It's a very nice, casual shop management game.
Right now, it seems the numbers aren't very well balanced. For example, I feel like I'm always reaching the stock limit. I've bought about 60% of the available land and still can't fit a lot into the store, so I ended up stacking all the stock shelves in a corner. It looks bad but works.
I'd love to have a lot more space. I feel the price increase for buying land doesn’t correspond to the amount of money I make from selling items—it just doesn’t match. Now, I’ve only played for 12 hours, so I’m sure there’s a lot more to learn, but I’m also playing on easy mode.
What I do find really awesome is the NPC behavior. If you close the store early, they don’t just drop the items they were going to buy, and the items don’t just vanish—they pay and then leave. Also, if a shelf has been restocked, they’ll stop on their way to ask for an item and go back to get it. They don’t have to walk the entire way, which is a common issue in a lot of games where NPCs have to finish whatever they were doing before starting a new command.
I enjoy the simplicity of planting—no need to carry buckets or constantly refill water, which is perfect. I haven’t tried any of the other features yet, since I just don’t have the space.
It would be nice if there were a way to tell which items have been stocked on shelves—it gets hard to remember. Right now, I favorite the items I’ve stocked to keep track.
I do enjoy the game a lot, and from what I’ve seen, the devs are working passionately on making it better, so it’s definitely worth it.

Right now I'd love more land, maybe a 2nd floor?

Thanks for a fun game.

A labor of love, it's well-written, has an amazing amount of content, and looks amazing. The forest areas are a blast to travel through. I'm only at the 10-hour mark, so there is still so much more to do; I can't wait.

Voice acting is awesome; the different languages of which I can understand are pronounced perfectly, it feels alive.

I'd really love the ability to mark parts of the map and leave notes, so I can come back to locations and know what I'll find there.

Maybe I'll add more later, once I've played more. Right now, this game is a SOLID 9/10.

Thank you so much for making an awesome game.

The combat quickly becomes repetitive and lacks depth, while movement feels clunky, making exploration and puzzles frustrating rather than enjoyable. The graphics are disappointing for a 2024 release, falling behind modern standards in both visual fidelity and world-building. Enemies often get stuck or stop moving altogether, breaking immersion and making encounters feel lifeless. There’s clear potential, but the execution leaves much to be desired.

Yeah, I don't know; it has elements where I can see what this game could have been. There is a lot of vision, it's just left in the mud. From how NPCs behave in battle to simple interactions, there is something very plain about it. This used to be cute and fun in FO3 and FO4, but it's lost its appeal. At least to me.

It seems they spread the content across too many loading screens. Getting a quest that's on another planet doesn't feel like I'm going to explore a new world but endure an onslaught of loading. The enemies don't feel threatening at all—just a buggy mess you kite around and kill.

For a game that took as long as it did, this is a disaster. You can't see your body in first person, which is something I find small but tells you so much about this game.

If you have patience and can bear the vast lack of quality of life, this can be a fun game. I see why people enjoy it. But with many other titles challenging the AAA games we know, this won't cut it for long. More people will stop wasting their time on these titles—or, more importantly, their money.

Wonderful game. Thank you GGG for giving us such Artwork.

POE became my most played game over the years, there were plenty of times I wanted to drop it, since the curve years ago was rather different and difficult. But with each update and time spend in game it only became more addictive.

POE 2 opens the flood gates for a much larger audience, it's become more approachable.

Giving this game time and being patient with it, is a constant flow of rewards since you feel the progression come to life as you play and adapt to a style tailored to your taste.

The sounds of skills and environments are extremely well done.

It's a fun game, still a lot that can be improved upon but for a f2p game with currently no p2w at all, it's worth it.
I'm just not looking forward to the wipes every 60 days, even with Eternaland.
We'll have to see how it goes.

Beautiful game, gonna enjoy this one a lot. Had been waiting a long time, worth every minute. Combat is amazing already; might update this review later but from what I can see, this is another well-ported game. Great story, good combat, amazing world design, good voice acting, and animations, and I've only just dipped the tip of my toe.

Now to all the PSN issues, they are trying to get more people on PSN and the way they are doing it sucks, sure. Doesn't suck enough for me to hate on this game (Single player works just fine without making a PSN account). As for countries that can't play it, now this is only my assumption but if Sony could sell this game to the blood cult, they probably would. So I'm assuming the reason they aren't able to sell in many countries is due to laws there. I can't imagine in the slightest that Sony would simply decide not to make money.

Absolute gem. The world is vast, lots of lore and great story telling. Combat took me a bit to get used to
but now it flows really well. Voice acting top notch and of course the animations are perfect, also love the
ambiance of the game.

Yeah not much else to be said, give it a try. I doubt there is anyone that'd be disappointed by this game
if games like these are something you enjoy (Semi-open world RPG).

Sheesh, What a wonderful game. The animations are amazing, from how the characters move in cut scenes to facial expressions that are god tier with incredible voice acting in normal conversations. A world that's filled with life, you'll actually want to have a look around just to see what people are up to.

It's been a while since I've actually wanted to do side quests and ask the NPC's questions regarding matters
that are often times unrelated, just taking it all in. Saying that, side quests are well made and fleshed out. You feel the impact of their existence, even if just a little.

There is good customization with a lot of QOL improvements from the last game, they really outdid themselves with this one.

Thanks for a great game.

EDIT: One thing to note, you might want to turn off achievement notifications, as this game
has a lot. They can be a little spoiler-ish. The pop ups also happen when you accomplish part
of an achievement, so they really pop up a lot. You do this in Steam - Settings - Notifications.

EDIT: They've gone above and beyond in the time I was away, deserves a Thumps Up now.

Thank you for an awesome game.


The game is good and I'll be sure to rewrite my review once updates have been made.
But right now there are too many bugs, of which a lot are very inconvenient.
The worst so far is part of the base being deleted, it doesn't sound bad but it also deleted
items received from quests. Now I can build them again but need mats I've never seen before.

The mats required are in areas I can't yet get to and to get to them I need the tools that have been deleted.
Only 17hs or so in so I could start again... but yeah I'd rather not. Would be a shame if it happens again.

So I'll wait. But it's well worth it, the game besides the bugs is great, lots of fun. Can recommend, once
the major bugs are fixed.
