At first, I genuinely hated this game with a passion. That was a couple of years back. In fact, it was the day it released on the Switch first, and then I bought it on PC to see if it'd run better since it ran like crap on the Switch. To no surprise, it ran a lot better. However, I remember disliking literally every single aspect of this game when I finally played it with good performance on the PC. I hated the people, the farming, the combat, the fishing; everything. I was actually going to make an animatic ripping on this game, so I played it again in 2024 to take notes. However... I love it now? Like, I REALLY love it. I didn't even mind the long, overdrawn intro (a bit... just a bit). The farming is great, the overabundance of systems is great because it really makes you get involved with everything that this game has to offer. Like, you can even level up Sleeping. It’s pretty great! I sincerely mean that, though I worry I may be coming across as sarcastic through text. The fishing is relaxing, the fighting, while nothing like the Souls Series, a game series I’m very fond of, is still fantastic! I personally use the long sword, the Zweihander as of writing. I’m f***ing dodging and weaving and bringin’ down the pain on these monsters! I don’t even care if they don’t technically “die”, I’ll slaughter them all. D:< There *is* one aspect I don’t like, and that’s the lack of bachelorettes. While I understand that it probably takes a lot of time, especially for a 3D game, it’s still something that saddens me. I wish there were more available bachelorettes, like Elisje from the café. However, despite that, I love everything about this game. I love the people, the farming, the combat, the fishing; everything! Perhaps I was comparing it too much to Stardew Valley and its own predecessor, Rune Factory 4? Although, I do remember I was in a bad way at the time. My marriage was bad, my life was bad, stressed out more than usual. I remember I did a let's play of this game when it first came out and one of the episodes was basically a cry for help. It was really pitiful. Since I'm in a better place now, a much better place, I can safely say, without a doubt, that I love this freakin' game. I cannot wait to see what they do with the new installment, Guardians of Azuma. I don't give a damn if the game scores a Mixed; I'm going to preorder that s**t the *moment* it is available. Okay, enough typing. I gotta go back to Rigbarth now. It's watering time. Bye bye 😊.

RF5 is a fun game that does not live up to the prior game. I played with a few mods just to reduce flipping between the game and a wiki page for notes. Definitely a game that does not tell much at all and will require research and constant reddit searches to find the information you need. I'd recommend it only if you played RF4 Special first and you enjoyed that game that you wish to then go into RF5.

Rune Factory 5 is like a part-time job where you grind endlessly—but hey, at least there are cute villagers and a cozy farm.

Now that I finally figured out how to fix the 'controller not working' problem I can definitely recommend Rune Factory 5. If you hav eplayed any of the other games in the series you will probably enjoy this one. If you are not familiar it is a farming, rpg, sim where you can also fight and tame monsters. With decent story and rpg elements this game can really be a lot of fun. To fix the controller not working problem try switching the controller input in the game properties (through steam) from developer settings to steam input. The override seems to be required to get controllers to actually work. Do NOT waste your time trying to 'remap' your controller, that is not at all what you need to do despite what the internet says.
