Potionomics will blow you away with its intertwined mechanics, wonderfully made features, thoughtful gameplay and charming characters. There are certain weaknesses and a regretful lack of freeplay mode, but the time spent in the game is well worth it.

Critic reviews
- 7.5Potionomics is a gorgeous game with expertly animated characters and entertaining writing. The potion-making component can be fun, but at times the looming deadline and struggle to gain money makes Potionomics a stressful experience.
- It has so many elements blended beautifully together that would make many different types of gamers happy. With some UI tweaks to highlight critical information to players when its desperately needed, Potionomics will undoubtedly receive even more positive attention than it’s already getting (which is saying something).
- 7.4The game boasts a rich palette that breathes character into this world. Musically, Potionomics’ tunes and sound effects are adequate, but only one cat-themed track stands out above the rest; the other tracks are largely forgettable.
- 8.7Despite being comprised of seemingly disparate parts, Potionomics feels extremely cohesive, with every element interacting with every other, and contributing to your greater goal of winning the competition.
- 9.0Potionomics is still something I’ll keep going back to and introducing to other people. It does so many things right, and is a deck-building game that goes beyond simply understanding the strategy of a winning hand.
