What players say
Honestly, love this game. Decide to hop on one day and get some progress done on my save and before I knew it I was 6 hours deep and it just progresses on and on, having almost 93 hours in the game I have finished the game and I am looking very much forward to the release of 1.0 Highly recommend the game
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
What i thought was going to be comfy quick farming game was blown out of the water. It is comfy and cozy, but farm more intricate than expected.
I cannot recommend this game for one pretty big reason. It's not the same game that I paid for back then. I played so many hours of this game on game pass, so I wanted to support the devs by buying a copy of it for myself. I took a break from the game and I didn't touch it for far longer after they first said something about removing Piper. That should have been a warning. Only now I'm picking it up for the 1.0...
