The downsides: - This game was originally supposed to release for free and never did. - Lasting bugs w/o fixes. The mailbox crash, the forever red dot in the menu, bugged quests for example. - Microtransactions via premium currency and items. More on this in the upsides. -Limited placed item limits (up to 3k individual types of item/6k total items on PC). This drastically limits decoration ability, but I can understand it to avoid lag in game. The upsides: -Regular introduction of new content. New characters, new realms, new items, new DLC, etc. There is a lot to do. -Time limits aren't really a thing, outside of specific timed events. -Free premium currency all of the time. You'll find it around the valley in chests, you'll get it for entering DreamSnaps. In over 600 hours, I have never felt like I *had* to purchase premium currency. If you enjoyed ACNH, but wished you had more to do, give this one a shot. You have all the crafting, fishing, gardening, decorating of ACNH with the addition of character and story quests. But catch it on sale. Full price in this economy? Nah.

At the moment, I'm going through a phase in my life where I feel pretty sad and lonely, and having Disney characters tell me how happy they are to see me is like a small virtual hug. Maybe that sounds pathetic but I really don't care. This game is lovely. It gives you freedom to focus on whatever you like- and I do recommend focusing on one thing at a time. Otherwise you'll be overwhelmed because there's always more to do. I have over 100 hours and haven't even unlocked all the realms yet. So there is plenty of bang for your buck, if the gameplay suits your tastes. You don't need a big brain or a lot of energy to enjoy this game. Simply sit back, relax, and watch as Donald Duck falls flat on his face for the fiftieth time. Now, let's talk performance: So I originally played this game on Switch and it wasn't a good experience due to constant crashing and general performance issues. However, the steam version has been much better for me. I play mostly on steam deck with settings on medium-ish (can't remember off the top of my head). There are frame drops when it's raining, but mostly it's very smooth. I haven't had any crashes during gameplay but I do sometimes have to manually shut down my deck because the game gets frozen while attempting to close. So, just something to be aware of. It's not a very stable game but I still recommend it.

The short version of this review is that I highly recommend this game for those seeking a relaxing game filled with things to do, especially for those that love Disney characters. However, I wanted to share my personal reasons why I recommend this game. I want to disclose that my review of this game primarily comes from second-hand experience. While I have played some of the game myself, it was only for several minutes. Additionally, I had purchased this as a gift for my mom back in 2022 as a Christmas gift for her Nintendo Switch. I'm writing this review for her because she absolutely loved this game. She was a very casual gamer that enjoyed easygoing games like Animal Crossing and had ventured out to action and adventure games like Skyrim and Assassin’s Creed. She liked those games, sure, but she had gotten stressed and/or frustrated from the gameplay and nature of some of the more intense games. My mom suffered from several health conditions, and I felt that it might be a good idea for her to change pace a little bit. So, like I mentioned, I got her this game for Christmas. I had very little knowledge of this game, but it looked and sounded like a nice Animal Crossing type of game with Disney characters. She played this game almost every day when she had the chance. Sure, sometimes she’d play other games for a bit, but she’d always come back to this one. It didn’t matter if she had good days or bad days in health or life, but she found a wonderful escape in Dreamlight Valley. It was an easygoing game with so much to do and many characters to meet. She would show me the characters she found and the town she’d built. I’d hear about her adventures and the goals she’d set out to do. She told me how the game made her feel relaxed like none other has before. I can confidently say that this game was the best gaming purchase I’d ever made for my mom. It’s been exactly one year since my mom passed away. I have since seen the screenshots in her Switch showing me of her experiences in the game. It’s a sweet feeling like no other to see how this game practically transported her to another world where she could be happy and at peace during the last year of her life. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the developers for this game and for the joy it gave my mom.

Dreamlight Valley is a game that has marketed itself on nostalgia, but in one of the better ways I've seen. I recommend this game with an asterisk, which I'll get in to. I love this game. I originally got it on the Switch, which, that was a mistake. The performance on the Switch was not good, but I tolerated it for a while. Eventually, I bought the PC version. It runs better than the Switch version, but there are still some stutterings that I deal with. There is the occasional bug that makes me have to restart the game. They're not frequent, but they are there. On top of that, there is the elephant in the room: the microtransactions/premium shop/moonstone currency. I wouldn't call it predatory. It's there, and you can play this game without spending a cent, but it's still there, waiting to shove something in your face that you may or may not want. It's very frustrating that objects are locked behind a paywall. It's optional, sure, but you are made aware of the shop with a little red dot over the shop icon in the pause menu. For some, it's nothing, for others, it nags at you to click it to make it go away. So with that being said, why do I love this game? Two reasons: wish fulfillment and it captures the very spirit of Disney from its renaissance days. It's magical, and part of that stems from the nostalgia that this game markets itself on. This is a game that is for older Disney fans who yearn for the old days of Mickey Mouse being who you saw associated with Disney. What's more though, is that this is also a game for new generations to learn of older Disney movies. It's a game for all ages, which I think is noteworthy because not many games that try to market on nostalgia in this way do it well. One of the reasons some of the older Disney movies did so well is because it was entertaining for both the kids AND the adults who brought their kids to the movies. This game fulfills an old wish I had when I was a kid--being able to interact with Disney characters. I love being able to chat with Mickey or going fishing with Goofy. I love that each character has their own little arc that you help them with. To my extreme surprise in some cases, they even managed to add some redeeming qualities to the villains through these arcs in a way that felt natural (to me at least.) So how is the story? You play as an adult who falls asleep, only to awaken in a valley covered in thorns and an event called The Forgetting. As you progress through the story, you learn about Dreamlight Valley and what made it so special before. The story itself is nothing groundbreaking. It's likely not going to win any awards. However, I personally found the story to have some emotional depth that had me reflecting on things on myself. In a way, I found it rather beautiful. By all intents and purposes, the story is quite simple, and I like that. Gameplay? This is straight up a game that took heavy inspiration from Animal Crossing. You have neighborhoods to decorate, clothes to collect and wear, recipes to find and learn, neighbors to chat with, gardening, fishing, digging, and foraging. Again, there's nothing really groundbreaking, but that's still alright. The expansions add a couple more things you can do, but by and large, this is an Animal Crossing game. How are the devs? The devs are quite receptive and willing to add in requested features and quality of life changes. They have been adding content at a pretty consistent pace, with most of the characters being added to the game for free. All in all, I think they've been pretty great. Overall, I consider this a flawed gem of a game. It's a great game, and I love it, but it does have its issues in the performance department. Less so on PC, but there are still issues there too that I could do without. I hesitate slightly to recommend it at full price, but I would absolutely recommend it on sale. My only chief concern with the game right now is that Star Wars or Marvel could make its way into the game. Recently, they added a number of Star Wars themed items to the cash shop. I don't mean to come across as a gatekeeper, but one of the things that got me interested in this game to begin with is that there was nothing from those franchises in the game. Nowadays, Disney has leaned so heavily into Marvel and Star Wars that it feels like they've characters like Mickey and friends to rot in obscurity. It doesn't really feel like that I'll see any Marvel or Star Wars characters any time soon, and I had no reason at all to think they would, but with those Star Wars items, the concern is there.

Been playing this game for a while now on Game Pass, and recently bought it on Steam when I found out, and verified, that the cloud save for the game not only extended cross-platform, but cross-game stores as well. Now playing my Game Pass save on Steam - primarily so that I could play it on my Steam Deck - which it plays absolutely flawlessly on, BTW. Honestly, I'm an old guy. Not really into cartoons or Disney movies any more, but the game characters really are fleshed out to be interactive with the best. To the point where I guiltily and under the cover of darkness subscribed to the Disney channel to see how their stories played out. The game is also both an OCD'er nightmare and wet dream all wrapped up in one package. It's game grinder heaven or Hades. But it serves the purpose it's intended for that rewards the time spent, being creating more storage, massive amounts of themed furniture, events such as festivals, ect. So IMO, it's the best use of grinding for personal world building rewards and satisfaction that I've ever played, and I've been playing since Pong. It has a cash shop, and paid events that can get very pricey for those who can't maintain control of themselves, so OCD'ers beware on that front. And we're not talking just cosmetics. It's a single player game with multiplayer visitations to other player's world, so I can't really call the cash shop as being "pay to win", but it's definitely "pay to enhance" your gameplay. Still, it's a very robust game with absolute tons of things to do, create, build, furnish, decorate, dress up, in your own personal game world to just let your imagination run completely wild in, and it succeeds in this to "infinity and beyond"...and this old redneck's guilty pleasure.
