This game is. . . eh. It was fun at first, but that ended, when it became clear just how repetitive this game is. It has almost no freedom. You collect ingredients, you make recipes, you serve customers, and you watch scenes. That's the game. I finished it because I am attempting to finish every game in my collection unless I absolutely hate it, and this was not a hate, but it also was not a like. If you plan to only play so long as you have fun -- then great, you might enjoy it, but you won't likely see the whole story. If you want to see the whole story -- well, it's about 10 hours too long, and that'll be a slog. Basically, it's fun at first. It's cute, exploring is fun, and so it riding your dragon -- but that will end and then you're stuck doing the same thing everyday, coming home at the right time to see your next scene, so that you can move on, and do the same thing on the next day.

This game is not perfect. I absolutely acknowledge that. There are still glitches, and loading times can be annoying, but they are not often. The main thing that I want to point out in this review is that many of the issues talked about in the other reviews were launch problems that have been patched out. It has been improved post launch. I have never gotten stuck or had a game breaking bug. The worst thing that happened to me was that my house disappeared once -- once I managed to find where the door should be I was still able to enter it. So yes, it's not perfect. But behind the few glitches that still remain is a wonderful game. If you're willing to look past them, you'll have a wonderful experience, with crafting, a large world to explore, and the best mining I've experienced in a game in this genre. It's simply fun. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute, and do not regret my purchase at all.
