Collector's Cove

I wouldn't say I recommend this game, but more of a maybe. Don't get me wrong, its a good game. It does things differently, enjoyably, and it's very simple and easy to play. But it is tedious, there's nothing much to do most of the time besides wait for things, and despite having decorative items and customisation stuff, you can't really use most if not any of it. I had played the demo, and hoped the full game would be a bit more than the same cycle, but it kinda wasn't. If you liked Raft and want a similar experience but without any of the maintenance or much of the exploration and just want to cruise and fish and farm on the open sea, then maybe this is for you.

游戏本身好玩，差评给中翻，两种鱼的传奇品种获得方法翻译地不清不楚，还得看英文才能明白，再就是经典的操作：把原文“Mom and dad”翻译成“爸爸妈妈”这种顺序，味大到建议和隔壁组装零件游戏的那个翻译坐一桌。

I like this game a lot and for two days it was the only thing I wanted to play. But now nearly 8 hrs in and the first biome completely collected I have no motivation to clear any of the other biomes and get 100% to my collection. You made stuff harder and I need more crops and stuff to make bait or fertilizer for Sakura Shores or the Spooky one and I dont know why. I loved the first biome because i could do everything there, and the pace felt nice, but now with the new biomes I feel a lack of wanting to try because you made them harder with no real pay off. There isnt an motivation to complete anything because once you get to Sakura Shores the game loop is sooooo freaking boooooooring. Like? and having to wait till Collection Tier 6 to upgrade my watering can. BORING. BORING now i no longer want to play the game anymore. There is no incensive, there are no quests. There is no motivation to do anything. It sucks because i really liked finishing the first biomes collection in the book! It was fun and motivating and made sense but you quickly realize that the game loop is terrible and all you do is fish, water your crops and go to islands that alllllllllllll look the freaking game. Nothing was actually done to make it feel like youre doing anything different. Not to mention you just sleep to pass the time and do everything all over again. Super boring. If I could refund the game 8 hours in I would have, that is how bad the game loop is. Sucks, I liked the time I spent, but I wont be spending any more time in it. One more thing, after doing 8 hours of game play you realize this is a fishing simulator and water your crops simulator and that really sucks. It started off so fun but this game has no long term play time. Once you realize the loop, you dont wanna play anymore.

I'm pretty sure this is my first Steam review in over a decade on the platform- because no game has given me such immediate enthusiasm, and no game have I been so wanting to encourage the developers continuing work on, as much as Collector's Cove. It perfectly captures the nostalgia their inspiration sources gives me, and the childhood explorative joy those same things gave me as a kid. A go-getter's Harvest Moon, an active take on collection games, and an environmental worldview that reminds me you're never too old for compassion. Charming characters that make you feel like a bright-eyed kid, not in a condescending way, but in a nurturing, hands off mentorship following the maverick footsteps of the player's parents. I've shown this game to all my friends, and I can only hope they'll pick up a copy too, because this is an experience I want everyone to have!

it a really chill and calming game

So, this isn't a particularly complicated game, with a straightforward game loop: Go to a new area, fish and farm while you bounce from island to island. Once you've fished/farmed enough to unlock bait/fertilizer recipes, use those until you get the secret to unlock the Fabled version of the fish/crop. Head to a new area, repeat. No combat, no NPC relationships, no sleep required (although you do get a buff if you sleep), no need to grind huge amounts of money, no significant QTEs. It's a soothing and relaxing game overall, so if that's what you're after - absolutely recommended.

I was able to play the demo and fell in love with this game :3 and AFTER playing the demo, i was given the full game for free by Pirates PR. so thank you to them for the game, but honestly its worth the buy!!! its very raft if you didnt have a shark up your butt all the time lmao. very cute and fun, tiem flies by fast but the best thing is that time doesnt matter! there are no real seasons, and no real pressure to do things in x amount of time so you can play at your own pace and just enjoy it 🙂 my only requests and critique is please dont make the music pause when i tab out LOL. also you should add a screenshot mode!! the game is so pretty and the environment is awesome, and id love to take cute screenies without all the UI getting in the way ❤️ 10/10 for me! give this game a shot!!

Un excellent moment passé dessus avec ma communauté (+ platine du jeu) <3 Je ne peux que le recommander, il manque un peu de personnalisation de personnages et notre perso a un peu une tête idiote, mais c'est pour dire de lui trouver un défaut xD Un jeu vraiment paisible avec un côté sérieux et un côté humoristique sur les plantes et les poissons, plus 4 styles d'îles totalement différents liés aux saisons. Et un très bon rapport qualité-prix ! Maintenant, à vous de vous lancer dans l'aventure !! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ma notation : 18,5/20 Me retrouver en live sur Twitch -> https://www.twitch.tv/lemondedeshaki
