Haven't tried the game yet, but mostly because the gameplay videos I watched and the overall concept remind me enormously of the Harvest Moon series (and spinoffs and fan-remakes), which gave me an urge to resume my latest save of Rune Factory 3.
Note: Most Harvest Moon games are peaceful; the Rune Factory spinoffs are not - at least, not entirely. There's combat, though the storyline / dialogue insists upon the fact that nothing you "beat" actually dies... this doesn't change the fact that you're beating up monsters until they disappear, from a gameplay and visual standpoint).
TL;DR: Harvest Moon seems similar to this, and is generally single-player, and has a fixed storyline, so they've got much less potential for long-term time-wasting.
This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. I find that exposure to LW ideas makes me less likely to enjoy some entertainment media that is otherwise quite popular, and finding media recommended by LWers is a good way to mitigate this. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing!
