What players say
Drake Hollow is a genuinely good game with a fun concept, and enjoyable survival-building gameplay. I was having a good time exploring, gathering resources, and taking care of the Drakes. Unfortunately, my game crashed and wiped my gameplay, which completely killed my motivation to keep going. That is the main reason I never finished it. It is a shame because I actually liked the game and wanted to see more of it...

This was so close to being a good game. I'd say it'd be worth a tenner but at $42AUD its a bit of a rip, 5 years on.
This game is so interesting to me, because it seems as though the developers had the makings of a good game ideally, but the product of those ideas just seems so lacking overall. I enjoyed the game kind of, but that only really held me and my friends attention for a few hours before we immediately thought, "so... what else". I would normally be fine with how monotonous the game tends to be, but for the original...
