This game is freaking adorable and charming. All the characters feel so well loved in terms of character design - they all have their own little quirks that makes them special and unique. This is one of the few games where i didn't have too much difficulty remembering everyone; bc they're all so special, but also because the dialogue shares things about them that you can remember them by, and it does so in a really organic way. I love the diversity of the community - from age, gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, and background, the variety of characters is incredible and feels very natural.

Love that it's fully voice acted, very accessible, and gives multiple gameplay options for how fast you want your days to go. I'm a huge fan of farming games and love how the farming/gathering aspect intersects so naturally with the community and story elements. I won't give much away but this is definitely not your average farming simulator. I also love that it doesn't feel overwhelming from the jump - you can gently make your way through learning new things and expanding what you're able to do.

This is SUCH a worthwhile pick, an incredible game, and i'm so excited to keep playing it!
