I hate super grindy stuff, so you can imagine that a lot of farming type games drive me nuts. I love this though. You are rewarded for everything you do and in a lot of ways it's more exploration and collecting than farming and there are so many things to do, like cooking with actual minigames attached, and various quests to go through. And the sense of humor is great in my opinion, lots of tongue in cheek jokes that mean things never feel stodgy. And lots of lore to read, which is usually pretty funny. And the art is top tier. This is definitely my go to. If I had some complaints it would be that the NPCs are a little shallow and it would have been nice not to have combat necessary to see everything. But ultimately that hasn't impacted my enjoyment enough not to leave a five star rating.
