Kynseed is a game that I followed since early access. That said, I didn't buy the game until after many of the newest updates. It has gone through SO MANY changes and updates that makes this game now one of my top favourites on Steam besides Stardew Valley. I have noticed it's being compared a lot to SDV and Story of Seasons (Harvest Moon for the old school lovers). And I have to say that comparison is completely off the mark for me. Yes, Kynseed has farming, fishing and cooking that gives it a similar vibe to SDV of SoS but that's where the similarities end for me personally. Kynseed is SO much more, in my opinion. It has so many more mechanics when it comes to mini-games, owning a shop, the battles against monsters in the Woods, the story and lore that goes with it. Even the cooking is so different (I especially have a hate-love relationship with the soup making) The characters you meet, the skills and funny traits you can sometimes find on your neighbours or yourself can cause comical interactions (looking at you Flatulence trait) and the best part (again) for me personally, is the fact that you can waste away your days without being forced to sleep as an adult. I love that I can take my time with both the story and my character. If I want to offer all my years of life to Fairweather to get all the arcane items, no problem! You get an orphan to take the Kynseed over from you and begin anew. Or if you got married and had kids, any adult child can be your heir and voilà ... new start with more traits and better stats (because of course the next gen is always better LOL XD) The world of Kynseed is your oyster. For me this is perfect, I don't have to min-max anything, I don't need to be perfect, I don't have to rush to get things done because there is no time constraint. To someone like me this is relaxing AF. All that said and done, the only negative point I personally have with Kynseed is the star rating conditions of nearly everything. OMG I'm mean seriously, if there's anything that could use a bit of QoL update it's that. Some items like fruit or fish have such specific star rating requirements that I just ignore it most of the time, unless I need high quality for skills trees or if I just got lucky. All in all if you're like me and you love taking your time just running around gathering items, or forging at the blacksmith or being the best cook in all the Havens or sharpening your weapons to take on all the monsters or owning every single shop the Havens have to offer or simply raising a family and watch as the generations after you grow up... Then Kynseed is the place to be.

Kynseed is a beautifully done generational rpg game, It can be painfully pun-y at times, and maybe a little cheesy, but: -the story is great -the fishing isn't a massive pain. -there's lots of different stuff to spend your time doing -the characters are diverse and constantly changing (albeit they can be a *bit* weird at times) - after adulthood you don't *have* to sleep and there isn't an energy bar so you can just do stuff as much or as little as you want. If you enjoy fairy-tales and slightly cringe worthy jokes, Kynseed is a great game to check out.

The big build update partially fixes the reason I stopped playing a few weeks after launch - no compelling reason to make money or own a business. I found it baffling that so much of the gameplay was about selling things, operating a shop, etc. and there was essentially nothing interesting to do with money. Except…buy another shop. However, I do hope and wish there is an NPC update in the works. It feels really disappointing to hear the same few lines of dialogue over and over. Makes me feel like there’s no reason to talk to or do anything for these NPCs. And call me uptight, but there is only a certain amount of scatalogical humor that a person over 12 can take. Especially when it’s on repeat. And this might just be me, but I have a super hard time telling the NPCs apart visually when they’re just walking around. I’ve never had this problem with any other game, so it’s kind of strange. Still, it’s a good game. My personal preferences might not be yours, so give it a try.

Ok, if you're old like me you might remember that on ABC in the late 90s/early 00s they had a limited series about Merlin and there was a general obsession with Camelot/fantasy that felt super magical. This *feels* like that. The depth of lore, the humor, the ART STYLE. This game has heart, it has a vibrant identity that sets it apart from other "cozy farm sims". The roots run deep and can be dark, but it's such a compelling world that has been built here. 8.5/10. It's definitely a must play!

It took 27 hours to figure out why I couldn't tell if I liked the game or not. I think I finally figured it out, there's a large disconnect between the feel of the game and how you're supposed to play the game. Time is your biggest resource in this game and unlike similar games, you do have a life span in this one. The way the game starts you off and drip feeds you makes you feel like you're constantly behind as you decide what to pursue so what little time you have isn't wasted. Pair that feeling with a fast (but still reasonable) hour clock and you start to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff you have to do. It takes awhile to realize that you really need to sit and chill. Dont rush anything, the story/ies are told through your generations not your initial starting character. It really is a weird hoop to jump through with the rest of the game telling your senses something different. I do recommend this game for anyone that already enjoys this style of farm/life sim, but if you're new to the genre I would start somewhere else before coming onto this or you may get put off altogether. I'm sure you will see many more hours on my account after this review. (this review is from going into the game blind a month after The Big Build Update, which seems to have added a lot to the game's depth)
