Kynseed

failed to win me over both times I fered it up with full intention to play... I guess nothing can beat Stardew Valley when the comparissons inevitably start...

This game is really fun and Im surprised its not more popular. I love playing it on the steam deck. I find it to be a very creative storytelling experience with equally fun combat and exploration. There's so many cool mini games and events that you find through out the story. I also like customizing my little farm and managing my shops as I battle to fight the evil in this world. Very unique and cool game. I finally beat the ending but will keep playing my save file to try and get all the achievements.

There's never a lack of things to do it would seem. Every time I jump into this I give up fairly quickly. It has all the things that I ought to like, but I never seem to get into it.

Great game but has way too many bugs for a game that has been on Steam for 3+ years... I just wish the game would auto-save more often so I didn't have to lose all of my progress every time the game crashes...

This sat in my library for quite a while. When I first got it, I wasn't into the cozy scene too much, so I found it hard to understand. But now revisiting it a year or two later, I can say I was missing out. This game is phenomenal. The graphics style reminds me of the DOS era Discworld game, which is high praise. The sense of humor in the game, from NPC names to the various books you find lying around, is spot on. And the generational approach to character advancement is unique. Sprinkle in some dark themes with the old world fae, not to mention the fact that, aside from maybe the prologue, you're not rushed to do anything in here, and can definitely play the way you want. I will say it's not without flaws, though. The game feels like it's trying to do a few things at once but sacrificing one for the other. On the one side there's a traditional fantasy story, fight-the-monster, save-the-region etc etc. But it also tries to tie character development into a generational improvement mechanic. Nice idea, but it's utterly unneeded. You can easily finish the entire game with one character. The game has the pacing of any other cozy style game like this (2 weeks a season, 4 seasons). Problem is the character generation mechanic takes actual in-game years. You'll be finished with the game and moving on before you ever need to pass on the Kynseed. That's why so few people have the achievement. Balance those things out and you've got a real winner I'd love to see more of.
