such a shame only the character portraits look nice, the entire game feels empty and soulless, like they spent 5 years making a rip off stardew valley with 1/10th of its original charm lol
@@shun2702 Except, Stardew Valley is a subpar rip off of many Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games and lacks the character/town/animal charm of many games previously made by HM/SoS. So I fail to see your point on shitting on a different version of an HM/SoS farming sim. Stardew Valley isn't the end all, be all for farming sims. SDV is a very lacking farming game in comparison to better and more well established farming sims.
This looks like everything I ever wanted in a farming sim, beyond excited for this, and I hope it eventually comes out on the switch! Love the magic, cottagecore feel, and customization!
This looks like it takes pieces I love from so many different games and brings them all together. Can't wait to test it out! I'm especially curious about Friday at the inn!
Yay! Love that all seasons are accessible in early access - I can’t wait to play 🌱✨ really enjoyed playing the demo on stream. Think it may become a new favourite cozy game of mine 💕
one thing i love about the game is the sound design!! it’s retro and yet so new. it’s really well done. The villagers don’t talk but their little dialogue noises vary person to person! everything from walking to the rain sounds so lovely in this game!
my only complaint about the game is the days feel very short. I feel like I'm always rushing around to get somewhere only to be able to do it for 5 minutes before I have to go back to sleep
A had a rough experience with saving as well. My game crashed as I went to sleep - usually I save at the start of the day - and I had to redo a day or two as a result. Granted my game has not crashed since, it was only the one time, but now I save every night before bed just in case. I'm a 90's kid so it really just takes me back to that era of Final Fantasy where you had to manually save the game; I didn't even know it autosaved like you mentioned! Great review :]
I have a couple of issues with the game (mostly nitpicky) 1. I dont know how to pick up furniture, i looked in the control options, but i couldn't find anything about moving furniture after you had placed it. 2. I wish the days were longer. I'm always struggling to get back to my home before my character falls asleep. 3. I really dislike how small the inventory space is at the beginning of these games, i usually am able to work with it in other games. But the number of different tools that i need to have on me to be efficient takes up half of the first inventory bar that you start with. I was able to get the bag upgrade, but with the sheer amount of different items to forage and gather that im always having to choose what to leave behind to pick up the next day. I would have been ok with just going back and forth to drop off stuff at my farm. But the days are too short for that.
1- use you pickaxe. 2-upgrade you skill in the statue of dragon for get bonus for more recover in stamina. later you get more stamina advance more in the game history. 3-you get more big inventary buying in the shop upgrade.when you get more rank in you town doing quest can buy more upgrade.
Okay gotta ask, because this will make or break the game for me: when you run out of energy during the night, do you "pass out" like in Stardew Valley? And if you do, does someone like Harvey put you in bed and take your money? I ask because that is one of the things that pissed me off the most about my Stardew time and made me less inclined to play the game. Like...I'm okay if they take some of my stamina as a punishment, or even just LESS gold. But the punishment shouldn't be so severe.
@@maurapacheco251 Oh thank goodness, I'm 100% okay with that punishment! Seems fair. It actually made me dislike Harvey as a character in SV because like, I did not ASK for him to come and rescue me! And then take my money? Who does that? Imagine finding someone on the ground and dragging them home and then just taking money out of their pocket for your troubles, lmao. Glad this game doesn't do that!
You can use your pickaxe to dig up artifact spots, if you prefer to bring that along instead of the shovel in case you want to gather some stone while you're out and about, just to let everyone know. :)
I have been searching HOURS for a farming sim similar to Stardew Valley, and I stumbled across this one. And i am sold! Cannot wait to go home and play, it looks so adorable
Fun fact I had to learn because I missed it in a tutorial: You can use the pickaxe for the dig site as well. I assume also for regular buried stuff, but haven't tried it yet.
I have a genuine question and tried to research it myself and couldn’t find a real answer but I’m genuinely curious and want to learn and am in no way trying to be rude. Why would someone use she/he/they pronouns but not him/her? I know that’s not the point of this video, but I want to be knowledgeable and respectful 😄
For sure! For me it is that I am equally comfortable with folks using either she/her or they/them for me, and that my own gender identity is hard for me to pin down at times haha. But I think everyone's own personal experience with that will be slightly different so that just my own feelings on it!
@15:09 i don't think i understand - so if you save only in the journal, it won't cause issues? sorry, i listened to the explanation a couple times but it just didn't make sense to me! thank you for the great video, i loved it !
it sounds like the journal allows for multiple save files, while going to sleep is just one autosave file. i think if you were playing and realized you missed something from 2+ ingame days ago, you wouldn't be able to go back if you were just sleeping cuz that's just one save slot being overwritten every time you go sleep. what she explained in this video was, if you decide you want to have 2 playthroughs then you have to be careful cuz the game doesn't make a new autosave file. if you sleep, it'll overwrite the same autosave even though it's 2 different playthroughs. you would need the journal to keep more than one save file
I don't have a ton of furniture in game yet, but I do know the chair I have cannot be interacted with, and the only storage I've seen is the storage chest.
I have a question about the time mechanics. Is it just time progression of the day or is it "forced" time like in Stardew Valley? I do not enjoy the always looming deadline of "be back at the farm OR ELSE" time running out aspect. In what should be a relaxing and chill kind of game, this creates pressure and a bit of anxiousness when I want to relax! That's why I could never get into Stardew Valley.
It's like Stardew Valley. And the game is a farm sim RPG like Harvest Moon, people can find them relaxing but you have to improve how you administer time. The kind of game you want is something like Animal Crossing.
I actually loooove the fishing in this game. It also reminds me of Harvest Moon fishing almost but easier since you only have to tap it once but also you have to actively walk around to find fish instead like animal crossing which I also liked. I never liked Stardew Valleys fishing...
The lack of multiple saves is really a drawback, but in general I'm loving the game, specially the characters, specially the romanceable ones, I can't decide between Hayden and Valen xD
Ty for the warning! I had played once but when I selected continue (not load) it was starting me out with a fresh start! Got all panicked! Thankfully when I clicked load it let me load my last save. 😮💨
gret review! i think my personal issue is that you can only talk to the villagers once at a given time/location. i'd love being able to trigger a dialogue from them multiple times, even if their lines are repeated. even better if they have lots of dialogue changes! but again, i'm still at the beginning of the days--can you do that down the line or is it planned for their later updates?
I’m wondering if it’s not too similar to Stardew Valley for me, gameplay-wise … but I love the graphics already. There is something nostalgic about them 😌
It is similar in that is a farm sim, but I definitely there is more than enough unique story, gameplay, etc. to make it feel like it stands on its own!
can you switch combat to an “attack only if agitated” setting like in coral island? combat is always the thing that stresses me out about farming games haha
Does anyone know if the early access runs on the steam deck? The game looks so fun but there’s no info about the games compatibility so it anybody with a steam deck has played the game please let me know :)
These games lack a card mini game so bad Imagine a simple TCG where you battle each villager for a unique card, and you can find other in the world as you explore, buy booster on city market which contains random cards and maybe some rare ones, and a event is a championship My dream since harvest moon
As someone who just got Stardew Valley & I’m getting frustrated with the lack of in-game directions (I literally have no idea what I’m supposed to do), how easy is this game to play/ understand for a beginner?
This is easier than SDV to get your head around what to do. There is a lot of running around fulfilling orders from your neighbors and a lot of directed progression. I love SDV and the freedom it grants the player. But Fields of Misteria is fun and really easy to pick up.
You need to upgrade your crafting skill by crafting other stuff until level 4 (which the chest is locked at). I was super confused by this at first too!
Everybody knows it is worth a buy, look steam reviews better without spoilers.. Btw I really dont like bad resolution of your vid, my eyes bleeding.. Game looks much much smoother, than this..
you need to actually play it, it’s not like stardew. It’s more like classic harvest moon and has way more focus on the characters and lore. It’s also more mature.
Get over it. You use pronouns everyday. It is a basic part of the English language. They teach you about pronouns in grade school. Basic parts of speech. Find something important to be upset about and stop crying.
That warning about the saves is SO HELPFUL THANK YOU
I just want to save anyone I can 😅
@@laelindria your sacrifice has been appreciated 🙏🫰
which part of the video she said that?
@@catgirln it starts at 13:54 :)
Thank you for the heads up❤
Around what time should I save in the diary each day? Waking up, or going to bed?
every character in this game is extremely attractive idk who I want more but adeline is stealing my heart already
Listen the bi panic is real here
I really love the Shojo anime look. It looks like a magical, farming sailor moon looking life sim.
such a shame only the character portraits look nice, the entire game feels empty and soulless, like they spent 5 years making a rip off stardew valley with 1/10th of its original charm lol
@@shun2702terrible bait

I’m living so much for the pink and green color combo
sameeeee I adore it, even the fall looks kind of pink and it's gorgeous
This looks like everything I ever wanted in a farming sim, beyond excited for this, and I hope it eventually comes out on the switch! Love the magic, cottagecore feel, and customization!
It’s so lovely, I hope it comes to switch as well!
Sun Haven is another one that is very magic based that IS coming to switch soon :)
If you are ever able to, check out the ROG Ally. No more waiting for awesome games like this 😊

I agree. I hope they increase it to maybe 15 minutes.
Idk if I’ll buy it but March has my heart already
March is so fun to talk to. He’s amazing.

Yes!! Had to make sure and show that too cause I was blown away. Super inclusive all around, we love to see it
Is it THAT important?
Cringe

@@LeonStephan it is to ME
I really love the dialogue in this game, it feels so reactive and alive!
This will be my newest obsession! Thanks for the hints and tips. 😊
Of course! Thanks for watching!
im not gonna lie- i wish there was some drama on the game. Like somehow its kinda missing something because everyone just seems so happy.
you should talk to Balor more :D
@@mekabare im still mad that the stuff i give him (bc i wanna romance him) he sells it triple price..
I think it's a breath of fresh air after playing Stardew Valley for so long (where almost everyone is super depressed all the time lol)

Thank you hehe ❤
I was worried this game wouldn’t be very in depth but im pleasantly surprised and can’t wait to get it

Welcome to every farming game ever. The start is always difficult and frustrating, but you will get used to it.

Thanks for this very detailed review! I was thinking about picking it up and your enthusiasm convinced me. =)
Good video!
First time stumbling on your channel. I enjoy your narration and video composition! Subscribed!
Harvest Moon* this doesn't give me Stardew Valley vibes, which I'm glad for.
For me it feels like if Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley had a baby
I like the line player use in this game in relation to sailor moon. Fighting evil by midnight. Obsess in farming by daylight XD
You can use your pickaxe to dig up artifact spots, if you prefer to bring that along instead of the shovel in case you want to gather some stone while you're out and about, just to let everyone know. :)

can you switch combat to an “attack only if agitated” setting like in coral island? combat is always the thing that stresses me out about farming games haha
No, but combat is easy, you move fast and can jump, so it's easy to avoid enemies.

They'll only see if they'll port to anything else after the game leaves early access.

Its not finished you cant even marry or get to the end of the game, hence not worth playing yet!
It's early access, like the video mentioned.
the cooking thing reminds me a lot of the one in story of seasons pioneers of olive town
Say can you tell me how you got the Inventory expansion? Thanks!
in the town store where you get the seeds you can get the bag expansion
This looks so good, and it looks pretty robust for early access. Still I’m gonna try hard to wait till full release!
Such a great review thank you!

That's all..
Can you play as a man
You make your character. Did you watched the video?
can i play as a guy?
You make your character
Looks good but also it is definitely a Stardew valley clone. They could have taken it a but further in its own direction. That's my only nitpick.
you need to actually play it, it’s not like stardew. It’s more like classic harvest moon and has way more focus on the characters and lore. It’s also more mature.
You haven't played the game have you?
It feels way more Harvest Moon than Stardew Valley.
Boo 0/10 just for pronoun crap
Get over it. You use pronouns everyday. It is a basic part of the English language. They teach you about pronouns in grade school. Basic parts of speech. Find something important to be upset about and stop crying.
@@squirrelsinmykoolaid Don't waste time with trolls that don't even know how to put on a profile picture.
So Basically Stardew Valley Copy
Stardew valley is a copy of harvest moon. It’s almost as if they’re the same genre
after the pronoun shit I wont be buying this game
Womp womp. You won’t be missed!
this game was made for queer people and women anyway, you wont be missed
Character portraits are uuugly
I personally disagree but if it's not your personal taste that's fine!
it's ok, not everyone has good taste
I need the mobile version 🥲🥲🥲
so sad it isn’t on switch 🥲🥲
hopefully it will come!
Right? This game is one I would enjoy way more on the switch. Buuuut, I've enjoyed it on pc.
