The puzzles work the post office is a lovely addition and having things to do to progress is very fun there are still a few weird things like starting with the frost medallion recipe yet getting one from the east island puzzle but i love the little bear merchant npc and the flying bike is very smooth now and no grass textures found in the clouds!!!
