I have issues playing most things on my potato PC and this game does not work well for it's minimum specs, and I don't know how it's allowed. RAM leak or something going on, for absolutely no good reason this game is RAM intensive BUT I still liked the gameplay. SO i picked it up on Switch and drained 55 hours or so of my life into it. It's fun. It's a fun game in the same area of exactly what you think it is. A Harvest-like game like Stardew Valley. A nonlinear RPG that still manages to find linearity in how you progress, but it's still fun. HOWEVER! Even on the Switch the game is so intensive for no good reason that it has weird lag spikes, crashes after medium long to long sessions of play, and the more time on the file and the more you have going on means shorter sessions, and potentially losing progress. The game only saves when you sleep in bed, so you COULD lose progress over a few days in game if you're not sleeping and it crashes. So, be warned there. Besides frequently crashing, the 'end' was mostly ♥♥♥♥. I'll save for spoilers but spending all that time to get to the end, felt bad. There are a lot of clunky things about "leveling" which is done in the style of a tech tree, but they work well and smart planning is rewarded as you chain unlock some of the things you can do. I managed to skip a HUGE section of upgrades for graveyard quality and went from the second type that decore you unlock, to the highest quality of that, because I planned it out. Some of the story elements were neat but mostly just hamfisted MMO-style fetch quests, BUT most of the ways to complete those missions are open or have multiple ways to meet that goal, which was great to weight options on. But even with all the good things I see in this game, it all just falls apart for the previously mentioned reasons.

Maybe if it was a finished game I could recommend it, but I won't because the game is absolutely not a finished product, so why even buy DLC when it doesn't work as intended the first time around?
