    At the beginning I disliked it, but it got better and better, and it's getting bigger and bigger.
    Yes, the critics are right, it's at some point lazy with animations, yes the combat is not the best, but the story is super b and very large, including the side quests and there are more as in nearly all other games. Which also makes the price fair. Also the side quests telling good storys...    At the beginning I disliked it, but it got better and better, and it's getting bigger and bigger.

    Of course, you see the graphic, and the first 3-5 hours feel a bit like a rip off, cause missing animations and stuff like this, but I suggest everyone to stay, and then to enjoy a very good journey.

    I needed nearly 100 hours..    … Expand

    Wound up enjoying it so much more than I thought I would. The battle system was enjoyable and the gameplay loop is borderline addicting. The music is some of the best of all time, and I still listen to it months after finishing the game. GOTY 2022.

    Harvestella is ambitious as hell and punches way above what I suspect was a limited budget. Yes, I wish Quietus would feel like more of a threat during the game or that time management offered more of a sense of urgency than it does, but this game is going to linger in my mind. It is undoubtedly one of my favourite games of the year and gets bonus points for running perfectly on Steam Deck!

    Are you looking for a fantasy life with beautiful scenery and deep stories? 'Harvestella' can be one of your choices only if you are okay with suffering from terrible management system for stamina and time. While the combat system is okay at least, overall motion is somewhat awkward. Also, Insufficient convenience features are enough to make you think the game has a pretty big room for improvement.

    A more than successful evolution of the agricultural management genre with RPG touches, real-time combat and a highly accomplished technical section. Something simple in all its sections but very fun.
