could have been so much more but as the free updates get rolled out i realize how they're all the same thing in a new coat of paint.
the game also tries really hard to be both the most convenient and inconvenient game in the series-- many qol changes like inventory expansion and crafting but you often get the same recipes over and over with no ability to decline them, etc.
I could go on, but I will end it at that i'm glad this game came out when it did. I needed the escape it provided back in the beginning of the pandemic, but the longer I stay away the more I don't see myself returning unfortunately.
