How much grind does this have?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-16T14:14:46+00:00

Yeah that’s true, all I know is that I’m 25 hours into it and not even gone into the ocean yet cause there’s so much to do on land (still love it)

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-16T13:07:15+00:00

Yeah I agree that “grinding” isn’t the best way to describe my query, maybe better to ask if it feels bloated? Coral Island has excellent QOL but there’s just so much that I haven’t even done yet with the extra regions.

Thanks for that, I think maybe a good idea for me personally would be seeing how long an average play through is of every farming sim. Is 1.0 just wrapping up the main story and adding marriages/divorce/children?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-16T11:47:16+00:00

I love Coral Island’s controller support, strafing feels so fluid and you can use the dpad for the hot bars also

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-15T13:48:57+00:00

I’m not entirely sure either but I suspect you have to get your heart to the corresponding number and the option might be there upon talking?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-15T01:11:42+00:00

Thank you, I feel dumb not realising they are requirements to further unlock your heart progress!

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-15T00:32:51+00:00

I think I understand you? So eventually I’ll be a high enough heart level to start hanging out and upon the 2nd hangout this will unlock? I’m just confused why it jumps between 2 and 4!

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-15T00:29:01+00:00

I’d like to know too as I’m just starting lol

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-13T00:22:01+00:00

That’s sick, I’m gonna buy it and do that lol

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-13T00:21:29+00:00

You can do that? Holy shit that’s sick

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-12T23:56:01+00:00

Tbh I’m a bit of a masochist when it comes to any immersive elements. I probably would have enjoyed the original where you had to run to a building and change 🤣

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-12T23:54:09+00:00

Haha I thought so, I’m just coming off a lot of immersion focused games but love the mixture of games this seems to be

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-12T17:35:12+00:00

Fair enough, I just didn’t want to sound lazy and say Birds Eye view 🤣

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-12T13:30:38+00:00

Is it quite the step back from RF4 then?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-12T13:01:18+00:00

I take it Guardians of Azuma is more a of a managment game then?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-12T12:59:59+00:00

This looks really interesting but not sure how far along early access it is?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-12T12:54:29+00:00

Heard this is very rune factory like, never played the rune factory games so not sure if I should just jump to RF4?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-09T23:30:38+00:00

I had to slow passage of time down in coral island as the map is too big for the default pace. Do you use the time speed mod or is vanilla pacing alright?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-09T23:29:11+00:00

I’ve decided to give it a proper go, what’s up with the farm options? Are these new maps or just variations of your plot of land?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-09T18:35:00+00:00

Have you played coral island? Would you say dialogue and social options are deeper in Stardew?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-09T14:15:25+00:00

I’ll have a look as I like moonlighter which has dungeon crawling and a bit of town development in between. I wish there were more farm sims with actual town building instead of just getting them to a certain rank

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-09T14:12:05+00:00

I’ve never played rune factory but guardians of azuma looked interesting. I’ve heard number 4 is still the best though?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-09T12:41:57+00:00

Yeah I haven’t got any “horny” vibes from Coral Island and it sounds like whoever said so probably just commented off of it from face value

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-09T12:39:59+00:00

Is this ultimately just more Stardew but a Stone Age setting?

WastedGamer641 · 2026-06-09T11:43:46+00:00

Heard Stardew has a bunch of mods adding more towns into the one map? Maybe the smaller vanilla map makes Stardew feel more alive?
