Sakuna was created with a quite small development team, and they surely did exceed my expectations. It's a perfect balance between intense to peaceful moments. The game shifts through seasonal activities to keep your companions and yourself fed. So, daily you will cultivate the rice farm in the morning by checking the water level, fertilizing it, getting rid of pesky amphibians and insects. When that is over, you can start exploring.

Furthermore, you can feel when playing the game that there has been a lot of thoughts put into it. Since there is a good story with lore, voice acting in most cutscenes, good mechanics, different difficulty settings which can be changed mid-game, you owning a rice field.

The only con I have about this game is that certain translated words are quite hard to understand since it's like those hard fancy words that people try to use in scrabble to get more points or to make sentences feel more elegant when having a normal conversation. It is not a big issue.
