i'm staying for the lesbians in the game

it's only fun if you found a great crew to enrich your experience in-game—which i did, so it's been a blast so far!

I need to get this out first: all the characters in the game are beautifully written! I love their sarcasm, jokes, and personalities. Moreover, it's just the perfect game for you who's looking for a stress-free game, yet also an engaging one! And as of its visuals, it's crazy good, and you'll know what I mean if you just go and try to glide with your character; it's magical. It will only get better and better at the peak of your hike. Oh, such a view! I legit teared up when I finished the game :")

Totally worth every penny, go check it out and you'll see!

A very casual and chill puzzle game, with charming and endearing characters to boot!

I love being an attractive vampire lady that has a vermin nest IN her castle--oh it's so nasty, I love it--and getting burned to death by the sun every now and then. Fun thing that I realized is that I used to play it safe in any other survival games that I've tried so far, yet in V Rising I tend to be more aggressive, because the combat is fun and feels so rewarding!

If you enjoy petting and befriending lots of various animals, tending to your plants, doing quests and striving to complete in-game achievements, also having a great control over the growth and customization of your town and its occupants; then yeah, go ahead and try the game, I bet you'll enjoy it

It's difficult to not blink when whatI wanna do was bawl my eyes out.

The game hit me deeply, I just know that I'll cherish the experience that I had with this game for however long my memories would let me. I'd like to re-experience it all over again if I could, honestly. So if you ever saw this review of mine, do me a favor and give the game a try. I'd like more people out there to experience what it has to offer to us <3

My initial impression of the game--that made me trying it out in the first place--was that it looks cute and seems inspired by Animal Crossing; yet not even few hours in, I was pleasantly surprised that Dinkum is so much more than that! We get to do things that we usually do in farming sim game, but I love that we are free to do things that we prefer to do in order to progress; 30 hours into the game and I haven't even started my farm yet as I've been so hyperfixated on designing my town, hunting down certain fishes that would give me most profit at that particular season, and be hunted by some wild crocodiles--and other hostile animals--that caught me by surprise.

It's such a charming game and I know for sure that I'll be charmed for a long while, especially as it's also such relaxing game that encourage me to take things on my own pace. It's crazy to think that the game is still on early access yet has such depth of things that we could do!

Beautifully written characters with witty humor and compelling narrative, what else do you need?

Personally, the game speak to me; I relate with the protagonist and her personalities. If you love coming-age stories, this one is a must play; heck, I've passed the phase myself, yet I still falling hard for this one.

I haven't finished the game yet, so I can't say much about the story-aspect of the game. But it is such a charming game and a beautiful one at that! Every frame is an art by itself, you could simply stop anytime, take a screenshot, and be amazed with the architecture of the game!

I personally think you should try to finish the game in one sitting though, especially if you tend to be easily distracted like me, because now despite knowing firsthand just how beautiful and charming the game is, I still find a difficult time on getting back on it.

The storytelling is just *chef's kiss perfect

I'm still somewhat new to the genre and mostly play casual & narrative heavy games; so I was surprised with the overwhelming enjoyment that I got from the game, even in only few hours in! I honestly thought it would take longer time and lots of adjustment from me to fully enjoy the game, but no, I end up so hyperfixated on the game that I finished it and completed every achievement within a month.

Of course, despite my glowing review, I had noticed some flaws that's quite unfortunate and sometimes saddening, like how I missed some quests because I progressed way too fast, and only found out later on when the NPC already gone and whatnot. But still, I loved and enjoyed every seconds of my playthrough, there's no denying that.

Even now as I'm writing this review, I still think that I should come back for more, and explore things that I haven't before and try out new builds. But as of now, I keep coming back to the game just to take some comfort, in the world that I've come to love. I kid you not, often I'd open the game and just walk around enjoying the scenery, while beating up few enemies along the way; it's so relaxing.

Final verdict? 10/10, would play again just to get beaten up over and over again by Malenia <3
