Potion Craft is excellent for 5-7 hours; and not after.

In a few words, ingredient RNG is hell.

Randomly scarce ingredients due to the merchant not selling them requires you reinvent the wheel by remaking old potions a LOT. I found myself with a huge surplus of money (Like $25,000); but the merchants never having the basic ingredients for me to buy!

I wish I could spend one day a week to leave the Potion Store, and go to the Herb store instead!!

I hit a wall around Moon Salt (40%ish through the Philosophers Stone crafting tree), where making progress becomes multiplicative. You need to keep remaking the precursor reagents of the stone; which was fresh hell because I hadnt saved the reagent recipes, since I thought they were one offs.

Critiques and comments:
1. Please please, for the love of all that holy, allow us to at least request specific ingredients from the Herb/Mushroom Seller for next time....
2. Spending one day a week to go buy/procure select ingredients would be godsend.
3. Make it clearer we need to remake the reagents a dozen times.
4. Some way to upgrade the Enchanted Garden
5. There's a "Shop" which implies you can upgrade the Cauldron, Spoon, Ladle, etc; but no one sells these?

For new players; here are some tips:

1. Buy way more Crafting Recipe pages than you think you need.
2. SAVE THE REAGENT RECIPES!!! You need to remake the beginning reagents at least a dozen times.
3. Buy all of the Sale Ingredients every time they appear.
4. Pray the basic ingredients are available.

Its just so damn RELAXING

Since two half-lives didnt make a full-life, I say we make another one, just to be sure.

Admittedly I have an Nvidia 660gt, 8gb of RAM, and an i7; but 20 fps on the lowest settings is outright unplayable.
I've never refunded a game before now, which is a shame because the actual gameplay is really fun.

An artfully crafted game with an mind blowing end. Inception has nothing on this.
