I like this game. I think its cute and the art style is fun. Like other reviews this is game is mainly a lot of running back and forth to complete quests and the NPCs pride themselves on being kind and polite but are very rude to your character. I don't mind the back and forth, I just wish the NPCs were a bit nicer and could show more gratitude for having their errand completed

This game is often on sale..... for a reason. Although it is a finished game is is unpolished lacking some small finesses that would make this game amazing. The concept is great with the story, however, like every other review will tell you. It is a fetch quest galore. Go here and then go over here and then go back here. Rinse, lather, and repeat. I wish there was some differences in the quests so that it would help or something more. Would recommend others over this but if you have played the others this is alright. Got all the achievements in the time listed.

Summer in Mara ☼ Koa is a sassy girl who sails headfirst into helping her neighbors! Complete hundreds of quests for the colorful residents of Mara, and discover 20+ small islands as you unlock each square of the map🗺️ Collect, craft, cook, harvest, farming, fishing, commerce, more crafting, more cooking!! The more I played, the more I enjoyed this game. It has heart, and TONS of content, with a wholesome atmosphere, in a vibrant storyrich world. The characters are quirky and lovable. Overall great game! Highly recommend! TIPS > Sell your stone! Inventory stack caps at 99 > Crops will grow without being watered, and grow faster with water 💧 > I suggest you keep materials: Cotton, Coal, Paper, and Ink are needed for quests > Use the hammer to build structures & torches on your home island > Once you build a tool shed on ur island, you'll be able to craft Nails at Workbench > Don't be afraid to BURN trees for coal! Just plant more > But also be weary that if you walk past a tree that you want to keep, while holding a torch because it will BURN and then every tree you just walked past is now on fire! i_i 🔥 > Scuba diving gear is a consumable 🤿 > Menu has the CATALOG which is different than your INVENTORY 😄 > Grow Corn (for Chickens), 🥕 Carrots (for Pigs), and 🌾 Wheat (for Sheep)....why are there so many animals floating in the water?? lol > Shovel only works when prompted at dig sites.. Buy Treasure Maps! & buy Keys! lol > I suggest Sailing out to the open sea before you call Caleb for fast travel service > I fast traveled A LOT. (so many trips to the Black Volcano!) It's convenient when you have money, and I think it's free when you're broke. Worth it! > The running does hurt the hand, but using a usb controller helps! 🎮 > Coconut Trees DO eventually fruit

This is a truly lovely and family-friendly game. It deals (gently) with themes of environmentalism, death/loss/memory, neighbors and community, and more. The gameplay loop never grew tedious to me, although at times figuring out what I needed to do next from cryptic quest log text ("Something interesting will happen soon! - meant I had to sail to a specific map spot, as one example) required me to check a guide online. It is only loosely a farming/lifestyle simulator--more emphasis on finding and delivering certain items in the later parts of the game over the farming elements. So don't come here looking for a Story of the Seasons clone, but don't be driven away by assuming the farming will be cumbersome! The game is beautiful and bright, and the characters have more personality in them than many AAA rpgs. I have a lot more quest content ahead of me and I'm at 13 hours played. I imagine without checking guides too often that I'll get at least 20 hours to complete the story and maybe most of the sidequests, but beyond that there are also collectibles to find. I think Chibig tells great small(er) stories. I'm glad I bought this game and will probably pick up Mika at some point as a result of my positive experience with this one.

A fun little farming sim adventure game. Does feel like most of the focus is on the story and questing element, but you have to do a little farming, mining and foraging to get by. I like Koa a lot as a protag as she kind of grows as a person as you progress the story. There's a ton of quests to do so the game is gonna take a while to get through especially if you do all the quests. There's a few minor things I'm not a big fan of, but those are mostly QOL things like not being able to buy or sell in bulk. It's got most of the modern QOL stuff though. Anyway, I'd say the game is an 8/10 for me.
