This is the first time (it may not be the only time!) I've had a Let's Play convince me that this is the game of the year, without me playing it myself. I've completely run out of interest in stories about saving the world, so a life-or-death real estate mystery grabs me immediately. Luckily, this one is well told and acted all the way through.

before i started this game i thought it was just tough gangster men suffering through cringey scenarios, but i wasn’t expecting a cinematic, hard-boiled crime drama that tore at my heart strings, it honestly blows my mind how well this game focuses on two protagonists. all the events that happen throughout both Kiryu and Majima’s stories ended with such a satisfying pay off with a heartfelt honor to it’s future titles (even that iconic outfit scene had me tearing up 😤)
ahh i can't stop thinking i'm fucking amazing, but overall: phenomenal cinematic direction, incredible voice acting, and fantastic characters, with very minor issues. the contrast of humor and seriousness truly reached heights beyond my expectations. i really love this game.

This game is the perfect storm for me. It’s got so many different elements that I love. It’s farming, monster raising, life sim. There are so many elements.
The story is sweet and all the characters are great. You get to know everyone so much and it makes the whole town feel so alive.
The farming is great. The dungeons are great. It has insane QoL features. The trophy room under the castle has so much. Difficulty settings, fan art, record keeping. It’s such a great idea.
My one slight issue is the town events. Because they are random, they can cause a little bit of frustration especially when you need a certain event but keep getting a different one.

Very well-made farming RPG with obvious charm and surprising depth.
+ incredibly colorful cast of lovable characters who constantly interact with the player and each other
+ well-designed hub city that exudes liveliness
+ intricate farming and crafting mechanics
+ ubiquitous level-up system rewarding even the most mundane activities
+ decent action combat made great by endless customization options
+ monster taming that even extends to bosses
+ simple but appealing story divided into three parts
+ sweet hour-long bonus content in the "Newlywed Mode" and "Another Episode"
- some practically impossible difficulty spikes without the abuse of hidden mechanics or easy mode
- random nature of town events hindering story or relationship progress for potentially dozens of hours
