Charming, relaxing, and with a good, satisfying grind. If you're into farming sims this game is definitely worth giving a try.

Gameplay-wise it plays more like a 3D Farmville than Stardew Valley. There is no plot, and there are no fictional characters to meet, it's just you and your farm. Crops you plant grow in real-time and continue growing even after you close the game, so you can set your own pace by planting crops that take several hours or days to grow. Unlike in Farmville however crops don't wither if you don't water or harvest them in time, so there are no stressors in that regard. Some plants can only be planted in certain seasons, but they don't die once the next season starts. (Each season lasts about 20 minutes and this too progresses in real-time).

I've had great experiences with the multiplayer aspect of this game as well. Most of the people I've met have been really nice, and visiting other people's farms (besides filling your boost meter) also gives you inspiration for how you want your own farm to look. There's a wide variety of cosmetic items and furniture to change up the look and feel of your farm, and you can own a pet!

The game has a slow start, though, so that's something to take into consideration. It's not until you're able to build the big gas pump that the game really hits its stride. Even driving can feel a bit slow at times, but having to walk is excruciating (and for some reason there are 2 walking speeds: slow and slower). My only other complaint is a very minor one, which is that the default expression of the characters seems to be sad and fearful. And this doesn't matter all that much 'cause I don't see my character's face 99.9% of the time, but it shows up in the banner art, DLC promo art and in-game pictures as well and I wish they'd just look a little happier.
