I'm on day 5. I love it so much! I play every evening after my son and I have dinner. I love how it will rain off and on in the evening. There is such a cozy and peaceful vibe from it. Even my son started a save file 💛🎮
This game is lovely. I just wish people would do a bit of research (or at least read the store page) before getting it, because there was a rain of negative reviews on Steam from people complaining about the real time mechanic. It is like buying a shooter and complaining it has guns.
For real. Especially since I can't speak for everyone - but for me the real time aspect is honestly one of the first things that drew me to wanting to try it. I remember as a kid playing the Pokemon games with their real time elements, and somehow it made the games feel just that little bit more like real persistent worlds of their own. I wish more games would be in real time like this!
Love this game! Just want to let you know though that you can harvest the rocks and bushes without color. It’s just the trees and flowers that need the color to harvest. And if you get a message saying you can’t harvest the rock or bush yet, you just need a higher level tool.
I am in love with this video! I am prepping for a similar review because I feel this one needs so much love and much more attention. Thank you for sharing you are so right with all the points you mentioned 💕
Thanks, I'm getting it before the steam sale ends towards the end of the month (cheapest option atm) all because of you! I also got Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town: Premium Edition the day after release because of you, love your content, nice to see someone has happy videos out there and truly enjoys making content.
I've been playing for about a week, but must admit I've played with my PC dates to progress faster. I don't see any issues with doing it this way, for those people who like a faster pace of progression. I never got into Animal Crossing though I tried because of the slow pace. This is a good alternative!
Glad to see it's working well for you! The developers have explicitly written on their website that going backward could corrupt file, so I'm just using their words as a precaution!
I'll be honest, I think it's a nice game but the "amount of stuff to do per day limit" spoils the game for me. I've dumped it for Deiland which I find much more interesting and engaging.
I like the art style of this game, but I'm on the fence about actually playing it. I tried ACNL on 3DS and honestly felt like after a month or so, I was just turning it on to see what my villagers were up to, doing cleanup/care of the town, and checking turnip prices. I might get this if it goes on a deep sale, but it's likely this wouldn't be a game for me. :) I'm hoping we start seeing/hearing new stuff about Rune Factory 5 soon!
I adore it, tho I find the tent updates a bit expensive as the updates are barely noticeable, and yesterday I got a request I had no way to complete, I don't that's a big deal tho that made me lose a log that day, but other than that I really like it and it's not expensive at all.
Yes I was surprised it took like 3-4 upgrades before getting an actual tent. 😅 I can assume it's going to take a little while before we reach the final upgrade. There are also quite a few requests that can't be completed in one day, I think that's intentional!
It is intentional for some quests to take more than one day. On the Switch loading screen several messages play. One message is about being patient on quests. 😉
This is gonna sound weird, but can you time travel like Animal Crossing??... cause i heard people complaining that it takes too long to wait and do new tasks
It’s the same developer as Road Not Taken and Triple Town, which share this style, music, and sound effects. I see the similarity but I instantly thought of Road Not Taken when I saw the bears :)
I cheated 😂by changing the time that was easy for me 😅, because by the time i finish work/then dinner/ then do housework by then already dark 😱🤪 when it dark sometimes mission has to find the items like the leaf 🍃 😅
Lol glad you said if we like time traveling you wouldn’t suggest it because my ADHD makes me so impatient. I TT’d so much in New Horizons 😂 So sounds like this game is not for me I don’t have the patience
The game looks great, but the fact that you can spent a limited time on this game per day means it is not for me. I love chill games but 30 to 40min is really short.
I'm on day 5. I love it so much! I play every evening after my son and I have dinner. I love how it will rain off and on in the evening. There is such a cozy and peaceful vibe from it. Even my son started a save file 💛🎮
Glad you're enjoying it! I do also love the intermittent rain, it's so relaxing!
This game is lovely. I just wish people would do a bit of research (or at least read the store page) before getting it, because there was a rain of negative reviews on Steam from people complaining about the real time mechanic. It is like buying a shooter and complaining it has guns.
Totally agree! It's a central part of the game, it's a shame that people would review the game badly because of that. 😢

I absolutely love Cozy Grove. I love the way your character kind of sways in the wind while standing still. Little things like that make me so happy 💕
Yes the characters animations are so cute! I love to just stop for a minute and look at my character. 😆

Thanks for pointing this out! :D

Good luck with your review! I definitely feel like this game deserves more attention!
I just got this game a few hours ago. I’m so happy to come across you playing it ! Love how you explain things. Thank you !!
Yay! Hope you enjoy your time on Cozy Grove!
This seems really cool for a simple game. The slow pace is perfect for me.
I love this review. Straight to the point, wonderfully described, and no spoilers.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! 😊
I started yesterday and I'm in love already, it just is so beautiful and I love the music < 3 can't wait to play every single day

Aww thank you so much! I hope you'll enjoy Cozy Grove! 😊
@@JoshGamingGarden Thank you for taking the time to comment, most people don't.
I just got this game recommended by a colleague and I'm so hyped about it! It looks and sounds just so chill. I'm gonna try it soon 😁
I've been playing for about a week, but must admit I've played with my PC dates to progress faster. I don't see any issues with doing it this way, for those people who like a faster pace of progression. I never got into Animal Crossing though I tried because of the slow pace.

you can change the date on switch to time travel in animal crossing for faster progression 😊
I Time travel in this game and checked to see if it would corrupt my save by going backwards. It does not and the quests I have are still ongoing.
Glad to see it's working well for you! The developers have explicitly written on their website that going backward could corrupt file, so I'm just using their words as a precaution!
the bird hopping walk is very cute
I'll be honest, I think it's a nice game but the "amount of stuff to do per day limit" spoils the game for me. I've dumped it for Deiland which I find much more interesting and engaging.
The art design itself is chill :)
5:10 nitpick but i think colorless ores are mineable
I loved it ✨ thank youuu!

Have you played the DLC and if so, what do you think?
Game is addicting im on day 18..this game was slept on ,deserves way more than it deserves

@@JoshGamingGarden It probably is! Can't wait to see what more the game has to offer or what kind of upgrades they will give it in the future. ^_^

You can!
Really good review. Enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
I'm playing and loving this game!!! at the beginning I didn't like so much, but now I can put it down ^^'
Does anyone find this game kind of boring? I’ve had it for months and it’s not fun at all.
Sorry if this is obvious, but how do you donate multiple objects at once?
I'm playing on PC but I just click on multiple items then "donate all" 😅 Not sure if it works the same for consoles!
Is this made by the same developers as 'Don't Starve' (also on steam) the style looks incredibly similar
They look similar but the developers are different. 😊
It’s the same developer as Road Not Taken and Triple Town, which share this style, music, and sound effects. I see the similarity but I instantly thought of Road Not Taken when I saw the bears :)
is it online? or single player?

Or just get Apple Arcade and it’s included along with heaps of others?
