Fields of Mistria

absolute cinema

This quickly became one of my top 3 favorite games I've ever played. The characters are genuinely so unique both design-wise and personality wise. They are all so diverse and lovable in their own (sometimes weird) ways. I also would like to point out that the townsfolk actually interact with each other, and not JUST you. It makes them feel more real/relatable. They do have friend groups, like how March is often seen around his brother Olric or Ryis, but they clearly have their own life that is more than relationships and dialogue. I have a few different playthroughs/saves. and am pleasantly surprised when I notice new things. My most thorough playthrough, I completed the main story so far, made 100k, decorated my farm, and it's just on year 3. I did that within like, a week. Safe to say. 20/10 game, can't wait for more! <3

ITS LIKE STARDEW VALLEY BUT ITS EVEN BETTER ALSO THERE ARE MILFS

This game quickly became my favorite in the genre. It has many quality of life upgrades compared to similar titles, like jumping and swimming. The characters are well written, and I find myself genuinely interested in all of them. The plot is compelling, and also extremely flexible. No matter what order you do the main plot and side things, they all cohesively flow together. I really enjoy that the characters talk about things that happened in cutscenes/events, especially ones they weren't present for. It really adds to the immersion, and the feeling that this is a living breathing world. I have encountered a couple of bugs, but the devs seem to be really on top of those. This is clearly a project that had a lot of love poured into it.

fantastic game

Cute Stardew Valley/Harvest moon/Runefactory esque game, vewry chill vibes

10/10 THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME AND GIRLY POP

Very addictive gameplay loop. It's like a more accessible, user friendly version of "Stardew Valley". Stardew with it's number of mods and sheer amount of years of content has that edge... but this is basically like an improvement over everything Stardew does. The characters have far more personality, there's more of an ongoing story... increasing your affinity with the villagers is less obtuse and the crafting has less grind. I work fulltime and have a family, my hardcore gaming days have been curtailed signifigantly, but I've put 30 hours in this, I keep wanting to unlock the next quest, get to the next floor of the mines, see the newest event... and it all plays wonderfully on my SteamDeck. if you love the HarvestMoon genre, you can't go wrong with this game.
