A Brutally Honest Review of Coral Island (1.0 Full Gameplay Review) 

in this year of 2023 we gotta stop calling every farming sim a stardew valley rip off considering stardew valley is so heavily inspired by harvest moon the developers have even said that. all farming sims are very similar, but we cant just call them all rip offs or copy cats, they all take inspiration from the same OG game. also i just could not get into stardew valley but i love coral island, so obviously something is much different because if they were the same i wouldnt like it. i just think everyone calling every farming sim a copy cat makes people turned off to trying others out. that being said, i agree with you. i wish the character customization was better, i get the theme of the game but when i play games like this i just wanna make myself lol its definitely its weak point.

It's funny, I love farming games but for some reason I could never get into Stardew Valley, meanwhile I've been playing Coral Island non stop.

My biggest complaint is that you can only save when you go to sleep. The game has crashed on me 4 times since full release and I've lost several items that I worked hard to obtain.

I’ve been a cozy gamer since 2005 and this is my FAVORITE farming sim I’ve ever played. Thanks for the review, makes me happy to know more people might pick it up now from your video!

WARNING! The game is currently buggy on everywhere except PC so please wait for an update before buying. Let's also remember that this is a very small indie team and lets be patient with them ^_^

I don't know if maybe I'm being picky, but I was hoping that you would mention that the game is unfinished. The last quest is titled WIP for work in progress. You won't be able to continue until 2024 when they release the Savannah biome. It's also the reward for the final alter, the Rare alter. I haven't been ANYONE mention this in their reviews and it makes me a bit mad. Not at the reviewers, but the game. In my opinion at least, the game literally is not finished. I wish I had known that previously.

I have roughly 130hrs of gameplay of this game, here are my personal pro's and cons: Pro's: Immersive world with extremely likeable characters, even someone like me who hates grinding friendship or making friends in game will take the time to enjoy the cut scenes and gifting. It's very rewarding. Character style is diverse, lots of nice clothes to wear and the mechanics are enjoyable. The option to turn off monsters instantly attacking you in settings- this is a godscend for me who most of the time just wants to grind ores. I love the new grass texture in the ocean, it looked fairly barren before in terms of pallet and life, now there's many more sea creatures, a reward system for unlocking areas and specific areas you need to unlock first by following the vine. I like this it makes everything feel more cohesive. Plus it looks great, I noticed some little fish and other wild life were also added as well as more under sea buildings? very cute! Updated the icons for items to have a clear background and the kitchen UI is now much more enjoyable to use. Nearly all residents like forage of any quality aside from seashells, so easy to gift without loosing money by giving crops and they're all so polite about it! You really get this vibe of community from everyone making you easily hate Karen (I see what they did there with that name) there are also twins in this game, possibly one of which may be an aspie and there is one visibly disabled character in the group as well as many skin tone variations. It's really nicely balanced. *SPOILERS* I looove being able to have a big black whale tail with a skull on the belly, could use perhaps a few more options especially more shark options but you swim SO much faster in this game. Another thing I love is the upgrades and rings, the rings are just such a delight to use although I never bother with the light rings as you will only truly use them in winter and I can usually see well enough not to bother. My favourite rings are the forage increase ring, speed when diving and overall increased speed. I am a speed demon when in the mines. Traps for enemies, a cool idea I've not seen done before they did have a monster scent thing that I was pissed about at first cause it seemed like a rip off from stardew valley but they have not used in it that way and instead made a much more unique set of scents that do different things. I also love how the new load of weapons vary although the default hammer you get in the mines seems to have the highest hit damage? need to explore this further as I never bothered to buy another one but I did get a nicer looking sword further down but it's damage was worse than the basic bitch hammer so I sold it, found out it's sold in the guild for twice as much as the hammer. Nice try chumps. Whilst I have not tried it I intend to buy the auto chest thingy, which honestly not only visually looks cool but is a feature that other farming games I've played don't have. I really like the automation choices in this game, they've really come a long way in making coral island stand out (for all the right reasons!) Random quests, I like these lil quests or requests you'll get from the towns folk; this can be due to levelling up hearts or just for the purpose of levelling up the town. It's clear at all times what you need to do in order to progress, something that wasn't true at first and is good for players like me who like a loose direction in their game so you can play with an objective. The level of your island, the ocean and the museum is very easy to see wherever you are and I like that a lot. It's paced nicely. Upgrade system for bug net and fishing rod; I am soo glad they changed this as there is nothing I hate more than useless items you can't get rid of. Before you would upgrade simply by buying the next best or ultimate best net or fishing rod without needing to do anything but pay, this is boring but also means that if you slowly buy your way up you're stuck with several crappier tools that you no longer have a use for taking up valueable chest space and those early chests are so unforgiving. THE CON'S: Luck for ore spawning seems totally at random, I am always running out of ore and buying it is too expensive even with a butt-load of money, since we need at least 20 ore per bar or per five bars I forget which, this adds up very quickly. Later on if you get a good upgrade for your pickaxe and plenty of bombs then this is a little easier but I still find myself coming back with less than 50 ores on an average day. A good day maybe 100. Copper ore is perhaps one of the harder ones to find, I had one go at getting some where pretty much nothing spawned the whole time I was searching. It was painful. I'm unsure if there's a food that helps with this or if there's a luck system but if not it's direly needed. The tv serves no purpose for me although I do appreciate the effort put into a couple of shows you can almost do without it You can unlock fast travel quite quickly especially if you have money carried over from an older game making the horse and stable completely redundant, even in my og file I rarely used it. The button for getting off of the horse is also very awkward I wish it was just right click. Machines; only being able to put 3 of any item in at one time drives me crazy and means you have too much space dedicated to machines, sheds are currently bugged and will steal your precious aging barrels or other hard to come by machines so I will no longer trust it or use it until that's fixed. It's been a known issue for several months now but I've seen nothing about it being fixed so that's a little concerning since it can be game breaking or soft lock you for kimchi since it cannot be bought. It's also not immediately obvious what can or can't be put into some machines, like it was not clear I could make syrup with the cheese press and I feel like it would make more sense with the oil maker. Currently potatoes cannot be put into any machine, same goes for pumpkins and taro roots can only be made into juice. It annoys me that basil isn't made into pesto by any of the machines or is an option to make in the kitchen since basil juice seems extremely strange to me. I would like to up the number of production to at least five to maybe ten with a late game add on to certain machines or all machines. 3 is far too little and it's a very awkward number often leaving me with one or two of an item left over that will then take up an entire machine on it's own. Lastly the bugs, ohh boy the bugs. I have constant texture errors in the ocean and over the entire island during winter, this is something that has been present from day one, I was quite shocked how no patch was released to fix some of the occurant issues after 1.0 came out. I'm not sure if their team is small, doesn't have time for it or is simply inexperienced but their constant bugs need more addressing. I also experienced a pretty nasty bug coming out of the ocean one time where the entire doc and several buildings disappeared, thankfully I was able to warp out and it fixed itself a little later. Bronze and gold quality vegetables look too similar to me and could use a more definitive colour change. From the last two updates I have had multiple engine crashes, mainly when diving. The first time I booted up the 1.0 file it was also extremely laggy but has since fixed itself. Item duplication glitch, since quest items and animal care items are unsellable or deletable once they decide to randomly multiply in a chest you are stuck with them in that chest forever. I had a glitch where the photograph intended for the cook (forgot his name) didn't give me the option to give it back to him at some point. So I threw it in a chest and now I have two. Frick. Sardines despite being common were extremely hard for me to catch, rarely cropping up and since I had upgraded my fishing rod I could only get gold or higher so I was worried that wouldn't be accepted. Thankfully it was but that was gonna be a bitch if not. Oh and the fast travel ray doesn't work anymore, his location has been moved to a couple other places but they're mostly unnecessary due to fast travel to I wanna say shrines? they get me where I need to go most of the time. Animal life cycle and the ability to get pregnant; both of these things currently don't exist taking any connection and need to care for the animal out of the part of ranching. If it wasn't for the temple offerings I wouldn't even bother with them. (Plus I need not only more pet options but I would like for the pets to have a job, as well as for rabbits and lizards to be able to go outside on the ranch, maybe in a specialised enclosure like in real life. Ironically I noticed there are 9 cat options 3 of which are black and 8 dog options. But only two rabbits and ONE one sad lil lizard. The lizard stans are crying my dudes!) I would also like more horse variation if they make them actually worth getting, I think they should be less expensive so you use them early game as late game you won't use them at all. there is also a chicken that's clearly supposed to be male but acts as a recoloured female- which can happen in nature but it's out of place in this game. Not all letters show up in the journal, you also have no way to write down tasks if you're super forgetful like me if the game doesn't notify you itself. Could use getting some recipes a little earlier like the oil press, I had automated everything at level 6 farming so it was a little harder to get to level 8 than it otherwise would have been- this is also in part by me planting a lot less because I was loaded. My very last and tiny con is this: WHY THE FUCK DO THE MER PEOPLE HAVE STAIRS, THEY CAN SWIM??? THEY'RE IN WATER???

If you guys care about character dialogues, you may want to wait for a little bit for them to fix some bugs. NPCs will often repeat their lines every single day like Pablo keeps on talking about how his brother is good with handling with tools, Judge Ross with her ramen, etc. Also there are reports that your spouse will congratulate you on your wedding as if they're not your spouse. It's kind of immersion breaking. Nevertheless I agree with Satch and this game is enjoyable and is the most fun I've ever had ever since I played Stardew Valley. This one's a good game for me to play with while waiting for SDV 1.6 release.

I totally agree on the super sexy NPCs 😂 when I first saw Chaem I was in love and called her my boo from the start. The main thing I’m super sad about is the Lake Temple bundles. Half of them once completed don’t unlock anything because that aspect of the game isn’t developed yet 😢 I do love the game though. The mini games at the festival are super fun and addicting. Great video!

LOL Stardew Valley copied Harvest Moon 😂😂😂 Just made it a different experience xD

I have been the biggest Coral Island supporter, BUT they have rubbed me the wrong way promoting the 1.0 release.... WITH AN UNFINISHED GAME. 1.0 means whole, full, Finished - the main story isnt even completed. Fair enough they going to add more cool feature updates, but no excuse for main story not being completed. I didnt notice a difference between last early access update and 1.0 except losing my progress. Ill keep supporting, but that is scammer territory.

Now you're making things hard for me. I wanted to get two games in this sale, one would be Outer WIlds and the other is still undecided... Thanks to you I'm even more indecisive what to get. Coral Island sounds very much like my thing.

Finally! I’ve been searching for a week of a review for Coral Island without a biased take! I wanted to know what people really thought, not the few channels who have been backing the game for years and would not talk about the downside.

Your review came out just in time. I've watched the development of this one & have been going back & forth on whether to buy it. I've always liked the character art style. (Am I the only one who wishes the world had followed that art style for a more cohesive look?) ETA: And for those who want Derek, complain to the developers. Be noisy. I noticed My Time at Sandrock finally made Logan romanceable!

I hate how you say they’re copies of stardew valley when stardew valley is just a copy of Harvest moon 😢

SouthEAST Asia. This game is more along the vibes of SOUTHEAST ASIA.

This game is literally right up my alley. I could never get into stardew, but I love games like this. I’m also going into environmental science specializing in marine life so I’m 100% interested in what this game has to offer

how tf you treated SV like its the first farming game like this???????? while harvest moon been here for decades.

As INDONESIAN, this game is indeed from the "Rune Factory/Stardew Valley" genre, indeed a great game. But from Indonesia perspective, this game like.. kinda disappoint me a bit. It's about the indonesian identity. Like they use some butchered up english words to say some indonesian words. Like.. Krakatau turn into krakatoa or something like that. I cant explain this thing very well to EN audience if you all never experience this thing. You, as a human from X culture, but follows the perspective of ABC culture sees your culture. It's.. dumb. It's like imagine native american call themselves as "indian". Bruh.. that's a term by European colonist there to call the native americans.. 😅 It will like.. gives nonindonesians some misinformation about indonesia stuff 😅. Again, for example, we name it KRAKATAU, not "krakatoa". We call it JAWA, not "java". Jawa, jawanese. Not the silly "java, javanese". KAMPUNG, not "kampong". KARUNG, not "karong". SARUNG, not "sarong". Etc. Edit: and this game obviously heavily inspired by a resort island like BALI. But aside from the butchered indonesia stuff, this game is indeed good

Yeah, it looks great, but a lot of people are saying it's still not FINISHED yet. Release is meant to be a FINISHED game. They released it early for ,money reasons. I bought it on sale, but I'm not going to play it until it's actually finished.

I would looove to see coral island gameplays from you😩 your prerelease videos were so funny

Coral Island is the best farming game since Stardew Valley, you just gotta have a computer that can run it, which not all Stardew players have. It combines a lot of elements that you could only get modded for Stardew into the full game. I get the feeling the 1.0 suggests that they'll continue to update the game from time to time.

I have been playing farming games for officially over 20 years now. I can say with confidence this is the best farming game I’ve played in WELL over a decade.

Dave the Diver is the best diving, exploration, fish hunting, mermaid sea people secret civilization, sushi restaurant management, farming, fish pond, boss fighting, .. out there. LOL

While stardew valley is one of my favorite games, I don’t think u kids realize… Harvest moon is the original. Not stardew valley. If any of these games are “copying” anything… it’s harvest moon. Now I fully understand harvest moon these days is trash but the SNES, PlayStation, n64 versions, (back to nature being the crowning jewel) laid the foundation for all these games INCLUDING stardew valley

Semeru is like Derek with a twist, so I guess we'd get some in 2024 (or whenever they finish the roadmap). I really wish they polished social interactions a bit more. It feels like pulling a leg all the time with a character. Stardew and even Sandrock felt more organic.

oh god please can someone stop saying this is a copy of stardew valley? stardew valley copied harvest moon / story of seasons.. get ur research done , stardew valley did not invent farming game !!!! also its SOUTH EAST ASIA !!!

My favorite game right now. Super sweet and the detail of NPCs stories and connections to each other is amazing! I have to have 4 farms because I can't decide which NPC I love most.

can you do a video on Sun Haven? i think its pretty cool ive played it for months and they had some good updates

I've playing this game for several months now and I love it. I honestly didn't want another farming sim game but when I saw the trailer and how nice the art looked I had to get it. It's pretty unique as well

I used to play coral island but stopped waiting for full launch only to find out savannah not yet added and they are going to be doing some changes to merfolk next year so I will wait till game is complete before returning. Before I stopped playing I had over 1000 hours in game.

i recently started playing this and i agree. my intial impressions was 'this is stardew-3d' which as okay, but mildly disappointing. then i kept playing and it felt less like a stardew clone but more like a game that was made by people who loved stardew but had a different vision so used it as a foundation and expanded it and went their own way, and i quite like it. i especially like that the incremental progress feels so much better than stardew, with the entire town rating mechanic, and the long term town changes that happen through events and progression

It's definitely a sexy game, can't wait for mods, story expansions and DLC.

it is bit odd that people compare this with stardew valley instead of harvest moon bcoz of the story line only, i didnt like stardew, but i play this non-stop! except, when i managed to adopt a pet and i found out that its not finished yet (pet doesnt seems to move around, just stay indoor 1 place) bit disapointed that they call 1.0 already. But! beside that, you already have so much to do!

a bit of correction, the world and culture is based on south east asia not south asia lol. they’re two completely different places.

I LOVE your channel, your reviews, and personality. Ive become a viewer because of sims but wholly appreciate that you are diving into other games! You give such sincere opinions about what you think and its needed! I wish more channels were as genuine!

god bless Mark and Rafael 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 though not having access to Axel and Derek kills me a lil bit 😭

People says copycats of stardew valley but stardew valley was first inspired form Harvest moon

I wanna say that I understand the sentiments that some people have that coral island is a 3d version of stardew valley. The argument so far is that they’re both a farming sim so yes it’ll be similar. But I think what people are unhappy about is the details. E.g Similar to their predecessor Harvest Moon, they have mines and the ability to fast travel through them. stardew valley and coral island mines both feature fast travel waypoints every 5 floors as well as an elevator system, and every ten floors gives you a chest with a reward, which are very similar. The similarities in the story narratives of a large evil corporation coming in to take over and you’re trying to save the town is there. As well as the community bundle system, so it’s easy to say that it’s a rip off. Not to say I’m not enjoying this game at all, all the characters look like they’re from Love Island. This is the first farming sim I’ve played that I actually had a hard choice choosing who I wanted to romance because I wanted all the men including Derek. the combat is much more fluid compared to Stardew because it’s 3D and multidirectional rather than locked in quad direction. I love the diving mechanic. I love the museum, it’s very reminiscent of ACNH as well as the bug catching system. Things I wished coral island had? Some sort of map marker so that I can see where I’m going because the map is huge. And like if our tools were bundled into one like in Fae Farm and it’ll auto switch to whatever we’re using the tool on

"They are ALL so unnecessarily HOT **maniac laugh** " Loved it xD

I'd love to see you doing reviews of more games then Sims! You bring good ideas and points about these types of Similation and Cozy games.

So glad you're brutally honest, I hate it when people tell me things softly.

Thank you Satch, I was debating whether or not get this game, and your review has convinced me to get it!

Thankyou I was not sure if I wanted to buy this today . Your review was the best , going to buy it while its on sale .

It’s Southeast Asian, not South Asian 🥲 The music, names, festivals, lore, architecture are Southeast Asian. The creators are Balinese.

Love how none of the major review sites reviewed the console version...

I only recently started playing Coral Island and to me it feels like an Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley mashup and those are two of my favorite games. I bought it being a little cautious due to the community reactions on Reddit. Though so far I LOVE the game. The sustainability/nature conservation part makes it even better to me ^^ Also I want to note how excited I got when I had the ability to make the character you play plussize! As a plussize girly I adore actually being able to make a character that looks like me. The diversity of the NPCs is also wonderful (as far as I've experienced it within the first 10 hours of playing).

I expected more brutality from a brutally honest review

Is there a long arch story? I want to make sure I get invested in this game, what other better games do you recommend better than this?

not to nitpick but this game is based on SouthEAST asia, which is rather different from South Asia. I really love this game despite its flaws, and I really, *really* hope they keep updating it. thanks for reviewing this!

I love this game for the diversity and more characters you actually see in detail so everyone is hot lol and the whole eco thing because I care a lot for the environnment and having a mission to clean up the ocean and help the town after the oil spill feels more like you have a purpose than stardew valley. I played stardew valley massively and at first I kinda thought Coral island was a bit of a rip off (similar to breath of the wild and genshin impact) but at least they added a ton of new things like mermaids, sea exploration, more characters with more diversity and more animals. Also town rank and more and more rank upgrades like new crops. Also I adore the graphics especially for the food. I do wish they didn't put three black cats that are identical (even though they are supporter's pets) and try and put a pet for everyone like a hamster or a snake. Overall I like it a bit better. So far I've played coral island for 128 hours and Stardew Valley 267 hours (not counting the hours I've played on ps4) so I can compare them pretty well.

For anyone who was mad about "(insert farming game name) copying stardew valley", I get why y'all mad but is it wrong tho? Stardew Valley set the standard of how a modern farming game should be. It is so popular that Harvest Moon name became overshadowed by it. Think of it as if it became a household name but with gamer. That's why people kept referring a farming game as Stardew Valley-esque because of the popularity.

I think this game is really awesome! That said, I think the game still needs some polish in it's current state. Almost through year 1 and I've noticed more and more issues the further into the game I get. From performance issues to simple things like dialogue that doesn't fit the situation (ie a character talking as if they are somewhere they are not), the game seems like it was released a bit early. Definitely having a blast playing, but it is just a bit disappointing any time one of these little issues diminishes the experience of an otherwise excellent game.

Would have given 10/10. Yet the reason not is invalid. I'm watching this because I never played. But the character creation does not seem to be an issue at all. Same with the controls with no info on how it functions on PC which is the main thing to look at.

idk about anyone else but my game is super screwed. It crashes all the time. I love games like this, farming sims and what not. And I am excited to progress. But how can I if I cant donate to the museum or finish a festival without crashing, im on console

You mean copy of harvest moon right?

Since v1.0-943 the Xbox Series X version of the game is constantly CONSTANTLY crashing. Some have reported losing entire saves. The devs claim they have and/or are working on getting those saves back. They claim they did a hotfix and they should be able to get it back minus a few days of progress, but the players responded back saying they havent gotten a fix or prompt to get their saves back and only option is new game. Game is almost unplayable on Xbox in this current build.

South Asian inspired? I’m sure it’s South East Asian

Thank you for your Bruce Lee honest review.

I love the game, but I do experience a lot of lag. When I leave the menu, the game lags every single time.

People keep saying SV, that came out in 2016, SV was definitely inspired by the OG,s which would be Harvest Moon, and Animal Crossing (I feel like I'm missing one) lol, just pixel version really.

What do you mean "unnecessarily" hot? It's VERY necessary :D

there are legitimate complaints to be had, and im sure more will come now that its official out, but a lot of yalls complaints in these comments comes back to you confusing a genre and its trope/mechanics for being a copycat. its not "copying" stardew, they are just the same genre of game and have the same mechanics as... literally every other game in the genre. i think its especially telling that this is a user misunderstanding vs actual game problem because a lot of you only took these games up in the pandemic and are bleeding them together. most of the people who actually play and enjoy the genre have already noted this game is not copying stardew, or animal crossing, or other such games

Satch, I think we've all been too spoiled by TS4 for us complaining about the lack of char customization. Most cozy farming game does not have a lot in that department. But hopefully it will be improved post 1.0! For the precision on controller, I usually use the strafe function meself. It's still heck tricky, but it's easier than blindly tapping. Derek The Builder dude is PRACTICALLY Derek Hale from Teen Wolf lol. I guess one of the dev is a fan 👀 And Semeru is the silver-haired fish dude version of him(can't wait to 🦴 him in '24 lmao) Also yes, we all want Derek and Axel(*cough* latino Geoffrey McCullum *cough*) to be romanceable!

4:55 just wanted to let u know the game isnt based off of south asia but southeast asia! specifically indonesia since the developer is indonesian.

I love this game, litteraly my only complaint is the character customisation tbh Also all the people are smoking hot and actually have personally! I actually have trouble picking my romantic partner

To me, Coral island is the best farming game. A very beautiful game

I love these Harvest Moon type of games. Make more of them~!

I wish this game enabled mods in the future I hope it goes in cureforge

What’s your opinion of this vs Dinkum? I’ve got both but have only been playing dinkum haven’t even started this

I legit laughed when seeing so many Indo words and stuff they used instead of the English equivalent, but as a native I'm not complaining.

I've been playing Coral Island so far and I'm only on Week 2, but I'm having a lot of fun. It's definitely one of the better Stardew Valley clones that i think gets the underlying anti-capitalist message that the original Stardew had in its story. It's not a cash grab. I like the cultural elements, too. I have only one major complaints: It doesn't have the same bite to its characters as Stardew; there aren't struggling alcoholics or secret affairs. At least not that I can see of right now, but that comes up later. I'll see. Otherwise, it's a great game. I've been having a good time.

Thanks for the review, very helpful & I think I'll pick it up even though I also have Stardew Valley.

Have you done a playthrough on your channel of this game? I like your style but Sims really went downhill for me like eight or so years ago. They just monetized everything and shortchanged every pack or item and it took the want to ever play another sims game. This game I could watch you play.

yep. it's so strange to me that all the "eyes" on the male character customization are asian-ish... we need flat eyes, rounded eyes, sad eyes, serious eyes... more eyes please

Yeah I felt like there wasn't a lot faces and such which kind of bummed.

Why couldn’t the mermaids be with the fish part in top and human part on the bottom

Game doesn't work on Xbox. Hasn't since the 1.0 release. Please mention this if you're going to review it.

I have to disagree with all characters looking completely unique. Maybe it's just me having trouble to see the differences in the faces in this artstyle, but they all look like the same kind of disney character and - as you said - they are all way too attractive. That's actually the thing I will always love about Stardew Valley. THESE were unique character models! The only two characters I find kind of looking similar in SV are Caroline and Judy. And they all looked like normal people. I am going back and forth about buying Coral Island because the one thing all cozy games are lacking are deep and unique characters with longer and deeper storylines. The only game that did it kind of well was My Time At Portia. And that is what ultimately keeps me from getting fully immersed in the game. I never want to speak to the townspeople when running past them because it's going to be the next generic line I've heard them say a million times.

I'm thinking of trying this game but am hesitant. If this is worth playing or not? hmm

They had no business making everyone so hot in this game. I had to buy the game, and I don't even like farming games! lol

All i have to say is that it costs 2x what stardew does and it runs pretty bad and i cant make a good looking character... maybe when its out for like another couple years.

This game is absolutely worth a buy for the simple fact it's about a $20 game with soooo much to do yet many $60+ AAA games are complete trash

i will only purchase coral island if Derek is a marriage candidate.

Can you pet the animals?? :)

I've had a visual issue while playing this game but other than that ive been enjoying it, still sucks you cant befriend Derek.

I disagree that it doesn’t feel like a Stardew Valley copy. I love SV but I was looking forward to a new story and a new vibe. Im very disappointed in this and frankly sorry I bought it. I know you have the addition of diving and mermaids but that isn’t enough for me.

Just dont play it on Game Pass or consoles.

Derek is hot. Did know he's not romanceable :(

While I do like it, oh my god does it have issues. For starters the merpeople have no unique dialogue in my game and either repeat dialogue from another npc or can’t be talked to. And the machines. I currently have one stuck to where it’s done but I can’t retrieve the product. Also some of the stuff isn’t all that clear, like where the heck am I supposed to get recipes outside of being sent them

Khem.. bug free? I still can't edit my house on console, i have 4th lvl house and no furniture, because you can't pick any in edit mode😔

Can u make more reviews about those kind of cosy games 🥺❤

Good review. I totally agree with you about Derek. 😢

It's all subjective but I really can't get past the art style personally. It just has that awful, generic like Xbox Avatar look to me, if that makes sense? I definitely prefer the pixel art styles of other similar games

Wait, we can’t romance Derek😢😢

finally not only male or female :0

a wonderful games develop by small team from yogyakarta ❤🎉

I felt so old now knowing most people though farming game now inspired by stardew valley instead of harvest moon/story of season lmao

It looks like Harvest Moon/Story of Season. Especially the set up of farm

So its animal crossing on steroids.
