To celebrate Dorfromantik landing on Switch here's a look at the game's fascinating relationship with landscape
Hello! With Dorfromantik landing on Switch today, here's a piece from Jay that takes a closer look at landscapes. If you're interested in the Switch port itself, we're running a piece on Saturday.
It chafes particularly because we’re all familiar with the kind of bucolic landscape that Dorfromantik tasks you with making. By placing hexagonal puzzle pieces so that the edges line up – tree to tree, field to field, home to home – you build out these landscapes, and score points for keeping the jigsaw aligned. Every so often a tile will come with a quest, like turning it into a farm with 50 fields, and completing these gives you more tiles. You can play until you run out.
Landscape theorist Barbara Bender calls attention to how we create static representations of the countryside as something beautiful to be observed – and what they miss out. No landscape has just one meaning; it’s experienced differently by everyone who sees it, participates in it, or just imagines it. The farm labourer, the landowner, the day walker, the wild camper, and the gamer do not see the same field in the same way.
