This game was fantastic. Like a lot of others I was heasitant on it after what the Avengers game had been. But this blew me away. It felt like I'd slipped into the comics and really was fighting along side the Guardians. The tone was perfect, the story enjoyable, and I didn't really encounter any bugs. The game is absolutely a must play for anyone who enjoys comics or even something like Mass Effect with sarcastic humor.

After watching several youtube review, lets plays, and my brother in-law sink a large chunk of time into this game I decided I needed to play it. I had just binged 3 Zelda games (OOT, Windwaker HD, Majoras Mask) and wanted a change of pace.

This game nailed it. It gives you the option to do just about everything in the game right at the beginning. It gives you the choice to do what you want, you've left the city for the country and it's your farm life, live it how you want!

The gameplay is easy to pick up and intuitive, yet with things to figure out that aren't obvious. Those little discoveries and aha moments are fantastic and rewarding. The farming is easy to pick up yet highly in-depth. Sure you can just plant crops and sell them, but you can also balance the use of speed gro or Fertilizer. You can sell the crops you get or you can process them into jellies and wines to get more money, but at the cost of more time. The game doesn't force you into one or the other.

You are also able to choose the farming path you want, do you want to focus more of crops or more on livestock? Livestock are like the people and require attention for their affection to grow, and the more the animal likes you the better it's products.

Speaking of relationships the ones with the people in town are surprisingly in-depth and well rounded. You do get the feeling that you've been dropped into this pre-existing town and have to learn how to fit in and be a good neighbor, Or be a hermit farmer, it's up to you!

The crafting system is also fantastic with many items that you can unlock that will make you a large amount of money on your farm or make farming easier like sprinklers, forges, or mayonnaise machines.

I'd have to say what I like most about the game is the lack of structure, stress, or important objectives. This game is a great way to just relax after work. And when we think about it isn't gaming a leisure activity? Not to decry games with intensity and stress as those are certainly enjoyable, but this is a fantastic game to get off of work, grab a beer, and relax.
