just buy the limited edition version this one is broken its probably is missing some code

Dec. 2024

Be prepared to suffer some serious hand cramps as you hold down SHIFT to sprint everywhere doing endless fetch quests! Cute, great story, a tug on the heartstrings. So much running though... -_- It pays to have at least 5 of anything in your inventory just in case someone asks for something. Once you have some cash you can fast travel. A bit buggy as hell, but if you exit and re-enter the game, or just finish off the main quests then it seems to sort itself out. Pro-tips: * You need money, and it can be hard to come by. Buy cotton seeds from Caleb. Then make wooden boat models to sell back to him. It's a lucrative money making scheme. You're going to need money! * You have max of 99 items in a stack, so don't bother harvesting anything that'll take you over. Sell the excess or make things to sell. * Don't try to find all the mail crabs, there is a bug, and two of them cannot be found - ever. Just don't even bother. * Once you can get pigs, get cheap carrot seeds from Caleb (along with your cotton seeds) and feed your pigs. 4 pigs fed = truffles. Sell truffles to pirates for mega bucks! * During some events your fast travel won't work anymore, it's not a bug, it's a "feature"... * Go back to the lighthouse after the end game, there is one more quest!

Nice enough? With eye-pleasing graphics, no choice of a protagonist. Got its own little charm, unlike epic farming simulators (like Sandrock or others).

Fully completed the achievements on this game. Would I recommend this game? Yes, but not to everyone. It's ok as an indie title and was clearly an early title for the dev. Wouldn't buy it unless it was on sale for more than 50% off. All in All score: 6.5/10 Read on for longer review. Gameplay: 7/10 It has some fun elements but the game loop is a little... boring. Travel to get quests, travel home, get items, travel to complete quest. The only reason you do anything is to complete the quests. Many of the islands in the game are for merely collecting resources a couple times and then never needed again. There's very little reason to go to them after the initial visit and you collect the single unique resource and then bring it back to grow on your island. They're also pretty bland for the most part. maybe there's an npc or an empty house, but not a lot going on. The only reason i wouldn't lower this score is because building things on your island and seeing your island grow was mildly fun, despite the appearance of freedom to design your island being fairly limited (because that's a big part of farming/life sims). pretty much placement of trees and a few objects was the only way to customize your island. There were a few bugs here and there but nothing terrible. Story and Characters: 4/10 The story is only mildly interesting, Moana has to go and find the 4 hearts of Tafiti so the spirit thing can somehow (this part wasn't very clear) stop the colonizers from sucking the planet dry of resources. Don't worry we don't suck the planet dry... 'cause respawn and what not. The characters were mostly bland and mostly forgettable or a** holes. Here's looking at you Edegar the Edger and the b****y sisters. A big part of life sims is having interesting, and at least some likable, characters. art: 8/10 Art was one of the aspects that drew me to this game. Art was nice and i liked the bright colors of Mara, it reminded me of Wind Waker, and the animation was my favorite part, which there was some so ill give them that.

June 2024

~*~2024 is the Year of the Backlog!~*~ The vibes are immaculate. It gets a good rating just for capturing the "beach town of weirdos" feeling perfectly. Lots of nice characters to interact with. The rest of it is kind of a really barebones farming sim. Its still a lot of fun to play and everything flows together well enough. But there's kind of a nagging feeling that everything could have been deeper. Its a great setting, and it would have been amazing if it was fleshed out even more. Still, if you like summertime beachside vibes, farming, and weird talking fish and cats, its worth picking up on sale.
