Roots of Pacha is hands down my favorite game of the last year. The characters are very loveable imo. I really hope this doesn’t turn anyone down from playing it :(

Those Sims 1 jams, I never get tired of them. They were designed to be listened to for many many hours - and after over 20 years, I'm still nowhere near tired of them.

I love that you gave all these a fair shot and you’re so open about your experiences with them! 😻🌷

Your criticism of not knowing when events trigger is actually a reason I've liked farming games since playing Harvest Moon 64. I like slowly building up everyone's affection and randomly running into events as I run around doing chores 😊

Rune factory 4 special isn’t a remake it’s just a port of the 3DS game, that’s why the graphics look like that

It is hard to choose a game to play because many players rave they are all such amazing games. I regret buying so many games on my Nintendo switch.

I demand more content like this 😂 The intro is epic!

I have always believed that A Wonderful Life is definitely NOT for everyone. It can be such a needlessly obtuse and bizarre experience. So I don’t blame you at all for bouncing. I agree with a lot of your other remarks too, at least for the games I’ve played. In particular, Doraemon SoS is SUCH a gorgeous game to look at it, but it’s very slow to start, and it loses steam after a while and becomes a slog. I will say that I love Harvestella though. It caught me completely by surprise how much I fell in love with the characters and the surprising amount of humor. Plus the story just gets absolutely bonkers. But I admit that the combat is a letdown. Very simplistic, which is unfortunate in a game that is like 75% RPG, 25% farm sim. Absolutely respect all your opinions, and would love to see more content like this! ❤

sakuna of rice and ruin is a fantastic rice farming game, it has a yearly rice harvest where you manage water level, temp, weeds, pests and fertilizer. plus 2d sidescrolling action rpg to gather materials

YES!! I totally hear where you are coming from with the motion sickness. I have the same issue. You talking about it is acctually super helpful feedback.

I'm a huge fan of the original wonderful life but after playing the remake I realised I was remembering it through rose tinted glasses!

I guess those of us who played the hell out of the original A Wonderful Life and/or Another Wonderful Life can only truly appreciate the remake, with the exception of the changes they made of course, like Cody not being Cody and not being buff either lol or Griffin now being Gavin, or the fact it's called Forgotten Valley instead of Forget-Me-Not Valley lol

Omg you pretty much listed every single game I was sort of interested in/on the fence about getting. Thanks for validating that I don’t actually need them 😅

This is the kind of content I like! It helps me decide on which games to play or not to play next. Thanks!

I had a different experience with Harvestella. I hated the first couple of chapters and then fell in love with the story on the later half. Lol

I agree with the trigger systems. I personally also hate games that are unclear with what you should do. I tried SDV 5 times but I can't get into it. It tells you nothing.. no hints no direction... stores that are always closed when you need them XD

Even before the remake was announced, I usually would tell people that the original Wonderful Life isn’t a game that I would recommend to beginners and only major HM fans. I always thought it was boring and haven’t bought AWL , which is surprising for me since I’m a huge fan.

I couldn't agree more with your feeling about AWL. I wanted so bad to love it but I think I made it a week in game before just never wanting to open it again. Really the only game I'm not on the same page with you would be Roots of Pacha. Not a perfect game by any means but the characters and setting have really grabbed my heart. It has become one of my absolute favorite cozy games. Thanks for the great content as always.

I really wanted to like the doraemon one since I LOVE the art style 😞 sadly, I never liked both games. Thank god there’s a demo for them for the switch

Oh my, it took me 9 minutes before I realized where the soundtrack was from!! And I 100% agree, I don't enjoy many games most of people did enjoy and I barely share it with someone, because I feel almost ashamed that I don't like these "works of art!". I think that no matter how good the game is (based on reviews), the only important thing is for you to enjoy it. I mean, are we really going to pretend for maybe even hundreds of hours that we are into something that we don't even like? Time is too precious to waste it on stuff like these.

Love the honesty :) I regret buying Grow: song of the Evertree, I could not get into it ; I loved the first few hours of Garden Paws but got bored quite quickly, both a bit of motion sickness too

Had the same sentiment for Roots of Pacha. Bought it mainly to play a different farming theme but the number of NPC in the game was too much for my brain to keep tabs on. Even the cave puzzles was not something I enjoyed yet, I like it for what it is and the unique stuff it has.

I tried Portia initially on the switch and enjoyed it, but I soon got frustrated with the game constantly crashing. The loading times were painful. I have drift issues with my joy cons, so that was another frustrating issue. I have since played it on the Xbox and it was a way better experience.

for me, after playing my time at sandrock, it was SO hard to get back to portia. i love the story and the characters so much, but the mechanics were so clunky when i tried playing again. i agree with what you said about portia on the switch. i started on the switch, and playing on pc afterwards was such a breath of fresh air. everything ran infinitely better. i also got really frustrated with the trigger events in rune factory 4. the fact that it could be really difficult to unlock an entire arc of the story was a bit off putting, but at least the wiki was helpful. i'm still mixed on how to feel about the crafting systems (for both 4 and 5). i feel like i would enjoy it more if the hidden mechanics of crafting were explained more in depth since it does seem like you need to know them in order to finish the full story/game in both. i will say, i liked the story of 4 a lot more than 5, but i do think 5 has the better characters by far. i'm very excited to see what the next two rune factory games come up with. personally, games i regret buying are roots of pacha, kynseed, and the more recent story of seasons games. i just can't get into them for whatever reason, and i don't feel like forcing myself to get past the first couple of hours in any of them.

You really nailed my feelings with Roots of Pacha. The positives most people rave on seem to be minor novelties that I quickly realized were just facades

Respect to you for being honest. I'm more likely to believe a streamer that is capable of being open about their preferences and experiences. I don't necessarily agree with every single game you mentioned, but I can appreciate your reasoning and tastes. Thank you for being authentic. I also like reading the comments of others about their own experiences with games. We tend to want to be positive and justify our purchases, so it's nice to come clean and admit what didn't live up to the hype. For me, lately, it's Palia; and No Place Like Home.

Oh thank God. Finally I find someone who doesn't like roots of pacha. The clock went crazy fast and it was difficult to socialise and fulfill all the goals at once

Thanks for the interesting video! It's always nice to have a "in the end what did I think of it" insight on games :D Hmm, I actually played My Time in Portia on the Switch quite a while back and loved it, though yeah it's was pretty buggy/clunky haha But I was totally hooked. I didn't get any motion sickness, but I guess not everyone gets motion sickness for the same reasons, for me it's mostly first person view that triggers it, and perhaps playing it on TV helped?

I appreciate videos like this! There's nothing worse than paying for a game that's been hyped up by everyone else and then just..... Hating it.

Thanks for sharing your opinions Miss Bubbles! I had tried a lot of games in my young life and there was some I was surprised I didn’t care for like Miitopia and I appreciate your honesty! 🌸

Story of Seasons lost me when it told me I had to get married in the first year or leave. I'm sorry, that's not a community, that's a cult.

Biggest regret for me was probably Rune Factory 5 on Switch 😢 I wanted to get into it but the amount of performance issues that never got adressed totally pulled me out of this game, similar to Pokemon Violent btw SIMS 2 soundtrack LETSGOO

I liked Pioneers of Olive Town quite a lot but A Wonderful Life was too much repetitive, kinda lacking something… all that seems to be motivating is the story and none of the characters has interested me enough to keep playing too

I'm enjoying your rant so much! 😂

I definately regret getting Story of Seasons its a wonderful life - i cannot get past the first year. It is sooo boring. My first Story of Seasons was Friends of Pioneer Town and there was sooo much to do! I thought when developers remake a game, they upgrade not just the graphics but also the gameplay? It’s a wonderful life feels like it was made for a 4 year old to play

I am glad I watch this video. I thought about Harvestella but fighting is the element I dislike the most in my farming cozy games.

I saw a lot of people complaining that they had emotion sickness with My Time At Portia

That squeak 😅 forgot to mute and my dog was like WHAAAAT was that 😂😂

Id love for them to make more games like Harvestella actually! Great content as always and i see you alrafy have deployed the shield wall for reactions. 😂

I love Doraemon SOS! I agree about the trigger system, but ngl, half the time I ignore that stuff and just farm 😂😭 part of me wonders how I poured 70 hours into Doraemon SoS without actively trying to progress the story hahah I did end up progressing as I went but just by chance. The newest entry fixed the control problem and while there are still trigger events (cause it’s still SoS hah), the story is a lot more clear. Whenever you need to progress, you get the cutscene usually first thing in the morning telling you what needs to happen. There are lots of QOL changes and more accessible prices for customizing! Maybe watch some gameplay and see 😄

Thank you so much for sharing your opinion. Really helps saving some lil money or lower expectations or just expectation since we all different, loved your deep explications

LOVE the music in the background, giving me flashbacks to when I was a kid. The most recent game I regret buying was Everdream Valley on PS5. I was bored within 10 minutes and put it down and haven't touched it since. I was super disappointed I paid full price for it and can't get a refund for it. Oh well, that's what I get for getting it on day 1 instead of waiting for a sale like I usually do (and by then more reviews would have been out for it too)

nice video bubbz and love the honesty. i still like harvestella a lot even though i haven't played in a while , but i can see why you stopped playing. 😂😂

I hope you review ova magica when it comes out, really fits your channel and it looks promising!

Funny that I’m finding this video just after I finished Harvestella since I’m looking for information on the next game I might pick up. I quite enjoyed Harvestella but it does take a good bit for it to pick up steam and the combat does get fairly repetitive, there are a wide variety of classes to pick but you do have to grind up each individually so if you don’t like the grind it will discourage job experimentation. Despite its flaws I still enjoyed it quite a bit but i know it’s not for everyone.

Thank you Ms. Bubbles for this helpful list video. I was talking to a twitch streamer about how nobody is allowed an opinion on video games recently so this is ironic. I agree with My Time of Portia even though I don’t have a switch but I have different issues with the save system on PS4. 😊

Hilariously, Rune Factory 5 is me of those games for me. It made me like and appreciate 4 even more. Though I had a similar reaction to you with Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility. Like it was fine, but the Animal Parade came out and I was like “Oh, this is just SO much better” that it made me like ToT way less. Others that come to mind for me are Calico and Cozy Grove. They both seemed cute and had some good ideas, but I just ended up being bored.

Thank you so much for your honesty and helping me not waste more money. Since steam has only 2 hours for refunds I feel like that is not really enough time to get a good feel for some games to determine if it's for you or not. I definitely agree about Hokko Life the trailer looks good I literally keep trying to give it a chance but since I got the game back in August I still only have 4 hours of game time there is just nothing that pulls me in.

I finally found someone who had a horrible experience with my Time At Portia on switch, I literally couldn't play it :(

Harvestella does have a dodge mechanic, but you have to unlock it from the skill page Been a while since I played but once you do you hit LZ button and dash in the direction you're facing to move past incoming attacks.

😂😂😂 gotta love positive people. Youre one on the more positive channels out there so seeing ya frown made me chuckle

I actually was weary about the Wonderful Life remake and chose to wait. I remembered that while the original was one of my first farming games, I had issues with it. Then I got Harvest Moon DS and let’s just say, I got really tired of the Valley and characters at this point so I really don’t have a big sentimental attachment. For me, a cozy game I regret was actually Story of Seasons Pioneers due to a lot of reasons. Maybe Rune Factory 5 but that could be I just haven’t played enough of it. I have a couple of the games on your lists but I wouldn’t say I regret getting the games, I just haven’t played them very much as other games took my attention (Coral Island and Sun Haven being my biggest). I will say though that I really wish I get more fantasy farming games but with less rpg. What I mean is lets have the magic and different races of Rune Factory and Sun Haven, but without the whole World saving, lives at stake quests/storylines and more of just creating the farm, building up relationships, et cetra. I also am a little sick of Rune Factory Amnesia plot and would like more games that use art styles graphic of Coral Island and Palia instead of pixel art, which threw me off of Stardew and Mine Craft if I am honest (even though I like Sun Haven and Roots of Pacha). But that is just me.

i tried a wonderful life and it was bad enough that i got a refund on it. it really did not age well and they should not have remade it lol. i'd rather see an Animal Parade remake, because that game was freaking legendary.

The only thing from this list that I actually have a separate opinion on is Roots of Pacha. To be fair, I got it about 3 weeks ago, but im enjoying it a lot. I think what really drew me in was how the plants actually evolve as you play through it and the amount of decorations you can have out.And the animal breeding and color variants are cool as well (if you like collecting all the varieties lol). I do however completely get where you are coming from with the NPCs, they all are fairly forgettable and i dont feel as involved with them as I usually am in these types of games. I know this is a old vid but I just found your channel and am thoroughly enjoying how respectful you are with your opinions on games. Hopefully the pitchfork mobs stop coming after you lol.

The sims 1 buy mode theme in the background! Gives me nostalgia i miss playing that game❤❤😢😢

I really appreciate honest reviews. It helps me make up my mind if I would like a game or not. Every game is subject to a players preference, so people should always consider that. I loved rune factory 4 right up until I could not complete a maze and couldn't find how to do it online, so I gave up on it. That was before the fifth one came out. It was a great game, but bad on directions if you got stuck. My regret buys, which will be controversial for some, are sos friends of mineral town and pioneers of olive town. I just didn't find them at all engaging 😅. Got bored really quickly. Another one was Dinkum. Although a great game in a lot of ways, the in your face combat everywhere caused me anxiety (which I do suffer with), so I had to stop playing it. I would not recommend it to anyone who suffers with anxiety and gets triggered by this kind of combat. Thankfully, there are tons of cosy farming games to suit all tastes. Nobody should ever be rude because someone else feels differently about something. We should always respect we are all different and like different things. Reviews that cover all aspects of a game helps me see if something is in it that wouldn't be for me, so thank you for covering so much of so many games. It often saves me making more mistake buys! ❤

My favorite farming game so far is Story of seasons a wonderful life, but I see your point I just got to the proposal part and now what to do?

hi! Im SO glad to talked about motion sickness on the switch. my bf gifted me temtem on the switch and i absolutely cant play it because it gives me a headache and makes me feel dizzy. its a shame and i hope more people would talk about it😭

Garden paws .. messes up so much . I have it on steam and I had my whole island changed into a different island layout I finally gave up way to many problems .

I had the same experience with Portia on switch. I bought it during the sale, but still wasted money due to it’s unplayability.

The fact that my phone plays games better than the Nintendo Switch is a shame 😂

A wonderful life i agree isnt for everyone. But im 32 and it was my first harvest moon/story of seasons game. So it got me into the farming sims and is my most fave game as i love the slow paced game and relationships as well as unlocking scenes and aging while seeing my child grow. It holds a special place in my heart and always will as my fave. Im glad u gave the game a try at least

I loved this video! I really appreciate how you described the things you disliked - very good criticism imo. :D You’ve earned a subscriber! Most of these were ones i passed on too. I had basically the same opinions on all if these. The biggest regret for me with Hokko Life was when the animal characters were changed. I bought it in early access, trusting what i had heard that they would be changed again… but ugh, they are so uncanny to me.

I agree with Hoko Life it is the only game I regret buying, and I was really hoping it would get better, so in the end I had it too long to return it.

I got roots of pacha and even though it might not be for everyone I can honestly say there are some things I dislike about it but there are things I like so I can understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea

My #1 regret is Brookhaven and I'm so glad that it's not just me feeling this way now, bless you Miss Bubbles I really really try to love it for the same reason that you mentioned, but it's so unplayable for me especially on the control department.. When I mentioned this on discord I got dissed because it's a "me" problem due to how badly I am confused on how to play with the early on control in the game.. (just to clarify with KB+m not controller) So I waited for patches and updates and give it another go and it still the same.. I'm at a point where I can't even refund it and I hate the fact that it gives an achievement on the start of new game after they implement achievements so now it forever tainted my overall achievements progress % as well...

I had issues with My Time At Portia on the switch as well. Plus the graphics seemed to have been downgraded for performance, and there's no voice acting. However, for anyone interested on a better console port, I recommend the PS4 version. The graphics are like PC, and there's voice acting!

I agree so much about Harvestella!! I was loving it, but besides getting my butt kicked, I CANNOT beat the water/mermaid boss!!😭 So, I’m stuck, and I just am sick of trying now. 😢

I feel like the Harvest Moon remakes or Story of Season games rely so heavily on nostalgia for most of them. I enjoyed the old remakes because that's what introduced me to this genre 20+ years ago before the "dark age" of farm sims until Stardew Valley rejuvenated the genre. I often tell friends if you have great memories of Wonderful Life or Friends of Mineral Town, get it on sale and enjoy the nostalgia factor, but if you started Stardew and beyond, they're probably not worth picking up, IMO.

Girl, I feel you on a lot of these. I couldn't get into Hokko Life at all. I'm trying with Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life...I keep thinking maybe I need to play it more. Harvestella could had been more. You like whatever you like and not everyone is going to like the same thing.

I never played the first doraemon SOS but I have played friends of the great kingdom and really enjoyed it, I sunk so many hours into it 😅. I really regret buying SOS:a wonderful life - so many people said it gets better after the first year so I stuck at it and still don't like it. Great video, I like to see what games people haven't enjoyed and give an honest opinion..thank you.

Wow, our tastes are very similar. I couldn't get into Doraemon SOS, Rune Factory 4, or Hokko Life either for the same reasons (except Rune Factory 4 was my first game in the series). I also love My Time at Portia, but I only bought it for the Switch. As laggy as it was, I enjoyed the hell out of it at the time because I was so desperate for a game to give me something that I wasn't getting from Animal Crossing New Horizons (the whole reason I bought my Switch!).

Brookhaven Grimoire WAS abandoned. In 2022 the dev just said she was done working on it. Really sucky since it has such a cool premise :(

I love Rune Factory 4 and Doraemon SoS but I definitely agree with what you are saying. I finished the main storyline for Doraemon SoS but couldn't unlock all the cutscenes with the other villagers because I didn't build friendship high enough or just wasn't at a certain place at a certain time. After completing the main storyline and clocking in 80 hours I was getting very bored of the game because I cannot be bothered to search the internet to know where I am supposed to be at a certain time. It's still a great game with fantastic artstyle but I see why this aspect turn people off 😂

I stopped playing My Time at Portia because I kept passing out. Time goes by too fast.

I've seen a meme recently that said: "Fighting on the internet is similar to a turn based combat" So let the battles begin, shall we?! 🤣 lol just kidding... Let's stay civil!

The intro. 😂😂😂

I was thinking of getting Hokko Life on Switch and your opinion helped me a lot. Think I might give it a pass.

I love rune factory 4 and Harvestella but I can understand they’re not for everyone. I keep trying to enjoy rune factory 5 but I get annoyed about how it runs on switch. However you’re spot on about SOS AWL. I was excited because I played it on GameCube but got bored or followed the wiki so much that it didn’t feel fun anymore.

Ahhh! We agree on something. Rune factory 4 Special. Now, I hadn't played mine yet. I did watch someone and stopped for a bit thinking it might be a good game. However, I underestimated what kind of rune factory fan I am. Rune factory 5 is indeed the one I love because I played all the wii rune factories that are considered side games or not part of the main series. I was shocked that I liked the side games better than the original line. However, rune factory 5 followed the side games. So! Yay!🎉

THANK YOU for calling out My Time at Portia! I felt like I was the only freaking person on the planet that was disgusted by their lack of work on the Switch Port.

I couldn't agree more with your opinion on Harvestella and Doreamon!! Thankfully there was a free trial for Harvestella since I really wanted to love it but I am glad I didn't waste my money. The combat ruined it for me.

The like/dislike ratio on such an uncontroversial video says everything. Its an opinion people, not a review.

I was getting motion sickness this video...lol. So I just got Switch: My Universe Green adventure farmer friends. I get motion sickness and cant figure out the game. My favorite farm game is on Facebook. Farm Town. I wish I can find a nice relaxing farm game that wont make me sick. Thank you for a cool video. Just subscribed.

I regret My Time at Portia. I played it on Switch and it was so buggy. I also hated the crafting system; way too easy to make the wrong huge structures.

Haven’t heard those old sims tunes in ages! Forever burnt into the back of my brain 🤣

omg garden paws i had the same issue on pc , not the fps drops but how it made me want to throw up , i think it's the camera shake since there is no option to disable it if i remember correctly D: for me harvestella and rune factory 4 are one of the best games i've ever played , but they are definitely not for everyone . and they have a realllly slow start .

Everdream Valley should be mention and need more awareness...

I was expecting fae farm to be on here (alot of people complain about it) but i remembered that i don't think fae farm was out when this video was uploaded

I was really dispointed with Harvestella too. But for me i didnt know that it would be that much RPG. Also SoS AWL disappoited me because i had so good memories of it when i was younger. But i really loved Roots of Patcha and RF4 remake 😊

SOS Doreamon & Hokko Life is so painfully boring. I feel nauseous thinking if I have to resume playing these games again.

I didn't enjoy my time in portia, I found the controls/camera annoying and the map hard to follow 😅 everyone has different taste, that's why there are different games and style

I watched your video on Hokko Life and was wary because I trust your opinion, but I tried it out anyway. It is a small regret. I do not hate it, but I do not love it. I should have waited for a deep sale. Thank you for making these kind of videos. Not every game is super fantastic.

I also quit My Time at Portia on the Switch. The frame rate was so low it was barely moving. I think this was the first game I actually gave up on because of frame rate. I’m not too sensitive to it as long as it’s moving along. Less than 60 fps? I don’t care. 30 fps? Fine. 20? Ok. Portia moved at about 2. I also saw people saying they had no problem but I can’t see how it runs so differently on the same system but they must have had really good luck!

Rune Factory 4 bad, RF5 good, Harvestella bad. Man, we have completely different tastes. Guess that means I should try Doraemon lol.

Personally, I love RF4 but I can see how it's not for everyone. Oddly enough I picked up RF5 as well but couldn't get into it... though I want to give it another chance. I just think its cuz Farming sims tend to start slow. RF is easily becoming one of my favorite game series so I can't wait to pick up the new games they have in store. Esp the project dragon spin off. I love Eastern Fantasy in general so I can't wait for that one to come out. The graphics and art style for that one are beautiful as well.

Thank you for this video, I agree on Harvestella, thankfully that had a demo and I think I saw enough people play Roots of Pacha to know I don’t neeeeed to play it… Disney Dreamlight Valley (Nintendo Switch) is the game for me that I regret buying. It feels so clunky and I got bored. I am usually saying that the only good thing about the game is that it takes resources from every chest you have no matter where they’re placed for cooking and crafting - BIG plus! I have over 165h in the game so far. I need many many more updates to come back to it.

I personally wanna see Story of Seasons: Animal Parade remake with quality of life improvements. Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos actually impressed me. I think natsume might be finding their own niche in the farming sim genre. Today I got My Time at Sandrock for PC for Christmas so I'm watching farming sim channels while it installs rn.

I loved Harvestella but the farming and combat elements did not mingle well. Made me wonder why they even added farming (though I did enjoy that element). And the character customization was awful. Side quests weren’t my favorite either.
