Moonlight Peaks

After playing over 40 hours of this game, I decided to share my review. First off, I absolutely love the art style of the game. I like how it reminds me of a mix between Animal Crossing and Story of Seasons, as if they had a child. I appreciate this because, since switching to Steam, I've been searching for a game with a similar Animal Crossing-style. This game definitely covers all the bases. Second, I've been playing this game since launch, and I wish the developers had initially done an early access instead of releasing the game as they did. The first few weeks were a bit rough with glitches, the foraging not resetting, and so on. However, I’m happy that the developers have been working to release patches promptly to address some of these issues. Kudos to them for listening and pushing those updates. Lastly, my only complaint right now is that I wish there was a skip option for all in-game dialogue. I'm not a fan of dialogue in general. Usually, if there's an option to skip it, I do so in most other games. Overall, I’m really enjoying and loving this game! I’m sure I'll spend plenty of hours on it.

You can be a vampire. I like vampires.

The moonlight shining through the peaks. Best game ever.

It’s nice so far. One of the main things I think should be improved is the bouquet maker. The characters do not seem to react appropriately when they are given a bouquet, especially when it is made using flowers they love. Since creating a bouquet takes more effort than giving a single flower, it should feel more meaningful and receive a stronger “loved” reaction. The mail could also use some improvement. At the moment, the messages do not always reflect each character’s individual personality or way of speaking. They can feel AI-generated, especially because of the repeated use of hyphens. It would be much more immersive if each message sounded like it genuinely came from that specific character. Also sometimes it feels like the Howling Hammer is always closed? I think I read it depended on the moon? If so the moon cycle should be incorporated in the calendar.

I very much love this game and would definitely recommand it. I think the story is well paced, being not too slow and not too fast either. I also like the easiness to transform materials, like it doesn't take an industry and an entire week to create stuff (wine, metal bars, planks, wooking,..). Compare to other farm game it's refreshing. Decorating and moving furniture around is very easy as well. I absolutely love the design and the lore. All the characters have their own quirks and have depths. It's my first time disliking certains characters in a farm game (which is a good point in my opinion). I'm playing it on steam deck. It runs smoothly.

Super cute game fulfilling my love of farming sims. ❤️

its a good Farm sim, nothing ground breaking but the basics are mastered and the tools are smooth to use and you get a faster way to travel fairly early on. quick to pick up, not easy to just cheese with one or two high priced crops
