What players say
This game is cute and sweet. I have enjoyed similar Harvest Moon-type games before. I will say though, this one is more for children.
This game has a nice mixture of classic farming sim mechanics and modern crafting themes. I've enjoyed it quite a bit through a couple of playthroughs. Linux support is spotty but playable. DLC does not work under proton at the moment.
A really relaxing game, but that's it. At day 7 i found myself wondering what to do. Couldn't think of anything. There is not much to do except for the basic farming game stuff. I did not feel challenged by the game to reach a certain goal. There are a lot of cutscenes in the game which lead to nothing and make no sense. I bought the DLCs, those do not add much either. There is nothing special about the islands...
