only giving it a thumbs up cause it was an alright game that is definitely worth playing. (especially if you use 2x speed through tools)
it's more of an exploration / grindy game, than farming sim imo.
the farm is just there so you can spam your cooking so you can maintain energy for grinding, or get some upgrades.
hate the fishing system.

if you love exploration and farming or cooking, this game might be for you.

the combat is absolutely horrendous and boring and monotone, theres no monster variety, just the 2 same ghost monsters throughout the game. (its only story or trial related, so you wont see them in the normal gameplay)

overall it was an alright game, if i had to rate id probably give it a 6/10.

I picked this game up on sale for $3.74, and now I’m already 17 hours in — and genuinely loving it! The story has been really enjoyable so far, and the overall vibe is wonderfully cozy. Combat doesn’t come into play until later in the story, and even then it’s simple and easy to handle (though I haven’t reached the late-game yet).

If you’re looking for a combat-heavy adventure, this probably isn’t the game for you. But if you enjoy cozy exploration, farming, decorating, and building relationships with characters while following a story, then this is right up your alley. You can spend time focusing on your camp, but progressing through the story is important to unlock new features.

My biggest gripe early on was how slowly the character runs and how quickly energy runs out when sprinting or performing actions. That said, this improves as you progress, unlock perks, and find new outfits. The recipe mini-game was a bit frustrating at first, but it’s grown on me. Fishing also has a bit of a learning curve — I’m still struggling with some of the tougher catches — but I’m hoping that gets easier down the line.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend this game if you’re into cozy gaming experiences!
