Heavy like a Brinks truck

I discovered most of the things by now but there's still more to do, and this game is less than one year old and in early access. I definitely understand people who want a finished product but even right now the game is good, interesting and entertaining

This game is half done. Crashes, bugs and flaws, full of them. The game is fun and full of potential but not worth spending money on. Wait for a (big) sale.
Also, devs are busy building more half done cash grabbing games instead of fixing what they already have built. I really hoped they won't be *this* type of studio, sadly I was disappointed.

Everything is an unbalanced chaos. Can't recommend until patches and changes are made.

Chill, fun, beautiful, creative. It's 98% positive for a good reason.

The function of fighting didn't work for me. I tried changing the keybind and restarting the game and it didn't help.
I also realized that cat fights are not for me. I'd rather fight slimes in the mines of Stardew Valley, and pet and love the cats I feed IRL.

A good game to play while listening to boring classes on Zoom. The DLCs are really cheap but I wish I didn't have to spend any money to get 100% achievements.

I technically finished the entire game in 14 hours, the extra 5 were to grind the last achievement, but I'll get to that in the end as a sidebar for the completionists and also for the dev team, as they seem to comment on every review here.

The pros of this game are:
1. The well fitting music, I usually don't enjoy in-game music in games like this but here it's *chef's kiss* for my ears
2. The simplicity of the levels - Not in a bad way of course, I'm pretty sure every player of games like this doesn't expect a Dark Souls type of challenge (but now that I think of it, that sounds entertaining). The instructions (or perhaps better said "the tasks") are clear, the tutorial helps understand all the tools you use in-game and you get hints sometimes to help you master the mechanics faster.
3. The game is repetitive, yes. You can't expect this game not to be repetitive. But every level has its own distinct tasks and it wasn't felt as a dull task until you have to furnish the station (and even there you have a lot of freedom in deciding how your station is going to look like). Definitely a pro.

The less pros:
1. The biggest one I felt was the grind. Even if you're not a completionist some levels were a bit tedious to finish (both the tasks required to proceed and the 100% for each map).
2. I have a decent rig and it still seemed to make an effort running the game. It got stuck for a moment a few times, mostly when placing items, so I guess optimization might still be an issue, even though I didn't experience problems.
3, The movement speed is quite slow, but maybe it's because I'm used to playing high-speed non-human characters in various games.

About the achievements: Most of them can be achieved in one playthrough, if you read them before starting to play. My last achievement to complete was the "throw 400 items correctly into a segregated container". Here's what happened to me: Apparently I destroyed with my axe too many items instead of throwing them as they are into the container, even though some of them were too large to fit in. I checked my appdata files and my save file had 393 items correctly thrown and I have to say I didn't use my axe a lot. Since you can't redo levels, that means either start a new save file and grind the entire game again without using your axe on segregated trash, or change the appdata file to fit the achievement like one of the guides suggested. Also that 400 counter is per save file and not globally (on all of your saved files. So that 393 I had meant nothing). That bummed me a bit.

Overall I do recommend the game because it was fun for me, I will say though that waiting for a discount on it is not a bad thing to do. This game is definitely not for people who don't enjoy slow paced games or ones where you need to look at every single small detail (yes, small triangle pieces of trash that are hidden behind desks, I'm talking about you!!!)

First of all, kudos on the graphics. The world is beautiful.
And now the disliked parts:
This game can't be counted as casual. You need a lot of brain power to make it through.
On the other hand, the game is too short and too unrewarding to NOT be called casual. Obviously, the difficulty scales as you progress, but it feels like too much when you actually finish the game you realize you invested a lot to get pretty much nothing. I enjoy games that don't have a (rich) story, but here it feels underwhelming.

At the time of writing this review I didn't complete the secret achievement, but I read it involves a frustrating challenge. The completionist in me wants to try and unlock it, but I'm afraid it'll be another unsatisfying time-waster. Will edit if anything changes.

Bottom line: Get the game if there's a major discount and you feel like grinding the gears of your brain (and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad)

Looks like a different version of Stardew Valley with different graphics and maybe some other mechanics, I don't know, my game crashed 2 minutes in and resulted in my computer needing a hard reset and a decent amount of minutes to recover from the crash. I read about other user experiences online and it's a recurring issue that did not receive attention from the devs. FeelsBadMan, I really wanted to play it.
