Very fun and wholesome game so far, upon realizing I could interact with the birds, I proceeded to throw several as far as I could. This is the future.

Some things I would like to see in the future: a Day/Night cycle, I want to watch the sunset with penguin bro, more decorations that you can interact with, such as a campfire, if we do get a campfire, I demand the ability to make s'mores

Consider more of a "mixed" review then a straight positive review. I didn't really love this game, but I would still recommend it. Why? Well, I simply didn't fully understand what I was getting myself into. I bought this assuming it would be similair to stardew valley, but without the town sim/dating stuff. That literally couldn't be farther from the truth. This game really is just a chill farming game, with incredible music and beautiful graphics. But the keyword there is chill. There is little progression in this game. There isn't any incentive to farm a ton of crops, and then sell them to buy anything. The only incentive to grow things is the very few things you need to build certain buildings (i.e 2 "turnips" or 3 "blue flowers"). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's just not for me. If you like really relaxing, hands off sandbox games, this is perfect for you. But don't expect any real progression aside from some lite building and exploring. Do I regret buying this game? No, it was a great experience. Just not really what I want from a VR farming sim.

I saw a bird
my brain immediately went "BIRB"
I went up to go pet the bird like I do in every vr game I play
I was actually able to pet it
I started having an aneurysm



100/10 definitely recommend

VR is in desperate need of a Casual and busywork sort of game, similar to Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. I would love to see this go further.

It is pretty barebones right now, but why not snag it on sale?

Also for those people who are skeptical about getting it because there hasn't been many updates on it, devs have confirmed on their Discord server that its on the backburner until Budget Cuts 2 is out. They'll be going all into this game after they get that released.

First, I 100% recommend this game.

Great game so far. Beautiful graphics, its clean, and feels very polished honestly. Quick pace with the vegetables! you do not have to wait 14 days... I agree with the day/night cycle add though, this would make the game feel more realistic.

I love the fact i can throw my gardening equipment at the garden equipment stand and have it attached to the stand! This is very helpful/

Only cons/recommendations I can think of is:

1. Please introduce a backpack, woodcutting is a pain with no backpack. If this is already in the game and I did not notice, sorry :)
2. Day/Night Cycle.
3. I would like a small story... just something that makes me feel like i need to accomplish something.
4. names of the thing I am holding and/or just created.I made the item the cow wanted me to make and could not figure out what is was at first.

Only "bug" so far:
If you teleport to close to the really cool crafting globe, it might trigger creation. I made a fence when i was trying to build a flower bed as i only had enough wood for the fence in the globe. The crafting globe button is a little wonky with how it pushes in as well, it does not always do it. (sorry for calling it crafting globe, i have no idea what it is called).

This is a really great start! I've played for about an hour so far, and here are some thoughts.

Things I like so far:

- I spent about 1/2 my time driving the boat. I think this is the best cartoon boat sim in VR right now. I even had to duck to see tall objects through the windows, just like in real life! I was genuinely excited when I found a treasure chest (with carrots) on an otherwise hard-to-reach part of an island.
- The physics of the teleport arc is a really neat touch. It is a refreshing change from the rigid light arcs that are common.
- The art style is amazing, with lots of subtle detail in the 3D models and textures.
- I love the wall-mounted note board! I moved all the notes I could find onto the board, and it was very satisfying (didn't get saved, but I am sure the developers will get save/load working soon).
- Overall, the game is relaxing and designed so the player gets out of it what they put in (much like other collect/farm/craft games). I could see myself spending a day collecting/crafting, and then taking the next day off to drive the boat around and just chill.
- Fishing will be a great addition.

There are a few things that didn't work on the first day of Early Access, but that is expected and I had a great time playing this!

No graphical or frame rate issues with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and AMD Ryzen 7 1800X.

I just want to pet the animals.

Got this for my girlfriend to play, and she loved it. I tried playing it and kinda felt like I needed to beat it. Told a friend to get it for her kiddos, and her husband ended up playing it for way too long. Its a good game. Try it out.

Its a pretty simple casual game, but it will keep you occupied. You start out on your island and have to unlock a few areas before you can really explore other island, but along the way you'll make some creature friends, all of which you feed and love. Overtime, these creatures can have babies that you can also love and repeat.

There's also an upgrading system to your home and tools, along with a merchant where you can buy/sell items. You'll create small farm areas to grow various things that are used to feed creatures, upgrade things, or sell for cold hard coins used for purchases.

I don't believe any new content will be updated (as of August 2023), but would love to see if the developers take this anywhere else, or create a new game. If you focus on just powering through the story missions, you can beat this game in probably 5 hours or less. However, if you spend time loving on the creatures and upgrades, you can pull probably over 24 game hours.

Movement controls and grabbing controls are finicky, but the atmosphere is quite pleasant. The put-put of the boat is very cute. A great escape.
