I would have to agree with other reviews that it still feels very early access, and is missing a lot of things that could really add some interest to the gameplay.

I got really excited when I first saw it.Its a nice game and very cozy.I liked the mechanics and I was playing on controller and it worked really well.The developers really love this game and it shows,its well made.Its nice that you can customize your experience if you want to play easy or hard and disable if you dont want something.On the negatives now.There is not really much to do.It grows boring really fast.You cant mine because there is a limited mine area,you can plant crops but thats not very fun to do every single day,you can fish and forage and do some things like quests but its just not interesting enough to keep your interest after a few hours.The conversations are swallow and the grind is meaningless.It feels like its early access and thats sad because it has so much potential!
