I have mixed feelings here. It started off awfully, with the new mechanics coming too slowly to make the gameplay interesting. If you get past the first 5-10 hours and let the game really open up, though, it gets really fun. Unfortunately, that fun turns to endless grinding and waiting around for plot elements to occur for the last quarter of the game, which made me lose a lot of my enjoyment factor again. Overall, if you have played all of the other big name farming games and want a new one, it wasn't a wholly bad experience, but I'd definitely recommend others over this one.
