    Roots of Pacha sounds really good. I've been looking forward to this for years, and based on what you've described it sounds like I won't be disappointed. I'll have to check it out myself when I can.
    Also I like the way you pull together all of the pros and cons of a game at the end of your videos, it's a good reminder of exactly what was what, I appreciate that because I can be really forgetful 😅

    I have played the demo of the game. Some aspects I did enjoy like fishing and exploring but travelling without a mount is time consuming. I 'm glad the villagers contribute to community instead of static NPCs who except you to do all of the work. So far MTAP has most NPC interaction. Not really sure if I can get the game, I have an eye out for Sunhaven which is currently on sales and new update dropped for Cult of the Lamb. Relics of the old faith.

  • @EruElpidus
    @EruElpidus Год назад

    Nice and organised review! For me a good story is one that can create tension through interactions with its worldbuilding, plot and characters. Even if the plot is weak, the characters can make up for it and vice versa. You mentioned that none of the characters really stood out to you but you still enjoyed the story. Is this due to a very good plot? I see that you mainly review farming sim games, so I am not sure if you have played titles like divinity original sin 2, the witcher 3 etc. How does the story of Roots of Pacha compare to that in your opinion?
    Also you mentioned that you had hoped to see more intricate relationships. I also do not generally like the relationships in farming sim games because it mainly revolves around throwing gifts at an NPC until that NPC likes you (like in Stardew Valley)or you pick dialogue options that are clearly demarcated to increase/decrease relationship points. The NPC's personality, character and circumstance does not matter whatsoever. Additionally, what would you like to see if you befriend an NPC? If you had infinite resources, what would you add to the relationship system to make it more engaging? Are there any farming sim games with a more robust and interesting relationship mechanic?

    • @JoshGamingGarden
      @JoshGamingGarden  Год назад +3

      Thanks for the comment! When I say the story is interesting, it's mostly in comparison with other farming games, where the story is often absent or very generic. They're doing something a bit different here but it's definitely not to the level of The Witcher 3.
      With relationships, I like when there is some sort of reward in return. For example, in Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life, you get the strongest tools, as well as music records for befriending villagers. In some games, your spouse and/or children can help you with chores. In Rune Factory, your friends/family can fight alongside you. In older Harvest Moon games, other characters could get married to each other when you befriended them, so the town felt it was evolving. Overall, I think any kind of incentive that actually benefits your gameplay through items or getting help from friends makes things a lot more interesting.

      @EruElpidus Год назад

      @@JoshGamingGarden Thanks for the detailed reply! How does the story compare to Sun Haven? You mentioned that in in Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life, you get the strongest tools. Isn't the player then obligated to befriend NPCs for an increase in power, instead of genuine interest in the NPC's character/personality/circumstance, or can these strongest tools be obtained elsewhere?
