This game is loterally everything everyone wanted and asked for in ACNH, but Disney themed. I never preorder any games as a general rule. But I broke it for DLV. I haven't regretted it a single time. The only thing I regret is not getting one of the bigger founders packs.
This is totally how I feel except I found out about release - after it was released! What kind of fan am I? :( I'm planning to go Ultimate even though I have literally never done that for any game ever.
@@KatyRoseG get it! That’s the one I preordered and have no regrets. I bet all the packs are great but I love anything Royal/regal themed and was able to decorate my house pretty well to start out with.
I'm obsessed with this game, and my issue is truly personal however I sincerely hope the devs take this into consideration.. Like many others, I have epilepsy and unfortunately due to the storms looking like a line of photographers on the red carpet, I have to sit out the storms entirely. Which can take a hot minute sometimes. I'm hoping they'll add a sensitivity option so we can turn off or tone down the lightning for those of us sensitive. The rest of this game is *literally* perfect and it consumes my thoughts throughout the day 😅
Can I ask if you have the game on PC or switch because I was planning on getting it for switch and I have epilepsy as well? And just from experience try turning down the brightness on your game that may help.
@@thecapableplanet7885 I have epilepsy also but mine isn't to severe and I am lucky mine isn't brought on by flashing lights my is brought on by stress. I agree they should add setting for people that have photo sensitive issues. So it won't cause discomfort.
@@lisaray1112 my seizures are bad enough to the point that I can’t drive I don’t really have Grand mall seizures anymore but I still have those petty mall/absent seizures from time to time but video games is one of my passions so I’m always looking for ways to minimize discomfort.
@@thecapableplanet7885 my sezures are pretty much control by my sezure medication . When I do have sezures I just throw up have really bad back aches and I have black outs.

Seriously, I had 0 intention of getting this game but after playing Ooblets and seeing how similar this game was to the lifestyle, I caved and I am honestly enjoying it. Yea it's a bit laggy and the loading screens are a bit annoying but it's just so relaxing and fun and the characters are so pleasant. I highly recommend
It’s so fun! I have the ultimate on switch and have no regrets getting it. For me the lagging is minimal so it doesn’t really bother me. I also make sure to save a little more frequently just in case of a glitch but I’m having a ton of fun with it right now.
@@alise3076 me too! I just bought the standard since I don't care for the cosmetics. I love the quests and there's so much to do. I already completely redecorated the plaza
for someone who isn't obsessed with disney (aka me) it still is such a beautiful game and so fun to play! im loving finding the characters i do love and know and im excited to see where the game goes!
Same here not a massive Disney fan but am really enjoying this game. Few weird glitches but nothing i cant live with. And I’m a sucker for a good character creator. 😆
I bought the ultimate bundle. I love it so far. Figure for the gameplay it's no different than if I bought a triple a game and I'm getting a lot out of it so far and can't wait to see what it's become. It seems like they really listened to what the AC community wanted and did that; I LOVE bulk crafting 😂
I love this game! I play it on pc, It’s free on game pass right now. I also discovered you can edit the entire town. The trees, those ugly barrels in front of your house, all of it can be moved when placing furniture so I moved all my apple trees to one spot. I’m having a lot of fun with it!
I'm loving this game. I have it on my Switch Lite and while the menus are slow the game is really fun. I also picked up the same white flower dress and my vibe for the game is going to be ballgowns and no shoes, reliving my childhood with no complaints.
Great review. I've found this game nearly impossible to put down since grabbing it yesterday. It's just. so. good! Also, I loved your YT stream yesterday. I've caught you on Twitch a few times, but honestly YT is where I spend most of my internet time, so it's just more convenient for me personally. I totally get why streamers tend to prefer Twitch, and I def plan to catch you there whenever I remember to check, but I really love that you're considering the occasional stream here, too. Love your content - keep up the great work!
I have it on my ps5 and I’m obsessed. 17 hours in and I have Wall•E on my island and I’m so happy 😭 I got the ultimate edition because I have zero self control 😅 I’m wondering why nobody has compared it to Grow Song of the Evertree yet!! It’s so much like it!
I’ve completely ignored this game and was so surprised to see some streamers play it and I fell in love with it! I’m having so much fun playing it, can’t wait for more character updates!
Im so glad you did your reviews. For someone who can't own any other console but a switch because my job keeps me constantly on the move. I managed to get it on a really good sale more than 50% off the ultimate edition. I regret nothing.❤
@@PeggyV69 I mean it plays like a switch game. It has bug yeah but what console or pc game doesn't? I think if you expect it to run like a switch game and can look past the flaws then its the game for you but if you are expecting it to play like on other consoles or pc then you will be disappointed
You managed to change my mind completely on this game, went from writing it off to being into it because it’s on sale so was an easy decision. I can see how it was a mobile game because of the energy tasks etc but it’s fun and I’m glad I bought it
I’ve always been a gamer, but for a good couple of years I lost my motivation to want to play anything since Breath of The Wild (which I spent around 6 months every evening after putting my daughter to bed playing 😂) This game has me addicted. I feel excited to play and unwind when I can with Dreamlight Valley and Its so fun unlocking characters ❤ Cant wait for updates and to see where this could go!
I think if Disney made a game where you could recreate all the rides in Disneyland and actually enjoy the rides ( like VR) I think that would be epic. Where you could make in game purchases to unlock new lands in the park and recreate the rides? Imagine the endless possibility, open sandbox Disney world without the lines.
Disneyland Adventures, available for the Xbox One and PC on the game pass, could have been like this; the open world of Disneyland's Magic Kingdom (circa 2010, so before the integration of Star Wars and Marvel) is there, but they chose to make all the rides minigames instead. Sort of missed opportunity there in my opinion, but it's okay. It's pretty fun.
The cosmetic items for the deluxe and ultimate packs are very nice, but I think the biggest draw for them is going to be the premium currency. Even though it's not a thing right now, when the game store launches I'm guessing that premium currency in those values is going to be the price of the founders packs. So 8,000 for $30. 20,000 for $70. So you're basically getting all those cosmetics "free" once the currency is activated. I'm guessing there will be lower tiers like 500 for $7 or something like that, which will not be enough to truly buy anything good. So, having a mass of currency up front plus the bonus items will be nice. That seems to be the way it is with other similar free to play models, at least.
I knew nothing about this game till I saw a brief trailer a week ago, and then on launch day I saw a live play on the Outside Xbox TH-cam channel and was basically "..Well, I MUST own this game." and bought it as soon as I got home from work. Loving every second of it so far. I have taken an INSANE amount of selfies with WALL-E.
Im loving the game. The slow menus can be slightly frustrating but overall still playable. I personally say it was worth the money but I do have to say take caution because even though I say it was worth it doesn't mean it is. Its worth it for me on nostalgia and just love for Disney make it worth it for me
I came across you just searching for nintendo switch games. You are a joy to watch and listen to. Refreshingly honest and relatable. You are my new favorite game reviewer and the first woman Keep posting nintendo switch games i already subscribed after 2 minutes of listening. Love you!!!! Thanks
I did get this … couldn’t resist. I’m really enjoying it. A bit buggy though. Right now I have Wall-e following me around while I harass squirrels trying to feed them, but no prompt. This went on for hours, until I decided that I’d play the rest of the game with Wall-e following me. Lucky I love him. 😂
@@Eeowna They did. When I walked out of my house this morning, a squirrel was waiting for me, I fed it, and Wall-e was happy. I missed him following me though, so now we’re hanging out. ☺️
Will we lose our standard edition if and when it leaves game pass and comes out for free later on? I saved my game to the cloud but idk if that will keep the progress.
Just an FYI, if you have XBox Game Pass, you can play this for free right now and you appear to have the very base founders pack items as well. Cloud Save wouldn't work for me yesterday either, but I am going to get it working so when it comes out for free on Switch I can still have my items. Thank you for showing the difference! My Xbox is an older one and seemed to run a little faster than your description of switch, but slower than pc.
I got the ultimate edition on the switch and I don’t regret it either. It’s so much fun and the clothes and furniture you get are totally worth it. But I was also able to use cloud save and events tab day 1 on the switch, so I’m not sure why not everyone could.
Not so patiently waiting for them to release it on Mac so I can join in on the fun! I am glad they said us Mac users wouldn't lose out on founder's goodies and deals either.
This is like kingdom hearts meets animal crossing, literally my dream game I had no doubt I was gonna buy it in early access but now I know I’m buying the most expensive pack lol thanks for your video it really helped reaffirm what I knew q
One small correction, it's not available on Android or iOS yet. They've discussed that they want the full game release to be ready before putting it out on those platforms. But yes I agree it's a fantastic game and I'm having a blast so far!
I’m pretty sure I can wait till it’s free, lol. I don’t actually like any of the items in the founders packs. Plus I only have a switch, it can be like Stitch because they both can glitch. XD Lilo and Stitch is my favourite disney movie, I couldn’t stop myself, lol. But I did see Remi in a let’s play and that temps me, but not enough yet to buy. Glad to see you having fun.
I got so lucky. My b day was on the 29th of august and this came out on the 6th of september so my parents and brother clubbed together and bought me the ultimate edition pre order! 🥳
Your stream/coverage of this game got me to look into it on Game Pass. I was playing it for countless hours on my Xbox last night. I'm considering buying the Ultimate Edition tonight after midnight, when my paycheck comes in. I'll just play on Xbox for now, which will likely remain my primary platform, enjoy all the extra goodies, and wait for it to become free to play to transfer my progress to Switch and PC/Steam Deck.
What if I buy the standard version, how much more do we need to pay for the Ultimate Edition? Will they deduct the price of standard? Or we have to pay the whole price for Ultimate?
@@mariussantos94 you can’t upgrade a pack once you buy it on a platform. The only way you can get it elsewhere is to buy it over on another platform and buy the different type you want. There’s no deduction.
first of all, I found you via shear luck- thank you for reviewing this game I am getting the top package- I loved animal crossing and played it for a year or so- Now I check my island like once a month- so I have been looking forward to this game. thank you thank you for reviewing
I was skeptical at first but I think this is the game I never knew I needed in my life. As a Disney, Sims and SDV fan--I didn’t know it was going to be like this.
IF YOU WANT MORE COSMETICS... (for any platform). on steam and epic games you can download the avatar creator. after creating the avatar, it will give you a code. YOU CAN PUT THE CODE IN EVEN AFTER YOU CREATE A CHARACTER! it doesn't matter if you download it on epic games, you can still put the code on your steam or switch. this means that if you never used a code you can then add all the items you want on your character
You can actually play this game for almost free ($1 USD) if you sign up for Xbox Game Pass under their trial, no actual console needed as you can play in your browser. The only limitation is that it seems like it only has controller support, not keyboard/mouse (not yet anyway, allegedly to be incorporated on more cloud games). I have Game Pass and have been having a lovely time playing, not really sure what I'm missing from the different tiered packs and I don't really care!
Me and my boyfriend are waiting for the complete full game release to play it together next year. Hopefully it comes out early 2023 but we will see. I'm glad people are enjoying the game it gives us something to look forward to.
@@Eeowna I know I already have my wishlist lol, but yeah I am excited for when I am able to get them as well. September is a good game month. I look forward to eventually getting beacon pines, lemon cake, bear and breakfast and hokko life. I plan to get those in the future as well. So excited
Welp, you answered my question about upgrading the pack later on Switch. That's really unfortunate, but I'll just have to scrutinize the items a bit more between now and Friday lol Sad I missed todays Twitch stream, but thank you for giving so much info on this game - yesterday's stream here was a blast!
I was so skeptical wether i'd like it or not after i watched some gameplay and videos like yours. But playing it, it was mindblowing. So relaxing, so easy and intuitive. I'm so glad i can play it for a few hours unlike in animal crossing! Also character creation is simple but awesome, i mean characters looks very charming (both male and female). I'm glad it runs well on switch but i play it on serie S.
I have admittedly pumped almost 20 hours into this game. The puzzles aren't too hard, but being able to pretty much have free reign over everything is pretty great. In ACNH money is a huge problem. Also not being able to play properly at night was a bit annoying. This game fixed that issue entirely. I just don't know how many characters truly are available. The game says there are 17 but the promotional art has beauty and the beast, stitch, and more, but I cannot find them. However, Wall-E is the cutest character on the planet and my favorite. being able to have more time with this character is fantastic.
I’ve watched a couple of vids to decide if I should try this game, and so far yours have been the most useful. You’re an excellent reviewer you covered exactly all the things I wanted to know. Thanks for this and I just subscribed to your channel :)
My sister talks about this game a lot! I love the breakdown of the different editions and information about cross platform. Very informative video and can't wait to purchase :) Glad I found your channel!
The game is gorgeous and has so much potential. If you change the controller sensitivity settings on the switch, the menus will run better. This was after playing a few times with my cousin
I have it on Switch, ultimate pkg. My game crashed, I got an error and it closed the game down. I have no fruit on trees or bushes. A bit of lag opening the menus, it’s consistent. It’s ‘early release’ I definitely expected glitches. 🤞 they update and fix issues as they happen. I’m glad to support the creators. 😊 This game is Well Done! ♥️👍👍
I’m already love it and played it for nearly under 20 hours already. From what I’ve been playing for roughly 2 days now. Also, for the other characters, that looks like an update for later on from within the castle. Which, could be possible here. So, I hope they fix bit of minor glitches that is slightly happening for the time being.
I’m loving the game on my switch. My game did bug out a bit when I unlocked the castle and I was able to unlock two portals and not just one. Which isn’t really a bad thing lol 😂 I’ve had a few issues with it crashing but after a second software update I haven’t been experiencing many crashes. Thank you for the review. I’m so glad that I got the deluxe version. I will definitely be putting it on my PC.
It was your video that convinced me to get it! ACNH got me through lockdown, etc, but I have done 99% of it and now it’s just “maintenance” and a little boring. So I got the game and played for three hours until I finally had to stop and make dinner:)
Thanks for making this video Eeowna. But is there a game sharing option like other switch games? I want to buy it for my family's Switch. But can other users play it too? Or is it bound to 1 user (who purchased the account) in a Switch.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this in the comments, but I was able to download the game on the Xbox One X for free, basically; I'm on the Game Pass Ultimate which is not free but which costs $15 a month so technically it's not free. :-) In any case, the game is absolutely amazing, I absolutely agree with that point. But, my primary platform, when I get it back, will be the computer as always. I'm primarily a computer gamer; the 60 frames per second footage versus the Nintendo switch version instantly reconfirms that to me :-) and cross progression will definitely help that. However, I believe that we Game Pass users are limited to the base founders pack, and like you said, we probably won't be able to change it later. Oh well. Keep up the wonderful work as always, Iona! I love watching your videos.
Nice Review - I did get $79 on Switch and I do have all the Pixar and I can Cloud Save too - Hope you get all that all worked out all the Star events add MORE questing SO fun
Probably going to wait for this to be free since I'd have to play it on switch and the performance issues plus the items just aren't worth the cost to me, but I think I'll definitely get it when it's available!
I was originally not gonna get it because I thought it looked too mobile game-like but I caved in and bought it out of curiosity. The Switch version is really laggy and it crashed once on me but thank goodness for the auto save so I didn’t lose too much. Either way, for once in my life, I think the fun far outweighs the lag and crashes. There’s so much you can do and unlock and I’m genuinely surprised that this game will be free (+ cosmetic monetisation) next year.
I wish the game would run as smoothly on the switch as it does on pc, that's the only thing stopping me from buying this (for now, we'll see if i give up and just buy the game lol). But I'll definitely watch your dreamlight valley streams!! Can't wait to see you play today! ❤️
i love it a lot even tho i had several crashes and it even froze several times but due to it saving the game so often it has not bothered me at all~ so excited to see how much it is gonna develop until release 💖
I'm still waiting for the other foot to drop, like an update that will make the plants grow in real time or the only good clothing will have to be bought using real money. So I am still hesitant
I'm also waiting on this . I so SO want to get the game but I dunno if I want to because of the micro transactions and the FOMO of potentially missing an item because it's behind the premium paywall or because I need a break from the game and then never see it again. I really REALLY hope that I am wrong about being cynical and it's actually wonderful.
@@june8713 I'm so glad I'm not alone in this feeling! Everywhere I turn everyone is saying they love it and no one is talking about the stuff I'm concerned over. So yay for worried people I guess?
@@valkyriedarquese ya but....I don't exactly trust Disney not to lock all the good cosmetic stuff behind a pay wall. (And by good I mean anything not already in the game) Call me skeptic, but I've been burned by "free" to play games a few times, mostly cause I can get suckered easily.
I was so worried that I would have was wasted my money. But I was wrong. This game is so addictive. I got it for ps5 and haven’t stopped playing. It’s not hard and frankly basic. But it’s such a good game in that way. I usually don’t even like cosmetic things in games. But I do in this. My house feels so relaxing lol. I really really love this game and don’t regret paying the maximum price for it.
Switch version tends to crash after playing for a while and then trying to open the menus. This has been quite consistent from what I noticed so far. Auto save doesn’t save often enough so be prepared to repeat quests and lose collected items etc
I just have two questions: 1) Are clothes gender-locked? 2) You mentioned you can change eeeverything in that wardrobe tab - can we also switch (hue hue, get it? switch. I am not gonna apologize) body features - hair, eyes (and gender)? I am so happy I found your channel + I just love the review!
Yes! I designed it so that nothing would be gender-defined or locked, and that you can change absolutely every aspect of your appearance at any time while playing through the wardrobe menu ❤️🙌
I love this game. You are so lucky it’s not crashing on you. Mine crashes a lot. It’s annoying and sometimes I lose the last thing I did. However, it is not keeping me from playing. Also, is this where we were supposed to put in #stream ? Love your videos, streams and you! You are such a pleasant person with a beautiful soul!
Switch player here! The only glitch I’m getting is in menus (inventory, loading quests, etc). I purchased the base game as someone whose not fully unit Disney or their characters and am completely satisfied!
Did no one else scream-laugh at the “playing for ten minutes on the toilet” comment?? Mate, if you’re spending ten minutes on the toilet there might be something wrong 😂 Solid review, downloaded the second it released but was still finishing Islets so starting it tonight - so excited, it looks amazing!
I'm in love with this game! The only thing that bothers me is the world edit mode, I feel like the joycon is too sensitive when I try to place and select stuff (I play on a switch lite).
This might be a weird question but how do I get the mole off of my face on the lid character? Is it just the one I chose to begin with and am stuck with mole now?
Finally they are creating something similar to Disney Magical World which was on the DS, you had to battle bosses in that one though. I'm excited, I can't wait for the hard copy.
So... i wanted to wait til it was free and then today i won a giveaway and won the 70€ version. i'm still shocked, i'm so happy

This is a great idea, and I think the whole rollercoaster / zoo tycoon genre of games would benefit a ton from VR 😯
this game 100% would work in VR... who knows... it may happen next year
omg yes!
There was also VMK (Virtual Magic Kingdom) in the early 2000s and that game was so fun! RIP VMK.

I love this game but the future of microtransactions scare me since the developer is Gameloft
Im loving the game. The slow menus can be slightly frustrating but overall still playable. I personally say it was worth the money but I do have to say take caution because even though I say it was worth it doesn't mean it is. Its worth it for me on nostalgia and just love for Disney make it worth it for me
I came across you just searching for nintendo switch games. You are a joy to watch and listen to. Refreshingly honest and relatable. You are my new favorite game reviewer and the first woman
Keep posting nintendo switch games i already subscribed after 2 minutes of listening. Love you!!!! Thanks
I did get this … couldn’t resist. I’m really enjoying it. A bit buggy though. Right now I have Wall-e following me around while I harass squirrels trying to feed them, but no prompt. This went on for hours, until I decided that I’d play the rest of the game with Wall-e following me. Lucky I love him. 😂
Omg I love this 😂 hopefully they’re gonna role out some more patches
Patch already out this evening
@@Eeowna They did. When I walked out of my house this morning, a squirrel was waiting for me, I fed it, and Wall-e was happy. I missed him following me though, so now we’re hanging out. ☺️
Love the video! Quick tip for everyone: if you have Xbox game pass you can get the standard edition for free.
Will we lose our standard edition if and when it leaves game pass and comes out for free later on? I saved my game to the cloud but idk if that will keep the progress.
This looks so fun! If we don’t eventually get some Treasure Planet or Atlantis characters in this game I will riot!!😭
I saw one of the Atlantis Statues in the trailer, so I have hope
Also, at 7:55 she shows what I can only assume to be the in game photo album. And has a couple pictures of written Atlantean
Just an FYI, if you have XBox Game Pass, you can play this for free right now and you appear to have the very base founders pack items as well. Cloud Save wouldn't work for me yesterday either, but I am going to get it working so when it comes out for free on Switch I can still have my items. Thank you for showing the difference! My Xbox is an older one and seemed to run a little faster than your description of switch, but slower than pc.
Thank you so much for the review! I had a blast watching your live playthrough and I'm convinced I need this game!
Thank you so much 😊
I got the ultimate edition on the switch and I don’t regret it either. It’s so much fun and the clothes and furniture you get are totally worth it. But I was also able to use cloud save and events tab day 1 on the switch, so I’m not sure why not everyone could.
Same but I also waited way late into the night to start it so I feel like a lot of bugs were worked out by the time I sat down and played.
Since you got it on the switch does other profiles have access to it on your switch?
@@tiffanyedinger359 Yes!
Not so patiently waiting for them to release it on Mac so I can join in on the fun! I am glad they said us Mac users wouldn't lose out on founder's goodies and deals either.
Your hair reminds me of those tubes of sherbet you could get at the school disco 😭 cute!
Your “like Sir???” During the Goofy photo sesh gave me a laugh and got you a sub!!!
Best wishes
I hope this game is as charming as it sounds
This is like kingdom hearts meets animal crossing, literally my dream game I had no doubt I was gonna buy it in early access but now I know I’m buying the most expensive pack lol thanks for your video it really helped reaffirm what I knew q
Great video!! finally decided to purchase the game because of your lovely review.
One small correction, it's not available on Android or iOS yet. They've discussed that they want the full game release to be ready before putting it out on those platforms. But yes I agree it's a fantastic game and I'm having a blast so far!
I’m pretty sure I can wait till it’s free, lol. I don’t actually like any of the items in the founders packs. Plus I only have a switch, it can be like Stitch because they both can glitch. XD Lilo and Stitch is my favourite disney movie, I couldn’t stop myself, lol. But I did see Remi in a let’s play and that temps me, but not enough yet to buy. Glad to see you having fun.
I'll let you know if I find stitch!
@@Eeowna Sounds great, thanks.
I got so lucky. My b day was on the 29th of august and this came out on the 6th of september so my parents and brother clubbed together and bought me the ultimate edition pre order! 🥳
Your stream/coverage of this game got me to look into it on Game Pass. I was playing it for countless hours on my Xbox last night. I'm considering buying the Ultimate Edition tonight after midnight, when my paycheck comes in. I'll just play on Xbox for now, which will likely remain my primary platform, enjoy all the extra goodies, and wait for it to become free to play to transfer my progress to Switch and PC/Steam Deck.
What if I buy the standard version, how much more do we need to pay for the Ultimate Edition? Will they deduct the price of standard? Or we have to pay the whole price for Ultimate?
@@mariussantos94 you can’t upgrade a pack once you buy it on a platform. The only way you can get it elsewhere is to buy it over on another platform and buy the different type you want. There’s no deduction.
@@sweetluvgurl oh wow? So it’s better to start Ultimate edition if you’re a Disney fan?
@@sweetluvgurl do you think it’s better to play it on PS5?? Also does the save works already? If ur playing switch then PC?
There isn’t the crossplay? You suggest steam deck version or Switch in portable?
first of all, I found you via shear luck- thank you for reviewing this game I am getting the top package- I loved animal crossing and played it for a year or so- Now I check my island like once a month- so I have been looking forward to this game. thank you thank you for reviewing
I was skeptical at first but I think this is the game I never knew I needed in my life. As a Disney, Sims and SDV fan--I didn’t know it was going to be like this.
IF YOU WANT MORE COSMETICS... (for any platform). on steam and epic games you can download the avatar creator. after creating the avatar, it will give you a code. YOU CAN PUT THE CODE IN EVEN AFTER YOU CREATE A CHARACTER! it doesn't matter if you download it on epic games, you can still put the code on your steam or switch. this means that if you never used a code you can then add all the items you want on your character
You can actually play this game for almost free ($1 USD) if you sign up for Xbox Game Pass under their trial, no actual console needed as you can play in your browser. The only limitation is that it seems like it only has controller support, not keyboard/mouse (not yet anyway, allegedly to be incorporated on more cloud games). I have Game Pass and have been having a lovely time playing, not really sure what I'm missing from the different tiered packs and I don't really care!
Stream gang 💪🏻 got the game last night for my birthday and been watching your content, so hyped to play ☺️
Omg you mentioned treasure planet and it made my heart soar. 🥺
Me and my boyfriend are waiting for the complete full game release to play it together next year. Hopefully it comes out early 2023 but we will see. I'm glad people are enjoying the game it gives us something to look forward to.
There’s plenty of other cozy games this month! 😊
@@Eeowna I know I already have my wishlist lol, but yeah I am excited for when I am able to get them as well. September is a good game month. I look forward to eventually getting beacon pines, lemon cake, bear and breakfast and hokko life. I plan to get those in the future as well. So excited
Welp, you answered my question about upgrading the pack later on Switch. That's really unfortunate, but I'll just have to scrutinize the items a bit more between now and Friday lol Sad I missed todays Twitch stream, but thank you for giving so much info on this game - yesterday's stream here was a blast!
3:23 Duck McScrooge? Did you mean Scrooge McDuck? I was just wondering; love your content😄😄😄
You NEED NEED TO PLAY disney magical kingdom 2 on the 3ds- its amazing and technically the same concept
I was so skeptical wether i'd like it or not after i watched some gameplay and videos like yours.
But playing it, it was mindblowing. So relaxing, so easy and intuitive.
I'm so glad i can play it for a few hours unlike in animal crossing!
Also character creation is simple but awesome, i mean characters looks very charming (both male and female).
I'm glad it runs well on switch but i play it on serie S.
Subscribed as soon as you said treasure planet is underrated. I want a treasure planet game so badly!!
I have admittedly pumped almost 20 hours into this game. The puzzles aren't too hard, but being able to pretty much have free reign over everything is pretty great. In ACNH money is a huge problem. Also not being able to play properly at night was a bit annoying. This game fixed that issue entirely. I just don't know how many characters truly are available. The game says there are 17 but the promotional art has beauty and the beast, stitch, and more, but I cannot find them. However, Wall-E is the cutest character on the planet and my favorite. being able to have more time with this character is fantastic.
I’ve watched a couple of vids to decide if I should try this game, and so far yours have been the most useful. You’re an excellent reviewer you covered exactly all the things I wanted to know. Thanks for this and I just subscribed to your channel :)
My sister talks about this game a lot! I love the breakdown of the different editions and information about cross platform. Very informative video and can't wait to purchase :) Glad I found your channel!
The game is gorgeous and has so much potential. If you change the controller sensitivity settings on the switch, the menus will run better. This was after playing a few times with my cousin
ty for the tip!! :D
I have it on Switch, ultimate pkg. My game crashed, I got an error and it closed the game down. I have no fruit on trees or bushes. A bit of lag opening the menus, it’s consistent. It’s ‘early release’ I definitely expected glitches. 🤞 they update and fix issues as they happen. I’m glad to support the creators. 😊 This game is Well Done! ♥️👍👍
I’m already love it and played it for nearly under 20 hours already. From what I’ve been playing for roughly 2 days now. Also, for the other characters, that looks like an update for later on from within the castle. Which, could be possible here.
So, I hope they fix bit of minor glitches that is slightly happening for the time being.
The nostalgia, my god the nostalgia. Soon as that Disney Theme kicks in, you sit back and your childhood flashes through your brain.
I’m loving the game on my switch. My game did bug out a bit when I unlocked the castle and I was able to unlock two portals and not just one. Which isn’t really a bad thing lol 😂 I’ve had a few issues with it crashing but after a second software update I haven’t been experiencing many crashes. Thank you for the review. I’m so glad that I got the deluxe version. I will definitely be putting it on my PC.
It was your video that convinced me to get it! ACNH got me through lockdown, etc, but I have done 99% of it and now it’s just “maintenance” and a little boring. So I got the game and played for three hours until I finally had to stop and make dinner:)
Thanks for making this video Eeowna. But is there a game sharing option like other switch games? I want to buy it for my family's Switch. But can other users play it too? Or is it bound to 1 user (who purchased the account) in a Switch.
I love your personality and enthusiasm. I really enjoyed your review!
I loved the character creation. I love the game play itself omg
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this in the comments, but I was able to download the game on the Xbox One X for free, basically; I'm on the Game Pass Ultimate which is not free but which costs $15 a month so technically it's not free. :-)
In any case, the game is absolutely amazing, I absolutely agree with that point. But, my primary platform, when I get it back, will be the computer as always. I'm primarily a computer gamer; the 60 frames per second footage versus the Nintendo switch version instantly reconfirms that to me :-) and cross progression will definitely help that. However, I believe that we Game Pass users are limited to the base founders pack, and like you said, we probably won't be able to change it later. Oh well.
Keep up the wonderful work as always, Iona! I love watching your videos.
I'm obsessed it's sooooo good! Definitely lots of hiccups on the Switch with performance so I hope they will be fixed soon (including crashes)
They’ve already done one patch so I have hope
I don’t know if someone already has told you but you remind me of Jinx Monsoon… like… A LOT ❤
I just bought Ursula her house
Pro tip fishing makes u crazy money
Im playing on ps4
You've sold me on this. I've always wanted more from ACNH and this seems just like it might be what I'm looking for!
BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEO ON THIS!
Nice Review - I did get $79 on Switch and I do have all the Pixar and I can Cloud Save too - Hope you get all that all worked out all the Star events add MORE questing SO fun
I kinda wish I brought my switch with me because I'm actually at Disney world now, but at the same time I'm glad because I really want this on my ps5.
OMG IMAGINE
@@Eeowna I won't be back home until Friday night, but I'm getting ultimate edition right when I enter my house lol.
I’m playing it on PS5. Loving every minute of it so far!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been trying to decide if I want to play and what to play on! This was so helpful🥰
I broke down and got this because of you! I have had it freeze up on me twice but other than that, it’s been fine. Enjoying it.
This game has everything and no daily time limits which is even better. Thank you for the wonderful videos and the streams. #streamgang
Probably going to wait for this to be free since I'd have to play it on switch and the performance issues plus the items just aren't worth the cost to me, but I think I'll definitely get it when it's available!
It’s going to be free!? When?
@@Violett4411 2023
I loved the stream! Also will be picking this up (cheapest tho just spent 100 bucks on shoes and have to pay bills)
I was originally not gonna get it because I thought it looked too mobile game-like but I caved in and bought it out of curiosity. The Switch version is really laggy and it crashed once on me but thank goodness for the auto save so I didn’t lose too much. Either way, for once in my life, I think the fun far outweighs the lag and crashes. There’s so much you can do and unlock and I’m genuinely surprised that this game will be free (+ cosmetic monetisation) next year.
Starting this now 😍
the character creator is on steam for free, so if u want to continuously make ur character/OC get the creator!! its so good!
Duck McScrooge????!!! I literally just died!!! XD LMAO!! :D GOODNESS!!! I NEEDED THAT!!! XD :D
I’m addicted I played for like 8 hours straight yesterday 😭
SAME I CAN'T STOP
Same! Except, in all honesty, I should probably add a few hours to that number... send help...
@@Eeowna I’ve racked up 19 and a half hours 😭
I've been watching your streams for the past 2 days and I really want to buy this game. But I have to be a responsible adult and pay bills first.
I wish the game would run as smoothly on the switch as it does on pc, that's the only thing stopping me from buying this (for now, we'll see if i give up and just buy the game lol). But I'll definitely watch your dreamlight valley streams!! Can't wait to see you play today! ❤️
I played for 10 hours yesterday! 🤣. Great stream yesterday too, you deserved the positive response. ❤️
i love it a lot even tho i had several crashes and it even froze several times but due to it saving the game so often it has not bothered me at all~ so excited to see how much it is gonna develop until release 💖
I'm still waiting for the other foot to drop, like an update that will make the plants grow in real time or the only good clothing will have to be bought using real money. So I am still hesitant
I'm also waiting on this . I so SO want to get the game but I dunno if I want to because of the micro transactions and the FOMO of potentially missing an item because it's behind the premium paywall or because I need a break from the game and then never see it again. I really REALLY hope that I am wrong about being cynical and it's actually wonderful.
@@Itsjess13 Exactly!
@@june8713 I'm so glad I'm not alone in this feeling! Everywhere I turn everyone is saying they love it and no one is talking about the stuff I'm concerned over. So yay for worried people I guess?
I think Disney confirmed that transactions will only be for cosmetic items.
@@valkyriedarquese ya but....I don't exactly trust Disney not to lock all the good cosmetic stuff behind a pay wall. (And by good I mean anything not already in the game) Call me skeptic, but I've been burned by "free" to play games a few times, mostly cause I can get suckered easily.
I was so worried that I would have was wasted my money. But I was wrong. This game is so addictive. I got it for ps5 and haven’t stopped playing. It’s not hard and frankly basic. But it’s such a good game in that way. I usually don’t even like cosmetic things in games. But I do in this. My house feels so relaxing lol. I really really love this game and don’t regret paying the maximum price for it.
I played the same time, and my cloud saved work just fine. The event tap didn't come up but....there was already a update for the switch this evening.
Switch version tends to crash after playing for a while and then trying to open the menus. This has been quite consistent from what I noticed so far. Auto save doesn’t save often enough so be prepared to repeat quests and lose collected items etc
Do enjoy it on switch but yes but crashing 5 times in 6 hours is annoying, a lot of progress lost only to have to redo it 😭
I have noticed this too. I have gotten to saving after I do something or part of a quest
I just have two questions:
1) Are clothes gender-locked?
2) You mentioned you can change eeeverything in that wardrobe tab - can we also switch (hue hue, get it? switch. I am not gonna apologize) body features - hair, eyes (and gender)?
I am so happy I found your channel + I just love the review!
Yes! I designed it so that nothing would be gender-defined or locked, and that you can change absolutely every aspect of your appearance at any time while playing through the wardrobe menu ❤️🙌
Thanks for the review! It's always nice when you end up loving a game & regretting nothing. I will probably buy it for my PS today ;)
I love this game. You are so lucky it’s not crashing on you. Mine crashes a lot. It’s annoying and sometimes I lose the last thing I did. However, it is not keeping me from playing.
Also, is this where we were supposed to put in #stream ?
Love your videos, streams and you! You are such a pleasant person with a beautiful soul!
Bless you for doing this comparison, I know I want this game ASAP, but didn’t know if it’s worth it on the switch.
Switch player here! The only glitch I’m getting is in menus (inventory, loading quests, etc). I purchased the base game as someone whose not fully unit Disney or their characters and am completely satisfied!
I’m debating between this game and the game coming out Bear and Breakfast
Did no one else scream-laugh at the “playing for ten minutes on the toilet” comment?? Mate, if you’re spending ten minutes on the toilet there might be something wrong 😂
Solid review, downloaded the second it released but was still finishing Islets so starting it tonight - so excited, it looks amazing!
I'm in love with this game! The only thing that bothers me is the world edit mode, I feel like the joycon is too sensitive when I try to place and select stuff (I play on a switch lite).
Yeah I have to admit it’s been more fiddly than I was expecting
Agreed. I hope they add the ability to use the dpad when editing.
This might be a weird question but how do I get the mole off of my face on the lid character? Is it just the one I chose to begin with and am stuck with mole now?
Finally they are creating something similar to Disney Magical World which was on the DS, you had to battle bosses in that one though. I'm excited, I can't wait for the hard copy.
been loving this game. 10/10 so far and i’m very excited for the full launch!
i love this game! on xbox i was having massive problems using cloud save and claiming the early founders packs though :(
