Hokko Life offers all that those will be familiar with in the genre. If you have not been fortunate to dive into Animal Crossing then this might be a good alternative to visit. It reminds me more of the earlier version of Animal Crossing than its newer successor, but nevertheless the inspiration is certainly there.

It’s clear the game’s inspiration is taken from Animal Crossing with furniture building and a large focus on helping your villagers. If it is not the latter, then this would be a great starter farming simulator for anyone who has never jumped in and could feel overwhelmed by a front loaded bunch of tasks that other games can offer in the beginning of their games. This could be for many reasons, and also could be a product of my game needing an update.

It is a slow burn before really kicking off with the fun. One overarching theme I noticed now over 14 hours in, is the pace. Depending on season or location, there will be different series’ of these to collect. Collectables are largely in the form of either fish or butterflies. They stat by Introducing you to gathering resources, building your own furniture and getting accustomed to the different menus available for inventory, tasks, and collectibles. Starting off slow, characters will take you under their wing to show you some of the ropes of Hokko Life. It also should be known that another significant day one update is on the way. As that is the game you will be experiencing.

Important Note before diving in: I think it is only fair for me to mostly talk about the things I experienced post an update, which was about 8 hours into my gameplay. Do I kind of wish there was an option to be a colourful teddy bear like my neighbours? Sure, but this is fine too. Your character allows for customisable features including hair, skin colour, eyes and even freckles to put your own individual mark on the protagonist. No farming game would be complete without a customisable character, and Hokko Life is no different.
