This game is fun and has me hooked. I finished it after just a few days.

But the game feels incomplete and slightly rushed.

For example, as you progress through the game you can unlock new items to sell, but you unlock some items at the very end of the game, so it feels kind of pointless.

The fast travel system is not super useful as it takes you to places on the map that are kind of inconvenient and the games maps is small enough to just run to the destination just as fast in most instances.

The inventory management system is a bit annoying, you can only pick up stacks of 5 items. Not at the max, but at all. So if you just need to grab one apple to restock, you have to run back and forth to return the excess apples from the stack. You can also get into a situation where you don’t have a place to put an item down and need to trash it instead.

Money is never an issue in this game and there are perks to lower purchase prices, but it’s completely irreverent as you always have enough money.

The reward points you get to unlock things is also a bit pointless as you easy get so many of them that by the time you progress in the story and unlock the next tier, you can just buy everything right away.

The little town seems like there could be so much lore and things to unlock, but nothing happens. I assumed I was only halfway done the game when I finished it as there is so much left unresolved.

I assumed the game was made by a solo dev, but the credits rolled and I was shocked at how many people worked on this game.

So, while it was fun. I would not recommend buying it in its current state. I think it needs a few big dlcs before it can call itself a completed game.
