    Loading, loading, loading. For basically a text based adventure game there is so much lag between each screen that it is incredibly infuriating to play. I got the game before any reviews were out, without knowing what the gameplay was like. FYI, apparently this game is a port from mobile. Idk what the other platforms are like, but this is a bad port. Cannot recommend. Besides the lag, theLoading, loading, loading. For basically a text based adventure game there is so much lag between each screen that it is incredibly infuriating to play.

    **** game. Never played it. Sounds like an Ai generated game with an octopath traveler looking as logo. RPG nowdays a the **** type of game because it turned in to a cheap way to make fast money. Square took inspiration off of EA because the only games they make now days are doodoo. Also dunkey i love you. Knack 3 baby ** knack is back (ohh yeahh)

    Various Daylife is held back by its mobile game nature and too many wrong choices that transform the game in a series of jobs and actions that no one would really love to do.

    With a boring gameplay loop and a wasted combat system, Various Daylife proves that porting games from mobile to console isn't always a good idea.

    Various Daylife is the epitome of an experimental RPG. This is the kind of game that you’ll have a much better time with if you limit yourself to only fifteen minutes or maybe half an hour a day. Stay within that time frame, and the daily stat management, quick quest runs, and the simple class system will just about hit the spot. Play for much longer, and you’ll soon realize how relatively shallow the gameplay loop really is. We’d give this one a very light recommendation for anyone who’s obsessed with the work of Team Asano or for those who want a simple and light RPG for their Switch—if neither of those describes you, you’re not missing much by choosing to pass.
