I was watching a few youtube videos highlighting new and fun farming-sim games and Wylde Flowers was on a lot of people's radar, so I decided to try it out myself.

I didn't fall in love with the game immediately. In fact, I stopped playing for a few months after the first few hours. Even now I don't really remember what turned me off initially. My sister was looking for a cosy game after a while and I recommended this game to her. She got absolutely addicted and told me to pick it back up and that I won't regret it. Turns out... she was right. What a truly magical experience this was.

The voice acting is so good and it really makes the characters come alive, you actually want to listen to what they have to say. Plus, I think it is just the right amount of characters, cause the social aspect can be a little bit exhausting in games like this one. Wylde Flowers also has a really good and surprisingly emotional story I got really invested in. Gameplay wise it's simple but a lot of fun. Altough I found it a bit frustrating to be stuck in the story because of some items I just couldn't find for ages. Also the beginning of the game is very slow because your stamina goes down very fast and money making is so hard (there are some tricks to solve those issues though, if you want to make it a really chill experience without any form of stress or frustration).

Overall I actually felt sad when the credits rolled. And even though there is more to do after finishing the story I am at the point where I am okay with putting the game down and I will look back at it with great memories.
