This is an absolutely amazing game. I've found it hard, especially after becoming an adult, and having to deal with the challenges and difficulties of the real world, to sit down and truly enjoy a game. And I often find it difficult to focus on one game, as I'll quickly grow bored when I have to grind, since I have so much less free time than I used to, grinding feels like a waste of time. But this game is different. Something about it is so astoundingly beautiful that even when I am "grinding", I am still having fun. Just taking in the scenery, and the weather, and the beautiful music makes it all worth it. Spending hours decimating a forest and destroying the ecosystem, just so I can build a magnificent log cabin, it's worth it. I love this game, truly. It is perhaps one of my most well-enjoyed games I've ever played.
