I love this game, but right now I'm frustrated. Apple Arcade takes priority over any other platform, and events that should let us get past and current things do not. In the current friendship event, users on Steam, Switch and Playstation have furniture in boring colors like green, brown, etc. while Apple Arcade users get happier colors like pinks, purples, etc. Not only that, but we aren't allowed to dye them to the colors that AA has. And apparently people on AA are getting special My Melody and Kuromi furniture that isn't on any other platform. And we still don't have City Town. The coding and everything is already in the game, so I don't understand why it's taking them so long to give things to us. We all spent our money and we should get everything that we paid for. Or at least release the furniture sets and City Town as a paid dlc. Everyone got this free winter area, and log cabin furniture at the same time, and still no City Town for the other platforms. It makes me less happy to play the game knowing I can't experience everything or have everything unless I pay for AA. So, while the game is fun, cute, and relaxing, I don't recommend it in its current state.

Yes, it's very cute. Kinda repetitive and sometimes I have no idea what I need to do. Theres no time penalty. It is addicting to just get cozy in at night or to just see cute stuff while feeling down.

Let me start by saying, this is a really cute game BUT it can be incredibly tedious and repetitive. Fetch quests dominate this game, which I usually don't mind at all, BUT for some items you have to wait a full day in real time before being able to proceed. Items that you need the most are few and far between, so some quests take days to complete unless you have a special item that replenishes items on the island. There are daily and weekly quests that don't really change a whole lot from day to day or week to week. Some quests cannot be completed unless you get someone else to play with you, that's just not cool. Especially at the price this game charges. Game progression is locked behind friendship levels with the characters, so you basically spend most of your time crafting gifts and handing them out. The characters level up pretty quickly at first, but then it starts to take longer and longer even when giving them the best gifts. Truth, it's cute, but definitely not worth the price they are charging. This is another game where I wish Steam had a middle option between thumbs up and thumbs down. If you can get it on a deep sale, go for it, but just know what you're getting yourself into before buying.
