After a long break (started playing this in March) I finally finished (or decided to stop playing it after 86 hours) this game. The last things I did were the stable (I can’t believe I only had the horse for half an hour, it was so satisfying to ride it everywhere) and Pam’s house. But I didn't have any more missions to do besides completing the collection (I also forgot that I had access to the Q door in Ginger Island, whoops). I thought about getting all the hearts with Leo and Sandy, but I couldn’t be bothered (Leo is a sweet boy though! Surprisingly good character).
Good:
- Beautiful graphics, relaxing music, and a very cute presentation overall.
- Growing crops is so satisfying.
- Cutest farm animals I've ever seen, you get emotionally attached to all your cows and chickens, I would never sell them.
- I love that the town is pescatarian, I am a vegetarian myself.
- I love meeting everyone and giving them gifts, and you get a lot of cutscenes in the first two years, so you feel like you actually know the characters as you interact with them in different ways.
- There’s lots and lots of extra content, including a Terraria action segment, a fishing mechanic, a desert, a tropical island, and a ton of secrets (that I had to look up online, cause who plays anything blind anymore).
Bad:
- The representation kinda sucks. The game is 95% white, there’s three redhead women, it’s impossible to tell them apart. And everyone is straight, except for the romance candidates, who can adapt to your gender, but if you don’t choose them they are coded as straight.
- And I almost didn’t play the game because all the romance candidates look borderline underage, despite the fact that there are hot single people around. I wanted to date Clint so bad, but the game cockblocked me, and I was forced to choose Harvey, who was like my 5th option (after Willy, Gus and Linus).
- It gets progressively more repetitive despite the sizable amount of content. The morning routine gets taxing, and, mainly, the people around you never evolve besides some dialogue changes when you say hi to them. During the festivals they are stuck in the same dialogue loop, so the festivals become a chore and you end up avoiding them like the plague.
Next time I play it I have to install a mod to date Clint. If I could marry Clint I would give it 5 stars, but the developer decided to piss me off. It would also be nice to have the mod to pair up people that you don’t date, and the one where the villagers change their outfits depending on the season.
