- “But not only is the character creator great, I also found myself enjoying the story quite a bit.”
- “Beautiful and compelling story!”
- “I think this needs more story and more things to do before it's really amazing, but for what there is, it's pretty good.”
- “The story is so rudimentary that you may say it's non-existent (at least in the Steam version).”
- “After you beat the story, the game feels a bit lackluster and that's quite unfortunate.”
- “There is no plot or storyline, so you have to provide that yourself.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their beauty and realism, with many users noting significant improvements over previous titles like Koikatsu Party. However, some players experience performance issues, including lag and low frame rates, even on lower settings, which detracts from the overall experience. While the character customization is highlighted as a strong point, the game's aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, leading to mixed opinions on its visual style.
- “The visuals and animations are greatly improved over Koikatsu Party, with more of a photo-realism approach than a cartoon approach.”
- “The graphics are beautiful, but too much for anything below a high-end computer.”
- “The graphics and character customization are top notch.”
- “I really like the design and graphics, which can edit the character very beautifully and in detail, but the game is very laggy even when I close all the graphic effects and set it to 1/4 graphics. It still lags, even though I can play Genshin Impact on high graphics just fine and very smoothly.”
- “That aside, I found the graphics not up to snuff (especially considering the price tag). Gameplay is juvenile (you keep running back and forth hitting exactly the same spots to pick up stuff), character movement is extremely awkward (this type of game needs a controller), and you are zoomed in way too far on your character (it is third person) so you can't see where you are going.”
- “Graphics are not that great, and when you run the game, it is prone to low frame rates, stutters, and even crashes.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users noting its slow pace, clunky mechanics, and repetitive tasks that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the character customization and building elements, others find the survival mechanics simplistic and frustrating, leading to a monotonous gameplay loop. Overall, the game is seen as overpriced for the quality of gameplay it offers, with many suggesting that better alternatives exist in the genre.
- “But the gameplay... I mean, Koikatsu Party gets you right to the fun stuff, so to speak.”
- “The gameplay is really good, which is another reason why I don't enjoy clicking 'no' below my review.”
- “Originally here for the h-game, got addicted to the actual survival gameplay instead.”
- “Also the gameplay is so slow; it took longer to do anything.”
- “The mechanics are just plain bad.”
- “But the overall gameplay is very monotonous and somewhat boring with not much content.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with many players experiencing severe performance issues, including frequent crashes, low frame rates, and significant stuttering, even on high-end PCs. Despite the appealing graphics and potential gameplay, the poor optimization detracts from the overall experience, leading some users to seek refunds. Many hope for future updates to address these critical performance problems.
- “I think it may just be an optimization issue, but sometimes I get a momentary frame rate dip in stuff like loading new areas.”
- “Performance seems good, but frames per second do drop in places while gathering or if you have placed a large number of housing items.”
- “Good game overall, but not worth the full price and not very well optimized.”
- “Hard crashed my PC 3/5 times trying to load into the world, and when you're in, the performance is awful even with a beast PC and the HF patch. Ended up having to refund it.”
- “The game is very poorly optimized.”
- “Extremely unoptimized.”

The grinding aspect of the game is widely described as tedious and time-consuming, with players noting that it can feel like a chore, especially in farming and crafting tasks. However, some find it relaxing and enjoyable, particularly due to the game's setting and music, which can make the grind feel less burdensome. Overall, while the game offers a more laid-back alternative to traditional grinding in other titles, it may not appeal to those who dislike repetitive gameplay.
- “The upside is that you only need to craft something once, and it's unlocked forever, so I can say that it isn't as grindy as you might originally think.”
- “The gameplay is incredibly tedious and unfun.”
- “The gathering, crafting, and building is mind-bogglingly tedious (and this from someone who plays No Man's Sky!), and navigating the player character around the island is not intuitive at all.”
- “That said, the gameplay seems fairly fun; it's far more grindy than most games like it, so if grindy life sims are not your thing, your results may vary.”

monetization

The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with an 85% cash grab rating indicating that while the developers had potential, they ultimately failed to execute their vision, opting instead for a quick profit rather than delivering a polished experience.
- “Cash grab rating: 85% cash grab but good dev.”
- “The devs had something decent going, and they did nothing with it. High potential, no execution whatsoever. It's like they had a vision in mind and after they created the island, they were like, 'meh, I'm bored now, let's just release it as is for a quick cash grab and move onto the next fleeting thought.'”
stability
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Overall, users report minor stability issues, particularly with character interactions, such as NPCs struggling to keep up during hand-holding sequences, leading to awkward glitches. While these issues are not game-breaking, they suggest a need for updates to improve character responsiveness and prevent graphical anomalies.
- “And before anyone suggests it, no, I am not going to download the goddamn patch just to activate the no overlap complaint cheat, and from what I've heard, that gives insane graphical glitches anyway, so that is not something I want.”
- “There were a few very minor glitches in the game, like when you ask the girl to follow you, she will hold your hand, but as soon as you move, even as slowly as you possibly can in the game, she will let go because she can't keep up. Alternatively, she will try to keep holding your hand, and her arm will get slightly contorted before letting go and then chasing you to try to hold your hand again. An update to make her keep up with the player would be a quick and easy fix to this problem, which is something I have seen other developers successfully do in other games, like with the hand-holding in Fable 3.”
