Definitely recommended! Here are my PROS and CONS (personal opinion)

PRO:
- lovely graphics!!
- super nice music!! (I will always remember "Hot pepper tuna" :D)
- the exact right amount of funny in characters and story
- really good characters and character design
- decent story, not super special, but enjoyable
- Minigames with a huge variety - Cooking quick time events, Catapult throwing, Seahorse races, i loved it!
- The game combines farming, looting and collecting, restaurant management etc.

CONS:
- I would have loved a little bit more restaurant management
- maybe I am stupid, but I didn´t like, that the staff abilities seemed so random and fix
- Sometimes I felt forced to dive, just to not miss out on ingredients like soy sauce or stuff like that, although I also just wanted to open the sushi bar to earn money to upgrade my staff. Between that, I had to manage my fish and crop farm. It felt a little bit tiring sometimes.
- Sometimes I just wanted to idle around and do my stuff, but story events, parties, Fishmons or Marinca content forced me (kind of) to do something at a specific daytime.

The game does not feel balanced or like I am in control of my economy or military at all, because there are just a few options. Units get lost or stuck ALL THE TIME, walls can´t be finished because of terrain issues (i think). The pathfinding - or lack of it - was already an issue, when the game came out (wanted to give it another try a few years later)...and I would say: Nothing has changed and it annoyed me so much, that I deinstalled it.

Es ist ein ganz nettes Game. Ich habe einige Stunden im Singleplayer gespielt. Ich kann vom Kauf nicht abraten, da ich auch in dem Genre nicht so bewandert bin. Ich kann nur sagen, dass ich mich viele Etagen hochgekämpft habe und es mir einfach viel zu eintönig wurde. Immer das gleiche, Gegner boten wenig Abwechslung über eine längere Zeit usw. . Also wer viel Fleißarbeit mag, dem kann ich es empfehlen. Die Grafik, Steuerung und Stimmung hat mir gut gefallen (ein wenig mehr Story hätte allerdings auch nicht geschadet).
