There’s obviously something in the water – eye of newt, probably. Potionomics is just one of many recent games to have you flinging leaf and sinew into a cauldron, though I dare say it would be a compelling game without that. It mixes genres, but at its heart it’s a shopkeeping sim, where you manage a potion store in a cosy fantasy world. You get ingredients, brew the stock, and haggle with customers. Then you do it again the next day.
