It really is a cozy 10/10 game.
Been playing it for the last few days, very relaxing game to just take your time with, recommend
Great recommendation! I’ve been playing this a lot recently and it feels like the perfect kind of game for the Deck since it’s so easy to pick up and play in short sessions. It’s also got so much to offer that the gameplay doesn’t get repetitive quickly. A tip is that there are community layouts for the Steam Deck where some of the more annoying button mashing is mapped to macros on the back grips. Definitely a nice feature for sanity and button longevity reasons!
Getting my Steam Deck in a few days and this has been top of my wishlist since I first saw it! Looks very neat and fun. Thanks for bringing it up here.
I actually just uninstalled it…but don’t let that put you off, it’s just not really for me.
What was the reason? I watched the game’s promo video and it looks fun, but like … just also a lot? Like its trying to cram a whole bunch of things into one, and I was almost stressed just watching the video seeing all the things to manage.
It develops pretty gradually and is a much bigger game than it seems from the cover but it also gradually adds things to automate a lot of the things that you have to do manually and just keeps growing. I’m just over 35 hours in and about 75% complete (I think). Even though there’s a lot to do in a day there’s no real time pressure because time doesn’t really pass except when you do start a dive or open the restaurant. You always get two dives in the day (and an optional one at night) and then open the restaurant.
There’s a little of that for sure. I wonder if focusing the game down to its component parts might have made for a more satisfying experience, at least for me.
It’s not a bad game at all, I just decided I’d rather spend my limited game time elsewhere.
I saw this game randomly a few weeks ago and now everybody is singing its praises. Sounds like I need to pick this up!
