I was initially looking for a cute and cozy farming simulator with casual and relaxing gameplay. SoP caught my attention with its colorful visuals so I decided to give it a try without paying much attention to the reviews. What to say, I like this game so far. There is obviously a lot to work on, but generally it is more than playable already now. At least it was enough for me to spend over 50 hours in it.

WHAT I LIKED:
+ Well-balanced economy. You will always earn enough coins to get all the needed upgrades and expand your farm.
+ I liked the fact that all the NPCs are completely different. Each one plays their own role in the life of the town. They also have personal traits and interests, likes and dislikes, which makes it a lot more realistic.
+ Many quests and occasional side activities like festivals, contests, fairs and so on will never make you bored and keep you busy throughout the in-game day.
+ Original relationship system that you unlock step by step by interacting with each NPC (helping with their quests, exploring ‘the inner world’, making gifts, going out on a date etc.).
+ Materials found outside your farm respawn pretty fast.
+ Vast transportational system with multiple Piggy express stations in and outside the town makes the gameplay much more comfortable.
+ Fishing is easy and fun, you don’t have to bother about different types of lures for different types of fishes like in some other games.
+ The design of nature, pets and buildings is colorful and pretty. The music is relaxing and unobtrusive.
+ You are able to skip the dialogues you are not interesting in.


WHAT I DISLIKED:
- Quite unattractive disproportionate NPC models (which I got used to eventually). I liked the clothing though.
- Multiple unnecessary animations unavailable for skipping, like riding an animal or getting out of the hot spring, will frustrate you occasionally.
- Random bugs following you like sudden hair disappearance, inability to cut a tree, Piggy express taking a false route on the map etc. Restarting the game fixes some of those, but not all.
- I really wish they would add more quest markers for better navigation. There are not that many guides for SoP and some quests take too much time to figure out.
- Poor and most likely automatic translation. There are also some separate NPC lines, windows or buttons that haven’t been translated at all and remain Chinese until today.
- Stamina consumption during mining, woodcutting, fishing and some other activities seems too fast to me. I mean, what’s the point in upgrading your tools to the max level? Should’ve at least reduced stamina consumption with that. Or, perhaps, make a hot spring restore stamina faster?
- I wish there were more customization options for the farm and the player’s house.

Overall, even though SoP definitely needs some crucial improvements, I can still recommend it to those who love casual farming and grinding games like I do. I really hope that there are more patches coming out later. As for now, I just enjoy a couple of hours at my farm every day which is a pleasant and relaxing experience – just as expected.

Что-то я не помню, чтобы в ваших Думах и Осу можно было из черепа стрелять по двадцатиметровой дохлой тетке под армянское IT’S THE END FOR THIS LIFELESS PARADISE!

10 Сержиков из 10, жаль этот шедевр недоступен на Спотифае, он буквально продал людям эту игру.

Качала игру ради Астариона, а хитрые сосонухи на разрабах запихнули его аж на 10 слот. Предательство уровня Древнего Рима, не меньше. Всего один хелпящий пет (которых, к слову, периодически раздают абсолютно бесплатно) превращает этот гений девелоперской мысли из душнейшего кликера в оголтелую многомесячную АФК-дрочuльню для потных любителей обмазываться большими циферками. Ставлю фоном во время работы: дамаг крутится - ачивки мутятся.

Как большой поклонник жанра симуляторов и ферм, я не могу порекомендовать данную игру от слова "совсем". При всем, казалось бы, разнообразии действий (готовка, уборка, садоводство, животноводство и т.д.), разработчики умудрились свести весь геймплей к нуднейшей и поистине невыносимой гриндилке, которая будет выдаивать из вас все соки на протяжении 90% игрового времени.
Большинство внутриигровых дней (которые ко всему прочему пролетают за несколько минут, ведь ваше кафе работает до 16:00!) будут одинаковы и унылы как день сурка. Какое-то время вы просто не будете иметь возможности двигаться дальше и улучшать ваше кафе, тем самым внося разнообразие в игровой процесс.
Баланс цен здесь просто отсутствует: вы всегда будете зарабатывать несоразмерно меньше, чем вам необходимо для всяких апгрейдов и прочего. Неудивительно, что ачив на 10к голды есть у мизерного количества игроков, ибо чтобы получить его, нужно отыграть в это цикличное, однообразное убожество несколько суток реального времени. А именно — тотально положить вообще на все улучшения и как бабка скрести по сусекам каждую копейку. Либо, наоборот, гриндить со скоростью полумертвой улитки, вкладываясь в развитие, чтобы спустя пару реальных недель ваше кафе наконец-то могло приносить вам хоть сколько-то достойные деньги.
Опыт точно так же капает несправедливо медленно, даже начальные левелы поднимаются в муках по крупицам. Таким образом, игра совершенно никак не поощряет ваш прогресс, как это обычно бывает в нормальных симуляторах.
Отдельного упоминания заслуживает бага, которую, судя по давности некоторых отзывов, даже не думают фиксить. Она заключается в том, что ваш персонаж периодически не взаимодействует с объектом с первого раза и тем самым вынуждает вас терять часть и без того короткого дня (посетители тупо устают ждать и уходят, т.е. вы теряете прибыль). Зачастую приходится прямо таки безбожно насиловать ЛКМ, просто чтобы персонаж среагировал на действие, и это не вызывает ничего иного, кроме как желание нажать Alt+F4 и сделать сальто-мортале из окна.
Словом, разработчики сделали все, чтобы искусственно растянуть ваше пребывание в игре и замедлить развитие кафе, откровенно наплевав на комфорт игроков и зарубив на корню первоначальную задумку. Откуда у Лимонного Торта столько положительных отзывов для меня навсегда останется загадкой. Получать удовольствие от такого издевательского проекта просто невозможно, поэтому, увы, это недоразумение отправляется на рефанд.

By the small details like Catherine's intro animation, real adopted cats' stories in predictions section and beautiful sayings like "The love of an animal can awake the most magical feelings inside of all of us", you can tell that this game was developed by passionate and ultimate cat lovers. The illustrations are extremely well designed and it's super fun to complete them as jigsaw puzzles. Very cute and heartwarming game, a must if you are a cat person.

This game is very relaxing and fun to play, totally worth the cost. I love how realistic and detail-oriented it is, from creating your own menu and recipes to full-cycle managing your cafe (employing, training staff, running marketing researches, budgeting and a lot more). The campaign missions are of the medium complexity and provide you with the detailed tutorials on how to successfully run your cafe. There are tons of indicators and factors you need to keep your eye on to earn enough money and make your business grow, which is amazing. The sandbox mode allows you to customize the conditions in which you are going to play (the budget, customer types, robbery etc.), so it is suitable for both chill and hardcore players. There is also a big room for player's creativity (coffee recipes, cafe interior & branding). If you want to experience what it is like to run your own business, you should definitely give this game a try!

Хорошая игрушка на внимание и просто для любителей котиков, своих денег стоит. Под конец правда уже глаза вытекать начали, но все равно очень понравилось :) На призрака аккуратно нажимайте, там скример на минималках. После первого прохождения открывается режим на время.

I cannot praise Larian Studios enough for this masterpiece. BG3 does not impose any rules, you as a player deside what you want to be and where you want to go. The world of Faerun is truly massive and full of challenge, it is always exciting to explore its every corner. The character designs are beyond all expectations, they feel so real, not just another scripted NPC which you were used to in other RPGs. You simply cannot remain indifferent to any of your companions as soon as you get to know them better through their personal quests. The soundtracks written by talented and absolute genius composer Borislav Slavov will never make you bored or irritated while exploring or battling. They will, in fact, bring you the most inspiring, peaceful and cozy gaming experience so far, especially if you are into the fantasy genre. Outstanding story line I wish I could forget just to experience it again like the first time. These guys are taking the entire RPG thing onto a whole new level and I freaking love it!
