The problem with farm-sim games in a massiv list like this is most of them looks generic af. Not bad, just plain and really generic. It'be hard for me to name the game by the only description and images. And that's why I can't but applaud those games who stands up: Teatopia, Critter Cove, Sally, Oddfauna, Everafter Falls, The garden path, ChefRPG, Kibu and Witchbrook. Even if they're not my cup of tea (don't like some artstyles) they looks like I could remember them. (Of course this is only based on what we can see at the moment, being them upcoming games)
Yeah... a lot of these games fail the very simple test of answering the question "what is the thing that sets it apart?". But I guess people really enjoy this genre.
Hi Clemmy! Thank you so much for covering Ova Magica (again). It is an absolute honor to be on your channel! You are always so supportive towards indie devs and give smaller devs also some visibility♥
Kibu - really has an enchanting visual style and the theme of a combination of homestead and secluded dwelling for meditation and mindfulness really comes out in the trailer! Great going! Witchbrook - Holy hell! That visual style is arresting. I can see why there's a buzz in the beehive about this one if it's still in development... Personally speaking, I like the approach taken by "Hundred Days - winemaking simulator" which you showcased in a previous year: Wine-making, vineyard growing business with more focus on simulating such a business process: Almost educational and thus delightful when you pull it off, for these sorts of "R-P-G Far-m ing Sim-u-Lator" games!
Solarpunk is part of the punk eras that cyberpunk, steampunk, dieselpunk, clockpunk, atompunk (and many others) are part of. Solarpunk is a sci-fi subgenre that envisions a sustainable future interconnected with nature and technology, ecological utopias where nature and technology grow in harmony.
@@ClemmyGames Punk means to go against the norm, the status quo, counterculture or simply street-level anarchy. In Solarpunk means post-capitalism, where society lives in harmony with itself, technology and nature. Solar means exactly that, solar energy. Solarpunk is the direct opposite of Cyberpunk, where technology and capitalism are dominant. One is an optimistic and utopic view of the future, the other is the gritty and violent take on it.
Feels like a much weaker crop of games we've got in this category next year than we did this year. Oh well, that will give me time to catch up on all the great titles we had last year I didn't get to.
While i am glad to see the farming sim genre get so much love after Stardew Valley's huge continuing success. I worry that the over saturation of the genre will lead to it's decline as more & more games are made but with declining unique quality & become more generic to the point of becoming asset dump cash grabs. I fear this same fate for the Metroidvania genre as well. Just look at the FPS genre or the zombie survival genre & what they have become.
I feel like I want to like these types of games more than I actually do. I need something to scratch the same itch that Dave the Diver and Dredge did, but I want to have a settlement and farm.
Crap, I just realized something… we never got any news on that… Bushiden game?! (It’s been so long I forgot the name, and had to look it up) I know good games take time, but still no word? (Speaking of good games taking time, Faeland is calling my name, gotta run!)
Yo Clemmy! Have you ever played the demo “TH3-M15 GUILD”? I haven’t been able to put it down for a couple days, it’s so Farging GOOD! Not sure when it’s releasing, but the dev said it won’t be more than 2 years (sorry, that’s as much as they’d give me 😂)
Solarpunk is just a meaningless word (buzzword, but some.people are offended by this specific word, it seems) that means ecologist fiction, there's zero depth to it, capitalizing in the success of steampunk and other whateverpunks (not cyberpunk; cyberpunk was a genuine genre, not a mere shallow trend).
Solarpunk a buzzword? That word gets thrown around so frequently it is starting to become a buzzword in itself. Solarpunk is a genre that fits farming rpg's perfectly, imo. So, them using that word as the name of the game is completely valid. It's literally the same thing Cyberpunk 2077 did, even the "2077" is almost a synonym of the cyberpunk genre, so the name of the game can't get more basic than that. Steampunk is also a great genre that can have as much depth as the cyberpunk genre, i would even argue that the cyberpunk genre has been overexploited in the last few years because of how trendy it is. I wouldn't critize that game so harshly because we still don't know much about it.
I feel like stitching -punk onto the end of random words is the genre fiction equivalent of games stitching -like onto the end of the thing they're copying and calling it a genre lol
@@lochlannach7 Cyberpunk 2077 is based in a 35 year old tabletop RPG called Cyberpunk 2020. It is not the same thing at all. I am not defending the trash game CDPR made, or even the one Pondsmith made (it was bad back in the 90s when I first played it and it's still bad). But why the hell are we talking about this that stupid game? It has nothing to do with my original comment.

I can't wait for Field of Mistria. It is everything I want from a farming game. gorgeous art, combat, and RPG elements.
yeah!

Didn't expect Eastward to have another one in the franchise. Eastward is just a great game to play
agreed

Ha we are running into each other a lot these days Claudia.
True! I like that♥ haha@@CritterCove
I wish Stardew Valley would have come out when I was a kid. I love these types of games; I sadly just don't have time anymore =/
fair enough
Tell me the market isn't flooded with farming games without telling me the market is flooded with farming games.
For me that's not the real problem, the problem is the lack of quality and originality in these games, most of them look very boring and generic.
hmm
Kibu - really has an enchanting visual style and the theme of a combination of homestead and secluded dwelling for meditation and mindfulness really comes out in the trailer! Great going!

Critter cove looks more up my alley and Oddfauna looks incredible, reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are
cool!

Thanks. Yeah people just seem to be adding -punk to anything these days which adds to the confusion.

Thank you for taking the time to write the comment! So it's punk how? Anti-modern day capitalism? @@JustaGuy2.0
Witchbrook was announced in 2019 since now we dont know nothing bout this game
You are amazing at presenting information-dense videos with lists of games, all properly annotated.
Feels like a much weaker crop of games we've got in this category next year than we did this year. Oh well, that will give me time to catch up on all the great titles we had last year I didn't get to.
I see what you did there

It happens to all genres, see vampire survivors clones for example, but the quality ones will always stand out

Stardew lol (with mods?) Or terraria
Farm simulation RPG.

I so hope Eastward Octopia is going to be good! Go get the base game if you haven't, it's no farming game though.
yeah! Probably the highlight
I got that at launch and still haven’t played it! …my pile of shame is really getting outta hand!!!
Would suggest console owners avoid Coral Island. It's a broken mess & the game is very incomplete. Don't let anyone convince you the game is fine.
Same for sunhaven.
thanks for sharing
I tried to play it through gamepass and also couldn't get it work.
Alright Clemmy, what we got?
Sadly, so many low effort 3d farming games just trying to bank on Stardew Valley success. 90% of this list looks pure trash.
harsh
I guess
k
ova magika is never coming out lol
Haha! Dev here:-P It will 100% 2024♥!
@claudiathedev761 don't crush my lil heart, can't wait for it!
