Animal Crossing has a Nostalgia that is hard to explain... EVERYONE was playing it and when the world was at a stand still everyone turned to this game. Even hearing the music at the 5am mark on the game brings back so many memories .... girl you need to play it .. its NEVER too late to play Animal crossing
I bought Fae Farm, and my issue was the fast clock. Coming from ACNH, I couldn’t get used to trying to get through the day in 18 minutes, and I was really frustrated. I think I read that they introduced a slow mode, where the days are 36 minutes, so I may go back and try playing again.
I loved Echoes of Plum Grove and Wylde Flowers. I also have cozy regrets and have left games unfinished, Fae Farm is one of them. One thing I heard was that a big reason we have a hard time returning to a game is feeling a little lost on where we left off and the plans we had going forward in it. It was suggested we keep a simple gaming journal on what we've done in game that day and our thoughts of what we want to do. Being able to refer back to that helps in diving back in.
I hear you. as I have a few games that I played up to a point but never completely finished. I will say that My Time at Sandrock is my absolute favorite game of this genre. It is highly addictive once you really get into it and has so much story, things to do, interesting mostly voiced characters that truly make the game so enjoyable. I love the building/decorating, character customization and, surprising to me, love the combat and dungeons. It has a ton of replay ability, which Wylde Flowers lack, which keeps me creating new saves every few months. I say, give it another try, you won't regret it!
I *highly* reccomend revisiting My Time At Sandrock and Wylde Flowers. MTAS has one of the most satisfying and incredible stories I have ever played through. It was so immersive and it has a great balance between the action packed stories vs slower parts where you get to really know the townsfolk. Wylde Flowers also has a really amazing story and the fact that you change the season yourself really allows you to go at your own pace. Its also a game I think you can pick back up easily and finish without putting too many hours into it.
I finished the first year (and so the major storyline) of WF, going a little bit more after that but can’t remember how much, and it’s amazing. Easy to understand and navigate, great gameplay and the story is really well made imo, the voice acting was a great choice cause it immerses you so much more into it. I’m thinking about picking it up again myself since I know there’s a new character and I loved talking to every character at the time, that’s a part I really enjoy in a cozy game especially if they’re fleshed out and you’re really able to know them.
You've got a bad case of the new shinies. lol (Don't worry, we all do it.) Writers do this too. We love our WIP right up until the moment we get a new idea and abandon the old WIP for the new one.
First let me say, I completely understand not finishing something you set out to do. I do the same thing with housework. It's never too late to play any of these games. Please don't feel bad about not finishing them. Like I said once before, I would love for you to revisit Wylde Flowers, but you are a gamer that must be on top of the latest games. it's hard to finish a game in its entirety. I do love that you have stuck with DDV despite the bugs. I have a suggestion. Just like what you are doing by playing Coral Island for a month, what if you create an event like "Revisit Friday" or "Cozy Game Revisit" where you poll us on which cozy game to play again and you play that game on a certain day for a certain amount of time until the game is complete. Then we move onto the next. Regardless, we love your content no matter what you do finish or don't. Keep doing what you're doing.
It's definitely not too late to get back into ACNH - I started playing in Dec 2022, played hardcore until spring 2023, then didn't touch it for a year. I got back into it last spring, and I circle back to it in between all the other games I'm addicted to (PaliaPaliaPaliaPali--). And there seems to be a wave on content creators starting brand new islands right now, so it's a perfect time to (re)start! It's definitely making me want to finish my island so I can start fresh. Wylde Flowers is at the top of my, "Why am I not playing this anymore?" list - I played it for 3 hours straight last year, loved it, fully intended to return to it... and then my life exploded and other games came out and I just... didn't go back. I still have it installed and everything - Tara stares at me from the desktop shortcut every day, judging me 😅
they have made so many quality of life changes to fae farm including the time slow and the ability to move your flowers i def recommend giving it another go
I have this problem too and I kinda made peace with it. I learned that in the concept of highly sensitive people there are two archetypes: divers and scanners. The divers feel really at home when they can deep dive into one topic and really live through it until they will move on after some time eventually. Scanners have multiple interest that they cycle through all the time. I definetly fall into the latter and in our time it can be difficult for us to navigate this tendency, because there is almost a shame around not finishing something in one sitting and not having one focus. Once I learned this concept I could start to embrace this facette of myself. Life is to short for shame, especially around your free time. Still, as fast paced as our society is, I think its important to have certain boundries to not get overwhelmed. For example how many games am I comfortable to cycle through at one time, being ok with prioritizing some games over others, really considering if a new game is worth buying for you rn and sometimes just being ok with letting games go completely if you sense its simply something you dont enjoy anymore. Maybe two years in the future you wake up and feel called to start a new save in this game? Who knows! And thats okay. Happened to me with AC two months ago. At the moment I enjoy to play ACNH, but I do have open saves in Wylde Flowers and Spirittea I will return to in the future. When I feel like I feel drawn to another game, I kinda make a mental checkpoint for me to make it easy to get back into the story. TLDR! Still I hope this maybe helps someone else because it feels so freeing to just follow your own flow and intuition.❤
I really love Echoes of Plumb Groves! The drama that the game has got me at the edge of my seat. What I’m about to say just comes from what other content creators have gone through. I don’t know if you get burnt out with the games. Not because the games aren’t good but because you play them a lot as part of your UA-cam career. Rather than just to play. So the games probably don’t feel as a fun and personal experience like playing video games at home on a Friday night kinda vibe. I say play games you wanna play old and new. We will support whatever games you play or don’t play. I enjoy the content you make and I’ve been discovering games I didn’t know existed. I think us a community enjoy your energy and personality as a content creator. So don’t burn out for trying to keep up with the trends and just play all the games you enjoy. I say this with much love and appreciation
I can totally understand getting distracted by new games, getting tunnel vision while playing em, and completely forgetting snot older ones. There’s just something about all the newness. I’m like that with just about anything lol good news is you know you got a whole lot of game to circle back to when you’re bored with the current one’s you’re playing. What games are you rotating thru the most right now? My Mini love your DDLV content by the way.
I completely understand. Im now making an effort to play at least one game year in a game before moving on. Lol im near the end of Summer on Coral island.
this is so real. I have a collection on my Steam library titled "Need to Revisit" because I do this too. It's not even really that I don't enjoy those games that I stopped playing, what happens is that another game comes along and consumes my time and thoughts. Edit: Cult of the Lamb is definitely in my top games of all time. There have been multiple free updates that really enhance the game!
I feel like you just made a video of my life! 😂 But, of all the games I've dropped, the one I'm confident i will go back to is Sandrock. I realized i like binging it and then taking a break. Done that a few times already. It's easy to get back to and remember where i am and what I'm doing.
I have the same problem. But I totally recommend finishing Wylde Flowers. I myself need to go finish My Time at Sandrock cuz I have so much fun playing it.
I can relate to unfinished games. I'm prone to burnout. It took me forever to beat Pokemon Colosseum. I've beaten it once and I've started it so many times I've lost count. ^^; I'll start a game, play it *a lot*, get burnt out, spend so much time away from it that I forget what was going/what my strategy was/where I left off, and end up starting a new save. Wylde Flowers - This being in the thumbnail is what made me curious about this video. I would love to be able to play it, but unfortunately I can't afford it right now. Echoes of Plum Grove - Never heard of it, but my first thought was of Paper Mario. xD The life cycle aspect reminds me of some Harvest Moon games. Lego Fortnite - Not my kind of game, but it looks like it might be interesting to watch/listen to. My Time at Sandrock - This looks interesting. I'm actually curious about this one. I love customization! That cat is so cute! Fae Farm - Yay! I love Fae Farm! My bf got it for me for Christmas last year and I beat it in I think February? But that was before the 2nd dlc came out. And yeah the character development could use improvement, but they're getting better at that. I'm in the official Discord server and they really listen. Paleo Pines looks cute. Another one I'm getting curious about. Cult of the Lamb - By the name alone I wouldn't expect it to be a cozy game. But it looks like it has cute and even funny aspects to it. Animal Crossing - I've only ever played the GameCube one and I really have trouble getting into it. Maybe a different one would be better for me? Idk
Maybe start with one game that wouldn’t take to much longer to finish. That feeling of accomplishment will encourage you to finish the others. ACNH doesn’t necessarily have an ending, unless you consider getting your Island to 5 stars. Getting to 5 stars really isn’t that bad, and if you want there are so many of us that could help!
That's a good idea! I think that feeling would help propel me into the next game. I think I need to play some games for myself too. I struggle with that as a streamer.
This video makes me feel so seen!! I have a hard time finishing games and I thought I was the only one who hasn't finished ACNH !! I want to play but get so intimidated by terraforming x.x
I bought My Time At Sandrock early upon its release but somehow I didn’t went far, and stopped it. But I decided to try a new save two month ago, and put my main focus on the story, and at some point, I just couldn’t stop playing. I will say it here but the story is really really good, and I can’t understand why I wasn’t into it before. So give it a new fresh start and enjoy the story, you can get easily bored while looking for ressources, so I would recommend to just look for what you need for quest
I’ve just started getting back into FaeFarm since they’ve added all the new stuff. Same with Paleo Pines. They added a new dino recently and I’ve been getting back into it as well
oh yeah. I have a bunch of games I started and am in the middle of that I put aside for one reason or another. I'm hesitant to even pull out Switch games here, but I think Astral Chain would count, and possibly Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Both aren't really cozy, but I actually remember what I was doing, kinda. And then there's the Steam library, where there's games I played between 30 min and over 60 hours but didn't complete (looking at you Sun Haven and Moonstone Island). I also still need to play Wylde Flowers past the section that's in the demo... woops.
I think it is hard to go back. I feel like I have forgotten the mechanics so I always feel like going back after a long break I almost need to start over. For example, I fully intend to return to cozy caravan, but I feel like I need such a refresher that contiuing feels intimidating. So I find myself not wanting to go back until I have time to start over and commit which turns into never playing it again after awhile. But I do have a list of games I am requiring myself to finish before I can buy any new ones. I recently invested in a legion go because there were so many cool computer games coming out that may or may not come to the switch. Which makes it easier to play in bed for a few hours every night. 😅
Random question, but can you “complete” animal crossing new horizons? As in get to the end credits? Like is that a thing? Is completing it just paying off your debt? I’m curious as there is no story in the game 😅, it’s just winging it on an island 😄. Anywhoo, I would say give my time at sand rock another shot, it’s such a good game both visually and mechanically (is that the right word? lol) as it plays very well.
No realllyyy. I mean I guess you could have a fully decorated island but I don't think there's like an end? 👀 But also idk because of obvious reasons LOL! I think I could set goals for myself to "finish"?
I have this issue too! For me it’s more because I love the game so much I just don’t want to finish it because I’ll never be able to go back and relive the first time playing it again 😅 unless I have time to grind it and complete it in a timely matter
It's never too late to start Animal Crossing. There are so many people that still play. Most of the people that don't are because they have burnout. They've created so many islands they ran out of content. If you've never actually made an island you should be OK. I didn't even start playing ACNH until the 2.0 update came out, so I never knew what it was like to play when it first came out. It's the one game for me that I don't think I'll ever stop playing (until the next one comes out).
(5:20) awesome video & keep up the good work & I believe that u should go back playing my time at sandrock & I really want to see your experience of u getting to know doctor fang & what is your thoughts about it & I ending up married to doctor fang on that game & it is the best experience ever in my personal opinion & I will watch your gameplay video of u playing my time at sandrock & just to warn u that there is emotional cutscene in this game so make sure u have a box of tissue with u because doctor fang confession event might make u cry so just to warn u right now
I'm not sure I've ever "finished" any of the farming Sims I've ever played - dating back to Harvest Moon GBA days 😂 - despite playing some for hundreds of hours. For some I lose interest after getting married, but for most of the more recent games I either get obsessed with a new game or it's an EA game that I had finished all available content and then had a hard time getting back into it when new content comes out after a long time away. My Time with Sandrock is one of those I had stopped playing while waiting for the final content patch and have just not gotten back to it despite loving the game (have 185 hours in it). I do plan on going back eventually though as I do want to finish it. Similar issue with Coral Island (that one I have even more hours in lol). So I can totally relate 🙂
I love sandrock! I ply on switch and made my character look like a pink cat 🐱 I have about 60 hours in the game. I am right now playing Portia on tablet before I continue because there are some references. But these are a few of the games I play regularly.
I bought Coral island on Steamdeck months ago, I haven’t started it yet..along with several others..lol I played ACNH daily since it came out until DDLV came out and I play that daily now. I seem to be a one person game…I can’t focus on another one when I love playing one so much.
I could probably count games I’ve completed on one hand, honestly. And none of the games on your list are ones I’ve completed. I tend to play sporadically- ignore everything including hunger cues for hours, then put it down and forget it exists. Wylde flowers- I’m looking forward to the story but I just keep getting stuck on trying to 100% everything asap, which means I play a bit grindy, so I enjoy it less than I might. Fae Farm- I put the game down (because life) at a point where I hadn’t decided what to focus on next, so indecision keeps me stuck. ACNH- the pandemic didn’t really change much for me outside some extra stress- I’m not a social butterfly, and I didn’t lose my job or work from home- so despite curiosity it took me a while to get a switch and the game. I love the real time aspect of it, but it does mean with my sporadic play style that I miss out on things that I have to wait a whole year to try again for
I really like and enjoy ACNH. I'm currently on my 3rd island. Personally, I really like decorating type games, so it's probably why I like ACNH. I like trying to get my island the way I want it. I did play Wilde Flowers for a good while, but stopped only because I couldn't seem to figure out what to do. I have a few games that I got that I started to play, but just haven't gotten back to. The one game that I keep wanting to go back to is Hogwarts Legacy, but for some strange reason I just can't seem to get back into it. I really don't want to start all over again, but the might have to, considering the one time I did try to get back into I actually forgot what controls to press & stuff like that.
lol Not alone at all. I bought Animal Crossing and didn’t continue it after a month maybe. I bought Disney DreamLight and stopped when my characters hit level 5 on friendship. I finally picked it back up. 😢😂
It's not just you. I have the same problem. I have ADHD. I have at least 3-4 different beloved titles I want to continue playing right now, and often suffer analysis paralysis. As well, and even moreso than these other reasons, I find it extremely difficult to get back into a game I made a lot of progress in but haven't touched in months or years. At the same time, my brain is unwilling to start fresh if it would mean extensively enduring repeated steps and story beats I've already seen. My Time At Sandrock is on my list of uncompleted, but I have 150+ hours in it, so restarting is out of the question. I have 30+ hours in Wylde Flowers but dropped that too. I have 40-50 hours in Coral Island and can't seem to get sucked back in now after I stopped playing to binge Palia (which I did complete what's available there, with over 300 hours of gameplay logged). Of all you named, MTaS is by far the most rewarding, but also the most seriously demanding of your time. I think my save file is a little over half way done with the storyline quests, after taking my time and enjoying the game and using the slowest day speed available. Maybe second to ACNH only, in how much time you'll need to put in.
@@LetzPlayK Thank you! Yes! I've at least gotten my money's worth out of them, even if I don't go back. But I fully intend to, because there's still so much left to see in all of them. One of my biggest obstacles right now is vision issues I need to get new glasses for, but could be looking at at least a month from now before getting those, since they take a week or two to arrive once ordered and I need to wait two weeks for next paycheck. That probably doesn't help my inability to get back into the games, when they cause eye strain or visual discomfort due to the issues. But yeah, analysis paralysis is very real. First world problem, though, of course, having so many awesome things to choose from that you just can't even begin to decide where to start. I spend more time looking at my Steam games list than playing anything!
i'm going to get booed out of brew crew, but acnh was so boring to me after a very short time. i think that the aimlessness of it just didn't work for me. wylde flowers in on my deck and I will get there eventually.
I have games I started and never finished (or didn’t even get very far), namely Stardew Valley (1.6 on Switch when 😭), and lots of the older Story of Seasons-type games that I wanted to love but just couldn’t get into. I also bought Wylde Flowers and Fae Farm and… haven’t played either yet. 🫣 If you return to one, I think it should be Wylde Flowers! It has great mechanics and a lovely engaging story, and you seemed really delighted by it. Plus, it’s the perfect cozy fall game. 🍁
paleo pines and my time at sandrock are definitely my top two from the games in the video, i loved watching you playing those games and i was instantly intrigued 🫶🏼 but personally i only play the sims 4.. there are so many games that i love watching other people play but i‘m just not a gamer and can‘t get into any other game but sims, which i‘m very disappointed in..
Raise your hand if you're part of the unfinished games club!!! 🙋♀
🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️ and I'll never change lol
Everyone:
Literally All:
LOL welp 🙋🏼♀️

Animal Crossing has a Nostalgia that is hard to explain... EVERYONE was playing it and when the world was at a stand still everyone turned to this game. Even hearing the music at the 5am mark on the game brings back so many memories .... girl you need to play it .. its NEVER too late to play Animal crossing
I knowwww! This is what everyone says! I just learned about the 5 am music not to long ago and how nostalgic it is!
Yess, never too late to start!
You know my vote... Wylde Flowers is an INCREDIBLE game and it ends in such a satisfying fashion, I think you should play it again!! 💖
@@ArtByAshleyJayne for sure!! I finished the first year of gameplay and it was so satisfying and will hopefully be pretty easy for you
It's top of my list for sure!
I bought Fae Farm, and my issue was the fast clock. Coming from ACNH, I couldn’t get used to trying to get through the day in 18 minutes, and I was really frustrated. I think I read that they introduced a slow mode, where the days are 36 minutes, so I may go back and try playing again.

At lease we aren't alone!
i have probably 50 games i need to finish 😔
This was such goooood vid idea!! Faefarm and wyldflowers are differently on my list as well. And it’s never too late to pick up ACNH!!
Thank you! I thought it would be fun for everyone to see my struggles LOL

Thanks for this video! Would love to see you play My Time at Sandrock. Everyone says it is such a great game.
The comments say the same too! I've been hearing the story line is amazing!
Honestly Wylde Flowers...it's so great and in the end...cuuuute!
Wylde Flowers is so good. If you do get a chance, I'd definitely finish it.
Might be the one I choose to finish first!
I have this problem too and I kinda made peace with it. I learned that in the concept of highly sensitive people there are two archetypes: divers and scanners. The divers feel really at home when they can deep dive into one topic and really live through it until they will move on after some time eventually.

Very well written message and thank you! You have great points!
I really love Echoes of Plumb Groves! The drama that the game has got me at the edge of my seat. What I’m about to say just comes from what other content creators have gone through. I don’t know if you get burnt out with the games. Not because the games aren’t good but because you play them a lot as part of your UA-cam career. Rather than just to play.

I say play games you wanna play old and new. We will support whatever games you play or don’t play.
I enjoy the content you make and I’ve been discovering games I didn’t know existed. I think us a community enjoy your energy and personality as a content creator. So don’t burn out for trying to keep up with the trends and just play all the games you enjoy.
I say this with much love and appreciation
This is sooo relatable!!! There’s so many I haven’t finished, coral island, enshrouded, final fantasy 😩😩😩😩 help!
Helpppppp lol we need HELP
I can totally understand getting distracted by new games, getting tunnel vision while playing em, and completely forgetting snot older ones. There’s just something about all the newness. I’m like that with just about anything lol good news is you know you got a whole lot of game to circle back to when you’re bored with the current one’s you’re playing.
What games are you rotating thru the most right now? My Mini love your DDLV content by the way.
I completely understand. Im now making an effort to play at least one game year in a game before moving on. Lol im near the end of Summer on Coral island.
Let's go! I am middle of summer in coral island rn too!
this is so real. I have a collection on my Steam library titled "Need to Revisit" because I do this too. It's not even really that I don't enjoy those games that I stopped playing, what happens is that another game comes along and consumes my time and thoughts.
Edit: Cult of the Lamb is definitely in my top games of all time. There have been multiple free updates that really enhance the game!
Side note: Didn't know could title our own collections on steam! That's cool!
I feel like you just made a video of my life! 😂 But, of all the games I've dropped, the one I'm confident i will go back to is Sandrock. I realized i like binging it and then taking a break. Done that a few times already. It's easy to get back to and remember where i am and what I'm doing.
LOL at least we aren't alone in this struggle!
I have the same problem. But I totally recommend finishing Wylde Flowers. I myself need to go finish My Time at Sandrock cuz I have so much fun playing it.
It's #1 on my list I think and most ppl are recommending it or sandrock! Thank you!
I can relate to unfinished games. I'm prone to burnout. It took me forever to beat Pokemon Colosseum. I've beaten it once and I've started it so many times I've lost count. ^^; I'll start a game, play it *a lot*, get burnt out, spend so much time away from it that I forget what was going/what my strategy was/where I left off, and end up starting a new save.
Wylde Flowers - This being in the thumbnail is what made me curious about this video. I would love to be able to play it, but unfortunately I can't afford it right now.
Echoes of Plum Grove - Never heard of it, but my first thought was of Paper Mario. xD The life cycle aspect reminds me of some Harvest Moon games.
Lego Fortnite - Not my kind of game, but it looks like it might be interesting to watch/listen to.
My Time at Sandrock - This looks interesting. I'm actually curious about this one. I love customization! That cat is so cute!
Fae Farm - Yay! I love Fae Farm! My bf got it for me for Christmas last year and I beat it in I think February? But that was before the 2nd dlc came out. And yeah the character development could use improvement, but they're getting better at that. I'm in the official Discord server and they really listen.
Paleo Pines looks cute. Another one I'm getting curious about.
Cult of the Lamb - By the name alone I wouldn't expect it to be a cozy game. But it looks like it has cute and even funny aspects to it.
Animal Crossing - I've only ever played the GameCube one and I really have trouble getting into it. Maybe a different one would be better for me? Idk
I’d love to see you play animal crossing you’d have a spectacular island
I started Animal Crossing in 2022. I had I missed the era and the bond people have with this game
Maybe start with one game that wouldn’t take to much longer to finish. That feeling of accomplishment will encourage you to finish the others. ACNH doesn’t necessarily have an ending, unless you consider getting your Island to 5 stars. Getting to 5 stars really isn’t that bad, and if you want there are so many of us that could help!
Yeah! Or even making a series that you dedicate through going through the games one at a time on stream until you can finish! Whatever’s easiest
That's a good idea! I think that feeling would help propel me into the next game. I think I need to play some games for myself too. I struggle with that as a streamer.
I never finish games! I keep starting new ones! 😢I really like Wylde flowers I vote you finish it!!!❤
At least we aren’t alone lol! I think if I do choose one to finish first, it may be Wylde Flowers!
This video makes me feel so seen!! I have a hard time finishing games and I thought I was the only one who hasn't finished ACNH !! I want to play but get so intimidated by terraforming x.x
I am so intimidated by it too!! And yesssss, we share the same feelings!
WyldeFlowers is one I NEEED to finish. It's so damn good and I know it but I got distracted by something else, as always.
Same and same! I think I am going to try and return to it!
I bought My Time At Sandrock early upon its release but somehow I didn’t went far, and stopped it. But I decided to try a new save two month ago, and put my main focus on the story, and at some point, I just couldn’t stop playing. I will say it here but the story is really really good, and I can’t understand why I wasn’t into it before. So give it a new fresh start and enjoy the story, you can get easily bored while looking for ressources, so I would recommend to just look for what you need for quest
I hear this a lot about the storyline! I need to get back into it!
I’ve just started getting back into FaeFarm since they’ve added all the new stuff. Same with Paleo Pines. They added a new dino recently and I’ve been getting back into it as well
They are both great games!
I love Cult Of The Lamb and they just released an update for two players and an amazing DLC!
Oooo two players would be so fun!
oh yeah. I have a bunch of games I started and am in the middle of that I put aside for one reason or another. I'm hesitant to even pull out Switch games here, but I think Astral Chain would count, and possibly Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Both aren't really cozy, but I actually remember what I was doing, kinda.
And then there's the Steam library, where there's games I played between 30 min and over 60 hours but didn't complete (looking at you Sun Haven and Moonstone Island). I also still need to play Wylde Flowers past the section that's in the demo... woops.
I loved faefarm! Completed the original game but haven’t touched DLCs
I think it is hard to go back. I feel like I have forgotten the mechanics so I always feel like going back after a long break I almost need to start over.
For example, I fully intend to return to cozy caravan, but I feel like I need such a refresher that contiuing feels intimidating. So I find myself not wanting to go back until I have time to start over and commit which turns into never playing it again after awhile. But I do have a list of games I am requiring myself to finish before I can buy any new ones. I recently invested in a legion go because there were so many cool computer games coming out that may or may not come to the switch. Which makes it easier to play in bed for a few hours every night. 😅
OMG I am the same way. Then restating feels to daunting so I do nothing lol
Random question, but can you “complete” animal crossing new horizons? As in get to the end credits? Like is that a thing? Is completing it just paying off your debt? I’m curious as there is no story in the game 😅, it’s just winging it on an island 😄. Anywhoo, I would say give my time at sand rock another shot, it’s such a good game both visually and mechanically (is that the right word? lol) as it plays very well.
No realllyyy. I mean I guess you could have a fully decorated island but I don't think there's like an end? 👀 But also idk because of obvious reasons LOL! I think I could set goals for myself to "finish"?
I love when you post videos too, though I do love the streams ❤
Thank you for enjoying both!
I have this issue too! For me it’s more because I love the game so much I just don’t want to finish it because I’ll never be able to go back and relive the first time playing it again 😅 unless I have time to grind it and complete it in a timely matter
I always love your videos!
Thank you so much! 😊
It's never too late to start Animal Crossing. There are so many people that still play. Most of the people that don't are because they have burnout. They've created so many islands they ran out of content. If you've never actually made an island you should be OK. I didn't even start playing ACNH until the 2.0 update came out, so I never knew what it was like to play when it first came out. It's the one game for me that I don't think I'll ever stop playing (until the next one comes out).
Thank you for this! 🩵
Wyld flowers and FaeFarm omg...I fell so bad I didn't finish either of them
I've considered getting fae farm but I feel like everyone has moved on and I'll be alone lol
I feel like this sometimes too but you should still give it a try if you are interested in playing it.
(5:20) awesome video & keep up the good work & I believe that u should go back playing my time at sandrock & I really want to see your experience of u getting to know doctor fang & what is your thoughts about it & I ending up married to doctor fang on that game & it is the best experience ever in my personal opinion & I will watch your gameplay video of u playing my time at sandrock & just to warn u that there is emotional cutscene in this game so make sure u have a box of tissue with u because doctor fang confession event might make u cry so just to warn u right now
Thank you so much! I am really considering giving Sandrock another try! I hadn’t realized it was so storyline driven which sounds really nice!
I'm not sure I've ever "finished" any of the farming Sims I've ever played - dating back to Harvest Moon GBA days 😂 - despite playing some for hundreds of hours. For some I lose interest after getting married, but for most of the more recent games I either get obsessed with a new game or it's an EA game that I had finished all available content and then had a hard time getting back into it when new content comes out after a long time away. My Time with Sandrock is one of those I had stopped playing while waiting for the final content patch and have just not gotten back to it despite loving the game (have 185 hours in it). I do plan on going back eventually though as I do want to finish it. Similar issue with Coral Island (that one I have even more hours in lol). So I can totally relate 🙂
Same, the curse of early access makes me not finish games 😭
I stopped playing Disney Dreamlight for a month now! But it’s soooo popular but I just can’t
But thats sort of exciting that games life line never really expire, at any time you can pick it back up
That's true. I can play at any time! Didn't really think about it like that!
The only game I have ever finished was the original Kingdom Hearts. I struggle with the same issue😆
I love sandrock! I ply on switch and made my character look like a pink cat 🐱 I have about 60 hours in the game. I am right now playing Portia on tablet before I continue because there are some references. But these are a few of the games I play regularly.
Also I love cult of the lamb and just got the sinful pack (it was half off).
I bought Coral island on Steamdeck months ago, I haven’t started it yet..along with several others..lol I played ACNH daily since it came out until DDLV came out and I play that daily now. I seem to be a one person game…I can’t focus on another one when I love playing one so much.
That's good though because at least you can focus on a game!
I could probably count games I’ve completed on one hand, honestly. And none of the games on your list are ones I’ve completed. I tend to play sporadically- ignore everything including hunger cues for hours, then put it down and forget it exists.
Wylde flowers- I’m looking forward to the story but I just keep getting stuck on trying to 100% everything asap, which means I play a bit grindy, so I enjoy it less than I might.
Fae Farm- I put the game down (because life) at a point where I hadn’t decided what to focus on next, so indecision keeps me stuck.
ACNH- the pandemic didn’t really change much for me outside some extra stress- I’m not a social butterfly, and I didn’t lose my job or work from home- so despite curiosity it took me a while to get a switch and the game. I love the real time aspect of it, but it does mean with my sporadic play style that I miss out on things that I have to wait a whole year to try again for
I really like and enjoy ACNH. I'm currently on my 3rd island. Personally, I really like decorating type games, so it's probably why I like ACNH. I like trying to get my island the way I want it.
I did play Wilde Flowers for a good while, but stopped only because I couldn't seem to figure out what to do.
I have a few games that I got that I started to play, but just haven't gotten back to. The one game that I keep wanting to go back to is Hogwarts Legacy, but for some strange reason I just can't seem to get back into it. I really don't want to start all over again, but the might have to, considering the one time I did try to get back into I actually forgot what controls to press & stuff like that.
At least you put Wylie Flowers on the list or we were going to have to have a talk lol.
Tehehhe I knew if I didn't I would never hear the end of it LOL
lol Not alone at all. I bought Animal Crossing and didn’t continue it after a month maybe. I bought Disney DreamLight and stopped when my characters hit level 5 on friendship. I finally picked it back up. 😢😂
It's not just you. I have the same problem. I have ADHD. I have at least 3-4 different beloved titles I want to continue playing right now, and often suffer analysis paralysis. As well, and even moreso than these other reasons, I find it extremely difficult to get back into a game I made a lot of progress in but haven't touched in months or years. At the same time, my brain is unwilling to start fresh if it would mean extensively enduring repeated steps and story beats I've already seen. My Time At Sandrock is on my list of uncompleted, but I have 150+ hours in it, so restarting is out of the question. I have 30+ hours in Wylde Flowers but dropped that too. I have 40-50 hours in Coral Island and can't seem to get sucked back in now after I stopped playing to binge Palia (which I did complete what's available there, with over 300 hours of gameplay logged).
Of all you named, MTaS is by far the most rewarding, but also the most seriously demanding of your time. I think my save file is a little over half way done with the storyline quests, after taking my time and enjoying the game and using the slowest day speed available. Maybe second to ACNH only, in how much time you'll need to put in.
I suffer from analysis paralysis as well. I hate it so much. You at least have made good progress in most of the games you've played so that's a win!
@@LetzPlayK Thank you! Yes! I've at least gotten my money's worth out of them, even if I don't go back. But I fully intend to, because there's still so much left to see in all of them. One of my biggest obstacles right now is vision issues I need to get new glasses for, but could be looking at at least a month from now before getting those, since they take a week or two to arrive once ordered and I need to wait two weeks for next paycheck. That probably doesn't help my inability to get back into the games, when they cause eye strain or visual discomfort due to the issues. But yeah, analysis paralysis is very real. First world problem, though, of course, having so many awesome things to choose from that you just can't even begin to decide where to start. I spend more time looking at my Steam games list than playing anything!
Pick a game you want to complete and make a dedicate let’s play series! Then we can enjoy it along with you. :-)
I like this idea 👀
animal krosing is the lignans that Dinkum is more open world and survival mode. but cozy game
I want to love cult of the lamb, but I hate the dungeon crawling. I wish it was just the cult management.
I got like 80% through wylde flowers but by that time I lost interest because it felt more repetitive and slower paced by that point :/
Is it safe to say 80% is basically 100% if it's repetitive?? LOL
@@LetzPlayK right in my mind I basically finished it 😂
Watch the video "how to get back into a game according to science" by mark maxwell
i'm going to get booed out of brew crew, but acnh was so boring to me after a very short time. i think that the aimlessness of it just didn't work for me. wylde flowers in on my deck and I will get there eventually.
Lol we will never booo you! 🩵
Do you want kids? Do you only speak and understand English? Do you like country music?
My hot take; Animal Crossing is boring and more stressful than it's worth 😅🤷
You gotta get back in anch I would love to see it on stream 😭🤎🫶🏻
I consider this all the time! 🥹
@@LetzPlayK I hope it happens someday! 🥹
I have games I started and never finished (or didn’t even get very far), namely Stardew Valley (1.6 on Switch when 😭), and lots of the older Story of Seasons-type games that I wanted to love but just couldn’t get into. I also bought Wylde Flowers and Fae Farm and… haven’t played either yet. 🫣 If you return to one, I think it should be Wylde Flowers! It has great mechanics and a lovely engaging story, and you seemed really delighted by it. Plus, it’s the perfect cozy fall game. 🍁
Oooo that's a good point! Coming back to it this fall could be a fun idea!
paleo pines and my time at sandrock are definitely my top two from the games in the video, i loved watching you playing those games and i was instantly intrigued 🫶🏼 but personally i only play the sims 4.. there are so many games that i love watching other people play but i‘m just not a gamer and can‘t get into any other game but sims, which i‘m very disappointed in..
