Ok, so this game hooked my for a 100 hours now and i only stopped because there is nothing more to explore (to be honest.. it stopped being interesting about a week ago, but i still kept grinding and tried to unlock the last bits of the game, because i couldn't detach). Pros: - The world is beautifully crafted - There is so much to see, and especially in the beginning it doesn't feel grindy - The mix of combat (fairly easy), farming sim and bussiness sim really catched me - I love the minigames for every job you can do - Story was nice and i wish there was even more, (especially i would like to know, what fairyweather gets out of that deal..) - most game mechanics felt smooth - a lot of unnecssary fluff, that's just "nice to have" Cons: - If you miss something it takes forever to get to this day/season again (no timelaps) - same goes for the fairyweather shop.. if you don't buy stuff, it's gone for years - Inventory and some other management tools need overhaul - the farm management, especially for the house felt awful -> let the people increase their house.. otherwise all the wall decoration doesn't fit ;) Neutral: - Sometimes some storys or areas feel unfinished or cut off - After a while minigames are too repetetive and get annoying (still ok, compared to other games) - sometimes I felt rushed, because stuff happened without explanation - Being reborn has no real story-consequences (wish characters would recoginize you as someones child) - traveling over 3 systems felt kinda unneccesary There are more points, but i think you get the big picture here.. it's a farming sim with a lot more to it and the first game of this genre i played, where you can manage your family and tell them what to do. Even if there is some stuff to improve, I think this game is great and i hope there will be an addon or second part!

This game is what Fable wanted to be but better. ITS NOT A STARDEW VALLEY GAME, I REPEAT, NOT A STARDEW VALLEY. If you want a cozy farming game to play, this is not your game at all. But if you want a fun 2D RPG full of different mechanics (exploring, farming, cooking, dating, marriage, business management, combat monsters, fishing, restore buildings and a lot more) this is your game. I love the fae background and the dark aspect of the game, the fact that the NPCs are mortal it really makes you think your moves and planning in advance and makes the world feel more real. Kynseed its a fantastic game and its really sad that a lot of people critices the game just because they expect a Stardew Valley clone cozy game and cant enjoy a game with a dark twist in the plot.

That's a huge one Just in case - MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING What made me buy Kynseed? As a huge fan of Stardew Valley and the old Harvest Moon titles, I was pretty curios about Kynseed. Especially because of the "Generation-Mechanic". There was always something off about playing many ingame years, having children und buying animals in SV and HM, so I was madly interested in a game that simply continues and is not leaving me at some sort of random state of my current being - with children that never grow up and immortal animals. I think I bought Kynseed during Early Access but never really started a playthrough since like two weeks ago. And let me just say - I couldn't think of anything else but Kynseed, since I started. Keep in mind that the following pros and cons are my personal experience and that you might not feel the same about it. Pros: - This pixelart style is like crack and cocaine to me, the entire gamedesign made me want to rip out my eyes and smudge them onto my screen to appreciate every pixel. - This game is giving you so many options, like fighting in forests, owning multiple shops, customizing your farm & house, friendship, marriage and having children, "Skilltrees", many quests and a lot of lovely places to explore. - This game is kinda creepy, there are like two random encounters, I think, that run shivers down my spine and some scary enemies that completey break the entire cutesie wootsie setting of Kynseed and I like that. - There is no penalty for working through the nights. I hated it, when you fainted at 2am in SV or HM, lost some items or you had to pay for your rescue. In Kynseed you are allowed to stay awake for as long as you want. - MINIGAMES omg I love them. Let's head on with the cons: - The translation is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it feels like Google Translate should be mentioned in the credits. - Animals are kind of useless (farm only, they will offer you different combat bonuses). Dogs and Pigs are pretty useful (digging spots and movement) but idk what cats are up to, chickens feel kinda useless too, 'cause once you increased your friendship with NPCs you can simply collect eggs from their chickens. I also think I never used milk from my cow unless for growing moss. - Quests become repetitive, since there are a lot of them, they spiral a lot around finding missing items, gifting different items, cooking and piggy races. These quests are literally quite easy, in most cases you can finish them immediatly without even looking for lost and wanted items, because you already carry a lot of them with you, especially during the late game. Since these quests are so easy to accomplish, you can kind of spam them once they appear on the towns board and increase your friendship with everyone. - The "late game" is going to be my next point, because it's simply not challenging. Once I started my playthrough and got access to all the different things the game offers you, I felt overwhelmed and thought that this will be a game I can put like hundreds of hours into. But unfortunately it's not. Once you own a few shops your income is increased like crazy. Since then money will never be a problem again and you're free to buy whatever you like. Everything else sadly feels so optional. Like you don't even need to finish your fighting skilltrees to defeat the endboss, it's literally so effortless. - My next point is about the "Generation-Mechanic". Remember when I said I was crazy hyped about playing as one of my children and become stronger and stronger. Well, I never reached this significant part. My planted Kynseed is fully evolved, I reached every limit and skilled my character. But my Character is like 20 or something. I finished the main story during my second ingame year. I've read some reviews and statements on reddit in which other players experienced the same. So I don't think this is some sort of "Me-Problem". I think you only lose some of your lifetime when dying in combat or buying ♥♥♥♥ from Fairwheather. - Fairwheather will be my last and most important point. He scared me so much and once he was talking about losing lifetime whenever you buy somehting, I kind of ditched it. I thought that there might be more ♥♥♥♥ that will make me lose many years of my life, so I didn't want to spent them immediately on random stuff. Random stuff in question, because the offerings Fairweather had seemed to be sooooo useless. Like for example, once you find a Statue of the Goddess you are free to quicktravel to another statue + you can ride pigs and sheep + you will get an item that teleports you to the circle. Which are already a lot of things to travel. He will offer you 3 more ways of quicktraveling, like, my brother in christ, I can already do that. A lot of these items are negatively affected by these conditions. They are most likely not even an upgrade, they are more likely a replacement of something that already exists, which resulted in me losing interest in Fairweather. I know that this might be a "con-wall-of-text" but I have to say, that I still had a lot of fun with Kynseed and I do not regret buying it. Since it's mentioned on their Discord that Kynseed is still in development and will be filled with more content, I highly recommend it. I mean, I also recommend the game in it's current state. It is and was a great experience. If you've already lost your heart to games like Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon, this one will feel like a moon landing straight into your endorphin system <3

This is not a Stardew clone. There's a lot to say, but I'll keep it short with some pros: No inventory management. You carry everything on you with no limits. No Energy or Bedtimes. (childhood is short so doesn't count) Farming is not your job by default. All crafting comes with a special minigame Combat is actually challenging, it's unique and not just a bottonmasher. Weirdly dark themes (in a fun and mildly horrifying way) A lot of the less interesting parts, are the fact that you spend most of your time foraging/exploring and giving random crap to NPCs, who are disposable (they age out) Don't get attached to anyone, you are (by all rights) immortal. "Your progeny will rule this land!" Your character will age and die, so your goal is to find a partner and Wish for a kid to inherit your stats and continue living through them. NPCs are a means to an end. It's actually pretty important to have a ton of 'friends' because you get them to do things for you, mostly building. So don't bother hoarding things early on, or finding the perfect gifts. There are so many NPCs that if a few get pissed at you giving them an apple, there are plenty more who liked it. Time might feel fast to start because each season is only 2 weeks, but you will have PLENTY of time to do everything so there's no real need to rush. Missing an event isn't world ending, because it'll come back around soon enough. Welcome to the dark faery tale world of Kynseed

There are 3 things that made me go for Kynseed, despite not being a huge fan of cozy farming life sim type games: 1. There are no time requirements for getting things done. After a couple (literally 2) mandatory timed events in the game's prologue, you are free to choose exactly what to do when for the remainder of your playthrough. No more Atlus-style calendar to loom over your experience, making you regret choosing one activity over another. 2. Hilarious, reference-filled writing replete with wordplay, innuendo and dad jokes. 3. A unique pixel-art style that really stands out from the Stardew pack. I knew going in that there was some supernatural / fae stuff involved, but I didn't realize we were talking Midsommar / Wicker Man type shiz! No regrets tho, I love things dark, and honestly wouldn't mind if things got even darker than they do here. There are so many things I love about Kynseed, but if I had to put my finger on my single favourite aspect, it's the first time exploring a newly-opened section of the world's expansive map. When a new region would open, I'd saddle up my pig, bring my trusty dog along, and go in for that exhilarating first tour, picking up everything I found and looking for the (often cleverly hidden) mapstones. At this point, with 80+ hours in, I only have a couple more regions left to explore. But there are still tons of other reasons to keep playing. The mini-games are plentiful, and while some work better for me than others (e.g. I adore most cooking, i like fishing, i'm not nuts about crafting lotions), we are truly spoiled for variety. I've seen that Kynseed's combat really rubs some people the wrong way. Being a pretty bad player at anything reflex-based, I prepared going in by taking advantage of the game's generous Accessibility option to reduce enemies' speed, and after a couple sword upgrades I am finding combat to not only be tolerable but truly fun! Honestly, I got lots more I could say about Kynseed, but I'd rather get back to playing it. Byeeeee
