I am trying to like this game. I like the setting and even the odd story, but I find the grind gets me down. I have played this game for more than 100 hours and almost twice through. I liked the art style. I am old enough to remember when most games had to be pixel art style. It makes me feel nostalgic for those days. The sound is mix of the generic sound ,eg footstep, door opens , and the music which is good. The music fits the game and seems to blend from one tune to another seamlessly. The constant tap tap tap tap of the footsteps got on my nerves. The game needs more QoL patches. Things like better handling of making quality items and planting crops. Some way to make sure you are not pushed off a dig spot by materiels when digging or mining. The grind is real in this game. The grind for materials and money. There are times I wanted time to pass faster and slower. So i could move more crates or talk a specific npc to advance a quest. Time is not limited but does not stop either. This game has flaws but also has promise. The promise of a speed run. Where you have everything you need, when you need it and all the quests advance asap. Do I recommend this game. Yes but in a few patches.
