[2023] Review for anybody on the fence.

After watching gameplay I knew what I was getting into for $60. That’s a lot to shelf out for a game these days esp indie games. The game is good but it does recycle a play style we have seen many times before. What sets it asaise from wild flowers is create a character and multiplayer. However it does it well. The items and decorating is really cute, most of the time if you have a game you might only have a few select items you really like and stick with that. This game has a lot of cute items and I can’t wait to see what else they add in 2 dlcs. The crafting is really satisfying. The farming wasn’t really meant for you to have this massive farm and sell 10,000 crops. So if that’s what you are looking for this may not be for you. You can have a crop only farm but the selling table slots are limited. You can upgrade them but you only sell 1 item at a time but there are like 8 slots on a table. The devs actually mentioned that they want you to craft items and sell those crafted items for money. That’s where you make the most money. The crafting is done very well though pretty much every item so far that I’ve picked up can be used with something. They did a great job with the animations it doesn’t feel lifeless. You actually pull your crops out of the ground and when you pick tea flowers or berries they actually come off one by one and you can see that. I love that detail. The animals are so cute and they didn’t do anything new with taking care of animals but it’s still fun. I mean you can have moth rabbits. What really sets this game apart from other farming games is its online part. The fact you can play with other people makes this experience so much better. The npcs aren’t totally lifeless but it’s nothing to write home about. If you are expecting rune factory or stardew level npc dialog and interactions this may not be for you. They def put their time and effort into the multiplayer part and that’s fine with me. I’d rather be able to share my experiences and gameplay with other people than it be a totally single player experience but that’s just me. Overall $60 isn’t terrible for the fact it also includes any dlc they decide to put into the game. There is a lot of room for dlc here. So so far I’m loving it, I’m actually enjoying it more than starfield. But anyway any questions comment here.
