Eastward is an enthralling post-apocalyptic RPG that allows you to play as two unlikely heroes, John and Sam, on a mission to redeem themselves. The game's stunning visuals, captivating story, and simple yet enjoyable combat mechanics make it an RPG worth playing. The mini-games, interesting NPCs, and cooking mechanics all contribute to the game's depth and replayability.

What we like:
  • Simple yet enjoyable combat mechanics
  • Interesting NPCs and mini-games
  • Well-integrated cooking mechanics
