible physical order to a definite eshop download... Really enjoy your reviews. You always seem to call out the little things people want and find helpful both in praise and criticsms.

[dougcarlson]

Thanks for the great review. Enjoyed the little bit about your wife indulging you by naming your dog. Haha

Nice and Beautiful...a rpg that looks like a polished version of a 80's and 90's era rpg

[silla]

Although this will have to stay on my wishlist for now, I’m really looking forward to playing it in the future once the bugs are fixed. I love the slight twist on the formula and this style of pixel art is one I like.

[fangorn]

yes the artstyle is the kind of art that I like. Anyhow, wont be getting this game so soon as October is near and o.o a lot of those (old) games I want to collect (physically) are coming out.

[Em-fzuh]

Happy to hear you like this game as well. I preordered it so I started watching thinking What have I gotten myself into lol. I glad the game is as good as I thought it would be. Fingers crossed we don't have any bugs and hopefully they'll release a patch soon.
I started playing Bear and Breakfast I'm loving it so far ! They are just the perfect games to play now that it's almost Autumn and it's starting to be cold again.

[matty]

Woofster is an incredible name and the best part of this review 😂

[eriakuswiftwindz]

Just put this on my wishlist last night when I bought Bear & Breakfast. Hopefully they fix the bugs. I need my fix!
