Where to start with this one... I remember loving the first trailer and I could not wait for it to release, especially after the delay. As many other people who love the farming/life-sim genre, it rarely finds new ways of reinventing itself. Fae Farm tries it but ultimately failed for me.
The positives:
+ beautiful world to explore
+ some great QOL feautures that make farming fun
+ use of magic in combat and farming
+ moving around with the wings is very satisfying
+ cute animal designs
+ a lot of collectibles
+ you can decorate multiple houses and outside
+ great customization options, buy or craft yourself
+ cooking and making potions
+ good OST
The negatives:
- pretty bland narrative
- the NPCs are extremely boring
- romantic relationships feel like an add-on without any real thought behind them
- making money is a slow process because of the restricting way you have to sell things
- animals are only needed for crafting resources, forget making money with milk, eggs, etc. even after making them into butter or other things
- combat is very limited. It is not hard, bur very annoying.
- the mines are repetitive and feel like a chore without much excitement
- there really isn't a lot to motivate you after finishing the main story
- "multiplayer" is not fun at all
- still too many bugs for such an expensive game, I even ran into a gamebreaking bug after first starting the game and had to wait a week for it to be patched.
Overall this game is for you if you had a bit of a break from farming games and want to try a new one. Also, if the artstyle and overall gameplay features speak to you, go for it. Oh yeah, wait for a sale. Even the 40 bucks for the PC version are too much.
They said there will be some sort of DLC next year, maybe I will pick it up again then, but for now... bye bye Azoria!
