Early Access Review
I admittedly play for only a day or two after every new update but I continue to be amazed with all of the obvious love and dedication that has gone/continues to go into the development of this game.

Pros
-Gorgeous music & a unique, vibrant pixel art style
-While the world and conversations are not fully fleshed out, the feeling of the world being alive and full is already apparent
-Constant, honest interaction & transparency between the community and the devs -- if you haven't seen an update in a while you can be assured that will be addressed in the next blog! The devs also take feedback seriously, they want to make a game for us to enjoy as much as they enjoy working on it.

Cons
-After the tutorial, I found myself at a loss on how to progress and all my hours of Stardew Valley and Garden Paws did nothing to help me with time management and planning in this game.
-This game requires serious patience. While it is 100% playable as-is, buying this game is a huge investment of time on your part should you hope to see the full fruits of the dev's labor -- they've made it clear they're not going to be finished with the game anytime soon.

All that being said, I know there is a certain reticence to buying Early Access titles, but I don't see the devs slowing their momentum on working on this anytime soon, and when it's finally completed, it will likely become quite costly. If you're willing to be patient enough to wait to buy until the game is released, I recommend instead purchasing it now and just waiting to play it until all updates are released.
