A very unique style of game that I think is very charming -- although a bit daunting to get into. I've enjoyed this game, granted I still haven't gotten everything done in it. It is reminiscent of some other life simulation games such as farming games like Story of Seasons and Stardew Valley , though it has a different take on the groundwork those familiar titles have laid. It also is weirdly reminiscent of Oregon Trail to me, in that it has a survival, historic aspect to it. I enjoy that and it's probably my favorite thing about the game. The graphics and art direction remind me a bit of Paper Mario, which I find to be very unique and charming. It's definitely an art style that will stick with you as there isn't that many games like it. My one issue with this game is that in my opinion it is very hard to get into. I think that will put many, if not maybe even the majority, of people off the game at first. It's slow to progress and that is both I think a strength and a weakness. Strength, as it makes you slow down and appreciate the game. Weakness because in my opinion the slowness lends itself well to becoming stale a bit. Give it a try. I've really enjoyed it, and I think I will continue to as I progress.

The NPC I wanted to marry got engaged on the day I was going to propose going steady, so I bought a death cake and gave it to his spouse on their wedding day. Now we're married and expecting our first child. 10/10 game

This is a great game, but one suggestion; I think when you propose and you are accepted, you should have the option to either change your last name to your husband/wives' last name or make them change their last name of your own character.

As a diehard Stardew fan, I can say this game is the only real successor to that crown. Instead of trying to copy it, the devs came up with their own new take on the genre, which is what made Stardew so fantastic. It was an original in a world of first-person shooters. Plum Grove is an entirely new take on the cozy concept. And its customizability really does help you play exactly the level of challenge you enjoy. I've got almost twelve thousand hours in Stardew, and about a thousand hours in Plum Grove, and although PG definitely does have replayability it does not yet have the potential for almost endless challenges that Stardew has. At least... not YET. The devs are still actively working on the game and fleshing out new characters and new areas, with promises of continued advancements for the foreseeable future. I'm super excited to see how the game evolves. Meanwhile I wholeheartedly recommend getting involved with the game and its Discord community, who are incredibly active, imaginative, and welcoming!

I've enjoyed this game greatly, I dove into it while I had COVID and it was a good distraction. I've tired of most farming sims due to the repetitive nature of them and how they all feel like Stardewvalley wanna-be's. Many aspects of this game set it apart from the crowd. Not to say its with out its flaws, but we'll get to that. The game isn't spared from repetitive parts, but no game is. What sets it apart: Disease: I enjoy the emanate threat of the entire village being wiped out by one tourist ship. Maybe I'm a masochist, but it certainty adds a level of realism and spice to the game that other farm sims are lacking. I especially appreciate that there are ways to deal with the sickness (to a degree) so that its never a death sentence, just a challenge. (Unless you're in year one and haven't raised enough money to get inoculated for small pocks and a spotty little miscreant waddles off of the ship and infects your town, but hey soo la voo or what ever the French say.) Courting: I like that finding a spouse isn't just "throw gifts at them and have babies". Once you establish that you're courting someone, they ask you to reach X friendship level with the villager they're closest with (usually a family member) and I feel like that's pretty realistic. Bartering: I really really like the fact that you can trade goods for goods. Given the time period its incredibly appropriate. I know a lot of people complain that shops don't have a reliable set of goods every singe day, but I feel that too is realistic. In the real life 1700's supply would depend directly on available trade, seasonality, and availability. It also makes you have to plan in advance, and I enjoy that too. Fishing: I really appreciate the fact that you can turn the fishing mini game off. A lot. Mining: Mining in this game isn't how it is in a lot of others in the genera. There is no combat, (at all in this game, the closest you get is combating germs. Lol.) no spending all day in the mines. Just a couple of veins that you can mine daily that supply you with enough to get by, and nothing more. Farming: Though it is annoying to a degree, I appreciate that there isn't any automation for watering your crops. The 1700's (to my knowledge, I'm no scholar) didn't have sprinklers. Irrigation trenches, maybe, but the realistic nature of having to walk around with a watering can and watering each crop is nice. Arduous. But realistic. I also like the fact that you aren't running a farming operation. You aren't planting your entire plot of land and trying to run off a super market chain or what have you. You're just a simple person trying to provide for their family and make a little cash. Compost: I know a lot of people have complained about the fact that your food rots, but I enjoy realism (pretty obviously at this point in the review) and while I did appreciate being able to store and stash everything for ever to my hearts content in Stardew, having to deal with and plan for rot in this game has been fine to me. It adds a layer of urgency to tasks, and is fixable later in the game. Additionally the fact that you can turn it into compost and fertilize your crops with it is ace in my book. I would like if later in the game something was implemented to where you could add manure from your animals, but I also understand how that would absolutely not be attractive to a lot of other people. The Plumb Grove: With out spoiling too much for those that haven't played the game, I like the magic/ghost part of the game a lot. It gives you a set goal to work towards as quickly or slowly as you desire. And the witches and their sheep/goats are just fun. Children: I appreciate that your children grow. Legacy is an entire aspect on its own of the game, but other games where you have kids and they just stay the same for ever the end has always bothered me. I like that their personalities depend on your nurturing and interaction. It makes me a little sad for all of the grumpy villagers. But I like it. Things that I feel could be improved: Quests: I would absolutely love it if I could submit quests to the board and have people bring me stuff I'm looking for how you do for everyone else in the town. Additionally, I feel like you should be able to mail just about anything to other villagers. If you can get gifts in the mail and items from the blacksmith after they're repaired, I feel like there should be some kind of post system or maybe somewhere in the court house you can drop off quest items and then your reward could be sent to you the next day or picked up at where ever the depot is. Item Descriptions: One challenge in the game that I don't appreciate, is trying to figure out how all of the different items work. I'm not sure if I'm just not observant enough, or have over looked it, but a guide or short description in the crafting menu would be helpful. Housemates: I'm sure (or at least I greatly hope) that there is a plan in the future for the NPC's in your house to do more than just stand on the stairs in the way. Same for pets. There are items to place in your house that I feel should be interactive for them, toys for kids, pet beds for pets, bookshelves, etc. And I'm sure its just a matter of time for them to program it, but I look forwards to the change. Legacy System: Getting married and having kids is such an integral and important part of the game, that I hope there is a plan to be able to hand the farm over to your kids prior to your death. Having to wait for your character to die to make sure that the heir marries and has kids feels like a huge waste of very valuable time. Heir Relationships: Given that your children live in the town for their whole life before you use them as your playable character, I would hope for established relationships in the future. Having no friends or enemies until you take over is a little bland, and just unrealistic. I have a lot more I could say about both categories, but this review is already way too long. Over all (tldr) its a very enjoyable game with realistic elements, but its very clear that its an indie game, and as a result there's a few things that could use some work. I have faith that improvements will come in the future, its just a mater of being patient with the devs.
