I just bought No Man's Sky but I can't get to grips with it at all (even on relaxed mode). There's such a lack of tutorial and I can never land the ship so, at least for now, I've uninstall it. Good job it was half price! Will chalk that one up to experience.
Been playing Dave the Diver for a while now and I’m so impressed by it. So much content, so quirky and charming, and the gameplay style changes so drastically so often that it’s nearly impossible to get bored. Some of the most fun I’ve had playing a new game in a while, highly recommend.
I put about 30 hours into Spirit Tea and only got about 20% through the story, so there is definitely a lot of content. But I stopped playing because some of the quests were not very intuitive. I found myself looking up guides more often than I would have liked and it kind of takes some of the fun out of it tbh
@@NintenTalk I didn’t even notice that it doesn’t have combat 🤣 I’m fine with it tho bc Fae Farm has way too much combat for me. And in coral island I turned combat off 😅
I’ve been playing Roots of Pacha on steam and it’s soooooo good! Edit: I think I like it because it doesn’t have combat lmao I like just having a calming, chill game where I can mine and not worry about monsters lol
I've been obsessed with fae farm since the day it came out. Been thinking about getting the Roots of Pachea but agreed there's no fighting!!! That should totally be an add-on.
I have played about 18 hours of FaeFarm so far and it feels unfinished. I did not manage to emotionally connect to any of the characters. I have now played 32 hours of Roots of Pacha and am still totally addicted and love all of the characters (although i cannot tell the two old grannies apart if they are not sitting next to each other 😂). The dialogues are different every day and give you useful information about other characters. I do not like reading a lot, but in Roots of Pacha I read every single word because it is worth it.
I am almost done with my first run on Roots of Pacha. I am a completionist for the most part so I am still working on breeding the rare colors of animals, etc. I like it so much, I just bought it for my Switch. I bought Spiritea and find the sauna part with the spirits tedious and I hate the fishing.
Oooh bit gutted you weren't keen on SpiritTea! I've picked it up while it was on offer but its a post Xmas gift to myself for when I have the house to myself after guests have left and I can chill and play games and eat food! I also picked up Coffee Talk in the Nintendo Black Friday sale as though it looked cosy but again its to play post Xmas. Hoping I will enjoy both if not more Stardew which I can never get enough of!
I always love hearing your reviews and thoughts about all these games, and am glad I got to learn about some new games in this one, and also want to buy all the ones you listed! So excited for the fae farm realm!!
I loved the FeaFarm, and I did not know I will get DLC for free on my switch :D The game was worth for me already and now I will get extra value? What a nice christmas present :D
I played Dave the Diver on free trial and it got me hooked! 😂 Probably buying it, at least if it goes on sale. Also played Fae Farm on free trial, it was fun and has beautiful visuals, but there was too much mining for me. Maybe I will pick it up if the DLCs are good 🐸 I want to get Roots of Pacha too, it seems so good. But I'd wish there was combat too, prehistoric times must have been far from peaceful.
I love SpiritTea! It’s grind-y but pleasantly, not farming. I like the story. I think fans of Cozy Grove would enjoy. I can play it to wind down before bed and I love that.
Thanks for your take on faefarm, makes it more reasonable! And I recently bought Wytchcraft cause of the huge sale, I'm over five hours ingame and I love it!! It runs fluently on the Switch, has pretty short loading screens (what suprised me the most) and it looks absolutely gorgeous!
I had been hoping the new Fae Farm DLC would involve adding some dimension to the NPCs, but it doesn't look like it. ☹️ Maybe it will beef up the story at least. 🤞🏻
Thank you for video and I agree with all you have said it here👍👍 ,Fea farm I play about 120 hours so far still enjoyed 😂and after have all the flowers i take my time to make on the land( the garden 😅 in the founs of the the 3 house that I own on fea farm 😅 and make them look different in different theme ... i just try to take our all that I can enjoy from it, and I can't wait for DLC 😅 ,i love animals crossing and now fea farm because not feel too much stress
Roots of Pacha did look like a cool game, but the no combat is definitely a disappointment. If it goes on sale I MIGHT pick it up, but that one will probably be a skip for me. That NintenDogs knock off though? I'm definitely still thinking about that one. Great video, Pat! It would have been better with a mic stand, but I digress.
The thumbnail of this video shows a picture of a physical version of Roots of Pacha. But I can't find the physical version anywhere. Is that a fake, edited picture, or can you really get this game physically? Also, is Pixel Cafe digital only? Can't find that either.
Its a little weird that you recommend fae farm when everything Ive seen of it is that it's literally not worth the money. but you dont recommend roots of pacha?? Why? Really strange. Do you just not like the art style or something?
Combat is a deal breaker for me in any game. I simply can’t handle it. That being said, I agree that it would round out Pacha well, but I might try out the game now knowing it doesn’t. spirittea is my jam right now and I’m having fun with the bath house but the mini-games aren’t my favorite.
I really liked Roots of Pacha and was hyped for it, but then I grew bored of it. The mechanics do not appeal to me and it just feels like a generic farming game. I love farming games, but I do not know why, I just feel bored with it. Maybe because I did not find much of a goal in the game? There were achievements, but I do not feel like there was a big main story goal. It felt more like a side goal...
I actually think roots of pacha is so worth it, there is so much to do and so much story in this cute little game, I actually love there not being a combat aspect and it having puzzles and befriending animals and other tribes rather than fighting them
I think I like that Roots of Pacha has no combat, imo. I like that I can just kick back and relax and not worry about tough battles after I’ve been on my feet at work for 10 hours and just want to shut my brain off. 😅
I second this! I loved the first Cattails and the second seems like a step up! I'm starting the second game soon, just trying to finish some backlog games.
Spiritea was a bit disappointment for me. But thankfully for once, a game I was super excited about had a demo available, and so I had the good sense to download it and play it before what I thought would be a quick purchase. I didn’t buy it. I didn’t get through the demo. I am a huge Ghibli fan, I had played Stardew three times now… I would have thought Spiritea would totally be my thing. I’m 41 years old, and it legitimately reminded me of a game I would of played back in 1994, not 2024. Clunky, dated, slow dialogue, forced to follow characters, frustrating, no relationships to build, no soul. Hated it.
I got my PC version Fae Farm when it’s on sale (when the Asia edition is cancelled), totally worth it. I love the graphics so much and still in the midst of finishing the main story. I’d skip the DLC though, not a fans of frog.
While I get what you're saying about the theme and living in a dangerous world, I think the fact that Roots of Pacha doesn't have combat makes me want to get it more! I don't like combat in my cozy games, unless it's turn-based like Ooblets. I don't like any real-time aspects in video games due to my slow reflexes, so fishing is also challenging for me unless it's very simple. I wish I had waited on Fae Farm for a sale because it was so broken at the beginning and the time was way too fast. I'll get back to it, but I'm waiting for them to stop time in all menus, decorating still wastes too much time, and hopefully give the option to slow down time as well. Wylde Flowers spoiled me on how much control I had over the time. But I am happy the first Fae Farm DLC was announced. Now I'm seeing more value from how much I paid for the game.
I love roots of pacha!!! Pixel cafe has potential but it is BRUTALLY HARD and NOT COZY at all hahah. especially on the third place. They should have a difficulty setting because it is absurd
Spirittea has become one of my favourite games. 😂 I don't like the pixel graphics, but I love the gameplay and the bathhouse. It can be difficult to find the spirits and I google for help often, but I really love this game.
I appreciate your comments but have to disagree on Fae Farm. While it is well made and has some great quality of life aspects I do not feel it is worth the high price tag. With no real npc dialogue and interactions, the different zones you open felt too similar and became a wash, rinse and repeat. I think those who like to decorate might get more out of it than I did because I don't enjoy decorating. But I lost interest way too soon for the money I paid.
You’re definitely right about roots of pacha lacking combat. What a missed opportunity! It would’ve been so awesome to go like mammoth hunting and totally slay a mammoth or something. That being said I totally freaking suck at combat so who am I to suggest that lol
Dawn of Man on PC is a realistic version of Roots of Pacha and more dark but it does start at the primitive era and you can hunt Mammoths with your villagers. It’s single player though. Not sure if Ark Survival Evolved is kind of similar to the multiplayer aspect?
What NEW Nintendo Switch games are you playing!?

Yeah the quests weren’t that well designed, I got so lost lol
Roots of Pacha truly stole my heart. Thanks for talking about it I really think it deserves way more hype than some other games got this year!
It’s really solid so far! I’m liking it way more than I thought I would

I totally get that 😂😂
Is the game a long game ?
I've been obsessed with fae farm since the day it came out. Been thinking about getting the Roots of Pachea but agreed there's no fighting!!! That should totally be an add-on.
I wish they would Atleast add it via DLC 👀
I agree 100%
I sunk 15 hours into Fae Farm just in the 6 day free trial period. Excited for the DLC
I have played about 18 hours of FaeFarm so far and it feels unfinished. I did not manage to emotionally connect to any of the characters.
I have now played 32 hours of Roots of Pacha and am still totally addicted and love all of the characters (although i cannot tell the two old grannies apart if they are not sitting next to each other 😂).

Counting the days til the Fae Farm DLC

Harvestella!!! I am obsessed
Such a good game!!
I wouldnt suggest Fae Farm if you are not a completionist as once u finish the main story, it gets so boring
I love SpiritTea! It’s grind-y but pleasantly, not farming. I like the story. I think fans of Cozy Grove would enjoy. I can play it to wind down before bed and I love that.

Same!
Got Pixel Cafe the first day it came out. Been having a good time with it . Love the music!

My new favorite series of yours. Saving me so much money lol

Dave the Diver is quite the fantastic game, but it is far from Indie. Maybe that is why it has its price.
yOu NeEd tO gEt a MiC sTaNd
Not Luis beating me to it 😂
Came here looking for this and found it! Nice work Luis...
I like many aspects of roots or pacha, but the the time during the day goes soooo fast, that it stresses me and I ended up dropping it
Roots of Pacha did look like a cool game, but the no combat is definitely a disappointment. If it goes on sale I MIGHT pick it up, but that one will probably be a skip for me.
That NintenDogs knock off though? I'm definitely still thinking about that one.

LMAO!! Thanks DarthPhoenixSavannah
@@NintenTalk oh my lord not the full name 😂
I will look at roots of patch a just because of the no fighting. I’m playing moonlighter now. I love it and I got it on sale for $4
Moonlighter is one of my favorites 🧡
Subscriber Log day 56: “Pat has again posted a video about cozy games, will keep you posted”
I love combat so I'm sad to hear Roots of Pacha doesnt have any at all, but it does look like a cool game and I love the neolithic twist
Will you be playing the DLC Fea Farm live?
I’m going to try and play some Fae Farm so that I can play the DLC yeah!
@@NintenTalk nice, I am very much looking forward to see what your farm is looking like.❤️
I would like roots of pacha to have combat, it's one of the reasons why I can't decide...
Why are you holding your mic instead of using a mic stand
😂
🎉😂

Been super into Dave the Diver & the Lego Fortnite mode!!!
On the fence with Fae farm. The dates or npc stories are at least cute? I've heard the npc interactions are a bit on the plain side
10:57 is a youtube drawer name jazza game i thought the art look familiar
"It puts you against the clock" is literally the opposite of the definition of a cozy game
Would love to see a video about your opinions on the Fae Farm DLC Pat😁🎃
Its a little weird that you recommend fae farm when everything Ive seen of it is that it's literally not worth the money. but you dont recommend roots of pacha?? Why? Really strange. Do you just not like the art style or something?

ive been waiting for the dlc for fae farm. i think ill wait for the 2nd dlc to purchase the game
Personally I don’t like combat in farming games. I really liked how far farm did it so I didn’t have to do it.

Do you make any other video games types other than cozy games, also I do have a few more questions you may be able to help me out with
I actually think roots of pacha is so worth it, there is so much to do and so much story in this cute little game, I actually love there not being a combat aspect and it having puzzles and befriending animals and other tribes rather than fighting them

Roots of Patcha is next on my list to buy. I’m kind of liking that there is no combat.
Obsessed with roots of pacha. Bought it after your game play! where I could see combat fitting in, I actually dislike combat so it works for me!
Would like to throw Cattails: Wildwood Story ibto the mix. Just came out and is on a slight sale. First game was enjoyable.
I second this! I loved the first Cattails and the second seems like a step up! I'm starting the second game soon, just trying to finish some backlog games.
Roots of Pacha is 1000% with it! It does farming sim in a bit of a different way and it’s one of the best I’ve played in a long time!
3:20 Absolute hard disagree. 25.99 for Roots of Pacha is a steal. It's just that good.
Have you played Wylde Flowers yet? You said you might try it (and it's soooo good!)
It’s on the list!! I keep getting recommended
Spiritea was a bit disappointment for me.

My sister loves roots of pacha
I've gone back to the one they're all compared to and started a new farm in Stardew Valley - can't put it down.
My kiddo wanted the puppy one and I just looked on Amazon and it’s $14.99!
Oooo that’s a great price!
This channel is all I was looking for!! amazing.
You know tonight is the last time you can purchase the Ultimate Edition of Disney Dreamlight Valley. Just saying.........
I've been addicted to faefarm
The T at the end is silent passpartout 2 It’s supposed to sound French 😊
I played the demo of dave the diver and didnt like it. It felt like id get boring quickly. Im not paying more than like 8 bucks
Noo no combat I'm good
Jazza fave game 😁🤣

Started to play Hogwarts leagacy and its not that bad with the graphics. Absolutely not so crisp as on other consoles but i like it on the switch.
Iv been playing my time at sandrock have been obsessed and currently on the fence on if I should buy roots of pacha or coral island next
Do you have another better alternative to Spirittea? (You said there are other games like it, i mean)
I really like the idea of it!
Imo roots of pacha and dave the diver are MUST BUYS 😊
Just restarted Disney Magical Worlds 2
Is there gonna be another holiday island contest this year?
Couldn't do a pig emote so here is a pig emoji 🐷😊
