100 Days of Fae Farm Melted my Brain 

thank you for being honest about this game. I feel like since farming sims are so popular right now game devs are jumping on that and putting out pretty inferior stuff sometimes. $60 for this game is ridiculous.

I can’t believe you stuck with the game for all 100 days, but I’m also glad you did. This video was so hilarious and yet so helpful for its honesty. I only wish I’d seen this before I bought the game, which I regret purchasing. I can’t believe it’s only a little less expensive than, say, Baldur’s Gate 3, where a random squirrel has more personality when you cast Speak with Animals on it than the romance candidates in Fae Farm…

I heard so much bad reviews on Fae Farm. I am SO glad that I got it! I am extremely enjoying it. Thank you for telling us about our "name" because I thought I messed up somehow! So nice to know I did not. I am still so pumped on this game. I did Animal Crossing for over 2 years daily then slowly faded till they announced no more updates. Feels so nice to have something new and sweet.

appreciate all the hard work that went into this video i’m only 20 mins in but i’m already laughing and loving it

I love this game so much. There’s so much to do. I finished the story quests, and I’m still in love with the game!

More hour and a half long deep dives, please! I haven't even thought about buying Fae Farm but I still loved your review. I think your criticisms are super fair and good feedback for any developer trying to capture the cozy magic of farming sims.

I'm asking for your community that the wings make it to every stream lol

Watching this was a treat. Haha. I just finished the main story line and I’m in year 4. Mostly because it took almost 2 years of focus to breed all the flowers so I could get the wings and palettes. Honestly I never bothered selling much of anything but gems and gold from the mines. And I def don’t fight much anymore in there. Me and the Gone potion are BFFs. Also discovered sneaking up on critters just makes it easier for them to out maneuver you. The blobbins and a couple others are exceptions but I just chase stuff down now. Anyway, thanks for posting your game story. 😅

This is my new comfort video now. The perfect mix of wholesome and gremlin energy is just *chef's kiss* Also, for my own future reference, that cow shaking its ears at 15:51!!! 🥺

Come on, feature length film!! I’m so excited

Cracking up every time your character is doing his little tasks, miserable, in the rain… really makes you want to play the game 😅

The way I wish I had popcorn for this feature film!!! annnnd commentary is top tier and hilarious per usual. I really wanted fae farm to be great, but it feels like just another farm sim 🥲 I’m currently distracting myself with the hybrid flowers lol

I burst out laughing multiple times in this video ! So entertaining- and i appreciate all the work that went into this!! Loved it 🤗

I loved this!! Such a thorough and concise look through everything!! Thank you for the time and effort it took to make this for us!

Literally watched the whole thing and had a blast!! Been super obsessed with fae farm the past couple days and really favor the decorating portion of the game so I’m excited to delve in, and I appreciate you putting the time into making this hilariously fun review!

Voted and liked! Omg you were stumped and frustrated at ALLL the same parts as me. So validating. Not quite done the video yet but I’m still trying to figure out the point of farming besides needing the odd veg for a potion or recipe. It’s not nearly as profitable as the polished gems and mining is so much more fun.

OMG I love you. lol You are so much fun to watch. I just bought the game, so this was so helpful, and I was laughing all the way through the video. You are so right about the silent part, I wish I did that when I first joined. I definitely subscribed I can't wait to see what other games you played. =)

Love your commentary! You have me smiling and laughing and overall, just enjoying your videos. Excited to see more.

This is my first time running across your videos and I LOVE your attitude. I will definitely be subbing!

Honestly, by the time I got to the fire dungeon I noticed that whatever floor you're on will typically have some of what you need to make a seal to unlock the next floor, so I didn't even bother with the magma cores and just made seals the whole way down. 🤣 It took me longer, but I was just not down for the whole having to re-light thing.

This was my favorite fae farm video ❤ Thank you for taking time to educate the masses

I would love this style video for more hyped games in the cozy gaming community like moonstone island, mineko’s night market, etc. I see so many hyped cozy games but after buying a couple duds on yter recommendation I really appreciate this video and your authenticity even though you were gifted the game. Rare these days tbh

ej 100 days may be the best 100 days truly edit: NOT THE HANNAH PICTURE

Statues terrified me too and yessss i totally forgot the whirlpool harvests crops. 🤦🤦🤦🤦

I just discovered your channel from this video :) I'm 30 minutes in and thoroughly entertained lol In the game, I'm on year 3 and you're not wrong about the hits and misses. I look forward to the DLCs and more updates...I'm playing on the switch. I have a MacBook so no $40 option lol But I love the game

Thank you RU-vid for recommending me someone who I LOVED their videos. You’re such a great content creator and I loved the video! Definitely a new sub 🫶🏻

the old ac music is pleasing

Thanks for providing a good laugh with actual information and game play! great video

This was so entertaining! Thank you for your sacrifice for the content😂

lmaooo you are funny and I'm glad I found your video before getting the game. Thank you for the review!

YOU ARE FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!!!! 🤣 i'm gonna need to watch all your videos now

I just found this channel through an indie showcase and I LOVE your humor and personality!!!!

Epic! That was quite the commitment.

I played the free trial for like an hour but mostly couldn’t get past the art style. Definitely not for me, but I like watching videos about it lol

Thank you for the thought out review 😁

The sense of pure relief I felt when you discovered the vortex spell for crops is immense lol

i cant wait to play this game, great video :)

I appreciate the dedication and hard work that went into this video!! Thank you!

you did it! i loved this

I loved your video so much. I got into the free game trial of this game 5 hours before it ended on the Switch last night, so your video really helped me decide if I want to shell out for this game. This review was so well done and really gave me the business that I really wanted to know about Fae Farm. We are similar gamers, so that was convenient for me. And you are wildly entertaining, so, thank you profusely! Btw, I am an old school Animal Crosser (been playing since 2001) and I need you to tell me about your Tangy doll! Ohmygawd, she is so cute! Looks hand felted, and I'm also a crafty person so I am beyond curious about her. Also, your Bulbasaur is adorable, one of the cutest I've seen, and Bulby is my absolute favorite Pokemon. Anyway, thank you again, so very much, I am done fanpersoning you for now. Love!

I would love to see one of these videos from you talking about roots of pacha. Its my fav sim game at the moment

Love the Atlantis reference. I'm loving the production value. This is the first video I've seen by this creator. I'll be back. 💜

Thank you for feeding us, EJ. Hehehe. I agree with all of your criticisms. I got super into Fae Farm until I finished the entire storyline, and then immediately regretted the price. $60 is really crazy for this one. Though it does come with some DLC packs. But, we'll see how much those add to the game. It'd better not be just some new clothes or skins.

I love Fae Farm so much!! It’s so cozy and fun.

I had to stop at the 20min mark so as not to spoil it for myself Lol I just started playing after getting my Steam Deck for the holiday. I originally had it on Switch, but didn't get too far before the new game system arrived. I'm loving it so far, but this review and run down is HILARIOUS (and accurate). I'll have to come back after a few more chapters in.

A 1hour 37 minute EJ Plays feature film was not on my bingo card, we luv to see it ☺️!

Ugh! I felt sympathy for you with this gameplay. I wouldnt have made 100 days most likely. Glad you take time to sit on stuff a while before giving a finished opinion. Loved the fairy wings you wore and loved your threat at the end 🤣 9/10

I'm so obsessed with this game

Loved the video! I picked up fae farm and though I understand the price is steep I think it’s worth (for me). I’ve had tons of fun playing and there’s a lot to explore. I think there’s a lot of negative comments but highlight for me is all the quality of life updates they have.

wow! this sure is a game! maybe one of the games ever!

i think the $40 sale is def worth it. since buying i haven’t been able to stop playing. i do agree with most of your criticisms- some of them however i personally think is what makes the game charming in its own way! it’s still new so hopefully we get more!

You are soooo good at these videos 😊 good job 👍

I got this game when it was on sale on the switch and been enjoying it.

I just played it and was patient with it. I also never had any lagging in it for some reason and I’m n switch. I haven’t finished it yet and I loved getting all my flower colours only got 4 to go 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oh my gosh just started playing this game and found you by happy accident and I was dying laughing at your wedding… off to watch other videos..

Yeah I’m in the floating ruins rn, I am not messing with the floating lights of doom that activate the angels of death. I’m making the seals and using to invisibility potion to avoid fighting all together

This was so entertaining!

This video was very helpful 😊

I thought the cut scenes were absolutely adorable!

I preordered this and was SO excited for it, got it on the day of release and didn’t touch it for a month. Played 2 days, liked it way more than I thought, but decided I’d go back once I have the time to dedicate because I just started Disney Dreamlight valley which I thought I’d hate but I friggin LOVE. The price… yea it definitely isn’t a $60 game but it is a good game… a great game. There’s tons of content, there’s more than enough to do to keep busy. I’m hoping for DLC or if it becomes a series of game I’m sure it’ll get much better with each iteration. I try to always keep in mind that most of these games release on PC and Switch among other platforms, and to release anything on Switch REALLY kills the performance. They have to work within soooo many parameters to make a game work and work well on Switch. It’s already almost 7 years old and Fae Farm just released now. I hope that whatever console they have coming next comes quick because they’re just going to start releasing all the new good games on every platform except Nintendo.

Such a great video, I watched every second without skipping!!! There are so many farming out there currently, and I loved playing the og harvest moon games, but since then it's quite hard to find something good... like there is a kind of void that hasn't been filled yet... so I'm ok with spoilers, and I really can't decide with game to buy because all of them seem to be quite expensive lately... I think I will buy fae farm but not right now, because the mine stuff looked fun & challenging and it has quite a bit of game play (how many hours did you play in total?) maybe when there is some interesting sale or so, to save some money. One more question tho, do the fairy wings have any purpose/use?

i feel like this game should have been called fae mines, you don't actually get much from farming in this game so you mostly just spend your time in the mines.

Love your story telling

I agree mostly. It’s not worth $60. There’s “supposedly” 2 free DLCs coming, so hopefully that expands stuff. You didn’t get a chance to get into any of the breeding stuff (flowers, trees, animals) and those are cool. Cute little blue cows! All in all I liked it. Liked the look of it for sure. But just wish they had done MORE for literally every aspect of the game.

I'm really enjoying Faefarm rn! Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon games also cost that much so I'd say it's just as worth it as any of them (I got it on sale tho so I'd say def worth the sale price). The movement feels just so nice and fun and polished (probably the most polished part of the game, which is good but also a little bad lol). Honestly I love just running around and jumping in this game which is great! I do wish the dialogue was handled better bc what is there is fun and cute when they aren't just regurgitating the same canned lines :/ I like the storybook style cutscenes, but I do feel like the story feels very detached from the gameplay so it would have been nice if there were some active events that could make you feel like you're really doing something (other than when you clear the obstacles). I think I maybe don't mind fetch quests as much as most people, but if ALL the quests are fetch quests then yeah it feels pretty egregious. But I love the concept and feel, but some things could still use improvement. I honestly really hope they make a sequel in the future with the same great movement and magic+farming concept, but with better characters and story (and maybe better graphics for the characters lol like the animals and scenery and everything else looks fine I like the style there, but the people just need a little more something) The core gameplay is pretty great though like there aren't a lot of quality of life improvements that could be made. This game feels like it wasn't made under crunch and was actually properly play tested (at least the Switch version I've been playing), which is unfortunately becoming a rarity these days. Consideration seems to have been taken for inclusivity as well, which is nice. This is one of the only games I've played that let's you pick your pronouns, although I'm not sure when/if they ever really come up in the dialogue? Anyways i think this is a pretty good farm sim and I hope it does well.

I can't get over how the character models just look like Lego minifigs

I loved your video. I’m loving FaeFarm, but I don’t play other farm sims.

Honestly great review. I agree with most of your opinions and your commentary is wonderful. I wish the writing was better and more interactive. The whole game feels like one big grindy fetch quest. It feels great to play, but it doesn't quite scratch the itch.

I had a few issues with the game. One of them was the length of the day....which they just changed in the update. You have an option. An 18 minute day or a 36 minute day.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORT THIS VIDEO TOOK TO MAKE. 🎉

I believe today is the last day fae farm is on sale on the switch. 44 bucks is better than 60 and I finally bought it 😊 very happy I did cause it’s such cozy vibes

yayyyy baby long form yayyyyyyyyyy more ej

ive been seeing this game here n there but i havent actually watched any vids about it!

For $60 this game needs voice acting and it would be interesting if the miasma guy said no and you had to fight him for the miasma to go away. And it would be better if npcs didn’t send you to other npcs if that’s the case the npc that you need to go to should just send a letter. Romancing should be more about giving gifts rather than quest kinda like Stardew

Picked it up for 33 pounds on ebay ... so excited to play it :D

I'm so glad that you went with Jack. My first day meeting him I was scurrying around at 9pm looking for a snail he wanted. The price point is a shame, they had a free trial on Switch and now I want to buy it. Also, first time viewer! Liked and subscribed. 😁

I'd play this game if it was like ... a third of the price. BUT this video was really fun, so I'm not complaining that it exists.

I'm on year 3 and honestly love this game mining gems makes the most profit animal products mainly for cooking you won't get much for selling the artwork is very cute there are so many makers to build you can decorate the inside of your house but it's nothing to special combat isn't to challenging lots of cute wings and outfits to buy villagers are vanilla with dialog romance options are limited cross breeding flowers is fun and growing the different crops is nice fishing can be a bit challenging for new players but once you get the hang of it it's alright you level up your fishing rod axe pickaxe wand watering can by using gems and ore for upgrades the artwork and music is pretty I haven't really played multi-player to explain how that works over all its a great cozy farm game they are announced 2 dlcs free for nintendo switch in 2024 hopefully will add more content clothes and furniture

I'm gonna say "Or Nor Cleor!" Everytime I see her in game now 😂

If I learned anything from this video, it’s that this man yearns for the mines.

I believe they actually reduced the regular price down to $30 for PC, but also removes the Expansions, so you’d have to buy them separately if you wanted to. Switch users are stuck with the $60 price tag though, the expansion is free for switch users. Wish they did more with the relationships aspect of the game 😢 and I would have liked them to have voice acted the chapters. The VA for the trailers did a great job.

positively begging you to play sun haven after watching you play this

wait wait, the reason you cant have relationships with the shopkeepers is, according to the lore, because theyre always so busy that they dont have time to have a life, or sumthin... i mean honestly not a great excuse, but i assume that being in a relationship with any of the shopkeepers wouldve opened up way too many other mechanics that I suppose the devs did not want to encumber themselves with, and honestly thats also fair.

I actually love this game

I am new to FaeFarm. I am stuck I have started over three time. When I complete the 25 mine levels of the mine Nessa is asleep and will not respond. Can you help? 2:38

LOL, very cute. I feel your struggle in other games I have played. 😆 😂 😏 👍

I wish that this had come out prior to me buying the game, I bought it before it went down in cost :(

Use the whirlwind to quick harvest!

This game is so glitchy! I'm on year 4 and I've most of the quests done as well as the main story line. As much as I enjoy it these are my main issues. The charms for breeding frequently fail, the almanac is incredibly basic doesn't even show what materials you need to for clothes etc. Building fences is pointless as the animals walk through them, the animals also frequently get in the way and you can't move them like you can in other games. No aiming for foraging and mining you best just hope the little glowing square lands on what you want to pick/mine. The trinkets that you can get from Lem, don't even think of unequipping them from your buddy as they disappear so if you've equipped a citrine trinket to a frog.. there it will stay. I have lost so many trinkets trying to unequip them to swap out my buddy. Romancing and getting married is pointless unless you want to fill the fashion almanac as they just roam around the farm and do not help with anything on the farm

You can fully upgrade all 4 houses. ❤

Have you played or made any vids with the free dlc???

Screaming at the bomb going off 😂😂😂😂😂

I really enjoy it! I only payed the 40. Maybe I would be more a little disappointed If I spent 60. But I'm enjoying it.

This was such a funny and also good video, thank you for making it. I played a little bit of this game through the game trials thing and wasn't convinced, and now I'm sure I don't want to get it

Finally!!!!

yes mama slay work fae queen

I got this game this morning and omg I played it all day. 12 hours playing a video game. SEND HELP. 🤣

I wish there was more battle spells or you know more ways to fight instead just smashing everything only with a wand or rod whatever

Of all the things I didn't like about this game, the seasonal and fae crops were not an issue. Maybe because I understood how to use them pretty quickly so managed to get a start on them pretty early? The biggest issue i have with the game is the characterisation of the NPCs. They're just boring. bland and behind the times. They don't have a lot of charm when compared to other Farming Sims. That aside, how do you feel about checking out Roots of Pacha? It's a very fun sim with a twist, and yes, it has mines. XD

When i first got this game and they told me to craft for the first time their was no indicator on how i was so confused that i looked it up and after i learned how they highlighted the build function for the first cooking quest I was so annoyed. This game doesn’t do very well at. Telling information.
