The game follows the classic Metroidvania structure, with addition of RPG farming/grinding elements and different possibilities of builds.

The battles are nice, specially the bosses that required some strategy and pattern memorization.

I had fun experimenting a bit and farming for better equipment while progressing for the first 20 or so hours. After that point, the entire loop began to bore me.

Farming for materials to get the next slightly better weapon or armor was not enough to keep me engaged, specially when I was lost in the map and didn't know where I was supposed to go.

The game also seems to not know exactly what to do with some of its elements. One example is the system of resistances and weakness to certain types of attack, but not only is this system irrelevant to combat, the games does not give any options to you actually make builds considering those mechanics. There are also the weapon techiniques, which I tried by best to explore and even liked the "parry + counter" one a lot, but that's the only one I actually could manage to master by the end of the playthrough.

Overall, it is a nice game with fun combat and an okay crafting system. The problem is that it just overstays its welcome.

A heartwaming and easy going visual novel, I really enjoyed it.

This was basically the first VN I ever played, and I found it to be very charming. The games prioritizes your freedom to have any kind of experience you want, without having to worry about it.

Cove will fall in love with you, regardless. So you don't need to stress about choosing the "right" answers. You may also customize your appearance, gender and pronoums to your liking.

The game also has an interesting system where Cove's personality is not set in stone. As you grow up together, some of your personality will change Cove as well, in his ways of thinking, acting and also his appeareance. As someone who is kind of sensitive and easily absorbs some traits from the people I like, this feature made me emphatize a lot with the character.

Of course, if you want your Cove to be a certain way without worring you'll change him into someone you're not too fond of, you can customize his appearance and personality mannually too.

This games tries it best to be welcoming to as many people it can, and brings you an endearing experience you can customize to best fit whatever you desire.

I'm look forward to buying all the DLC and trying new paths in this game in the future.

I really liked the first hours of this game. The scenario is beautify, the small story is enganging and the loop is nice. Until it kinda just becomes too much...?

Maybe it was my fault for not being able to manage correctly the resources of the game, but by the end of it I couldn't do anything besides collect the resources and feed my slimes. Even went ahead to do so automated processes, but it was not quite enough and I just felt overwhelmed by the loop.

I guess cozy farm games are not for me, I can't see myself enjoying this kind of gameplay in Stardew Valley or others.
