I dont know if I really still need to say it but obviously this is one of the most beautiful cozy farming sims ever! Rich Characters, a beautiful soundtrack, carefully made surroundings and continuous updates. I 100% recommend!!

My absolutely favorite game! Beautiful artstyle, stunning story, calm and nice music and gameplay. A must have for people who love cozy games and / or farming sims where you keep animals!

Amazing story driven Rogue-like. I personally love every aspect! The music, art, story, gameplay all outstandingly amazing. And there's cute merch!! AND YOU CAN PET THE DOG!

Aka is a beautifully sad Storygame about trauma, loss, grief and moving on. It has a beautiful Artstyle and Soundtrack and even though I had to get used to the 3D Panda in midst of the Painting aesthetic I still think its a beautiful game. The story moved me to tears more than once as the story of struggling to let go hit too close to home every now and then. The Farming and Crafting System is very cute and a little bit different from other Farming games which is a detail I enjoyed a lot.
The game doese experience some bugginess around interacting with characters or things like ladders but that didnt bother me all too much.

Sadly I wouldn't recommend this game for many reasons.
I mean if youre looking for a mindless grinding game with some cute visuals and a few sidequests then sure this game is for you but if you were looking for something stardew valley alike or at least something that has any kind of payoff or rewarding feeling then this aint it chief.

You get to meet a bunch of characters which all feel kind of superficial without very unique ideas for them. Some of them even feel like copies of each other. The cutscenes are almost always open ended which for me was fairly annoying. Theres no changing dialogue according to the level of friendship you build with them or at least no noticeable change. All of that just makes the characters a nuisance or means to an end instead of actually endearing additions to this world.

There is a pretty interesting story hinted at throughout the game. I really like the idea this story presents, its intriguing and made me keep going in this game but theres literally no pay off. You reach this much talked about "Edge of Solem" get two items that serve no real purpose except for taking screenshots and trolling your npcs and thats it. No cutscene, no new dialogue, no story. That felt really crushing. Working that hard. grinding til i was basically unable to focus for this game to present me with a literal void.

I was really excited for this game as a close friend had gifted it to me after it sat on my wishlist for what feels like an eternity and that makes this no pay off ending even more disappointing.

Edit: I did keep playing because Im a completionist and wanted all the Achievements.I dread every second of it.

Its an amazing game. Amazing Soundtrack. I love the mechanics, the ideas, the colors. Everything.
The narrative is bittersweet and always makes me cry but at the same time I kinda feel empowered and happy.

It started out amazing but the more updates it gets the less i enjoy it. Its sad but I wanna be honest

Edit: turns out updates now are pretty amazing - have a new found love for the game

It's an awesome game. You dont achieve the things too fast and not too slow which helps me to enjoy the game for longer than a week. Sometimes not all informations are in the game, so I needed to look some things up on the Internet but despite that it's an amazing game to play if you like travelling from planet to planet.
