Kynseed Reviews

Enjoyable and fun game! I really love the family progression aspects of it and the combat. It's a fun mix of different game modes (store management, combat progression, exploring, farming, etc.) which makes it easier to customize to how you want to play.

I really love this game. Alot of people would say this is a farming game but i have to say, I dont really farm in Kynseed. You can do so much more here. Explore, fight, build relationships and in the end be the monopoly man and control the whole economy of the vale. Build your legacy and continue to play with your children if you want. Of course you can also farm, customize your home and just have fun. So if that sounds good to you, buy the game and enjoy.

This game has surpassed my expectations. For any Fable lover, the constant references are absolute gold. And I imagine the lesser known reference to The Wicker Man had was a crazy twist I had not been expecting, my jaw was on the floor. A bit of a slow start, but worth it. If you like any of the Stardew, Harvest Moon, or Story of Seasons titles, this is probably going to be right up your alley. I hope this game gets the recognition it deserves.

This is a temporary review. I will most likely update it as I continue to play through Kynseed. While it is easy to draw an initial comparison between this and, say, Stardew, this is not Stardew. Stardew was a cutesy farming simulator, where you produced a lot mayo and a lot of anxiety. As for Kynseed, I've only made it to the end of the first year--and while there is certainly a twist right out of an Ari Aster film, Kynseed otherwise presents itself more as a chill townlife simulator, where you grow up, make friends, and do jobs to make money, with each job having its own little minigame. Maybe I'll be a blacksmith. Maybe I'll be a cook. Or maybe I'll just grind out the forests for materials--'cause the combat is waaaaay more than I expected. Who knows. For now, though, as it's right after midnight for me writing this, I'm going to go to sleep and hope I don't dream of Fairweather.

Hog Rider and Gnome Gambling. Wish your SO had more specific dialogue instead of the generic one most of the time. Also, being able to kiss them (even if it would be just on your wedding) would be nice.

If you could package "relaxation" or "peace" and sell it, it would look like this game. The world takes you in with it's whimsical story and brings you back to days when the world was new to you and magic was hidden around every corner and in every interaction. The pixel art of the game is beautiful and it's one of the few games I can write a review to without a major "but" that holds the game back. My biggest complaint is that there's not enough game, and that usually means it's a really good game

I've played this since the very early stages of early acces and, at this point, this game has become one of my favorite comfort games. It's just something about it that makes me feel good, and I can easily get lost in it for hours on end.

I'm really enjoying this game. I've put about 30 hours into it, and I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what I can unlock. There are still unexplored areas of the map. If you're looking for an open ended cozy game where you can collect and unlock all the things, you'll appreciate this game. There are also fun mini games for cooking, smithing, and potion brewing. The character writing isn't very deep, but I've stumbled on a few very funny bits when unlocking new friendship levels with villagers. If you're looking for Stardew level relationship building, you're not going to find it here. My biggest peeve in the game is that parts are not explained very well, and I find myself going to the wiki for answers. Sometimes the answers aren't in the wiki. I also don't like the combat, so I've largely been ignoring that to the dismay of all the missing villagers and children. Hahah.

First. I don't enjoy Stardew Valley. I really don't. It's too grindy and repetitive. But I saw a friend playing this, and on their recommendation, got it. Now.... now I hope this gets even more, even if it's a new game with even better stuff. The best way I can describe it: Stardew + Midsommar + Fae. And it is a BLAST. I feel like it keeps surprising me. You can own shops, cook, make alchemy items, blacksmith, romance, marry, divorce, repeat, and so on. There is enough variation that it keeps me interested. My biggest complaint is probably combat. It's really the only thing that frustrates me, but if you can move past that, then it's an absolute treasure. Also.. would totally smash Fairweather.

I'm obsessed with farming/simulation games. All the way back to harvest moon, rune factory, animal crossing, stardew valley, my time at portia/sandrock, cult of the lamb - if it has cows and sheep, I'll give it a try. Most games in this genre do not have a strong story, and have very simple combat if they have any combat at all. It's an egregious lack that I've been chasing ever since Rune Factory let me kaiju battle my way to master farmer. Yes, give me cozy, but also let me have fun playing a game! This game? Kynseed? This game RULES. I didn't take it seriously at first, until I beat the tutorial and got my ass handed to me by a freakin' level 2 goblin... thing. The combat in this game is complex, and really fun! The characters are interesting, and the overarching storyline has me guessing like none of these games have in the past. What the HECK is going on? Why am I an orphan? What do the fey creatures want from me, and how do they relate to these goddesses that rule humanity with an iron fist? Where do all of these magical portals lead to?! It's a mystery, with some great tongue-in-cheek humor, as you discover more about this crazy world. I haven't even opened up the entirety of the map, or gotten married, but this game has me hooked, and I think you should give it a try - if you also like games with cows and sheep.
