I've seen you comment on other creators too, shows you really care about the community that you take the time to thank everyone who spreads the Word about your game :3
Loving the game so far! I defs agree about the stamina at least at the start (just left the starting planet in my first save). I think it would be nice if shooting enemies didn’t use energy as the ones that are hardest to avoid take like 4 hits and burn through energy fast. I know it’s a bit more complex on the dev side as the same tool is used to destroy rocks and hit enemies but maybe gun shots that hit enemies don’t use stamina but ones that miss or hit rocks do? Either way loving it so far!
@@annam.6494 Hi anna, best timing ever!! We just pushed an update that actually just reduced the health of the buzz creep (the firefly hard enemy) down a bit to help with combat difficulty and save some energy. This with some other tuning changes hopefully help especially in the beginning. ❤
Thank you for mentioning Steam Deck compatibility! I’m definitely going to buy it now. I loveeeee that it’s not a short game either since I prefer playing games that are more than 20 hours.
I played the demo and overall loved it and really love how the map is layed out and the color coding. I do agree I do find the combat a little challenge and while I personally like a challenge I know there are others who might not like it. One of my thoughts about the game that I wish was a bit better (unless I am missing something) is when you are cleaning your base with the yellow looking gun (I can't remember the name) you have to hold the mouse button and I wish there was a toggle option for those who might want it or need it.
After this review, they have added a setting to make the microbe minigame easier or remove it completely! Nothing for the combat yet, though. I can say from experience that it's *possible* to complete the game's story and complete all but two achievements without ever zapping a single creep, but it is quite tough!
I'm so excited to play this game!! I was definitely one of the people hyping up this game during NextFest! I am so happy it is out and glad that you love it
you’re absolutely gorgeous gf!! your hair, outfit, everything is too cute!!🥰🥰🥰 really wanna check this one out, it’s so sweet that the developers are a couple
Yess! Little Known Galazy for Switch, for sure! It looks like so much fun! I want more cozy sci-fi games and stories in general. Too many wars and nasty aliens and dystopias and boring space politics.
I’ve been playing the demo and I love it so far. Between what I’ve experienced so far and this review, I think I’m gonna have to buy this one. Not like I need another farming sim 🤣
Not many games can compare to Stardew Valley cause of some simple reasons.. Scaling and story is done at just the right pace. You got new goals when you complete stuff. You never feel like you are grinding or completing stuff too fast. I NEVER got bored cause the farming felt rewarding cause you got just the right amount of gold and you unlocked stuff just when it started to get tedious. And the story was also moving at the right pace cause it was being locked behind stuff you needed to do, like hearts etc. I played it 3 times, first two times clean and the last time filled with mods. I think the closest I've come to Stardew Valley is Sun Haven to be honest. Just waiting for them to stop with updates and then I'm gonna start a fresh save. :D Other games that I loved is: Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles Grow: Song of the Evertree Moonstone Island Littlewood My time at Portia Paleo Pines I also think Echoes of the Plum Grove could be amazing in the future with more updates. Just some tips for my fellow cozy gamers. :D
I am really enjoying this game. I was kind of in a rut with cozy games. I am sure you have been there and this game makes me so happy. I wish there was a way to make a little more money while I am trying to grind. Even when I grow plants I use them as energy while I am down on the planet. So that’s frustrating to me. I think they might need to slightly adjust their prices to balance it out a little. I am trying to grind and make money to upgrade my tools.
Thanks for the great review! This looks like a lovely game that would be right up my alley - if it were on Switch. We really need it need it on Switch! It honestly seems high-quality and different enough to be fun and fresh and not just another "farming sim." I love a lot of the unique mechanics and the art style is adorable.
I’ve followed you for a while but I missed this review when it came out. I happened to buy the game last week when I found it on steam and was like yep this looks like my jam. Started playing today and I’m enjoying it but I agree with you about the energy. Feels like I have to put off upgrades because I spend money on energy instead as it goes out so quick. Hopefully I get more stamina at some point or s more consistent money maker
I also wish upgrades weren’t quite as long. I’ve just been playing moonstone island and those are instant or the next day for some things so now I’m used to it haha
I started playing it today. I really like it but I wish you could see your tool bar without going into your backpack and I also would like to see what you are finding. I haven’t gotten too far so but am very interested in seeing how it progresses.
Do you know if there is a way to edit your character's look after you've started the game? I'm four hours in and was hoping something would unlock to be able to allow me to do this like we see in a lot of cozy games but I haven't seen anything yet and my eyebrows on my character are grey :/
I'm not a native English speaker so I might be wrong here, but if you say this is an honest review doesn't that imply all your other reviews aren't honest?
No…all my reviews are honest, I wouldn’t make them if they weren’t. I’ve just started using the word “honest” to really highlight that I’m gonna dive in and give you pros and cons no matter what
I said that I liked those parts! Mines / dungeons are usually my favorite part of these kinds of games actually! I just know some viewers in the audience don’t like combat which is why I included it 💕
Thanks Payton for reviewing and streaming the game today! Means everything to us. 🌟

Also the crew locator is genius and should be added to every game in existence! Same with the opening hours and days on shops. Amazing!

Absolutely need it on switch!!! Think of all the mom gamers like me playing it on the sofa when the kids are finally in bed 😅
Girl yes same. The switch has saved me through two babies.
Nonlt a mom (or a woman for that matter) but I'd love to play this on my Switch as well.

Other games that I loved is:
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles
Grow: Song of the Evertree
Moonstone Island
Littlewood
My time at Portia
Paleo Pines
I also think Echoes of the Plum Grove could be amazing in the future with more updates.
Just some tips for my fellow cozy gamers. :D
Grow is so good!!
Have you tried coral island?
I played the demo this weekend and was HOOKED. I already picked it up to play the full thing!
Great video! You convinced me to pick it up, I don't play a lot of cozy games but i was interested in this one because of the space theme.

Saving mid day would be nice. to counter this I usually just pause and put my steam deck to sleep and that works great lol
I would love this on Switch! Looks so fun. Been looking for a game like this. Thanks so much for the review! Very informative. 👍😀

switch version will be no brainer 😝
I have 50 hours down, I’m loving this game!! 😊 Thanks for the review!
I'm thinking about getting a steam deck but this is just another reason! I MUST HAVE THIS GAME!!
Thanks for the kind words about the soundtrack!
just curious, have you trained your voice or the way you talk?
I’m a trained actor but I definitely feel like I’ve always had a unique way of speaking before that though!
Absolutely can't wait to try this game!!
Thanks for the review. I'll wish list it until I get some money. I'm glad they have a demo. I'll try that.
Got the game before the video was even finished lol im sold i got this and cult of the lamb
Two great choices 😊
@@DippedinMelaninCo yes it is
I love the theme of this game!!!! Looks amazing and cannot wait to play. Hope it would be out on switch as well 🥺🥺🥺

Steam deck needs its on game shows that show off all new games for the deck verified
Oooooo that sounds like a game for me! I love space farming!
Hopefully it comes out on switch
you have two body types but the icon for one of the body types is a dress :D
Does anyone know how to buy or make vinegar?
It needs to come to switch!
Have you played Mars Base? If so, How does it compare to that?
16:05 Dive you say? 👀
I really want to play this on the switch 😍😍
i would play the hell out of this game on switch!
I definitely want this on Switch
Switch version is needed!
Good review.
I'm not a native English speaker so I might be wrong here, but if you say this is an honest review doesn't that imply all your other reviews aren't honest?
No…all my reviews are honest, I wouldn’t make them if they weren’t. I’ve just started using the word “honest” to really highlight that I’m gonna dive in and give you pros and cons no matter what
pleeeeeease, my dear. tell me it's for the switch. 😍
I believe it's only on steam right now.
So you want to turn off the parts you aren’t good at
I said that I liked those parts! Mines / dungeons are usually my favorite part of these kinds of games actually! I just know some viewers in the audience don’t like combat which is why I included it 💕
We need this on switch!! 🥲
Thank you so much for talking about body type and pronouns. It means a lot 🥹
Just watching this made me rush to steam to add the game to my wishlist i love the look of this cute game
