Alchemy is quite an interesting activity that you won’t be able to do in real life. Fortunately, there are video games that show you how to do this very well and can captivate you for dozens of hours.

1.Alchemist Simulator.

Release Date: October 23, 2020
Platforms: PC, PS5, XSX|S, Switch
Single Player Only

It is worth starting with a project that has a rather banal name, as for the games from this selection, namely – Alchemist Simulator . Well, that is, the name already speaks for itself, but this does not affect the gameplay. You play as the owner of a small store with various ingredients. In your free time, you have the opportunity to brew various potions and create all sorts of items according to recipes. As you play Alchemist Simulator, you will have to take orders and cook them in order to advance along the plot and expand your own business.

Separately, we can praise the pleasant design and good graphics. Here, the style is so successful that from the first minutes you can feel the atmosphere of the alchemical craft. At the same time, Alchemist Simulator offers dozens of recipes and types of potions, which will definitely appeal to everyone. There is content in the game for tens of hours, so once you launch Alchemist Simulator , you will not want to get out of it for a long time.

2.Potion Permit

Platforms: PC, PS5, Switch

This is a more advanced alchemy project, which in addition to brewing potions and collecting ingredients also offers home improvement, developing relationships with various characters and participating in various events. In Potion Permit , you seem to live the life of an alchemist and the game perfectly conveys all its aspects. The project is made in a pixel style, which only benefited the game. It seems that such a design was created specifically for games in a fantasy setting, and Potion Permit is just like that.

The gameplay will appeal to you due to the abundance of activities, because during the passage you will not have to do anything. Well, the alchemy itself is thought out to the smallest detail and will force you to study each recipe and ingredient in detail to get the right potion. The plot here is more for show, but it is there. I recommend just trying Potion Permit and most likely you will fall in love with it purely because of the atmosphere.
