Fun But Plays Like an Early-Access Game
GyK is not a terrible game, it offers a pretty chill "Harvest-Moon-like" experience with a pretty unique setting and mechanics. A nice feature is that the Day/night cycle is less stringent than HM games, you can stay up late and there are no seasons, only a 1 week cycle so the pressure to get things done "this season" is not present. The problem with the game is it's just not finished, it's missing QoL features, there's unused stuff and there's lots of mechanics that are interesting but obviously not fully fleshed out. This is apparent in the frequently uneven tech progression and in the rather sprawling crafting mechanic which seems to dominate the game-play more than actually keeping up with your graveyard. Overall I can't say GyK is a good game but it's unusual enough that I don't regret the time put into it. It has a lot of potential to become a good game and I would give it 3 stars if it looked like the developer planned to continue to patch and flesh out the main game but it appears they have gone the route of DLC to fill in some of the holes.
Is this helpful to you?
