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.

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)

This is a game unlike Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, in my opinion, and is more than just running a farm and forming relationships with locals. While you can still do all that if you wish, in my experience, all that kind of went on the back-burner the moment I got out of the prologue and was allowed to leave the town. This is like the Fable series, with a bit more life sim thrown in it. Which makes absolute sense, as the devs are ex-Lionhead. Relationships themselves are much more simpler than those in other farm sims. You can learn more about an npc as you raise hearts with them, and some even have simple cutscenes recounting something that happened to them in the past. The things you learn are basic; one guy doesn't want to be a vegetarian, but is because of his wife. Another is a child of a Fae. You kind of just learn one "big" thing about them and that's the extent. However, it's very easy to make friends with the npcs, which is something I really like. It's less stressful, in my opinion, and easy to gain "FP" by running errands, or giving them items they like. I don't think there's "decay" either, that or it's very unnoticeable. Marriage (while I've only just gotten married in game) seems to take the Fable approach of "just come and see them every once and awhile". There's not much to marriage outside of raising heirs and having farm automation. Again, something I like. I don't want to be stressed about my marriage while adventuring, nor do I care about romance in a game that doesn't offer that sort of thing. You marry someone to help make you money, and I'm down with it. There's a lot in here that seems like a nod to the Fable series, which is comfy and nostalgic to me, as someone that's played the series since I was a kid. It's got that humour, along with game mechanics that are similar in ways. You even have the dog constantly barking at you because there's a dig spot nearby. From my understanding, this game is a "delivery" on a few of the promises Peter Molyneux made for the first Fable game, such as planting a tree and watching it grow, slowly growing old, and your children picking up the adventure where you left off once you kick the bucket. If you're looking for a game EXACTLY like SDV or HM/SoS, I would maybe look elsewhere, or watch people play this (past the prologue, as the game feels different playing as an adult vs being a kid) to form your own opinion on if you'd like it or not. If you don't like Fable, I have doubts that you'd like this game. But for those that do, this game could be right up your alley, ESPECIALLY if you liked the "life" activities in those games. Sorry to talk so much about Fable but it seems like this is not common knowledge!! Fable!!!

-:Before the Big Build Update:- So, Game has an interesting mechanic of generations, making into the combats and skills making you stronger along side the farming sim genre. Figured I'd give it a chance once it was out of Early Access. The Art/Graphics - The art is amazing. Its whimsical, gorgeous to admire and in terms of the animation, its fluent and has all prospects of mood and atmosphere. I have no complaints in the art department. Music - Perfectly whimsical, laid back when its needs to be, appropriate for each area (My favorite would be Mellowbrook and the other realms like E'ergreen and Tir Na Nog) Combat - I was caught off guard with the combat mechanics of this game but once I had re-adjust myself and familiarise myself akin to the Megaman Network Series, It got easier from here. Using items felt forgotten for me sometimes (but that's more of me problem as I forget the button or the option to use the existed half the time, so that's less of the dev's fault than mine feel) Also it was frustrating not knowing when the pets would use their abilities, there was no timer or bar to indicate the strike or stun ability. Story - In the beginning, it was kinda interesting? Jabbawock, Kynseed, Mr Fairweather, prophecy all that. but once you hit adult hood it kinda became lackluster? It kinda became a Point A to Point B scenario where other than levelling up gear, stores and all that it got boring for a while... Everything else - Romance kinda felt like mechanic rather than an investment, owning stores was neat but it got boring after a while, then it became an achievement hunter once I "descended" to my next child and it became a rinse and repeat scenario... I had to wait for the next update before things got interesting. -:BIG BUILD UPDATE:- Okay, ever since I saw the big build update launch, I couldn't help but get curious and see if anything has made any improvements to the game. But to my surprise, so much more has been added to the game, it felt like a much more different game that I played almost a year ago. Customization, Added story that fleshed out characters and the world of the game. And my god, something as adding a timer to PETS TO KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO ATTACK?! It was like a dream that I struck a deal with Mr Fairweather himself! Hell he seems more fleshed out in this update! He even sends me ads to coax me into selling more of soul- I mean years of my life for trinkets! The Art is still gorgeous but I get to witness more of it with the customization added into it with decorations, functional or otherwise. Everything is just better than I hoped for. MY only personal complaint is... I feel the state of the game it is now is what the game should've been on launch or out of Early Access (if I recall) rather than the game I started playing Almost a year ago as it felt like a Beta or Early Alpha of the game Stage I guess. But that's just personal opinion. As where Kynseed is now, It's great for people are looking for a fresh take on the Stardew/Havest moon Games and are looking for a new Farming sim game to play during their break or to explore in general

This game is brilliant. I've been playing since early access and the growth this game has been through is insane. This latest update allows us to customize our home/farm and really touches on QOL updates we've been looking for. I also love that I'm being rewarded for exploring and completing tasks, this really makes me want to do EVERYTHING. This game is huge, lots of areas to explore and so much to do - I can't stop playing. The lore and the dialogue is hilarious. I love that they keep it age appropriate but the riddles and innuendos don't go unnoticed. I recently explored a very 'adult' area and couldn't stop laughing at the stone sculptures and the dialogue. This game is refreshing and the combat is difficult but overall, it's one of the best I've played in a LONG time. Kynseed needs more hype, it's so freakyn good.
