The collector's edition for Eastward came with a fun little cd soundtrack and there's like three bonus tracks included. These bonus tracks are absolutely no where online except in-game and in this collector's cd and like, for two of them its not a huge issue for me...

But like this one track is missing and its literally my favorite track in the whole fucking game.

It's just an alternate version of "Strange Quest" that plays during gameplay but it deviates from the main track in such a blissfully emotional way that it just makes me so goddamn happy I can't explain it. The fact it's not online and no one can look it up made me sad and now I have to fix that :'D For reference I'll put the main track below that's in the official digital release, cause it's still really fantastic y'all like this soundtrack is just full of fucking bangers mate aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Eastward DLC ‘Octopia’ launches January 31, 2024 for Switch, PC

Gematsu Source

Eastward downloadable expansion “Octopia” will launch for Switch and PC via Steam on January 31, 2024, publisher Chucklefish and developer Pixpil announced. Chucklefish told Gematsu it did not have any news to share regarding the downloadable content’s availability for the Xbox One version of Eastward.

Here is an overview of the downloadable content, via Chucklefish:

About

Set in a parallel world to Eastward without the dangers of miasma, Eastward: Octopia will see players joining the good life alongside Sam and John, repairing and revitalizing an old neglected farmland in this expansive farm-sim downloadable content. Players will grow crops, tend to livestock, and unleash their culinary creativity using freshly farmed produce to whip up scrumptious new meals, which are then stored in John’s Big Cookbook. There are fishing holes to visit, ghosts to chat to, and a colorful cast of Eastward characters to impress with John’s new recipes. As the farm grows, so does the nearby town, with players able to transform an abandoned fairground into a thriving community, constructing homes and shops, and welcoming in familiar NPCs as new neighbors.

Key Features

Help Sam and John lead a peaceful new life in the countryside – no miasma, no hardships, just happy times in a parallel universe

Revitalise a neglected farmstead; grow crops, rear animals, forage in the wetlands, talk to ghosts, and spend your nights casting your line in the local fishing holes

Construct and upgrade stores and homes to restore Seagull Town into a thriving community

As the town begins to flourish, more familiar faces will flock to the area – some may even stay for good!

Using farm-fresh ingredients and John’s Cookbook, create recipes and whip up delicious culinary delights to share with your neighbours

15-20 hours of pixel perfect gameplay

Playable in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese

Once purchased, Eastward: Octopia is accessible from Eastward’s start menu, so players can begin their farming adventure straight away, regardless of their progress in the base game.

Eastward is available now for Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and Humble Store.

Watch a new trailer below.

Heading East (No Spoilers)

Eastward

So 2022 has been awesome for the indie games scene and Eastward by Pixpil and published by Chucklefish is most definitely not a break from form! I was exposed to Eastward pretty early on after its announcement and I knew I would have to check it out because the vibe is just so for me. As per my usual, I didn't look up release dates or anything so I promptly forgot about the game and was only reminded about it right before it came out day-in-date on Game Pass. But I am really glad I ended up checking it out anyway!

First impressions:

The things that really drew me in for this game is the art style (I love a good pixel art aesthetic), and the music. When I finally was able to install the game, the intro cinematic blew me away! The awesome character designs come to life through the animation, and the action and story elements are displayed beautifully. The biggest part that sold me here is the music. The opening track by composer Joel Corelitz, called "Eastward," is going to be in nearly every playlist of mine forever. And if the art and music weren't enough, the beginning of the game really takes off in a very appealing and eventually quite gripping way.

Why you might want to check it out:

I would recommend this game to almost anybody. The main appeal is its simplicity. It’s not trying to do a million things and I think that is really working for it. Since Pixpil spent their time focused on story and art rather than adding extraneous mechanics and side quests, Eastward becomes an exciting and cinematic experience. Another awesome selling point for it is some surprisingly good boss fights! I usually find boss fights in this presentation to be passable to bad, but Pixpil has really innovated and created some new experiences that really shows off what is possible in a top-down, 2D, pixel art style. Finally, the best reason to check it out is that it is included in Gamepass which means a that it’s basically free.

So please do yourself a favor and at least play the opening hours of Eastward. If you do, let me know because I haven’t seen much talk about this and it is disappointing!

Thanks,

VC

Finally, after waiting for so long….

THERE IS AN EASTWARD DLC!!! 🎉🎉

My jaw physically dropped, I think I might start crying of joy. I’m honestly at a loss for words because of how AMAZING this looks!!!!!

It seems to be more of a farming simulator like stardew valley and less plot focused, which I love. And of course, The visuals look stunning as always.

I am curious as to when it takes place in relation to eastward, because Sam is still young and not end of game Sam, Alva is alive, but both daniels are there? PLEASE GIVE ME ANSWERS PIXPIL 😭😭

Anyways, it says in the description of the YouTube trailer that Sam and John are starting a new life as farmers. I CANNOT wait to see where this goes!!!!

Eastward official art/screenshots dumps

as the self proclaimed eastward collector i just realized i NEVER uploaded these here i believe.

There MIGHT be spoilers here

These were from 吉考斯工业 on weibo, a clothing brand that collaborated with eastward, if i remember correctly there was a small interview and these concept arts.

now THESE were used for actual merch + some of the merch photos

I can't make a weibo account so i can't check the account's past posts but i have this??

what else do i have around here

the amazon collector's tote bag

this concept art image also from weibo

sam making a snowman on an unknown place

#my post #eastward #establishing my place as the eastward weirdo... #i just really really realllyyy love the art in this game #i love how varied it is and how it doesnt settle for a single style

[picory]

finished eastward yesterday and now i feel that post-good-media-that-came-to-an-end sadness. i really enjoyed playing it. the pixel art looks absolutely beautiful, and the ost is catchy and great. i love the character designs, so fun and whacky and exaggerated. reminds me of professor layton. however the plot is a bit confusing in places, i'll have to replay the game to maybe analyze and understand it better...

also (major MAJOR spoilers below. talking aboutthe ending)

i heavily dislike the fact that isabel did not get a good ending, like william and daniel, or at the very least a hopeful one, like john and sam. no she just... loses her everything. and then they just leave it at that. would be nice if pixpil developed a sequel, to tie the many loose ends they left behind

#i think im going to replay it these days bc i wanna live blog about it lol #but to myself #quacks

[justot]

Sam is surely getting stronger

She stepped to Ghost Sam

Unlocked a new level of her power and had to use it right away as we fought this monster.

Sam can now use 200%, this game is going crazy

2022 Games of the Year

Hello everyone! 2022 is officially in the can, so it's time for me to rank my top 10 favorite games that I played this year. Here are the groundrules:

Any game I played and finished (whatever that means for each game) this year for the first time. Games that I have played before but only finished this year for the first time are eligible.

If I don't finish a game during the year, as long as I finish it before the end of January and a majority of the playtime was in the last year, it counts.

Ports, remasters, and alternate editions of a game count as the same game, but full remakes do not.

Only one game per series. Same franchise but different series is okay.

Without further ado, let's take a look at my favorites this year!

10. Resident Evil Village (2021)

Genre: Survival Horror Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom System Played On: PS5

Everyone's favorite giant undead mommy makes 2021's followup to Resident Evil VII a chilling adventure. Unfortunately, I wish Lady Dimitrescu and her mansion comprised more of the game, instead of being relegated to merely the first third. However, we did get the genuinely horrifying basement area immediately after. All in all, a fun survival horror romp that brings Ethan Winters's story to a close. I'm excited to see what the Resi franchise does next, as it's clear they've got their mojo back.

9. Catherine Fullbody (2019)

Genre: Puzzle Developer: Atlus Publisher: SEGA System Played On: PS5

In this enhanced port of 2011's romantic survival puzzle game from Atlus (the creators of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise and the Persona series), you guide the hapless Vincent as he navigates the perilous waters of romance in the waking world and a devious climb up a wall of blocks each night in the dream world. While I hated Vincent at first, I liked that he can be redeemed by the end, based on your choices. The puzzle gameplay is also incredibly deep and punishing on harder difficulties. Unfortunately the game waits way too long to actually teach you proper strategies, but it's still fun nonetheless. The story has many more twists and turns than you would expect from the premise, too, and even includes some not-horrible queer representation, to my utter astonishment.

8. Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020)

Genre: Action RPG Developer: Square Enix Business Division 1 Publisher: Square Enix System Played On: PS5

I've been a casual fan of FFVII for years now, and this year I finally got around to playing the remake after a replay of the original. While there are a few rough edges (unnamed NPCs all have the exact same face, for example), it's a really fun take on the FFVII story that really digs deep on some of the plot points that went by a little quick in the original. Of course, this only covers the events in Midgar in the beginning of the original game, and a sequel is due to follow someday. Most notably, Remake makes changes to the story that has me eager to see where it will lead. The action combat is fun as well, and I enjoyed being able to control and customize all the main characters.

7. Eastward (2021)

Genre: Adventure Developer: Pixpil Publisher: Chucklefish System Played On: Xbox Series X

Eastward is an incredibly moving adventure game starring John, the silent-but-reliable protagonist, and Sam, his mysterious child sidekick, as they make their way inexorably eastward across a land ravaged by a mysterious Miasma, meeting all sorts of wacky people who are doing their best to survive. The game features a Zelda-like play style, but with an art style and melancholy tone that occasionally can be quite humorous reminiscent of Mother 3. The game is gorgeous, charming, and often heartbreaking. Unfortunately, I found the story was a tad on the obtuse side, and I wished the ending and some of the behind-the-scenes events had been explained a bit more clearly.

6. Pokémon Violet (2022)

Genre: Monster RPG Developer: Gamefreak Publisher: Nintendo System Played On: Switch

While I also finally played the previous generation's Sword version this year, I thought Violet (my choice of the two versions) edged it out. I want to say up-front, yes, it definitely has its faults. The game looks and runs like hot garbage, especially compared to other games on this list, and is sorely lacking post-game content, being the first Pokémon game in recent memory without a Battle Tower or equivalent. However, the open-world format, while a bit clumsy, fits the franchise well, and there are some honest-to-Arceus good story moments in these games, especially in the endgame. While the game could have benefited from an extra year of development and a more powerful console, I think it's still worth playing and beating.

5. Persona 4 Golden (2012)

Genre: JRPG Developer: Atlus Publisher: SEGA System Played On: PC/Steam Deck

While I had played the original Vita version of P4G, I'm ashamed to say that I never actually finished! This year, I spent a ton of time getting to 100% completion across three playthroughs. While the game's abysmal handling of multiple queer characters is just as if not more painful today, I found the game to be a ton of fun, as protagonist Yu must investigate a series of paranormal murders in the small fictional Japanese pastoral town of Inaba, recruiting the help of eccentric classmates to infiltrate a bizarre TV world and rescue potential victims. Along the way you learn to use the various small-town amenities to aid you in your quest and become friends (and maybe even lovers) with various townsfolk. Compared to the later Persona 5, and especially Persona 5 Royal, I found P4G to be less hand-holding, trusting me more as a player to plan my limited time and resources. If you're a fan of JRPGs, Persona, or Shin Megami Tensei, this is a must-play.

4. Lost Judgment (2021)

Genre: Action Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Publisher: SEGA System Played On: PS5

2021's sequel to the Yakuza/Like A Dragon spinoff Judgment sees us once more follow loose cannon detective Yagami as he investigates a series of murders with strange connections to both a high school in Yokohama as well as a bizarre sexual harassment case in Shinjuku. As before, Yagami investigates by interviewing witnesses, following targets, and using a host of high-tech detective tools to find the truth. Of course, his fists and feet are also just as valuable, with the Yakuza franchise's staple brawling combat across multiple fighting styles in huge open cities. Also as expected of the Yakuza franchise, there is a king's ransom of side content both serious and lighthearted, particularly in the new school clubs which Yagami can participate in, from a skateboarding club where Yagami does his best Tony Hawk impression, to a robotics club where you take place in a strategic battle of the bots. My only gripe is that this sequel feels a bit less personal to the main characters, leaving Yagami feeling a bit like an outsider through the whole story, but still a great game that innovates on the Yakuza franchise.

3. Super Lesbian Animal RPG (2022)

Genre: RPG Developer: Ponett (@slarpg) Publisher: Ponett System Played On: PC/Steam Deck

You ever have a story that comes out of nowhere and jaw-punches you with just how made-for-you it feels? While SLARPG may seem like just a cutesy RPG-maker game at first blush, this indie darling full of strong, complex, queer female characters really had me feeling seen as a queer female gamer, myself. The story is a heartwarming modern fantasy that focuses a ton on flawed characters learning to grow emotionally under the pressure of having to save the world. In addition, the combat system has a ton of unexpected depth with unique character abilities plus interchangeable spellbooks that each have their own abilities. Also, finally a game that will let the lesbians kiss! Ye gods that was so satisfying. My only complaints with the game are some inevitable RPG Maker jank (as a recovering RPG Maker veteran, myself), and the fact that the short-but-sweet runtime has left me rabid for more!

2. Digimon Survive (2022)

Genre: Tactical RPG/Visual Novel Developer: Hyde Publisher: Bandai Namco System Played On: PC/Steam Deck

Digimon fans (of which I include myself) have been clamoring for a really good game for decades now, and I personally think Survive is it. The game features a cast of middle schoolers (notably older than Digimon's normal heroes) who find themselves stuck in a strange alternate world inhabited by spiritual monsters called Kemonogami (the titular Digimon), and must fight for their very survival and a chance to return home. The game's dark tone and moments of character growth were extremely moving and refreshing for Digimon, which usually caters to a much younger audience. Some may not care for the extensive Visual Novel content for the story or the tactics-lite combat system, but I found them both to be engaging, and I enjoyed both befriending all the characters and recruiting all monster species. The game has multiple endings to explore as well, the true ending only available on NG+. However I kind of felt like it made the alignment-based endings feel a bit moot. Still, this game is a triumph for the Digimon franchise and I really hope we'll see a Survive 2 someday.

Honorable Mentions

Before we get to the #1 spot, I'd like to take a moment to highlight some other games I played this year, from smaller indies to larger games that didn't quite make the cut, but still are worthy of your time:

Grapple Dog (PC) - Fun GBA-style action platformer with cute characters.

Echo Generation (Xbox) - Stranger Things-esque voxel RPG with tons of lo-fi 80s vibe.

Elec Head (PC) - Indie puzzle platformer where you toss around your battery-powered head to solve electricity puzzles.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (3DS) - Main-series SMT monster RPG with mind-bending story and world where you're forced to choose between law and chaos, but neither choice is truly right.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (PC) - Arcade fighter sequel to both Persona 3 and Persona 4 with a surprisingly deep and emotional story.

Shantae and the Seven Sirens (PC) - Indie darling Shantae is back on another adventure platformer on a sprawling island home to seven titular sirens who have gone missing.

Super Kiwi 64 (PC) - Tiny retro 3D collect-a-thon featuring a zippy little kiwi bird.

Rainy Season (PC) - Tiny story based game about being stuck inside your small Japanese house as a kid during a rainy day and using your imagination.

Lunistice (PC) - Retro 3D platformer with tons of PS1-era charm.

Crisis Core Reunion (PS5) - Remake of Final Fantasy VII's PSP prequel Crisis Core on modern consoles. Looking very smooth, but the new voice acting is a toss-up at best and still relies too heavily on the same grindy missions as the handheld original.

Civilization VI (PC) - I finally got into CivVI this year and may have developed an unhealthy addiction to this turn-based civilization building strategy icon.

The Complex: Found Footage (PC) - This creepy short walk through the infamous Backrooms is sure to send a chill down your spine.

And at last, here's the (probably unsurprising) game of the year!

1. Elden Ring (2022)

Genre: Action RPG Developer: FromSoftware Publisher: Bandai Namco System Played On: Xbox Series X

As someone who is already a die-hard Souls fan, this is really a no-brainer. Elden Ring takes the legendary Souls formula and blasts it open to a massive open world. Somehow, eleven years after Skyrim started the open world craze, in an era where such games are passé, Elden Ring manages to create a triumph of tough-but-fair combat, deeply detailed vertical level design, and a subtle-but-deep world and lore. I've sunk hundreds of hours into this masterpiece of a game across multiple different playthroughs, each somehow still fresh and fun. This game will be a huge icon for many years to come, especially if From decides to create some DLC down the line.

So what do you think? Do you agree with my picks? Think some other games should be on the list? What were your favorite games this year? Let me know~!

Initial Research (Eastward)

Eastward is an RPG pixel art game released in late 2021 by Pixpil and published by Chucklefish on several platforms, in late 2022 it became available on Xbox One.

Eastward takes place in the future after a toxic presence has poisoned the air, society is now on the brink as those remaining have hidden in underground villages, but John and Sam wish to be free in the outside world.

-Why is Eastward so popular?

Eastward has a very retro feel to it with the music and graphics, but also adds in a ton of detail that captures the players attention. Eastward is also a surpisingly long game for being made by an indie company and has a compelling story and characters.

-What makes Eastward fun?

Eastward has all of the elements of an older Zelda game with its currency, items and explorable dungeon system, but amplified with the beautiful graphics and unique approach to storytelling.
