Let me start off by saying this game is everything I need it to be and MORE! There is so much to do- cooking, driving, fishing, making music and even ICE skatingggg!! There’s so many people (npc’s, players) to interact with and the customization is very thorough. You can have so many different types of styles and sets for your character. On top of that the game itself, graphics and art style are really what make this a 5 star game. I will say the micro transactions are not my favorite but they’re advertised in a way that isn’t distracting, frustrating or disruptive to the gameplay itself. It’s truly additional items so I don’t mind paying if I see something I like. I’ve been playing everyday since it released and It’s so exciting to see all the added challenges and updates weekly. I have been experiencing a slight bug with my cat specifically, where- upon seeing her at home, there is no automatic pop up for interacting with her like with my dog. They will stand side by side and I only have the option to feed or pet my dog. This is very concerning when she’s hungry because they eat daily and I feel bad when their tummies grumble. Please look into the interactions with pets/cats so they can stay consistent. The wild animal interactions have worked perfectly for me so I want to give my pets the same courtesy. Otherwise keep up the great work! You’ve truly created a work of art with this game and I’ll definitely keep playing! :)

I want to start this review with this first yes, no one is forcing money to be spent in a “free” game, but when you love a game (if you are able and only if) adding support to those who work on the game so they can go home to their families with a smile and food on the table, is why you do give money to this type of game. But, when a game doesn’t care about its player is when things turn for the worse, and I fear this is becoming the case. The title is the truth to this review. A fear I will have to end my Heartopia journey before it starts. I have been excited to play this game every day for the passed week, only for the more I play the more I find people (whom have which played for much longer) saying they are hurting by the developers lack of care for us who aren’t on CN servers. The more players who are starting to say they have wasted their time with this game and its predatory system. In which makes it hard to receive any value in the spending of their hard earned money especially in today’s real life climate. This review will probably seem as ‘comical’ to some but to others it’s the truth. The truth is this, many people see this game as a way to leave real world issues and be able to smile, but when the game only sees its player as money symbols what really are we the player escaping truly? We leave one beast for another.

This game is literally the game of my dreams! It combines all my favorite games into one! If you like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, SIMS, you’ll LOVE this. Or at the very least, enjoy it a lot. This game is so so fun and enjoyable! There is SOO much stuff to do! And even if you just want to chill, you can quite literally do that. The map is HUGE, so many features, furniture, accessories and clothes On top of that, you get many opportunities to get so much free stuff! And the developers most definitely do not cut you out. If you do decide to make a purchase, in my honest opinion (also as someone who doesn’t like to “waste” money on games) it’s actually worth it. You get the most cutest moped for your first purchase and you can literally purchase the $0.34 hearts pack. You can 100% play, spend NO money, and still have fun. On top of all this, the game runs so smoothly. My phone was 100% charged, I played for 4 hours and my battery was barely at half. I’m super impressed with how smooth this game runs with the graphics it has. Only downside (in my opinion) is the tutorial aspect is very long. You do a ton of quests, which does earn you a lot of money, but it takes time before you can unlock all the features. Still soooooo worth it though! I’ve probably earned at least 25,000 coins from the tutorials alone

So I want to start this off by saying that I love this game so far but i have encountered a couple of issues so far. For one I purchased 3 recipes from Massimo's cooking store, Fish & chips, Cheese Cake and Grilled Mushroom but they dont show up anywhere. i've checked my mail, my backpack and the cooking stove, i dont know if i accidentally deleted them or sold them or something but i cant find them anywhere. Secondly, I've noticed when placing custom markers on the map they dont show up on the mini map so it's hard to find them unless i'm tracking them which is a bit troublesome to open up the big map and select to track them one by one rather than just being able to see them on the mini map. Third, Pets, absolutely love the idea however I wish there was a way to trade out the animals I picked out in the beginning since I was unaware of the different breeds that show up in the animal shelter as well as unaware of there being a limit of only 2 pets which when i first start playing i just chose any cat and dog to complete the quest. Fourth and probably the most annoying feature in the game for myself is that in order to place items or plant items and to fish you have to be directly in front of where you want to aim and looking at it and its very finicky to get things in the right spot, i think it would be much easier to either point and click where you want to place something to make things less of a hassle of trying to get your character in the right spot. These are just some things ive noticed so far since playing the game since release that have been a bit irritating to deal with for myself.
