Fun little game, understands the scope of its design. Has some fighting, some farming, a lot of exploring. Some of the mechanics are tedious, but it's a farming game, so you're up for that, right? Be sure to upgrade your friends houses earlier rather than later: their upgrades make the game a lot more accessible and fun.

One of the down sides for me was the energy consumption and energy management.
The consuption was high and I felt I had to garden and sleep alot which slowed the progression down. At times it turned my gameplay into 2/3 farming and cooking, 1/3 exploring. If I wanted to spend less time gardening/cooking, I could, but only at the cost of not collectng/interacting and jogging everywhere, which was slow and not fun for me.

I would recommend the game but only on special or if you're someone who does not mind the heavy management.
