hey Josh (I was am one of the Devs on the game), what a great review! You really understood our game, so happy you liked it.

The fact that you play through the characters entire life and play as their child makes me want to play on that premise alone.

This is why I'm subscribed to you, you do in depth, detailed reviews on games. You show footage of what you're talking about and even mention smaller details. I love that type of stuff. Appreciate the effort man.

thanks for the detailed review. I tried the early access and was overwhelmed and lost from the tutorial, but glad to see that the game improved a lot. I guess i'll try it again when i have free time

In depth review, kynseed seems very intimidating because of the wide range of things you can do. But I will give it a try, the progression of time and your children inheriting your progress sounds really good for a farming sim. Thanks for the review! Keep it upp : D

I’ve followed this game from when it was introduced on the Kynseed blog (I was intrigued with the art style) up to now. Haven’t had a chance to play it yet due to my huge backlog though but I’m definitely getting it! Thanks for the review Josh 😊

love the detail you get into this review! i appreciate especially the mention of button remapping and controller support, thats usually my main concern. i love the art style so much its unique and gorgeous! and how jampacked the gameplay is, im looking forward to playing it someday!

Thanks for this in depth review Josh!! I was only able to catch your stream for a little bit the other day.

Saw it was out, hadn't seen you make a vid when I checked your videos yesterday, then saw you had reviewed it now, thanks! :D Now, I will watch the video and see if it became anything like what they promised :P

very lovely and detailed review, I was on the fence but watched this and decided to get it 😊

I love that they have an accessibility menu, also the details for owning a shop. Like in rf4 I loved owning a shop but I wanted it to be more elaborate. Also the generation mechanic sounds amazing! I only know of awl that does this..and thats it? I hope other games explore it in the future

omfg this game is huge, thanks for a amazing honest review, i got this game years ago and didn’t touch since, but now i need to play it.

I've been following along with this game since the early days, so happy to see it finally out! I can't wait to play it

This game changed a lot way back on it's early access version. Kinda overwhelming compared to Stardew and the mini games are confusing at first try.. I even took a lot of ingame days just to finish the quest of buying seeds cuz the game won't tell you when you could buy seeds. But as soon as you get used to these you'll find yourself managing your daily routines cuz the time kinda move so fast.

Oh sweet! It’s finally out. Been following since backing on Kickstarter every few months. Been waiting for 1.0 to finally play.

This looks fun, but I am glad you warned us that characters were so bland. That's a big drawback for me.

I bought this in EA when it first came out, something I never do. Something about this seems special. Thank you for this deep indept look.

Great review! This game a surprising amount of depth and suits a variety of playstyles. Will definitely be picking this one up! ✊🏾

Thanks for the review!! I bought the game in early early access but couldn't play for long bc it was so early in development, but I'm going to go back to it now!!!

I have had this downloaded for a while, and this video is gonna make me do a new playthrough (after I finish Harvestella). Like how in depth this was!

Great review Josh, really like your reviews so keep them coming :) Cheers

Love your review. Sub'd and liked.

omg this looks amazing!!!!!!

So glad I discovered your content this year. Speaking of which, are you planning to do a favorites of the year video? There’s been quite a few cozy and farm sim games in 2022, would love to hear your overall thoughts and what stood out the most for you.

ty for this review, it looks so great! Have been following the game since it released in EA :D

This seems really interesting. I’m probably gonna check it out

I bought this game way back and I'm glad it's finally fully released! I'll have to try it out now, but it's always been a bit overwhelming lol.

Wow, very helpfull! Thnx!

@Josh's Gaming Garden To cut herbs after the first few chops just hold Left Mouse Button and move it left and right, it will then finalize cutting the small bits. It's actually part of the game mechanic. edit: Same thing for controllers, just hold the action button and move left analog left and right.

Got this today! 👀 I remember watching this but I forget what are the tips since I do not have the game before! I believe most of these are still applicable! So lovely to revisit these tips and tricks after the BIG update! Thank you so much!!

I really appreciate your very detailed and instructive review videos, and the new channel name. With so much content, I would most certainly like this game if it were not for the pixel art. These pixel art games are definitely not for me as my numerous false starts in Stardew Valley or Sun Haven (never more than a few hours each time) are proof, while I’ve hundreds of hours in Coral Island, Dreamlight Valley, the My time series or even Pumpkin Days (I guess one of my favourite), to name a few. Keep up the great work.

I took a sneak peak at the full release on release day and decided I will start playing it again in the near future :)

Oh, I remember you showing this game before. It looks fun, I wanted to try it haha.

So Josh a tip for the herbs, that knife is a special mezzaluna knife, so pulverize the herbs when big and when they get chopped into smaller piece keep the knife on the board and slide it from side to side(kinda like a rocking chair) this will cover more area for slicing rather than using the small mid point of the knife. Anyways super happy you gave the game some attention, I do agree with the conversations being somewhat bland(aside from reaching a new heart level), only a couple lines of marriage dialogue but in general felt like marrying anyone didn't make much difference. Game def has some bugs but the team has been cranking out patches for fixes to try and smooth out gameplay and since your review they have made some QoL changes like not needing to go into the menu everytime to plant a seed and now works almost like Stardew's planting.

Wow what a great review! I bought this game in EA and am excited to start now that it is releleased.

wow you changed your youtube name, i love it!!!

i just bought it just now because if your review!

i've been debating on whether to get this game or not but this review was really thorough and convincing, so thank you!

Holy what a great game to start a new year 😍

I'm buying this game after work today!!

this game looks beautiful!

Thanks to you I bought this game... I saw your stream last time and I couldnt hold myself back. I love this game so far and Im totally addicted. But yes, unfortunately I also think that the characters are super blend and boring after a time... Thanks for the review Josh !

I’ll definitely be buying if it comes to switch or iOS (with controller compatibility)

I invested in this game when I heard about it years ago. I’ve been waiting for the full release to properly enjoy it 😊somewhere out there is a fairy named Virgil 😂 (that was from the investment)

I really thought this game was dead and wouldn't release. Ty for this video I'm totally going to buy this, it looks great!

Wow it looks really good

J'ai trouvé un qc "in the wild"! 👀 Thanks for the video though, just tried out the game and I'm loving it so far.

Hope this will be on the switch sometime soon!

this game iss sooo good, i bought it literally the second i finish your video

Great review, thanks for all the details. Was feeling kinda bored with the prologue of the game, and wanted to see more to know if I want to keep playing.

I really hope this comes to the switch one day.

Switch release?

Omg the amount of stuff they included is 😳

Ugh all the games I’m interested in are on steam. I wish similar games would roll out quicker for switch.

This game looks calm and enjoyable

"Even the main character looks a little bit like a mess" 🤣🤣How relatable. Thanks for the great review!

I am unsure if anyone has talked about this, but you can place seeds in a quick slot and plant from there.

I like protection offering.

ah, i love this game! i bought it not too long ago and it’s fun, but sometimes the controls really confused me at first 😅😅

I'm curious about how fast the days go, because I find myself very stressed by how fast days go in other games like this. Is there enough time each day?

Thank you for the detailed review, i was looking forward to this game but, honestly it just feels too complicated and i don't like the appearance of the npcs, so i guess unfortunately i'll just skip this one...

Is it available on the switch or only steam ?

I would love to play this game but I either need to buy a new laptop as mine is busted or wait and see if it becomes available on the Switch

Can't you auto cook or something when you have made a dish?

if only I could play it on my Steam Deck :( I bought it but the text is too small to read.

Will this br available on switch?

Is there a news for switch release?

Does this work on steam deck?

Definitely looks interesting, but I've been broke for awhile now cause life has gotten more difficult. But still managing, anyway I like playing life sims when I need a break from visually intense games or just to relax after a stressful day

How long is a lifetime in-game - typically? I wonder how many hours I can expect from this game. Would playing 20 years be fun? Is there enough to do to fill out those 20 years?

one thing i have to ask... how do you level up your reputation? ive been stuck at 500/500 for awhile and the game (as far as i know) never tells you how to level it up.

Any plans this coming to switch?

I want it on switch!!!

Big fan of Stardew Valley so I may have to give this a try!

I don't know what it is about this game but I've never managed to make it out of the prologue

Fable is a fun game series, but until the reboot, it really is just 3 different shots on the same target, none of them quite hitting the bullseye. A lack of depth was the main thing I noticed in fable, so to hear that this system is more involved than just "Collect money while your xbox is offline" is really satisfying to hear.

Honestly I would have loved the game and enjoyed playing through all of it if it wasn't SO big, overwhelming and confusing. I got lost all the time, everything seemed to look so similar, but that might be a mix of the artstyle and my poor orientation. I couldn't do anything without this little fairy showing me the way I had to go. Plus the language barrier was just too high. English is not my native language and I failed to understand enough despite me playing most games in English and being just fine. I played around 19 hrs before ultimately giving up. I could totally see myself trying this game again as soon as there is a German translation! I LOVE all the minigames and that it is not just too easy. The cooking is so cool, the smithing is a lot of fun and I could see myself playing for hours and hours if I just understood enough about what was going on.

I l have tried this game twice in early access and was pretty overwhelmed. The controls were annoying. I can’t wait to try it again!! ALSO, I want it on Switch

i will wait this game ported to switch 😊

"Overwhelm - the game" should be the name of this game ;x

Damn thats... A LOT. But still make me interested lol

Looks a lot like stardew valley. I love stardew valley I might check it out

Whats the name of this game?

I bought this game based on your recommendation, it has been the first farming sim I’ve gotten hooked on since Stardew Valley! Hopefully they will add additional content for designing your characters to make them more “cute”! Unnecessary, but would totally appeal to us users who enjoy character creation!

Wish it was on Switch and I also wish the characters were customisable… ;c

I got it in really, really Early Access and it wasn't playable. It was more of a prototype. I felt kinda ripped off, ngl. Maybe I'll give it another try, I already own it and it looks okay now.

Reminds me a lot of Stardew Valley

I felt overwhelmed by "Stardew Valley" (and so damn frustrated with the fishing mechanic!), though I loved a more chill game, like "Littlewood" and "World's Dawn". Do you have any insight as to which way "Kynseed" compares to "Stardew Valley" (which is what it resembles the most)?

My ears perked up when you said, "Daily offering to the bronies."

The lack of character customization and bland NPCs are a huge drawback for me. I bought it in early access because I love the idea, but am hoping some mods or updates come to touch up on those parts it missed the mark on.

Ah yes finally I can do what I can't do in real life like marrying and starting a family

am so use to the games forcing you to pass out didnt even realize you could just stay up

Love the environment designs, the tree and shrubs looks gorgeous but I can’t stand the characters and portraits designs!

Remember these devs decided to silence the r4pe incident from their main music composer against a female coworker.

is fantasy life sim?

they copyright your music for the game??? how are people supposed to stream / post gameplay of the game LOL thats... odd?

This was already in development when I started my study and been with my girlfriend for a year. I'm now married, have a child and running a business. Wth

I wish it had Story of Seasons style graphics. I'm not into pixel art personally. Other than that it looks like a great game with ageing, inheritance and all that cool mechanic. Great review, thanks!

wut? i just played this game like two or three months ago and it already looks like a completely different game. o_O

Thanks for the review. Game looks fun if that's what you're into, but that npcs having zero personality or depth kind of killed it for me so I won't be getting it.
