What was your favorite farming game of 2023? Check out the video description for more content on the games featured in this video!
Are u ashamed of being gay?
Roots of Pacha, it's the only game released completely.
My time at sandrock
Story Of Seasons Wonderful Life. The original game had such an impact on my childhood, it will always be #1. Unless a remake of New Beginnings comes out, I'm a shameful Soseki stan. But for real, though, Wonderful Life is very special to me- I wouldn't be who I am without it. Any critique and praise of any other game would be biased, WL will always win.
Sandrock ^^ I play mostly for the characters/relationship content, and Sandrock is sooo goood
I don't comment much, but just wanted to say I admire your passion for the genre of farming and slice of life. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
I agree I’m so happy a youtuber like him exist because i love these types of games and his opinions are the one i trust the most regarding this
@@imannatasha3302exactly!!🤍
Roots of Pacha was actually way better than I expected it to be! It ended up being my favorite this year for cozy games, though to be fair: from this list I only played Palia, A Wonderful Life, Everdream Valley, Fae Farm and Roots of Pacha. I really want to play Sandrock next!
I had a bug in my Everdream game that basically made the game start running at 3 FPS at all times... completely unplayable. The official "fix" suggested by one of the devs on Discord was "Delete your file and start a brand new game". Surprisingly: I didn't feel like playing the same 30 hours of the same quests all over again. Imagine that!
Snacko being more like 20-30 hours would actually be perfect for me, because I find I don't have as much patience for longer cozy games as I used to. Still looking forward to that one. :)
I can't believe how good Sandrock is. That game has raised the bar for the whole genre, in my opinion. It feels (and looks) like a AAA title by a major studio.
is it better than Portia?
@@Antonin1738 Yes! Sandrock is a significant improvement over Portia, if you get it I'm sure you'll love it
@@Redge. Thanks!
This was a really fun video to watch, thanks Josh! I haven’t played most of these games yet so it was cool to get some more info and your opinions on them. I really enjoyed my time with Fae Farm this year, and I’m really looking forward to eventually trying My Time At Sandrock.
thank you for your honest opinion , we really appreciate the time you put into all your content but don't feel bad about your opinion on certain games , it's nice to see a content creator being honest and open and I feel you give games hours of gameplay before even giving reviews so thank you 😊 have a wonderful day . I would have to say Coral Island is my favorite for 2023 but as you said the bugs are bad and the missing content , I quit playing for now until its fixed .
I just love your channel!! You are my go to for everything farming and cozy! And what a year it’s been! I find your voice so relaxing and your passion and excitement for games is unmatched. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year! I’m from Manitoba Canada by the way 🥰
Can't believe it's been almost a year since your last ranking video - I think these are my favorites. Comprehensive, succint, and a great summary of each passing year. I recently went through my backlog to play World's Dawn which I enjoyed, but my favorite game I played this year was probably RF4 special! I finally went back to revisit it after playing it for hours on my 3DS. As always, thank you for your reviews and honest opinions!
I'm also glad to see you rank SoS A Wonderful Life so high! This was a remake of one of my most played and most nostalgic Harvest Moon games, and I still holds up imo! There are a few complaints of course, with my main one being the lack of dialogue. I just hit year four? five? And Nami is still saying the exact same things about how hot it is in the summer, every single day. And since the game doesn't have a ton to do, talking to the villagers is a must.
Great video! So many good games this year. 🎉
I got back into Coral Island and had a lot of fun with it, one of my faves, but doesn’t feel finished. Sun Haven was my favorite for a long time at the start of the year. It has a lot going on but the progression is nice. I agree that it’s hard to get back into after a while, so when I play again I’m starting over. Fae Farm was a nice surprise, I really enjoyed it a lot and have 50-60 hours in it.
Other than those I got back into stardew (again - with mods this time) and looking forward to the update! Loved Palia too but I had to play on the PC and I much prefer steam deck.
Also really enjoyed Roots of Pacha, Cuisineer, Moonstone Island, Travelers rest, Dave the Diver, Winkeltje and Cozy grove ❤ Actually had fun decorating and exploring in Spirit of the Island as well.
Disoppointed in Everdream Valley, Blue Oak Bridge, and Song of the Prairie. They didn’t keep my attention unfortunately. I played the demo of Paleo Pines and decided it was not for me.
For some reason I have not really got into Sandrock yet.
My #1 game this year is still Dreamlight Valley. It’s the game that always feel fresh and fun to go back to. Nothing can beat it at this point. So much fun with all the updates, dream snaps and decorating. I’m loving how the game is developing, feels like there’s still much to come! And the DLC is amazing. I don’t think any other game has kept me playing this much for over a year. I’m so happy with that game. I wish you played it too but totally understand it’s very time consuming. But I know there is a huge community out there for DDV you could reach if you ever do play it. 🤗
Looking forward to next year with all the cozy games and your gaming garden content! 🥳
Wow, excellent video! Fun production quality, from things like being very indecisive on where to put AWL to the fly in entrance of HM64. Sorry I commented before I finished the video and saw that surprise. :-)
As I've said in the past, you are my number one source of farming sim info and took detailed notes on this video. It was a great summary of the year! I generally only wishlist fully released games, though I have several early access titles written on my radar, some brand new as of this video, and I only wishlist games I intend to buy when a good price comes or am really on the fence. I already had Sandrock wishlisted, but I officially decided to wishlist Sprout Valley, Roots of Pacha, and Fae Farm. Give me a good sale developers and I'll buy it! Fae Farm is an on the fence example, but if it goes on a huge sale I'll probably pick it up. And after much deliberation for a couple of months, your words in this video among past ones helped me decide to make a decision and finally remove Winds of Anthos from my wishlist. Let's see if Natsume learns even more from this game, and more importantly, pulls the formula back away from the wisp-based farming and empty open world. A lot of us like organization of our crops and getting to pick the seeds we want.
You are a truly great source of valuable information. Don't feel bad about being critical of games, as I believe you do an excellent job of being unbiased and always making sure to include both pros and cons. If you didn't have such thoughtful and sometimes critical reviews, your information wouldn't be as helpful. Plus, you're considerate enough to apologize for being factful, and it shows where your heart is. You care about these developers but must speak the truth as it is. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing Josh! Cool to see Cornucopia on the list - it's cool watching that game grow. The developer is super active on their discord and livestreams occassionally while working on the game.
Yes, the developer is amazing and shows up whenever I stream the game! I can't wait to see how this game will be when it's all done!
so far I'm playing Sandrock now. I just intantly fall in love with it since having good experience with Portia.
What a great list, thank you, Josh. Farming games I enjoyed this year:
1.Roots of Pacha 2.SoS AW 3. HM WoA.
Harvest Moon 64 is such a classic masterpiece, like you said I wish more games were like HM 64, and had a challenge today farming games are too easy there's no challenge like bad weather, animal death or more meaningful relationship like AW. They only have more tediousness like mines+200 floors, sell this amount.
Coral Island was released incompletely same as SunHaven they didn't even fix controller support.
Thanks for making this video Josh! I definitely felt overwhelmed with the amount of farming games this year, so this definitely helped me narrow down what I'm looking for. Also hello, from a fellow French Canadian!
High quality video, thank you Josh. The way you added content from the game over your voice was chefs kiss. Great perspectives and breakdowns
Amazing tierlist, I agree with a lot of the rankings for the games I've played on here. I hope 2024 farming games will be more unique and different as early this year I started to see a pattern in the genre.
The ones I'm committed most time this year has been Disney Dreamlight Valley, Fae Far, Paleo Pines, and A Wonderful Life
Yeah I also hope 2024 will give us a bit more uniqueness! 😄
Great list and perfect time for the winter steam sale! Treating myself to some cozy farm games after a rough couple months ❤
Discovered your channel recently and I absolutely love your videos, and how in depth your reviews are! It hits all the points Im looking at when deciding to get a game and your recommendations have been really helpful choosing my game to play!
Thank you for the video! It reminded me I haven't finished playing the story through of the story of seasons remake and I should pick it up over the summer. What a great wrap up of the year! Looks like you played a lot you enjoyed this year!
Would you ever consider doing a video talking about all your S-Tier (and maybe the A-Tier) games so far? I'd love to see those games one after another so I could get a better idea about what to play next (PS I'm playing Sandrock right now, I love it!)
thank you for the extensive review!! i watch a lot of review videos before purchasing games, and i always search for yours first because i trust your impressions and opinions so much 😊 so happy to see your community growing-you deserve it!! ❤
Thank you so so much for clarifying which consoles the games run great for, it's so important! 🧡
This was truly so enjoyable to listen to this Sunday morning and it’s so interesting to hear about all these games!
I started making a little list of which of these I’m gonna pick up eventually and I think it’s: Roots of Pacha, Moonstone Island, and harvest moon:winds of anthos! I absolutely loved palia so much this year, as well as fae farm and coral island! Sprout valley too has been a welcome cozy game to play in between games. Thanks Josh!💜
Cornucopia - The NPK system in cornucopia defines the size/quality of the harvest.
Example: planting a tomato in a plot not meeting the NPK requirement will yield small tomato, but if the requirements are met, you can get the regular size tomato or a chance large tomato which you can sell for more.
you can improve the NPK system by adding fertilizer which is very easy to make too.
Song of Prairie - In regards to what you said about it not having a unique feature, I think being able to hire people to farm, mine and fish for you is kinda unique and you can also give them equipments to improve the efficiency of their farming.
second unique feature is that you can get baby animals in the wild instead of buying. there is also hidden quest that can grant you special animals for free too, like the golden boar.
I haven't played a lot of these games, but your input and opinions really helped, so I can now see some that might interest me. Awesome video!
Thank you for judging SOS:AWL as a remake :) One of my pet peeves from the steam reviews was people judging it against 2023 farming games when it was actually the predecessor for what could be now. I haven't played all of the games on the list, but I'm really glad to see that MTAS and Coral island were placed highly. I know there are a lot of issues of CI being pushed to release when it isn't ready but that's not the fault of the developers and I know there are issues like plenty of bugs across consoles, but I do truly believe the game has so much to offer that it deserves to be on top. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like at it's peak full release could overtake SDV (crazy, I know). But it just introduces so many new and important things to the farming genre that I really appreciate and love to see.
I have Sun Haven and I think your Assessment of it is correct. I put so many Hours into my Sun Haven Farm that it's Huge and I have several Coops and Barns full of animals and I just unlocked the Elven Farm and I'm finding it a little Overwhelming to have to Manage Both of them. I had to take on a new animal just to have a constant supply of Berries to be able to Travel between them.
There's so much Crafting too and Processing raw materials into other items takes a long time. it's a Good Game but I'm kind of burnt out on it.
Thanks so much for putting this together! I always value your opinion and really appreciate all the effort and honesty you put into your reviews/thoughts. It has truly helped me pick and choose what games to play (or put on the wishlist). My current want-to-play list (in order) is: Roots of Pacha, Sun Haven, Coral Island, Faefarm, Palia, Moonstone Island. Thanks again Josh!😊 p.s. Harvest Moon 64 was my first game of this genre and also has a special place for me
I reaaaaally want to play Moonstone Island, it's staring at me from the backlog. And this video made me want to play it even more😭
bubbles comment located
@@jbingbong hahah hi!🤭
Play it hahahaha! I'd love to know your thoughts!! 🥰👀
Agreed with most of the ratings! I love My Time at Sandrock is so great!!!
I have also played Roots of Pacha, A Wonderful Life, Sun Haven, The Wind of Anthos and agreed with most of your reviews.
This video is a great refresher on what the options are ahead of the Steam winter sale.
The best game for me was Roots of Pacha - I love it
I love this, Josh! I wholeheartedly agree with this tier list! 💚💚💚 My heart is happy seeing RF3, Moonstone, Sugar Shack, Wildmender, and Roots of Pacha! What an amazing journey you had for 2023! Thank you, and on we go to the next year!! 🎉
I absolutely love this video. I really was deciding on a few of those games, and you saved me some money to put in other games I'll enjoy. While I like winds of anthos, I agree with your opinions on it. Kind of shocked they charged DLC for things I feel like should have been in base games such as upgrades and extra fish types.
Great vid :) In general I think our tastes are a match lol. I haven't played all of the games here, but of the ones I know I completely agree.
My hope for 2024 farming games is more innovation in the actual farming mechanics. As someone in the sustainable ag field, the way these games farm all feels extremely bare bones to me; they usually ignore things like crop rotations, genetics, crop improvement, regionality, ecosystem services, native crops vs non native, pest pressure, weather events, and usually they don't integrate animals well either (fertilizer for example). This just scratches the surface, there's sooooo much you can do here.
I think adding all of these in would be too hardcore for a true cozy game (imagine losing all your Y1 income because you planted a monoculture of corn and there was a drought lol). But I still think there's a wealth of mechanics to pull from IRL that would add much more depth to farming games.
Great video btw, I'm a newer follower but I'm glad I found this channel!!
I love the idea of losing all my crops because of a drought! 😅 It's these kinds of things that make a game memorable, then you learn from your mistakes and it feels rewarding once you get things right. I agree it wouldn't be for everyone but I'd love some hardcore farming sims!
Trust me, I like grinding. And you’re idea. But you know some people want to make it easy. Some people using mods as well, like in stardew valley. Like why? I don’t understand? You can’t enjoy the game when you have lots of money already right? Idk I like grinding in the game, I doesn’t bother me. Sandrock way too easy for me to beat. No lying hahhaa.
This video was very well made! (Like always) Was very fun to watch! Happy Holidays! 😄
Dinkum is my favorite! Anyone that has not played it, should check it out. It came out in 2022.
List seems pretty inline with what I had in mind, though for Paleo Pines I would have put it in the C because of the clunky world navigation, as well as some clunky dino riding controls. And especially after Spirit of the Island went into C and I think both games are on the same level.
Sun haven the dark souls of farming games
A place where you eat a bunch of stuff with maple syrup?!?! I think I’ve died & gone to heaven! 🥞
I’m an XBox user and I love games that are on the Game Pass meaning Free to play and since Coral Island just launched on the Game Pass and it’s the full release it is now my favourite game
Checking before the Steam sales end! Thanks for the recs :)
I agree mostly with your ranking with minor changes, for me Moonstone Island and Sun Haven are S, I still need to get to roots of pacha to see what I think of it!
Thanks for the tier, Josh!
100% agree with your tier-list, and I know it was hard ranking Palia, but cost is also an important factor, and it's hard to beat a free game with cross-platform!
Thanks for the great video! I really hope Sugar Shack makes its way to the switch eventually; it seems like a fun take on the farm sim.
my time at sandrock and coral island, i totally agree.. such a great games!!! will try on roots of patcha next
Good video! You need more games to comment on: My Time at Portia? Cloud Meadow? Drake Hollow? Littiewood? Stardew Valley? Spiritfarer? Graveyard Keeper? Gozy Groove? No place like home? Forager? Len's Island? Slime Rancher? Pumpkin Days?
And here i thought I was a huge farming sim fanatic! 🤣🤣🤣 love the list and reasoning behind it 🤝
Great list!❤
good list, added a few to my wishlist too thanks
I love tier lists, fun to hear your thoughts.
Great video! While still early access, I'd recommend putting Dinkum on your watch list. I fell into it more than I would have expected.
Dinkum is one of my favorite games! I put it into the S tier in my video last year!
@@JoshGamingGarden Oh whoops I didn't know, I'll have to check that out!
Thanks for the excellent vid. With so many of these games produced lately, we NEED honest opinions supported by examples. There's gonna be a lot more junk than good stuf. So never worry about giving your honest opinion of a game.
Another great list, Josh!
I finally bought sprout valley bundled with garden buddies for $4.
I’m a person that gets bored very quickly. I got over fae farm pretty fast. I’m loving my Time at Portia though. Can’t wait to try sandrock.
As much as I love, love, LOVE Sun Haven, Roots of Pacha absolutely stole my heart. I actually double dipped and got it on PS5 too.
I love your tier list videos.
This is how search for new games to play. 😂
I love my time at sandrock! I got frustrated with Roots of Pacha the begining it's so slow, I agree with Fae Farm the NPCs are not special at all, Sun Heaven is overwhelming and thanks for the recommendation of the cloudy game the sheep looks adorable I will try it
Wow, so many farming games came out in 2023. Whichever one is closest to Stardew Valley would be my favorite 😂
Man.. might have to try my time at sandrock based on the high review. Im loving Coral Island though. Sunk in over 40 hrs just this week 😅 , but i do agree with your criticism of the game. Something that threw me off at first was some characters on the map not having portraits, just being white circles.
very great farming sim reference! thank you & have a bountiful 2024
I love my time st portia, im still playing it, havent started sandrock yet but i know itll be awesome
The funny thing about SoS: A Wonderful Life is its a farming game that sounds good on paper for everyone, but is a game that is not for everyone. And that is fine. It took me a looong time to even finish the game, but I'm glad I did. Its really well done, and I love the quality of life improvements especially, but its also a game that I can't recommend to a lot of people.
If you include farming simulator on there, ranch simulator should be in the list too right? I wonder which tier will you put on
I appreciate the list, I had mostly similar thoughts.
Moonstone island and coral island are easily my favorites of what I played this year. I really tried to enjoy fae farm but the shallowness in the characters really turned me away. To me, it felt unnecessary and a chore to interact with them, making the world feel lonely and one dimensional. The animations and graphics were really polished, but for the pricepoint I wished the characters and lore had a bit more life to them. Great tierlist though, cornucopia and roots of pacha are two games I'm interested in trying even more now!
Sandrock is so so so good! Everithing i wanted in My time at Portia was included in this game. I have so much fun playing, can't wait for a next game
Oh this totally made my day Josh! I would almost say Sun Haven is S Tier for me, but just recently it has had a lot of bugs and crashing (don't know if it's game related or my pc) and eventually my save file got completely corrupted and disappeared so unfortunately it got bumped down to A tier. Coral Island is A tier for the same reasons as you. Those I'd say is my top two played games this year, but I've recently played Palia on switch and have been enjoying it so far!
Also Everdream Valley looks really beautiful! Unfortunate that it looks like it needs quite a bit of work🫤 But hopefully with some time and patching up it'll turn into something great!
Oh no, sorry to hear about your Sun Haven save file, that's awful! 😭😨 I guess I've been quite lucky as I've not experience many bugs with that game but I've heard from other people who had a similar experience to yours. Hopefully they can iron out those technical issues, especially as it's planned release for the Switch soon.
Hello. I saw a comment on one of your videos that mentioned a "cozy meter". I'd love it if you maybe we to implement that into your videos in the new year. Thank you for reading.
I agree that Harvest Moon 64 has an epic soundtrack. The music is so nostalgic for me now!
I really love My Time at Sandrock because it's co-op with 4 players.
These type of games are so much more fun to do together.
I think it depends on the person, but my friends and I have never felt that sun haven was overwhelming, we actually love it more than any other farming game because it has so much content 😂 I think it helps it stand out from all of the other farm Sims as well
They just released a new update for Harvest Moon Winds of Anthos to help with the ridiculous time issue! So many that would bump it to A tier
I played Sandrock and was blown away. I loved original Portia despite the flaws and was not disapointed even with slight complaints.
I love this kind of content 💎💪🏽😉
I belive Story of Seasons A Wonderful life deserves to be on S tier, it's a remake based on a pretty old game within a genre that has evolved a whole lot since then and so It wouldn't be fair to compare it to many if not all the none remakes of the farming simulator genre, It would be the same if say Time Splitters 2 was remade today, sure a whole lot of people would enjoy a remake or that game but it wouldn't be fair to compare it to most shooters made these days.
Hey Josh! What about Immortal life? I always thought you would love the game but you didn't cover it that much, how come?
It was on my list of 2022, I love that game!
how about Cuisineer, Josh?
I haven't played half of these games, but I completely agree with what you said about Paleo Pines. The ranch, dinosaurs and farming is great, but the main/side quests and characters seem uneccssary.
i agree, good list!!
Absolutely agree regarding My Time at Sandrock. One of the best Life-Sim Games ever ❤
Harvest Moon 64 showing up outta nowhere is awesome! S tier deserved haha
My favorites this year are My Time at Sandrock, Stardew Valley (well it was on my backlog for quite a while) and Dinkum.
Quite a good year for the genre.
My Universe Green Adventure, is a very good farming sim, but no one seems to know it.
i got surprised about Palia being S for you hahah
How about Life in Willowdale: Farm Adventures have you play that game yet and if not can you make a video about it?
I played it... It's pretty bad. It came out in 2022 so it's on my 2022 tier list and I also have a video where I take a first look at the game.
@@JoshGamingGarden Ok i take a look at your video on it i seen other videos on it i been thinking about getting it but i probably won't because it does look bad maybe it get a good update soon and i change my mind keep up the videos great channel.
My time at sandrock is the best cozy/farming game that I play and well deserve the S tier.
I really like Palia, and it seems I'm lucky because I absolutely love the earlier furniture and I don't care much for the later ones, so I really don't have to grind a lot, Flow-wood and Palium just keep stacking higher and higher in my stash :P I crafted one of each of the high tier furniture just too see what they looked like and most of them are just so dark and moody, some of the Dragon stuff I like, like the circular bookshelf and some wall decorations and lamps that look nice, but the color doesn't fit in anywhere in my house >.<
It's also a pretty buggy game, but it has a lot of promise, hopefully the devs can clean up most of the glitches and keep producing quality content and add more areas to explore. It could be huge if they support it properly.
I haven't played all of the games listed but for the ones I did play I agreed with their placements for the most part. The only one I really would have moved is Palia - it's far too incomplete and buggy (in addition to the grind) to be S tier for me. In its current state I'd put it at a B. It has a lot of potential to be very good - beautiful world, interesting characters, engaging story - but I personally don't feel it's there yet.
My fave farming game of the year is MTA Sandrock - beautiful game, tons of content and depth, lots of fun.
Looking forward to next year's crop of games (no pun intended 😂).
Noo, Sandrock is stressful and npcs make you feel really bad if you don't do your job. I'm not playing as a job though I guess its nice if you enjoy that challenge. You did recommend Sun Haven and Roots of Pacha, those were great!
The roots of pacha is on sale on switch last week I think. I’m hesitant to buy it. Because my pc is on the way. But with kids it’s hard to play on the desktop. But since so said it runs well on switch. I might get it, thanks Josh. I bought sandrock on switch. And to be honest it’s pissed me off. You are right about the graphics lol
Sun Haven deserves S tier.
My favorite game is Palia of 2023. Because it seems to be the farthest from being too similar to Stardew Valley. I don't have time to play games much these days, but this is a game where you can play for 15 mins and feel like you are making progress by earning income with the farming passively until you do have time to do other stuff.
The issue you stated for Coral Island would be no excuse to anyone. If they show us stuff in the game that you can't even access to then it's not even "added content" or something like that. They flat out sold you an incomplete games. Added stuff are supposed to complement the base game, not be oart of it.
Personally, that alone would drop it to C Tier instantly, and I could easily see peopls drop it to D tier.
although i am a bit disappointed that Coral Island did not do a full release on the 1.0 version, i cannot seem to stop myself from playing it. At this point i have accumulated 290 hrs of gameplay. So i would have switched roots of pacha with coral island. But that might be because taking care of the animals in roots of pacha takes up so much time that i don't feel i have much time left to do something else. I refunded Cornucopia.. i found the characters a bit brainless plus the style of the game was just not for me. Keep up the good work Josh!
Was on the fence, but I just started Fae Farm and have been enjoying it more than expected. It feels really polished
