Story

And similarly to a review I recently did for a different game, I have to say, the story is better towards the end, too bad only 28% of players will get to see that!
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
66 of 187 sampled reviews raised it
With crafting and farming as its main gameplay, it’s a laidback, relaxing game that you can easily pick up and put down again and is great for wholesome game fans.
Graphics
