Not the game for me when I realized how tough it was going to be to keep everyone alive -- I'm way too much of a crybaby to know that I could accidentally kill one of the villagers, haha. Just seemed overwhelming and too tough, so I ended up refunding. Could be a great game for someone with more patience! I'd love to know how the story ends, because that seemed super interesting. :3 wish I could play, I just get way too stressed out!!!

NOTICE: Before I go and say ANYTHING about this game, I want people reading my review to wonder if this is the game for them to know one big thing BEFORE I continue: If you want Story of Seasons Cozy then please move along. This game *IS* Cozy, but not that type of "Cozy." Now, to those wondering what kind of "cozy' then is this game: This game is cozy in that you can sit back and enjoy the vibes and story without fearing anything coming in to jar you out of it. You can grab your favorite snack, drink and enjoy an afternoon of playing the game and lose yourself in the story and vibes without feeling like you are needing to break out spreadsheets and optimization notes ((Well... On anything but the hardest difficulty and if you picked that then this is your own fault. Even on the moderate difficulty where you are pressed you still can easily break even without resorting to min-maxing everything)) To those who wish to continue: This is Story of Souls-like. -------------------------------- The game does a maginificent job of breaking out of the "oversaturated 'cozy farming sim' that has clogged the gene by basically going "Welcome to the island, here is your farm, we're in the middle of a rabies epidemic. Please don't let us starve." The game has a few bugs but fortunately the devs are responsive and even if they don't have a quick fix they add it to the notes to be fixed. Beta has also been up and moving for some time with extras that I am excited to see in the full game in the future. I especially like the fact that the game not only 'implies' but actively shows that those in professions like fishing and herb gathering are active participants instead of going "oh I'm a fisher but you're the only one who does anything' as well as the mechanics with food types to ensure others don't starve because you are a farmer and yet there are carnivores so they don't eat veggies and fruits. All in all, currently for EA in this version I love it and I can't wait until they put out Year 2.

Grimmshire is a rare example of putting a new spin on a genre and executing it well. Many of the core farming sim staples are here: inheriting a derelict plot of land, Village npcs to build relationships with, mining, etc. Where the game hooks you is the premise. You are the only farmer in a village that is running out of food. Everything you grow, all the fish you catch, all the animals you raise are to keep the village fed as everything else falls apart. The story and gameplay build off this core concept beautifully. Crafting recipes and upgrades are focused around preserving the food you produce to make sure in lasts through tough times. Your neighbors are supportive but also scared and on-edge. Everyone tries to pitch in for survival, but they are not sure it's enough, and if you aren't careful it won't be. NPCs can die if certain conditions aren't met, and the town will feel the loss. The writing in this game is well-done. The story builds gradually and creates a looming sense of dread while still allowing for levity in day-to-day activities. The villagers are generally likable and there is a sense of community that feels natural. The game makes you want to save the people you're tasked with saving, which is why it works.

Just wanna say thanks to the devs and doggy I've tried countless sim survival crafting/farming games. I mean COUNTLESS. I have hundreds of hours in Stardew Valley and I don't touch the game anymore because I'm so sick of it. I've played Echoes of the Plum Grove. Roots of Pacha, Fields of Mistria, Wylde Flowers, Dinkum, Abiotic Factor, SoS games, Coral Island, Luma Island, Palia, Tales of the Shire, Palworld, My Time games, Lightyear Frontier, all the known zombie crafting games like 7DtD, Zomboid, etc. Once a new game of the genre releases I immediately jump into it but my survival farming itch was never properly scratched. There was permadeath in Plum Grove for the NPCs too but we don't really get attached to the NPCs as much and there wasn't really a sense of community. One day a patient zero pox dude just walks around and infects everyone in town and suddenly everyone is dropping like flies and we have 15 funeral days in a row. In Grimshire the consequences feel a lot more impactful and meaningful. The story makes sense. I feel important and my plans are important. I've always been a min-maxer in survival games, and been known to be a resourceful gamer and a meticulous hoarder. Grimshire solves my hoarding problem with a mechanic that also has me in a chokehold. I love the feeling of suffocating from my own consequences and the pride of being able to feed my pack with tons to spare. My first time playing had me sitting down for almost 13 hours and I'm in summer now. I heard that we can only play the first year of the game and I don't want this game to end but alas it's still in EA. I am in deep anguish. I want to play this game more than GTA6. PLEASE. I'LL DO ANYTHING. Please let me play more than a year!! sobs hideously running off into the sunset

This game was an impulse buy for me, fyi. I just completed Year 1… Oh my god? This is EARLY ACCESS?? I consider myself a farm sim veteran, but I’m not a “cozy” gamer by any stretch. I LIKE challenging time & resource management. I LIKE working against difficult odds with tangible consequences. So knowing that the (extremely cute) townsfolk of Grimshire can PERMANENTLY DIE if you don’t make the most of every single minute of every single in-game day… those are some high stakes. I just had to give this a try. 50+ hours later, I barely scraped by some of the seasonal deadlines full-body sweating and gripping my steam deck an inch from my nose. Finally making it through the first year with everyone still alive was some Dark Souls levels of euphoria. Grimshire is quite literally a dream game for me, both thematically and gameplay-wise. And it FEELS polished and fully-featured as-is, despite only having just released into Early Access. TL;DR I’m telling everyone I know to play this because not only do I want these devs to be rewarded for their hard work, I simply need more games like Grimshire to exist. Also the music slaps. 11/10
