I bought Life in Willowdale so you don't have to



Today I made a mistake and bought Life in Willowdale: Farm Adventures for the Nintendo Switch.

  1. Unfortunately, the music loops every 30 seconds I wouldn't able to handle it. I wouldn't be able on Switchlite if only uses joycons. I had bad feeling about this game maybe because of graphics. I can see why this game is delayed till 18th for Steam and other console. Thanks for making review because the ones I could find are in German. Due to my bad experience with Hokko Life I might as wait for Harvestella and better off playing Dinkum.

  2. I don’t like saying this about games cause normally there is some heart in it but… god this game doesn’t have any love in it! It’s really just trying to farm money and nothing else

  3. jesus, what a horrible game! so sad. im playing peaceful days and even though it's a one man game in early access, it's the extreme opposite of this one. you can see love and dedication. so sad this one is just something to steal money from those who love farm games…

  4. No offense to the artists and all, but what is it with all these recent farming games having the ugliest looking characters. A lot of them look like off brand Lego characters. A lot of these games have been trying to go for a "chibi" character style with small bodies, large head and eyes, etc, but when done poorly it just looks really bad and offputting. I know this probably comes off as mean, but I do think there should be a little more time and effort put into the character designs.

    I'm hoping it'll get some tune-ups while it's being ported to other systems. Graphics and framerate fixes, UI touch ups, controller support (no Pro Controller support is just weird) and the like, but honestly the thing this game needed the most was a bit more time in the oven before it was released.

  5. this is the first time I've come across your channel. I saw the title and thought "It can't be that bad" but daaaaaamn! This looks like a mobile game. No way I'd pay $40 for this. Save your money, get Stardew Valley for $15!

  6. This is not a 40$ game… Sunny Side and Coral Island is going to be so much better and I don't even think the starting price tag would be as high. Then again, I could see Sunny Side being about 30-40$ but damn, it would be much more worth the money and time.

  7. Idk guys. This doesn't look all that bad to me. With some improved textures and a better soundtrack, this could be a pretty okay alpha. I think it has potential. Def shouldn't have been released yet, and certainly not at that price point.

  8. Joycons only doesn't bother me as I only play handheld on my Switch, though it's a weird choice for sure. The way the graphics style look in the stills I think are really cute but your actual characters looks really off and just… not right.

    Super disappointing as there's definitely some mechanics and features that are interesting but, agreed it looks very unfinished graphically for sure and just slapped together while still in progress to get it out almost – maybe because there was sooo many cozy esque games releasing in September.

    I was really looking forward to this one from the eshop listing pics and description but, am glad I didn't grab it yet. Was waiting for reviews with that insane price point so thank you very much. Might keep watch on it to see if it improves and goes on a very big sale…

  9. I was so excited for this game. They hyped it up so much and made it look really good with the trailer. It's so bad. I tried so hard to keep playing, but I just couldn't do it. The characters are ugly, they have no personality, they stand in one spot in their really empty houses/shops. There's no design to anything. You can't jump over fences in town. The animals are ugly. The crops are ugly. Lol. I just can't. I can see potential, but it's going to take A LOT of work!
