This game is an endless grindfest without any real story.
Yes its cute and all, but its much alike so many other games but its lacking debth
Just a endless stream of mini deliever quests to "progress"
Unless you like spending 300 hours catching rabbits and planting in a game with very limited enegry then stay away.

ultimately this game is fun and i enjoy it but i have some comments....

i bought this game forever ago, tried to play and IMMEDIATELY dropped it. the game really does just drop you in and not tell you ANYTHING. no tutorials, no guide, barely even an intro quest to get you adjusted to the game and what youre even supposed to do. ive had to turn to the wiki for pretty much every single thing, from getting started to learning the controls. if youre willing to do this i would say the game is pretty fun! but definitely not very inviting right out the gate. a small set of "tutorials" (about 3-4 sentences of basics) is hidden in the menus and only gets offhandedly mentioned once you talk to a random npc.

the next thing is a bit of a nitpick and im curious as to how ive never seen anyone else mention this, but some of the dialogue from the npcs seems VERY unpolished. it almost feels like placeholder text that the devs never bothered to go back in and replace. the very first character you talk with greets you with run-on sentences with incorrect punctuation. for $20 i would expect a bit more finetuning :( you can still easily understand what the characters are saying but it does just seem slapped together and not even reviewed before the game was released. (example i can provide is Frank asking(?), "Could you collect 10 pieces of wood for your shop sign and then you'll be set to open your shop at 12:00pm.") maybe ive just been spoiled by games ive played in the past but theres no life there !! :(

for the pros, gameplay is easy enough, if a bit grind-y as others have mentioned. i personally like this but its definitely not everyones style! lots of quests but they are just basic fetch quests. really fun to run around and collect things each day, as i believe the world resets (chests, flowers, wood, etc) each day, so there is always the option to simply run around and grab things you need. obviously really good graphics, very cute designs, as well as a lot of accessories to play around with! i also like how you can customize your character at any time, you arent stuck with what you choose at the beginning :)

ultimately if you think youll like it and youve seen gameplay/reviews and youre willing to spend some money on what youve seen, go for it! just weigh your pros and cons, use your best judgement, and maybe wait until its on sale
