    I’ve been meaning to start it for years now, but I’m actually kind of intimidated by it at this point.

      It starts off slow but by the second year you need the wiki open on a second screen, mainly to know when and where certain fish show up.

      I played it with my kids in coop mode.
      What’s great is the progression system. You start very poor, having to cut wood, with nowhere to go that far. The areas and what you can do unfold themselves step by step.

        I also played with my kids on lan, and they love it. Had to discipline them a bit to water the plants 😀

    Ginger Island was phenomenal. They took everything that made the game suck and fixed it without disrespecting players who liked doing things the old way, plus they added in some cool content which added a lot to the end game. Fairy dust is single handedly the best feature ever added since once you get a room full of Statues of Fortune you can just pump out any item you want at breakneck speed. Fairy Rose goes from being a niche flower you use for bees to a genuine powerhouse of a crop during a season which is normally a massive lull in production. The only thing that sucks about them is that they stack really badly. I really hope next update fixes that because that is unacceptable game design.

      I’m gonna be that guy and say I don’t like Ginger Island, mainly because of the golden walnut hunt.

        Yeah that didn’t have to be there. It’s easy enough to bypass with wikipedia which is what I ended up doing.
