This game is great, I really do recommend it; HOWEVER, there are a few issues that irked me while playing and I want to tell you the absolute worst parts. If you can deal with the following issues I experienced then you'll enjoy the game for what it is: A brilliantly written, casual friendly gaming experience, and I mean it when I say brilliantly written. The dialogue is fun and witty while endearing you to the characters and town. You really feel and see your impact on Sandrock, and the citizens rightly respect and appreciate you for it.

Now for the 'eh' parts:

The game lacks a sense of polish, it is far more polished than My Time at Portia (and the characters look a LOT better) but it is still lacking in a few areas
1. Characters that aren't supposed to be in town are inexplicably there. Grace was chilling outside the Blue Moon as usual while sending me letters about not knowing when, if at all she'll return and Jane was walking around town before her arriving on the train cut scene and While Dr Qi was supposed to be exploring the Starship Ruins, he was at his lab and walking around per usual
2. For seemingly no reason but perhaps an extended play session NPC's with start phasing out and just teleporting around instead of walking. This is immersion breaking if you care about that, but it's also just plain annoying when someone vanishes into thin air when you want to talk to them or turn in a quest.
3. People nowhere near your yard or museum will appreciate the relics randomly. It's not a huge deal, but it is strange. Also they never visit the museum to view the relics, they will only appreciate relics you have on display in your yard, though this may be intentional.
4. A recent update seems to have broken Mort's photo collection "quest" (it isn't in your quest log after the initial quest to begin finding photos, which works fine) some people as well as myself could not find any of the photos well into year 2 and 3. This is unfortunate for lore purposes but it is also tied to an achievement so doubly unfortunate
5. The anitsocial NPC's (ones that you don't have a relationship meter with) tend to look exactly the same or very very similar Except the ones that come to Sandrock at the very end of the story. In their case I wish you could befriend these new people but I understand that would be a huge undertaking on the part of the Devs, so no worries In one strange case Catori's son does have relationship meter but you can't interact with him the way you can with everyone else
6. When completing quest that give friendship with everyone it is possibly to become Buddies with people you haven't met yet and the notification shows you their faces so it could be a spoiler.
7. Only some characters "confess" to you and I wish every marriage candidate would or had something similar. It makes the other marriage candidates seem less developed. I accidentally locked myself out of Venti's because I said maybe later to sneaking into the salvage yard. Very unfortunate, and I wish it told me or had her ask again periodically so you don't lock yourself out of anything.

Well, that's it. If you can deal with all of the above AND generally enjoy the farming/ city builder/ life sim genre. I'm pretty sure you'll LOVE this game. I certainly did.

wholesome, charming, and fulfilling! there is lots to do in a large environment that changes over time and plenty of fun people to befriend and romance :)

bro singleplayer and multiplayer game is a totally different game. multiplayer is so gimped u cant even make multiple save profiles on the same server region and no story like the singleplayer. refunded the game real quick
