Extremely beautiful graphics + audio, mix of animated and in game cutscenes was an interesting overlap in a game, definitely get the hours out of it full price, but I paid $30AUD for the main game and all dlcs + extras.

It's not tedious or hard/annoying to 100%, quite easy to do all during a play-through without paying too much attention to it, you won't need additional saves or new game+ to 100% achievements

Pro;
- Extremely open world
- Graphics + Audio
- Story + Questlines
- Replayable
- Choices matter but also don't
- Can fast travel to your ship / docks around the map
- Greek mythology
- Greek mythology
- Greek mythology
- Cutscenes are short/interesting enough to not need to skip or be bored sitting through ( they do give you information and ways you should path in some quests so pay attention, or don't, again it didn't matter as much as it seems)
- Auto saves are on point but can quick save or main save
- Choose your own playing path (if you want to run in blades ready as warrior, stealth it out as assassin, or range as hunter)

Con;
- Combat / Assassination (quite clunky most of the time)
- Fast travel points are eh
- Stamina limit on horse (it's extremely slow to travel on horse)
- Follow road option (90% of the time it won't path to a road or will say no road nearby)
- DLC's while interesting, are kind of just a copy paste and very repetitive
- Greek mythology
- Slight bugs here or there, not game breaking
- Different tree types didn't matter too much. ( I didn't path into hunter much nor assassin, still slayed gg ez mode on normal )
^ this could be a me issue, maybe i needed to play on a harder difficulty.

Overall, decent game, recommend.

My favourite thing to do was use the kick ability to kick every enemy off a high point to instant death.
It's also extremely funny that most enemies will freeze/lock when on fire because they're burning and just stand there screaming "put it out, help me, aaaa" (which is poor combat)

--= 8 / 10 =--
Wasn't a fan of the other AC games, I couldn't quite get into them growing up. (maybe i'll try a few out again after playing this one even though people say it's quite different).

I enjoyed this game in its entirety, graphics, music, story, side quests, random collections.

(It hits a FarCry nostalgia in the brain.)

Story & Animations were quite pleasant, usually I'd skip most but didn't see the need, while some were quite long, the story was enjoyable to follow along.

The difficulty can be catered to any gamer, super challenging, or breeze mode, there's never a point where you're stuck on something and can't push through due to difficulty etc.
Puzzles etc are pretty auto pilot, you won't need to look them up for a solution which i enjoyed because I am big dumb,

If you're bored of doing one thing, you can easily go do something else, there's heaps of side quests, collections to complete, and things to explore/100%

I didn't get many bugs while having it in ultra, but putting the graphics down to a medium there were quite a few things that stopped gameplay here and there, interacting with chests etc, or getting stuck on a lot of ledges and ground spots that didn't happen on ultra.

The only other issues I'd have is the combat, while not the hardest nor greatest, quite silly at most points, I shouldn't be able to walk up to a barrack and assassinate a guy in the middle of the day while not even bothering to hide etc, the target guys and "boss" type enemies were all quite easy as well( I hadn't tried to up the difficulty either so i don't know if that changes things). While there is a difference in a level 5 enemy to a level 30 enemy there's no real challenge.

I just created a guide for all the recipes, please do check it out if you're in need of some information

If you were a fan of | Lilo and stitch: 625 Sandwich Stacker | you will absolutely love this.

It's not difficult, but does have some little fun challenges of avoiding cat toys and socks.

There's recipes to unlock which are worth extra points but don't intervene with the game play, adding pickles to your ham tomato and cheese won't have a negative effect but you will get extra $$ for it.

You can give treats to your current cats to level them up, or add them to a treat bowl to discover a new kitty just waiting to help you on your adventure.

Besides upgrading and unlocking additional items lots of different decorations and cat outfits to unlock.
There's a quest board for daily tasks to earn extras, with no penalty to not completing, and better yet there's overall achievements via steam.
I usually mute game music, but this one fits so well I had to keep it on, it ties all of the aspects together.

It's only $9 AUD, I'd definitely rate it at atleast $15AUD

Ha, ha, ha

{Multiplayer} no no bad bad

If you're getting this for playing with mates, I say no, nothing is synced for multiplayer use.
I played with one other person, and It was more buggy/glitchy than anything I've experienced in a released game.
It seems most things are client sided? and trying to shove multiple people with different client sided things into the main host client is just buggy as all heck.

Basically, you can just have your friends run around separately doing things because nothing counts as a together thing.

{Singleplayer} Yeah why not.
If you intend to play this by yourself, you'll have a lovely experience despite the lack of storyline etc It was very rushed, you're more focused on doing bundles than anything else and while that's not totally bad, it shouldn't be the MAIN focus for a game that has so much other aspects to it.




Overall,
It's kind of a let down, yeah it's pretty, yeah It's got some nice features, It has the start of some awesome things, but they don't get followed up.
example being, the romance, It's fun having so many options, and can date multiple at the same time, It's easy to level the hearts and go through the dialogue, the dates you don't do much on, 2 lines and it's over, marriage, sure they move into the house, but you don't sleep in the same bed, you can't interact with anything(there's just an additional room fully set up added to your home that you can't do anything with).

GREENHOUSES, The greenhouses are such a cool addition, I love the look of them, the fact they're a mini biome all packed within a small building that won't take up much space, BUT THEY'RE SO BUGGY, you can plant some seeds, but they disappear a day later, reappear 6 days later, or they're suddenly on untilled soil and can't be watered or interacted with.

The different places, like Withergate/Nel'Vari,
They could be additional places to grind more quests etc, but no.. Most of it is left unneeding to be interacted with, you only need to use the farms maybe twice? but it has so much potential.
the only reason to go to either, is to complete the fish bundles/altars
AND THERE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A WAY FOR CHARON TO GO TO THE CASTLE.


Most of the quests have a back and forth before actually having to do something for said quest, example being, oh interact with this person for the quest, but then go talk to this person elsewhere, and once you talk to that elsewhere person, go back to the beginning and talk to them, but then talk to another person to get the actual quest requirements.


I honestly cannot recommend this game, and I dislike that I can't, maybe in the future if there's any bug patching or multiplayer fixes, or general fixes.

Fishy Fishy

If you're a fan of Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons etc
- Do Not Get This.

I'd really like to recommend this but unfortunately I don't feel like I can.

It's definitely a game for the young ones.

The perfect way to play this game, would be doing a resource run every morning while waiting for shops to open etc, but time pauses in the mines, once you break those 12 rocks what do you do for the extremely long days due to every 10 minutes in game taking 3-5minutes IRL(or what it feels like), atleast there's the option to sleep for a few hours as well as 'until tomorrow', so you can pretty much skip through-out the day.

There's not much to do in general, I know these types of games can be slow to begin with until you unlock this or that, but this game doesn't really have anything like that to unlock, besides a side path in the forest and maybe a clothing shop in the town 10 days down the line.

The inventory was probably the most annoying thing, although i really like the little merit addition to unlock things, If the game was bigger in general I don't think locking a Map and Inventory Slots behind those is the right way to go, it does give you something to work towards though.

Again there's also not much to have in the inventory so it's not all that bad I guess.
The art style is both good and bad, while It's nice to look at and quite modern in a farming sim kind of way, some of the characters are quite terrifying to look at, especially your own character that you create in the beginning, the eyes just look like they're staring into my soul and it was super off putting.

While it does give a huge Animal Crossing vibe, It's very bland and feels extremely unfinished, but if you're just getting into these kinds of games, or are younger of age 7-13 I think you'd really enjoy this game.

Pros;
- Art Style
- Easy to learn
- Can sleep for a few hours, 6 hours or a night
- Merit system
- Achievements seem quite easy to grind out( if you were interested in 100%)


Cons;
- Art Style
- Not much content
- Nothing challenging about the game (e.g Stamina bar, )
- Sprint only lasts 2 seconds. (doesn't make much of a difference, the shrines to teleport to places are easily unlocked, and there's only like 3 places to go anyway)
- Time pauses in the mines( I found this to be pointless due to there only being a few levels and around 8-10 rocks on each level, considering you can't get to most of the levels for awhile)
- The building/design etc was quite difficult to learn and get used to.
- bugs are small(considering the size of everything else, butterflies are barely visible)
- lack of inventory slots
- Mines only have around 5 levels


I personally think an Animal Crossing inspired game quite like this is a great idea, it just needs a little bit more work.

8/10
- Super chill auto pilot game, kind of like an afk farming sim with more interaction.
- Easy to 100% Achievements
- It's really not challenging at all, but it's also not too mundane, there's always something to do and when you don't feel like doing one thing you can just do several others.

- Price is decent and worth it for the content involved, it's easy to sink hours into it with the achievements and unlocks.
The update to unlock everything through multiple people being certain levels elevated the game entirely, especially since most of the achievements are tied to selling certain fish higher up in the chain.

- There's a few bugs here and there, nothing that really breaks your game or makes it unplayable. (usual with any game)

- Money could have been harder to obtain, once you unlock the market which is around 20 minutes into the game you're pretty much set from selling 1-2 lots of fish every now and again.

- The unlock chart is hard to see some times, there's a zoom option which helps but when you want to unlock certain things It's hard to see the little people images and know which is what, but everything is connected with lines in the chart which you can just follow anyway.

- Dev's are quite active in the discussions and seem pretty nice from interactions.

Cons;
- Some flashing
- Some lag here and there that requires a restart, doesn't happen often though.(haven't had the game crash yet)
- Some minor bugs
- Fishing Pond wants/needs reset 15th/30th every month but a little reminder or image at the top of the screen would be ideal.
- Chart thing


I played a bit on first release and it was much different, It's really nice to see how much it has grown yet keep the main build of the game there.
Can definitely see this game being decent on Nintendo Switch and SteamDeck.
