I honestly believe that other than those players experiencing optimization issues resulting in substantial lag, many of the Not Recommended reviews are way too critical of a game that is offering as much as it is. Yes, it has its share of issues but many of the reviewers leaving a negative review are acting as if every game should be up for Game of the Year before it should receive a Recommended review. I'm not exaggerating there either. Many of the negative reviews are much too critical of the game, in my eyes.
Nonetheless, if I was you, I'd try the Demo and see if what it offers is your cup of tea as it gives enough playtime to give a good enough overall impression of what you can expect of the full game.
Once you do, if you do decide to do so, follow up your demo playthrough by responding to this same topic what you thought of it.
Then, taking it one step further, if you actually decide to purchase the game afterwards, leave a review of your full game playthrough here as well as your review may change from what it was after having played the demo.
If you cook a dish and you ask 100 people what do they think about it, you will have 100 different experience. ;)
I believe there is one best experience and that is your own. I play the game even I know people talk negative, I love the game, I believe have potential and I have see the developer working on fix it.
I wish you a nice day. :)
If you don't care about the social aspects at all it can be a good game. It's pretty and the farming is enjoyable. The mine and combat is pretty fun.
But the game was heavily sold and recommended around prior to launch as being very in dept social sim unlike other farming sims. But once playing you don't get to make any choices for your character and basically follow a pre-planned story, you just get to choose who you talk to or date and where you go but there's no dialogue choices that matter and your character can be quite rude at times, and no choices to do anything about it.
Now if people were randomly mad the game isn't the type of game they wanted that would be weird, but it's the fact it isn't what it was promised to be. They have fixed issues and changed some things on feedback, which is great, but I don't expect a total rework of the social system.
It's a pretty world to grow a farm in but that's mainly what it's got going for it. So it could be great for you if that's what you are looking for.
Gregory, it's a pretty simple answer honestly. Do you like the farming sim/cozy life genre as a whole? If so, there is a good chance there is /something/ you'll enjoy about the game and that might make it worth it to you.
I'll openly agree that a lot of the negative reviews for the game are kind of a bit wonky. SunnySide's not the most polished or a contender for one of the best in the genre, but the sheer amount of love within it made me keep playing it and I have zero regrets at all. I really, really hope it improves over time, or that the developers take what they've learned to make another game in a few years.
If you find yourself unsure? You can always watch videos or wait until there is a sale.
That's why you are not seeing the majority of pc users experiencing performance issues because pc user specs are so wide ranging. Console specs are nowhere near anything like this so the developer can make the necessary tweaks to the game during its porting so that it runs smoothly since each console's hardware are pretty much the same.
Many will seek what they think it can be, but many may see what it is, and not like it.
(This is a very generalized answer, I have a lot of criticisms of the game, but *right* now it's at a barely positive balance point.)
And that’s the crux of the issue : this IS a full release, yet the game is in an (early) early access state. And well, people tend to be much less lenient when they expect a finished product and receive a beta version than when they get an unfinished game that is labelled as such.
As I say in my own review, the game was released with a heavy backlog on the bug-tracking site. In other words, devs released a buggy game with full knowledge of this fact.
Once again, don’t get me started on the performance issues.
So yeah, the game has potential and that would net a lot of positive reviews for an early access game ; but for an actual release, you don’t want potential, you want to see it fulfilled – and it fails to do so. I certainly hope it goes the No Man’s Sky route and get its redemption arc but as it is currently… you can probably trust the reviews to reflect the state of the game.
The game still has a demo it lets you play till day 10 on a save. You can play till day 10 on different saves if you want to explore different aspects more closely in each.
Yes. Fields of Mistria proves this very well. Less than a third of the story in game, and has a ton of bugs, including game breaking ones, but it has Overwhelmingly positive reviews. This would not have been the case if it was e.a. even if it did have all the story in it. Most players are very forgiving of flaws when a game has the e.a. label on it.
Demos don't usually let you do much, so I'll need to do more then just test the demo before I decide.
You're thinking about buying the game, it has a demo available to get a first-hand look and feel for how it plays but don't want to try it out because it won't provide enough material to get a real feel for it?
