An amazing collectathon farming sim. There's not much incentive to talk to NPCs aside from completing or initiating quests. However, if you prefer to focus on gameplay elements like resource gathering, fishing, bug catching, mining, and combat, then that should be perfect for you. Only issue is that quite a few achievements are buggy. I was going to complete the museum (2 common bugs and a growing lotus flower away). but after seeing that I couldn't get the [spoiler]Albino Ponya[/spoiler] and plushie achievements to work, I decided against it. Great game, though.

No idea why this game isn't spoken about more unless I'm completely oblivious but I haven't found a co op farming game where you can both do as much as the other, by far the best game I've played all year!

Game is very cute, cosy and relaxing. Slow paced and the weekly quests can be repetitive, but this is what I found made it relaxing and stress free.

If you're looking for a Stardew Valley clone, then I'm not sure there's a better option than this one. The only big differences being this game has a lot more quality of life, but less non-grindy content. Both big differences can be seen as good or bad. I've enjoyed playing this with my gf quite a bit and I'm happy to review our findings. Cons: - Your pet being able to dig and water crops is great, but that means you don't get to upgrade the tools they replaced(hoe and watering can). - The pixies allow for automation, but this system is VERY grindy. You need to craft pixie shrines then grind for Everberry juice and other juices to place in the shrines to get pixies. Almost anything consumable can be placed in the shrines too but pixie mushrooms have a way higher rate of getting pixies. To upgrade the quality and quantity of pixies, you need to sacrifice them in the cave on the beach, but the reward amounts have massive gaps/thresholds so in the very late game, you are generating 10s ...
