    You are the only person ive heard talk about how mid combat in dungeons you'll auto swap to your tools sometimes. I thought i was going crazy every time it happened to me. Im a combat fiend who likes cozy games, so i was getting really mad that i was losing control in a fight, especially in dungeon 2. Those statues hurt SO MUCH, and I literally died because i went for an interupt and my weapon swapped to tools.

    I legitimately have PTSD from those statues, lol! 😂 To be fair, it hasn’t happened to me in the past week, so I suspect it may have been patched recently, which would be amazing. But man, it made me die way too many times in the miasma mines!

    Great review. I'm like you, I don't really care about relationship in farming/cozy sim games. I really enjoyed it too. I thought I would be put off by the style, but it becomes so cozy. The animals and the combat and mines are fun. I like the little challenges. I wish the days were a tad longer - but it' is very addiciting.

    Same on the length of the days, I wish we had an option to decide how fast time passes like in Wylde Flowers or My Time at Sandrock! That needs to become standard in farming/life sims IMO.

    For me Fae Farm was like a delicous looking cake that was tragiclly under cooked: The icing looks delightful, the flavours sound awesome, and it's decorated divinely. The problem comes when you really bite into the game and realise it's core leaves a lot to be desired.

    I'm reading this comment while I'm baking my dad's birthday cake, very apt comparison! The game is still good, but I feel that fixing the issues I mentioned would have really propelled it into 'great' territory for me (alongside the likes of Fantasy Life on 3DS). It is still very enjoyable, though, and I'm actually excited for the upcoming DLC. :)

    @@girlontheclouds2936 best examples I can think of are the NPC's and the dungeons. I just could not care about the townspeople. Their dialogue barely changed and would reference the same thing you did awhile ago over and over. The dungeons started out fun but by the time I got to the third one it was so monotonous I gave up. It's definitely a pretty game and there are some good ideas but it feels hollow after a few hours in. That's just my experience though. For example, I'm not super into decorating and that is something there was a lot of opportunity for in this game.

I tried the switch trial version recently & it was very much fun. I can totally see myself playing more of it.

    Thank you! :) I personally loved the game, but it does have its flaws, and I wanted to make a review that showcases both the positive and negatives so people know what to expect. I'm very happy that came across! I also feel that receiving a game key from the publisher should never influence a creator's opinion (and if the publisher is sponsoring the video, then it needs to be flagged as what it is - a paid ad), so I want to do my best to be objective with my reviews!

    Makes sense! I guess sometimes is depends on where the creator is from to be fair - in the UK and most of the EU you legally have to disclose if you received the product for free since it can be classed as an ad, but I think the US doesn’t have to do any of this…

    I'm so surprised you are seeing no glitches on Switch. Here is what I'm seeing as of December 2nd: 1. Every few steps the game stutters a bit - frame drops 2. Some times fruit trees just lose all textures and look brownish - self corrects after a few days 3. Game crash - 'encountered an error and had to close' - twice 4. Quest givers retain gold question mark even after quest turned in and having no additional quests - happened with Cleo on job quest final completion. -- Resource leak?? Happens more when I just suspend rather than save and shut down game...

    Oh no! I’m so sorry you’re having so much trouble - I honestly have not encountered a single glitch outside of the bunnies getting underfoot (though I kinda consider that a feature rather than a bug 😂). Can I ask you if you have a digital or physical copy? I have seen similar issues before (in Ooblets, I think?) and they were due to an issue with a the game file that got corrupted during download. Backing up the save data to the cloud and reinstalling the game fixed it for me!

    Says no bugs, as the bunny wanders away from lure into crops while she's watering. I guess it's not a bug then, but it's really annoying that's for sure. I've had all the bugs... Despite starting this month. My chickens float or fly across the screen, my quest rewards vanish, my barn stops producing for no reason, my lure never works.... The list goes on. And my progress is trapped behind completing the floating dungeon and I despise that mine

    If you don't enjoy the mine, stock up on the invisible potion and just run through each floor till you get to 25. The enemies will leave you alone so you just need to find the orbs or make the seals to get to the end

    To be honest, I consider the wandering bunnies dodgy AI rather than a bug! 😂 They mostly stay around the lure, and I spend so little time on the farm that I guess I don’t really notice when they stray. But I have not experienced a single glitch/bug/ crash in my entire time playing the game on either platform outside of some slight stuttering that was fixed with the very first patch, so I promise, my review is accurate to my experience with the game. It’s a pity you don’t enjoy the floating ruins! I actually had a lot of fun in that mine (even though the moving statues gave me PTSD😆)!
