The perfect blend of Pokemon and Stardew come together. I also love the artstyle, animation and sounds. The game does a really good job of easing you into all the aspects of it without overwhelming you, and simultaneously there is never a moment to be bored. Truly a lovely game <3

I've really been enjoying the game so far! The models are very cute and the story, progression and gameplay are plenty immersive. I'm playing with my partner so we're uncovering both the Jeweller and Archaeology careers simultaneously, and the rewards are really nice so far!

PROS:
- There are careers to progress through, which are quite fun to explore
- There are a lot of NPCs, which helps a lot with immersion
- Inventory seems to be infinite
- There's no curfew, so you don't pass out and lose progress/items in the middle of the night
- The map is huge, but divided into smaller "sub" maps, which leaves room for a lot of exploration and a lot of loot
- The Lumas are ADORABLE and I love that they help you uncover treasure
- The puzzles are very fun and engaging

CONS:
- The lack of a minimap (as well as icon/label indications for NPCs and other points of interest on the main map)
- The inability to pan through required items for building something so that I can see the name of what's required
- A way to get out of a cave that I've been exploring a lot (like a teleport or a ladder)
- Every time a new day starts, I think that my game is bombing. The screen goes black and you can't do anything for a few seconds
- A total lack of leveling/upskilling
- There doesn't seem to be any point in farming. Crops don't seem to have any purpose (for where I am now, 11 hours in)
- I haven't found any cosmetics for my character
- There is no way to stop grass and other foliage from growing inside my animal enclosures, which is followed by heavy tedium in trying to keep them tidy

All in all, a solid farming sim and I'm having a lot of fun!

This game drew me in from the get-go. It has all the best parts of my favourite farming sims, and more! The customisation is so fun, and the depth of character design for each of the NPCs is such a nice touch. I love how it eases you in to each facet of gameplay instead of overwhelming you in the first few minutes. The diversity of items is amazing, I love the reward system, the skill tree, the progress, everything. I absolutely cannot wait for the full version!

Too buggy to play. I have tried playing this game more times than I can count over the last 10 years, and each time there is a bug that makes it unplayable. Once, my umbrella block didn't work so I couldn't defeat the big tar baby thing. Once, the only weapon I could use was the pepper grinder and I couldn't unequip it. This time, the game keeps locking onto the wrong target, a teapot was invulnerable to any kind of damage even during Hysteria, and my umbrella block didn't work each time so the big tar baby and a teapot defeated me. I've reached the end of my tether.

The game is a dream come true and everything I ever hoped for when imagining an immersive experience in my favourite universe. It's challenging but rewarding, cosy but exciting, the puzzles are great fun and the references to the books and the movies are perfectly subtle. 25 hours in and I'm still having a blast just exploring the castle, bullying goblins and doing side quests. The side quests are a lot of fun and most are interesting, and the main story is very interesting, too.

My only complaints would be that you can't interact with Peeves at all and I would have liked the NPCs to be a little bit more responsive (maybe getting a fright when you come out of Disillusionment or scolding you if you use combative spells close to them) just to take the immersion to a next level. It would have also been nice to get immersed into your specific house a little more. In the books, when getting into Ravenclaw tower, you have to answer a riddle. It would be nice if you have to do that each time (maybe the riddle could update with each major chapter in the plot, and it would save your answer for future use during that chapter). Another nice thing would be house-specific responses when interacting with teachers and other important characters (i.e. a blue option when in Ravenclaw to make some kind of logical observation). These are small details that I feel would have a massive overall impact.

I also really hope that there will be a Quidditch update/DLC in the future!

But definitely a HIGHLY recommended game!

Finally finished the game after restarting my character like 3 times due to unforeseen consequences to some actions haha! It's amazing how every choice has a specific path laid out that follows it, quite incredibly so actually, and the way everything comes together in the end is a marvel. Both DA games I've played so far has had unbelievably immerse plots, amazing character interaction and development, and awesome use of tactics and strategy. I love how the combat is much faster than DA Origins, which made for much more stimulating gameplay. Some quests had little bugs in them but easily circumvented. Currently downloading Inquisition - this is shaping up to be my favourite trilogy yet!

Absolutely adore the game! With a mod to speed up combat a little it's highly tactical and strategic, the story is immersive and it's easy to fall in love with the characters! 100% one of my favourite games yet

There's so much more to this game than I initially thought! I thought it was just gonna be a boring little farm game and couldn't understand the big hype, but there's so much you can do. Between farming, exploring, making friends, crafting, cooking, foraging, mining, chopping, fishing, combat with underground creatures and even joining a guild and working with a wizard, there's an endless supply of entertainment, and I'm not even sure I've explored half of what the game has to offer. Definitely a hard YES from me.

Simply an incredible way to waste your life away x'D
There's nothing quite like pinning those dumbass Grineer to the wall with good ol' Dread, exploding Infested all over the place with Arca Plasmor or spending 3 hours on the perfect colour scheme only to realise that it doesn't go with your melee weapon xDDD
Definitely great fun, but the grind can get to ya after a while (when I say a while, I mean 3 years xD)

Lionhead Studios was just made of love and it broke my heart that they don't exist anymore. I love this game to death, just like all their others! It's got a fun play-style, amazing humour, I love how you can pretty much go on your own mission and find some really exciting things. Not to mention the story is incredibly captivating! (Fable 3 was actually the first one I ever played so it's interesting to see how Theresa fits into it all)
