FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Characters that you meet on your adventure are great as all have own look and own personality to them and can even get into relationships with them and more.

World is fun to explore and feels alive and changes with the seasons.

Art style is detailed and pretty.

Items are cool as alot of variety to stuff you can eat, sell, craft and more.

Build stuff has all own uses and own look to them.

Easy to pick up and play with nice chilled vibe.

Need more urgency to do tasks as need more focused goals to work towards as often found after woke up and watered plants was left with mining or fishing which got bit samey.

Can be confusing as alot to do and alot to learn such as what can and cant be put in stuff and results be good.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall story is fun, the characters you meet all have own look, personality the world is fun to explore with a detailed art style, easy pick up and loads of buildable items to use and stuff to make. However for £19.99, can be confusing as alot of stuff to do and multiple steps to make stuff and needs more urgency on goals as bit to cozy and need more of a push to do goals.
