Dec. 2024

It’s a shame that this game got so much hate when it was first released. Here in 2024, the devs fixed a lot of bugs and the game received awesome updates. Get it if you like Animal Crossing or relaxing decorate games in general. The game really opened up for me after I built the first house. It is only $3.99 when it is on sale. This game could be a hit if they could polish the character models and keep updating it with new areas and content. Personally, the models could be better but doesn't bother me too much. It is only $3.99 when it is on sale. I would even pay for an expansion DLC, but the devs are discouraged by the reviews, this might never happen. If you like relaxing gameplay you will like this. Please give it a try. Again, it is only $3.99 when it is on sale. It's a steal.

The game’s customization options are top-notch, letting you unleash your creativity and make everything uniquely yours. If you’ve been craving something like Animal Crossing but don’t have a Switch, Hokko Life is an awesome alternative! 🌟 It’s packed with charm, relaxing vibes, and plenty of fun activities to keep you entertained. Definitely a must-try for life-sim fans! 💕 100/10 really love it

Sept. 2024

My experience with Hokko Life was no where as negative as a lot of the other reviewers. I did refund it but that was mostly over performance issues and I can see myself giving it another chance on a different platform.

July 2024

Thanks to other reviews I didn't expect much of this game, and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't have bought it for full price, but on sale for £3.19, it's well worth a gander. Think of it as a knock-off junior Animal Crossing game, with more creative elements. It's slow to start, and monotonous and repetitive in a way that - for my autistic brain at least - is quite soothing. I think for kids particularly this would be a good start to the life sim genre, especially if they lean artistic. You can design your own 3D objects and furniture in the game, as well as paintings and designs later, with the ability to upload those for others to download and use too. I'm very grateful to the community of this game for their excellent designs, they've decorated my little town far better than I could alone. There's a few things that aren't so straight-forward that I had to google, like how you fish up treasure ( hook a fish in the orange part of the circle ) and where to obtain chalk ( mine the beach rocks ), but for the most part you follow the 'Mayor Merits' to unlock things as you go. Like Animal Crossing, there's no energy limit or need to sleep unless you want to, you can just potter about. It's not nearly as filled out as AC, but it's still being updated, and for under £4, I'm willing to forgive it quite a lot. It's a solid 6/10 and a good game to mindlessly wind down with.

June 2024

I've seen a lot of negative reviews about this game, mostly from people who only played for a few minutes to a few hours before quitting. I did the same when it first came out of early access, so I understand. But if you made a quick judgment, please give it another try. The game has a surprising amount of content. The pacing can be strange because you unlock things based on how much you play. If you only like to fish, it will be harder to progress. You need to spend time on the merit tree and get through the tutorial, as well as engage with other game features like planting, building furniture, designing, and shopping. While I don't mind it, I admit it makes the game harder to stay interested in if you prefer one activity over others. As for NPCs, it's not that they lack personality; they just lack physical movements and facial expressions. Compared to Animal Crossing, what a lot of fans miss are the cute little emotions and actions of villagers, like running up to you with new information or gifts, or walking around stomping after talking to another villager. It's mostly these physical movements and facial expressions that are missing. You also have a lot of NPC's that will join your town eventually if you continue playing like a Fashion NPC that acts as a vanity system so you can change your hair and clothes, and the fisherman and bug catcher, and surprisingly a lot more. Storage is another issue. It's there, but not clear when you start the game. It would help if there was always an option for storage in Ross's shop. That being said, the decoration abilities in this game are amazing. I love having unlimited areas to place items and redecorate. I love that you can redesign villager homes' interiors and exteriors for free, and that you can move your house at any moment without having to pay or wait 7 days. I do love that once you really get into the game and figure out storage, you can eventually build and disguise your own items, storage included. You can make a clothing rack or pretty much anything you want and use it as storage to avoid the usual big clunky chests games usually have. The game also has a really amazing item-building system. It's almost like being able to mod your game without needing to have mods or a "special switch" to do it. The option to place items snapped to a grid or unsnapped is life-changing. You can clutter or declutter any area with as much stuff as you want. I love being able to place things at an angle. There is no limit to creativity at all in this game. This game really does have some amazing features and good ideas. It makes me sad that because of the way it is set up, people don't always get to those features before they've given up due to little things. Hopefully, the developers will take all of the reviews into fair consideration when it comes to updates or future games.
