I’ve only spent 30-ish hours yet, but from my perspective:

It’s cute, a solid beta, but not quite “there” yet.

It aims to be a third person Harvest Moon style game, which focuses on peaceful building of your farm, growing both your homestead, relationships and sense of community. Adding a dash of adventure and world story to keep you hooked.

All the parts for this are in place, but the MMO part means everything is real timed, and during the 8 real-time hours it takes for your house to get an expansion, you need some other entertainment.

The world is pretty, but there’s not enough to it (yet) to go exploring for explorings sake. Mainstory progress is slow, as each step is gated behind skill progression, and skill progression is basically 8 variants of grinding.

There’s little to no quests helping with your grinding, and grinding goes faster than the timers require, so you’re kind of stuck grinding out of boredom.

And if you, like me, find yourself grinding for materials you expect to need in the next tier, you also end up exploring all of the world ahead of time, and discover the exploration rewards as a distraction from your grinding.

Meaning rather than being delighted, you get annoyed by having your inventory filled with random quest/relationship items you haven’t got a use for yet, as well as being deprived the exploration rewards when the story later urges you to explore.

Tl;dr: It could be cool, the core mechanics are solid, we’ll have to see if the writing, pacing and narration can bring it home to a complete game.
