Did I love this game? Absolutely. Did it give me more grief than enjoyment? 100%. The final nail for me was when, at the end of a fully productive day, I attempted to sleep and finish the day, only for the 'E' key to suddenly stop working. Okay, inconvenient, but I'll let the clock drain and have my avatar pass out. Nope! Clock stopped at 23:30, nothing else worked, so I had to close the app and lose the day's progress. Might not have been too bad if I wasn't constantly losing days of gameplay due to the game crashing or bugging out beyond salvaging. You honestly get to a point where bug workarounds are part of the gameplay. This needs so much work to be stable, and it's nowhere near there. It's not fun; I'm wasting IRL time on this, and it is bringing more frustration than joy. Hold off, don't buy it, and with some luck, the devs will actually make this a game that can be reliably played.13 found this helpful

Fun and has lots of potential. I look forward to what they do next to make it even more fun.1 found this helpful
I'm SO excited that this game is back!! It is very immersive and fun! I love my farm, and the wide variety of crops and animals. I haven't experienced any bugs in my 80+ hours of playing. If you like farming games and try this you won't be sorry
It's a bit janky, it's quirky, sometimes you're character flies off their bicycle and ragdolls at awkward moments, but dammit, I f*ing love this game. The farming experience it fun and realistic, the difficulties the MC goes through are motivating, the atmosphere of the town and natural area is hypnotizing, the money making system is super fun, and the festivals are amazing. I cannot get enough of that claw machine game. I love love love the vendor menu system, and the crafting. Sure there are a LOT of mechanics that need to be totally revamped, but I am super stoked about the re-boot. It's gonna be amazing.
This game is far from being perfect, but honestly? I love it. Pros -This game is genuinely fun. While most of the activities you can do in SunnySide will be familiar to people who like to play farming games--certainly farming, ranching (caring for livestock), fishing, cooking, and mining/combat are nothing new--some of the systems used in these activities are done differently. No longer are you using a watering can--now you have a hose (thank god), and once you unlock further skills, you can set up an automatic irrigation system to water your crops. Cooking is more complex than just having the items in your inventory, as you need to consult the cookbook app on your phone to figure out what tools and appliances you need to cook the recipe, and as you unlock more complex recipes, there are multiple different components to the recipe you need to cook before you can put everything together. The food crafting system allows you to make various tea leaves and seeds, fermented products (wine, etc.), cheeses, roasted nuts, oils, and can and package foods. For combat, you buy different ofuda at the shrine, which are consumable "cards" that will have some sort of attack or effect on the enem…
