Don't be fooled by my playtime. I realize I only have a few hours here on steam, but I have multiple on my switch which is where I originally bought this game. Despite the common belief that loading and switch gameplay is bad, that isn't why I bought Mineko's Night Market on Steam. I actually don't have a problem with my switch gameplay at all and that's where I originally fell in love with this game. Actually, I bought it here because I do just REALLY enjoy the game itself. I realize it can get repetitive after you beat it, but for my ADHD riddled brain sometimes that repetitiveness is great. The game is cozy, relaxing, enjoyable and overall has amazing art and aesthetics. I know some people complain about the loading times and bugs, but I haven't had issues with bugs and the loading times hardly seem that bad to me (maybe because I'm used to the switch? I don't know.) It's a good game though and it's been one of my favorites since I got it, honestly. If you like cozy games, this is def a must have imo.

this is such a cute game! it has adorable graphics, charming characters and fun dialogue, but just know that it's a very "errandy" kind of game so it might not suit your tastes if you're not into that kind of thing! me personally i like carrying out tasks so it's enjoyable for me. the game does glitch occasionally but it's not unbearable, and also the story moves quite slowly as you're basically just doing the same menial tasks each week. one thing that really irks me is the fishing mechanic T_T it's incredibly uninspired and tedious and really just takes me out of the game, i wish it was more interactive. other than that i rly liked it :) 8/10

After finishing the main story, this game is absolutely precious and wholesome. However, there are a BUNCH of glitches, one of which was nearly game breaking for me (don't ever change your resolution). Others required me to start entire days over (don't get caught on the snowy mountain 3 times, don't click through the fishing booth dialogue to fast). Then there were others that effected absolutely nothing, but were still present (that one bush that doesn't adjust with the seasons, outfit changing back after every night market). This sometimes made the game feel annoying, not worth it, and repetitive. However, when it was functioning as it should, the game was amazing. Just be super wary of glitches and bugs. I don't see the devs ever fixing these, but I do hope they will.

Overall, I like the game. The artstyle is amazing, the crafting is fun, mini-games make it more engaging, and you can pet cats! It's a grindy game, but I like picking up every flower and furball I see, and that sort of gameplay is relaxing to me because I feel accomplishment. It can be repetitive, but if you look forward to the goal enough, it's not so bad. I think what falls flat is the dialogue. I'm expecting a village with rich history and welcoming to the main character Mineko because she just moved in, and everything is so different for her, but what you end up getting for most of the dialogue is crafting requests from each of the villagers until you give them what they requested and then new dialogue that asks for something else. The requesting stuff only changes once you give them everything they ask for and the only thing they can say is the same thing when you interact with them. The game jokes about her being the errand girl, but I wish the relationships she's apparently building in cut-scenes is actually seen in gameplay too. The game's night time market of bustle and buzz is so juxtaposed with empty dialogue. There was potential of having something more heartfelt if there was better direction for the NPC idle dialogue like side story options with some villagers with special mini games for them since they all have their own quirks and interests. That would have been cool and I would have felt more involved as new girl Mineko. It's disappointing because there's clearly a great team of dialogue writers, but they weren't instructed past doing a few cutscenes and fetching requests. Nonetheless, I still enjoy the game for what it has. Its atmosphere with changing seasons, the growing of the Night Market, the personality of the characters, and the art direction. Despite the criticism I give it on its lack of dialogue making the game feel a bit vapid, there is still a unique atmosphere to Mineko's Night Market that I haven't seen yet. You still look forward to the night market and that feeling of "Oh man, what new thing will I see and get to collect next be?!" is still what gets to me the same way a real night market would have. Or and instance of "what will the next new season bring?", "What new person(s) will I get to meet at the new location?", etc. It's worth a buy when on sale if you are into the art style, mystical-ness, crafting, and collecting! It would be a disservice to not appreciate the team's hard work on those details too. But if you're like me, and also wanted something to fill you with the warmth of villagers' stories and small town homeness with those mechanics, this game might not fully check those marks.
