One thing about Stardew that is overlooked is the abolity to play local co-op! Me and my partner play together and we love it. Almost none of the newer farming sims have that.
Sun Haven have co op as well, but not local afair.
this!!! my bf & i are seriously nostalgic about couch co-op & are constantly on the hunt for games that can be played for a long time together - Love Stardew Valley :)
Think it’s quite hard to code! Even stardew co-op took years
Although Farm Together is about 5 years old it's still great for playing together on steam :)
I tried to do co-op with my son but couldn't get it to work :(
Idc what anyone says, stardew valley is everything. Huge example for other developers too. It’s a game that keeps on giving and concernedape deserves all our respect. ❤it’s one of the oldest and I agree it’s S tier.
Oldest?
It’s definitely not the oldest with harvest moon predating it by 20 years. Along with the other farming games that followed harvest moon in that era. Though I do love stardew valley the most, it took qualities from those games and really honed them.
@@princessmoondoll3764 Yeah for sure. I used to play Back To Nature a lot, one of my favourites. Then you have the original on the SNES.
I play many farming Sims and statdew valley completely lost me barely understood what to do the story made me feel like I was on drugs and I stopped. I literally hated it.
"one of" the oldest. SDV is clearly what has driven growth in the genre.@@princessmoondoll3764
I seriously cannot wait for Coral Island on the Switch 😭 I remember seeing it ages ago in ads before it had early access release and lately I've been watching people stream it, and it's SO cute. I have multiple disabilities that make PC gaming difficult so hopefully early next year it'll be more widely available!
as soon as i heard about mermaids, i was sold! Also prefer playing on switch
@@zoemills242 the merpeople are adorable! I just love the idea that you are trying to help the environment while also doing regular farm sim stuff 🥰 Such a nice idea to put in a game.
I own several of these games on PC but I prefer Switch. If I really like a game on PC, I'll often stop playing it so I don't feel like it's ruined on Switch. I'm also patiently waiting for Coral Island on Switch.
Hello all , I just can’t wait for this game to come to Switch….hoping, wishing 🙏 😊😊😊
as a backer, i have been loving it. I hope its everything you want it to be.
2 days into playing Wylde Flowers my Mamaw unexpectedly passed away. The way this game was so healing in such a hard season for me, makes it my favorite comfort game I’ve ever played.💖
I played Harvest Moon DS in excess as a kid and there are two features I wish carried over in more oftoday's farming sims:
1. Farmer competitions like best chicken/cow or horse racing, or even the cooking festival. Just another motivator to make your farm better
2. Black heart events just add so much personality to the bachelors/bachellorettes. If you were romancing one of them it feels like a competition, and if you're not then it's fun to see other relationships form aside from your own
Also a third thing that was in one of the GameCube HM's, can we please bring back rival farmers? I only remember it in one game and it was so fun
I was very skeptic all of wylde flowers, but ended up grabbing it and my goodness it’s probably my favourite farming sim right now, and I don’t even think the visuals are bad! It’s so immersive I can’t stop playing
Wylde Flowers is so so good, I wish it was getting more hype
Bring back voice acting to more games please ❤️
I was skeptical as well until I realized it was on Apple Arcade. I figured it was worth a try and let me tell you, I've binged this dang game for 2ish weeks and wish there was even more to do! I'm going to pick it up on Steam so I can accurately track my achievements and do a new play through.
I feel it's so underrated. It's one of the best and I would gladly pay for additional content.
@@melissajay7596 me too ! I’d love to be able to decorate the house, or transform into other animals than cats
Ehhh. The lack of customization, the not so amazing romance options, characters feel shallow, oversimplified mechanics, it just feels like it should be fleshed out more. And her giving it an S tier JUST for voice acting?? Girly...then this isn't a genuine review. It's not even a true farming sim so her review is very misinformative. Also the fact that she put Sun Haven, Roots of Pacha below Wylde Flowers made me actually laugh out loud. This will be a dislike from me 💀what a disappointment
If you like Harvestella I would HIGHLY recommend rune factory! It’s the best combination of story, farming, characters, action and everything in between! I would start with 4 or 5. 4 seems to be the consensus for a top tier game but personally prefer the open world exploration and handsome romance options that 5 offers :)
Nice rune factory 4 is on gamepass so i can try that one
@@ziljin I hope you enjoy!! It’s one of my favorites :)
@@alexhughes8211 with steam and pc game pass so many games to play. I already have stardew valley, my time at portia and staxel. Tried story of seasons friends of mineral town yesterday. Will try rune factory 4 today. Theres also coral island and disney dreamland to try. Now i jist need time to play them all!
I'm shocked there weren't any Rune Factory games on the list. If you haven't played them you should give them a try, especially since you like Harvestella.
3 and 4 are the best ones in the series
right?? i wouldve expected it on here, hopefully she tries it eventually too haha it wasn't for me but it's still notable imo
Rune Factory is better than pretty much all these games on the list, becasue of the insane depth and width. on a surface level it looks very easy but its really an extremely technical game .It just has absolute massive amounts of content, like you can easily reach way beyond 100 hours on 4 and 5 . Like Stardew valley is a thing solely becasue Rune Factory wasent on PC at the time.
RF4 is my fav (:
I am so grateful to you for introducing me to Wylde Flowers! I was, admittedly, skeptical when I saw the character design, but holy wow everything about the game makes up for it! And now I find the art style charming! I only just started summer and am so happy that there's so much more that will happen plot-wise. It handled the subject of caring for an aging relative very well and I definitely had some teary moments. I'm absolutely in love with this game and will probably sink MANY more hours into it in the coming weeks!
I want to play this game so much but reading your comment about caring for an aging relative makes me hesitant as Im still very much dealing with grief over the loss of my Nana. I wonder if this would make the game too difficult for me or if its something that could be a positive.
It really is and I love that it didn’t feel childish felt like more for an adult type of game. Like Shane was a drunk who was addicted to alcohol. The game is soooo amazing best of all time
i played it on apple arcade and finished it in like 2 weeks lol
Wylde Flowers is S Tier for me, and I don't have that personal connection. Just a fantastic game, to me.
Cannot wait for coral islands full release! I’ve stopped playing purely because I love it so much and want to experience it in full. Truly the first game since acnh I’ve been so obsessed with!
Not sure if it would be your cup of tea, but I'm very fond of Graveyard Keeper, it feels very much like Stardew's more morbid cousin. It's hilarious and weird, and the DLC lets you get zombie minions to work for you. It does have a sad tendency to occasionally crash on the Switch though, which is kinda annoying, especially since the start-up load takes some time. But I have a lot of fun with it, and who doesn't love a talking skull for a companion, lol.
I came here to reiterate this comment! It’s super fun, and while the energy bar is a little annoying in the early game, I think it’s such a great game. I easily have 200 hours between switch and pc.
I love this game! I did find myself looking up how to do things quite a bit, though
Stardew Valley may not have been the first farming sim, but it certainly revitalized the genre. Stardew brought it more to the mainstream, and setting a new modern standard lead us to being spoiled with so many diverse options now. It belongs in S-tier.
As a long term fan of SoS I love your ranking of each of the switch versions BUT SoS AWL is S tier for me because of having played the original.. i just never thought id see my beloved game i played as a child come back for me to play as an adult!! I also do hope the SoS devs keep their new OG games well developed because i also agree they will end up left in the dust because of these other incredible farm sims!
Im so excited to be able to play Coral Island!!
Im also annoyed that DDV isnt free to play when they said it would be in 2023 😐
Aaaahhh and I LOVED Harvestella and I hate combat in my "cozy" games.. definitely one of my top five story heavy games ever
I have to agree with Wylde flowers, I loved it, and I think the voice acting was the number one thing that I enjoy the most. Wish more farm sim games were like this style 😢
Coral Island will absolutely be an S tier the moment it leaves Early Access imo. The graphics and character designs are wonderful and the island really feels alive as you said.
My thoughts exactly!
Is it S tier now?
Once the game is finished I think it will be s tier. They released 1.0 and it’s still completely unfinished, my game froze yesterday and I had to restart luckily it was at the beginning of the day. They have a ton to work on still, it’s disappointing they released and unfinished game.
You forgot (maybe?) to rate Dave the Diver, who is currently my S tier game ;w; Though i will look into wylde flowers now too, since it actually looks pretty nice but i can really recommend dave if someone likes to farm fish with their spear underwater and make delish sushi at the evening in a restaurant
Dave the Diver isn't really a farming sim. More like a roguelike with management sim.
Great game though
I am playing through Wilde Flowers and am enjoying it. There is a setting that allows time to pass slower so I'm not so stressed. Good to know that bots are coming to do stuff for me. I've also played both of the Story of Seasons, and I agree that the Mineral town game is better.
One thing on Coral Island, they are constantly making updates and it just getting better. I think they are holding the dating until the 1.0 patch. The merfolk release has come out, but no dating them yet
I remember dating a mermaid in harvest moon DS, I miss this game so much I hope we will get a remake one day (one can always dream)
I love your eyeshadow and your shirt! 😊
thank you :D
Coral island is definitely coming to switch soon especially since it’s now verified on steamdeck the controls are already done which is exciting!
Honestly, Wylde Flowers completely blew me away. I picked it up on sale, thinking I probably won't like it that much anyway at first glance but oh boy was I wrong. The voice acting is impeccable and I honestly believe that actually playing as someone else for once is a huge plus and makes it so much more interesting. I picked it up barely a week ago and have played it every single day since. Becoming besties with Shelby is very high on my list atm safe to say! :D
Lol who are you tryna marry?
@@Strawberrystormi Ugh, tough one! Atm I'm a bit undecisive between Westley and Giva. If I could have Shelby as my roomie I totally would do that instead though haha!
@@missanthropy. the clear choice is violet but sadly can’t pick her
@@Strawberrystormi I don't know, she doesn't do it for me at all, but the world would be boring as hell if everyone was into the same type of people :p
Being a big Square Enix games fan, Harvestella was like a dream come true, to have my favorite universe mixed with a genre that definitely needs more attention as a whole. The biggest bad point of that game is that it doesn't offer you that much in term of contents compared to most farm sim game, you better approach it as an actual small jrpg that has sim farm in it. It's also a bit sad that they didn't put more funds into it for a bit more of voice acting cause the little you hear of it sounds really good.
Aside from that, it's imho the best rpg farm sim game avaible as it really tried to actually developed the action-rpg side and not just add weapons and levels to simulate it. I won't even talk about the character design and artwork, they're just gorgeous.
Inspiration wise, I couldn't help having fun trying to guess some sources, like one "stage" looks directly inspired from NieR Automata (if you played if, you should know which stage I'm talking about), or one of the cutscene that was directly "copied" from Chrono Trigger.
Which ends up back to the bad point I mentionned, it's just too short. Especially for a game priced as such, you'd just want more out of it, but sadly it feels like the game's already archived for Square Enyx and we won't get anything more out of it ; (
Sun Haven was the other big surprise for me, as it's basically stardew valley meets rune factory. One would think they would try too much to approach both worlds and ending up offering not much, but for a game that just got fully released recently, it's already quite complete and full of stuff to do. And it's not even the "complete game" as they already talked about releasing more major updates (post game stuff, like post marriage epilogue with the romanceables for instances).
I'm a bit surprise you didn't mention any Rune Factory game, maybe you're just not into them at all, 'tho if you're ever interested in them, I heavily advice you to not bother with the latest entry, Rune Factory 5, as it was the biggest letdown any fan of the serie has experecienced, and as a farm sim game, it's pretty bare. They just release RF3 Special (basically a hd port of the old ds game) but one that is considered the best overall is RF4, as it allows playing as male or female, has an actual story, has simply more to do on the variety scale and is also enjoying more Quality of Life features that older entries didn't get. If I had to say one of its good point compared to a lot of other similar game is the amount of variety dialogues you get from every "portraied" npcs in the town.
I'm a big SquareEnix fan too, so Harvestella sounds like it's a good fit for me. Have you tried Dragon Quest Builders 2? It's an old one, but it's also from SE, and it has a pretty big farming/animal collecting element, which is why I'm surprised it hardly ever gets included in rpg/farming tier lists.
I’m in the middle of Harvestella and I’m SO glad I stuck with it. I love farming sims but get bored easily so I really lovelovelove the combat and the characters and the skill trees. I really love it. I was a little turned off at first but after a little while I was so addicted to it I almost lost my job lol. The art is beautiful and story is sooooo good engrossing and a little out-there but it’s just so so so fulfilling and satisfying to get through. I really loved the fact that you need to grow food to make your food to fuel your adventures and you cook for buffs and debuffs. I adore it. The side quest of the engaged couple with the guy who lost his memory just gutted me.
It’s got it’s downsides but I love it so much and I pray it gets a series. It could easily be given a little more love and perfected a bit but the game is wonderful. I understand it’s not everyone cup of tea but I really love the combat. I’m so happy I played Octopath Traveler 2 before it so I well understood Breaks and weaknesses etc.
Also I highly suggest Atleier Ryza series. The first one is a little rough but as long as you play it enough to get the idea down, the late game is amazing and the next 2 games are SOO GOOD!
Really looking forward to FAEFARM and Silent Hope.
The other thing I love about Wylde flowers is that you can slow the time right down, so therr is no stress. Thank you for introducing this game to me!! I love it 😀
The frantic pace of Stardew made me stop playing, so this is a feature about WF that I love as well
There's also a good amount of bi panic material for romancing lol
Thank you! I got and played through Wylde Flowers. I loved the animation, it was one of the reasons I got it after you recommended it! I recently rage quit (a permanent quit) Everdream valley over the wolf dreams. It wasn't the stress of the mini game, it was that it would take an entire in game day to repair the damage. I couldn't always skip it and got too frustrated to continue playing. I love your videos! Thanks so much for introducing new games!
wait- you can change the length of time a day is in coral island??? i had no idea???? i always feel like i never have enough time in this game lol
Wylde Flowers is AMAZING! I have alot of work to do. I thought the robots were a great touch and I feel much relieved that I'm able let them water the plants or feed the animals while I take care of other tasks. Plus the magic comes handy and can directly and positively impact your farming which is also helpful. The voice acting is without a question... amazing.
Great ranking and I learned a lot about each game :) Love playing Wylde Flowers so much that I'm having a difficult time moving on to a new farming sim, the creative updates to WF have me pretty much locked in atm. Really hoping Coral Island will be the next farming sim that pulls me completely into its story. The lore and use of the ocean is a draw especially, and I prefer the clearer graphic style.
i appreciate this well-analysed list so much. i just began dreamlight valley and was curious what others thought about it. it's nice to consider the elements that go into a *good-quality* farm sim.
i've always wanted to try A Wonderful Life, and i love how wylde flowers sounds despite lack of customisation.
This is a fantastic list! There are definitely some titles that I will now check out thanks to your recommendation. One of my all time favorite farming sims didn't make it to your list, but I absolutely recommend My Time at Portia if you haven't tried it yet.
I've already put 24+ hours into Coral Island and it's not even finished. I have high hopes for that game.
SDV is what got me into farming sims (and I have tried a life sims in the past *Looks at Sims and Viva Pinata*). I've been playing it off and on since the year it came out. Also it's the game that got me into checking out indie games on Steam.
Sun Haven is like #1 on my list of games to get right now, at least for Steam. I might get a totally different game for Switch next just because I want to watch reactions to this game, but I don't want to get spoiled until I play it since it's a mystery thriller. But yeah huge Fantasy fan, so I hope I do enjoy Sun Haven.
LOVE Coral Island. I would definitely rank it A tier at least. What is also nice is the game in subtle ways helps you learn what the villagers like too. I also love how there's still a bit a mystery. Like how does the logistics of dating a Merkfolk work lol? FYI, there's 3 dateables- 2 female and 1 male. But yes, 1.1 should be out by this Fall I think? The game devs have really been moving along quickly lol. They even updated their roadmap as a result.
I also plan on getting Roots of Patcha at some point, but there are other games I want more, like Story of Seasons: It's a Wonderful Life. I also will probably get Wylde Flowers too. Too many games on this list I swear lol.
Rune factory is also good, especially if you like the rpg leaning farm sims. 4 is my fave so far.
Rune Factory 4: Special is incredible! Its my fav too
It’s great to hear good things about harvestella. I put it as an A personally because I kind of disagree with the fact that there seems to be purpose to farming. I personally didn’t really find a purpose other than to make money, which is prob true for most farming games anyway, but there was a lack of things to do with that money aside from farm and weapon upgrades. There’s no customization for your house or even a point to using the food you farm to cook since you can just use forageables. Tho at one point I did fill my farm with tomatoes to turn into juice lol but the lack of variety then is not too fun either. Generally for farming games I wish there was more point to farming and earning money in the long run.
Let’s be honest, Dreamlight valley AT BEST is a C. The bugs in that game is INSANE for how long it’s been out and it’s not even an Indy company either z
Do you mean Switch bugs? The PC version had a lot but that was in the beta. They addressed all of them and it runs awesome for me now. But some things need changing. Like how hard it is to get night shards…such a PITA! And so many quests require them for making purified night shards.
It still in beta and runs just fine on my switch. It had issues the first couple months. But runs smooth now. Night shards are more plentiful the dream. Best to make a chest and stash them.
I really highly suggest playing Graveyard Keeper, it doesn't seem like a farming sim on the surface, but it's honestly the most involved and intricate farming/casual life simulator game I've played
Off topic- your eye shadow is gorgeous!!
ahh thank you!! :D
@@Eeowna you look radiant today!! On topic- I stopped playing Dreamlight valley a while ago. Not really sure why. Probably a combo of it constantly crashing and it seemed disjointed and cluttered (characters). I need to look at some of these other games. I’ve been in Zelda land and ignoring everything else.
Even though I game exclusively on PC, this video was extremely helpful. I've only played one of the games on this list(Wylde Flowers which I absolutely loved!), but there were several also available on PC that looked very interesting. I subscribed!
It's a shame some people consider playing as a character instead of themselves as a bad thing. I found playing an established character like Tara in Wylde Flowers was one of the best parts. She has personality and backstory, I was getting to know her along with the other villagers. I'll never quite understand this desperate need to play as one's self. I personally loved playing Tara's story.
I never play as myself. Someone once blocked me on Twitter because I change I change my skin in ACNH
I prefer to play as myself because it feels like I'm living in the game. Good way to escape reality lol. BUT not in a drastic way either. If I have to play an established character ESPECIALLY one like Tara, it's fine too. Tara was interesting and the game itself is great, the storyline, the voice acting etc. all of it made sense AS Tara.
I think that I developed a habit of preferring to play games as “myself” back when main characters were primarily white and male. I actually got into Sims when I saw that you could create your own character. I figured if there weren’t characters I could relate to in regular games I could make my own story. I think that feeling has sort of stuck with me. I’ll play and like other games too but the ones with character customization will always be top of the list for me.
I don't think it's a "bad" thing to play as a pre-made character, I just can't get into it.
Ever since the earliest days of CRPGs, like Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord when your "character" was just a pile of numbers with an optional name.
I prefer playing myself too and simply put playing myself feels like when you are reading a book and get really immersed into the story and absorbed. Playing an established character feels to me like when someone is telling you the story of said book. It is still interesting and exciting but does not feel like it happens to myself and i get to experience it. I hope this makes any sense to you. Both kinds can be lovely but it is a different experience for me. 😊
Your makeup and outfit combo is so stunning!
hey i love your content and just wanted you to know that the line "you have to grow fruits and veggies for the slimes that are vegetarian" is my FAVORITE thing you said in this video and i bark-laughed in the middle of the night because of it. keep up the great work!! 🥰
I bought Ooblets a few months ago thanks to your recommendation, so fun!
This video was so helpful. I learned a lot about each of the games I'm planning to buy. Thankfully most of the games are either S or A tier, so I'm glad to see that it will be worth the buy, especially Coral Island. That is my most anticipated game and it needs to hurry and come to the switch!
I always look forward to these kinds of videos! I mostly buy every game you recommend. They’re always great. And you look so beautiful! Thanks for sharing :)
CORAL ISLAND! I thought I was going crazy, I could have sworn I saw something about this game a year or so ago but I forgot the name and couldn't find it anywhere. Thank you for mentioning it! I'm dying to play Coral Island, it looks so good. We're spoiled for choice on cozy/farming games this year but I think Coral Island will be a gamechanger (pun intended, lol)
Also agree with you on Wylde Flowers, it's flown under the radar but it's really very good.
I find it funny that we see the Olive Town and Mineral Town inverted. (I haven't played A Wonderful Life yet.) I found in Mineral Town that I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, whereas in Olive Town I felt much more like I was in control of the experience I was having and wasn't fighting with a clock. I have heard that the machine mechanics got changed, and I did play that later, so that may be part of it. I will agree, though, that the townsfolk are not its strong suit.
I really like your shirt! It’s so cute!
I cannot wait for Sun Haven and Roots if Pacha to come to switch. I’ve been following both for so long, I’m just ready to play!
I'm glad you're at least being fair with Dreamlight Valley. I've been able to play just fine with the one time Deluxe purchase, and saving up my Moonstones for the stuff I really want. But I get that not everyone can do that. Plus the game has regular updates, they're frequently fixing things, etc. so it's not exactly finished yet. So to be more realistic about it in a tier ranking is a good thing and it's not like you're being harsh about it.
im glad youse mention/played Ooblets because i absolutely adored that game! wish more farming sims would let u collect little guys
I love Dinkum. Minecraft meets animal crossing but australian, love it!!! countless hours spent here. Trying stardew valley right now
Great video! Totally agree about Wylde flowers! Loved it so much on switch I bought again on steam. My Nanna passed away around the same time I played it so it broke me a little but helped me through it at the same time ❤.
Have you played Kynseed? I’m currently playing this one and although farming isn’t the only part of it I’m actually really enjoying it!
I do not have so much experience in farm games and wanted to try one... thanks for the great introduction and rating of so many games ... and it's just a pleasure to listen to you :)
Omg Coral island is amazing and there is still MORE to come as well as the devs said there will be even more updates after the official release! 🎉
I backed so many of these games n Kickstarter. It’s really exciting seeing how far they’ve come.
would recommend the rune factory series if you enjoy rpg/farming sim!! i have 4 & 5 on the switch and i love the mix of farming sim with the rpg elements!
Remake for RF3 is coming this year too!❤
@@CrayonConoisseur i'm so excited for that!! and the two new games they announced!
I really liked Wylde Flowers. For Steamdeck, I can also recommend these farming games: Dinkum, Forager, Kynseed, Luna's Fishing Garden, No Place like Home, Travellers Rest and best of all: Graveyard Keeper (also runs on Switch).
I can def recommend Graveyard Keeper too. I was addicted to that game from start to finish.
Agree on graveyard digger!
I love kynseed so much! Not many know or talk about it
Dinkum is so fun!!
I found that there's not much to do in a Graveyard Keeper after a while but maybe that's just me. It felt like there weren't many places to go, either.
I loved Wylde Flowers it’s sooo good! My only issue is once I finished the main story, I didn’t really want to keep going. I played through the storyline and then I was done
Dreamlight valley was a huge disappointment for me and I wish I have never purchased it. The main story line is interesting but then when it comes to lvl up new characters everything is a bit repetitive, of course additional payments in the game which are not "micro" like you said - they are actually MACRO ( you remember what you said about umbrella? really greedy devs) + the game is quite repetitive already so overall I don't really see a good future for this game to be honest. For me this game is a F category, so I really really regret paying for this game. Lesson is learnt, though. And I love Coral Island and can't wait for it finally be fully released and the game has so much potential:))) This one I do not regret spending money on :))))
I also regret buying disney dreamlight valley. Glorified mobile like game with a triple A price tag for a early access fetch quest simulator.
So right now am currently playing my time at portia and I am SO in love with everything about it right now I can say for sure it's probably going to be my personal fav but I know I'll play others as we whenever but it's such an amazing chill, farming game, it's so much to do and the town people I love them.
I got myself hokko life when it was on sale because I like the animal villagers and it looked cute on ads but when I played it was SO buggy and the villagers have no personalities so i gave it back instantly
Thank you for making such a wonderful content and enriching lives of so many people 🙂
As a lover of chill games, and a lifelong fan of farming sims, I am getting *so* sick of the farming sims 😂 It feels like almost every week someone's coming out with a "new" one. Can we get an actual, real twist on the classic farming game? Farming in space? Farming fictional crops and livestock? Going deeper into relationships with villagers? Going deeper into lore (for crying out loud can we have a farming sim that doesn't start with "you randomly inherited a broken down piece of property that you need to rebuild")? Choose your own adventure? Something? Anything?
I really need to get my head out of PoGo and back into a cosy game. I did get Dreamlight Valley back when, but it got boring for me very quickly, plus F2P irritates me immensely. Coral Island looks great, and so does Wylde Flowers. You are so right about SV being “the game that never dies”. Any time I need a break from gaming (but not), or I’m between games and don’t know what I feel like playing next, I start yet another SV farm and it sucks me in all over again. Really, I’m waiting for Fae Farm and Fantasy Life remake (which I hope they don’t mess up). Also a couple of RPGs. Thanks for the video. ❤
I didn't know you did TH-cam content as well as streaming! I just came across this video while looking for Harvest Moon info! YAY this works out :)
I love that Wylde Flowers has a demo so I can check it out! The price seems great too!
I’m a new subscriber, love your channel! Just got my switch 5 days ago and loving it. Your background is cozy 💜
ahhh hope you enjoy your switch!!
@@Eeowna oh I am! I was N64 player back in the 90s 🙈 then moved to PlayStation. I love your content and got a few games because of your recommendations! Thank you !
Hot take, Disney Dreamlight Valley is D tier, because I’m Nintendo Switch exclusive and I regret buying the game due to glitches.
It's incredible how your taste in farm gamings is exactly like mine! I agree with all the ranking places
I love the type of cozy games that have goals. Like, it can't be just for the story or experience, but also earning money to buy cool things or earning experience to unlock things.
Could you maybe do a Top 10 is this style?
Examples: I love Stardew and BotW because they had both. I also loved SIMS.
I got bored within a couple days of the new Kirby and Story of Seasons. Though I'm still trying SoS.
I'd love suggestions so my next $50 purchase is worth it.
I know you commented like 2 months ago, but I just want to give you my 2 cents: check coral island, it's a mix of harvest moon, stardew valley and animal crossing, along with a splash of environmental goal of saving the ocean from trash and oil spill, you can also somewhat upgrade the town (more items, more shops, more tourists) and also decorate your farm. Its in early access, but there are already so much you can do in it.
I was obsessed with Sun Haven when I first played it, but after playing through the whole storyline and finishing the museum I didn't really feel the desire to keep going. And I also don't see much point in starting a new save because there isn't much variety in playstyle imo. Also the differences in races are quite minimal as far as abilities go, same with the starting profession.
Oh I feel the exact same way
I wasnt sure of i wanted to try Coral Island at first but this video made me try it out and i really like it so far. Ive obly played for 10 minutes and im already hooked
You have given me new games I have to try, I have Coral Island, and Stardew.
Great, quick, concise reviews that told me exactly what I came here for. Thanks!
You convinced me to purchase Wylde Flowers. It's been on my wishlist for awhile.
Palia has been my go to favourite farming sim. There's still a lot of room for improvement but it definitely scratches that farming itch, that desire for farm decorating, and the exploration that takes inspiration from Breath of the Wild. There are micro-transactions, but they are only for cosmetics, and is a free-to-play MMO. Plus they have some of the best written villagers in a farming sim, period. They feel so genuine and I love all of their interactions. The multiplayer aspect could be developed better, but what they have encourages a lot of cooperation and sharing. Highly recommend!
Rune factory is also a very successful series that incorporates farming and combat. I wasn't the biggest fan of the graphics in Rune Factory 5 but they not have Rune Factory 4 (the first one i played and i loved it and 100% it), and they now remastered Rune Factory 3 for the switch (just come graphics upgrades but kept the 2.5D aspect of the graphics which i love^^)
I’m the worst at controlling cameras so rune factory 5 I quit within 30mins I miss 2 and a halfD
speaking of wylde flower finding you at the right time, i was scrolling the steam library while you talked about it and it popped up on my screen
I wish Kynseed would come to Switch too it's definitely worth taking a look at. I do agree Doraemon Special is such a great game once you've passed the very long tutorial lol. I really can't wait for Sun Haven cause it's just amazing.
Surprised you didn’t put Disney Dream light lower on your list. This game made me so angry to play on the switch (more than any game I’ve ever played I believe), and there is no excuse in my opinion for it running so poorly. I had no clue when I bought it that it would run horribly on the switch and I couldn’t convince myself to buy it again for the computer. Games that do so much more and have way less developers are more than capable of being released and running smoothly, even if it that means waiting a little longer for the game to release. If they are willing to charge that much for a game I expect it to be finished and capable of being played. So many people defended it running poorly at first because they “needed time to fix bugs” but then they just never fixed anything for the switch and nobody seems to defend it anymore. After my game crashed over four times and I had to start over, I gave up and realized I totally wasted 60 dollars plus two micro transactions on the worst game I’ve ever played. I truly felt I wasted my time and my money and was mad at myself for even paying greedy Disney in the first place.
I know you mainly play switch and pc games, however, if you ever happen to branch into ds games I highly recommend story of seasons: trio of towns. I personally think that it is the best game in the story of seasons series. There is so much to do and keeps you busy for many (in game) years depending on your play speed.
I agree! Would love to hear some of her favorites on the DS.
Being a farmer in real life sounds like a nightmare to me but I sure do love farm SIMS. Harvest Moon on SNES was my obsession. The newest one on Switch is amazing.
Sigh, darn you! You got me to get my Steam deck out today and got Coral Island! I love it!
So many game I haven't heard about. Thanks!
Are the "My time at..." games considered in the same genre? If yes, you have to give them a play and have two more games in the S tier 😁😁
I can't wait for some of these to come to the Switch! But maybe we'll get Fantasy Life sooner while we wait :)
What are your thoughts on My Time at Portia? Other than Wylde Flowers, I wouldn't put anything else at S tier personally 😊💕
I really enjoy your insights here, these were some very nice and thoughtful reviews
This is a very helpful list, thank you!
I LOVED Harvestella! It got me through my broken ankle and I really loved it and I didn’t want the story to end.
Wylde Flowers was the perfect game once I got settled into it. I loved every moment of it.
I'm so excited for Coral Island on Switch! The time in farming games is always an issue for me because I'm slow and I like to take my time to explore. So being able to make time be what I want it to be is the best thing ever! And the game looks completely wonderful!
When Wylde Flowers and Everdream Valley go on sale, I'm hoping to get them. They look really fun!
I enjoyed my time in Ooblets, but I lost interest once I finished the story part. Never did collect all of them, but that's okay. I really did enjoy my time there. The card-based dance battle is my favorite combat ever!
I bought Slime Rancher but unfortunately the first-person view makes me nauseous, so I had to stop playing it.
Harvestella looks amazing, but with how difficult the combat is, it'll be a game I'll never play.
Man you radiate a refreshing amount of positivity.
New Video!!!! And crazy stream week!! I am so excited. And for everyone reading this: I hope you liked the video, so we push Eeowna in the Algorithm!! #Sampire4Life
NOT THE HASHTAG LMAOOOO
Do you think Coral island will run well on the switch? It looks so huge and beautiful and i feel like "how is that even possible to keep on the switch"
May I suggest rune factory 4? It's made by the same people who made story of seasons and it's an amazing farming game, probably my favorite out of the entire rune factory and story of seasons franchise.
The Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is literally a remake of an older game. This older game was Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. The Harvest Moon franchise was what started farming sims over here in the west. It isn’t a reboot, so all of the stuff stays the same. There may be some quality of life improvements but luckily it has mostly stayed the same as it was when it came out in 2004. To put it in A tier does it a disservice.
I thought the same thing. The OG Harvest Moon games are the entire reason this genre exists and the reason Stardew is the way that it is. I feel like there's a lot of people who aren't really farming sim genre fans, they're just Stardew fans and when games don't replicate or improve on that standard they're put aside.
Idk if it was words slip or if there really is only one goose in EV, but either way I love the idea of one singular notorious/bordering on cryptid, mega goose pestering the farm 😂
Harvestella sounds incredible. I'll need to try it. I think it's a SquareEnix game, so that explains the story focus. I hope it's not grindy though.
Speaking of, for anyone looking to venture out of the pure farming Sim, but you want a fun farming element and lots of customization of your farm, consider trying Dragon Quest Builders 2. I love that game and feel like it doesn't get enough mentions (though it is old...we need a part 3).
Have you taken a look at the Rune Factory series?
Its a spinoff of the original Harvest Moon (Story of Seasons) games that, on top of everything from the older Harvest Moon games, they implemented dungeons, various weapons and weapon/armor crafting (various types of weapons, including wands and dual blades), instead of buying and raising cows, sheep and chickens, you befriend the monster equivalent. They can also help with farming, and you can ride them and take them into battle with you.
If you do want to try it, I would recommend starting out on Rune Factory 4, which has been recently ported to Switch and PC.
