Quick Take: Wait to buy a bit longer! The devs have a clear roadmap of whats to come. At the time of this review this is really just the foundation of the game, and even then some things (like combat) are set for a rework.

I have played these style of games since the genre was born back during the NES days. All those "its just like SDV" really should play more within the genre. This version has a great current modern take. Also the tropical nature of the setting (ocean exploring and mermaids? Yes please~) are a delight from the more rustic country-side. There are so many townies as well that I'm excited to get to know them.

So while the story-line isnt really in place quite yet, I've been enjoying building up my farm, unlocking the mines and cleaning the ocean.
