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.

Without Story of Seasons‘ multitude of small tasks to complete in a day to keep the pace moving, you wind up with a sim game where it feels like there’s not a lot to do-even if that’s not the case.No farming game would be complete without a customisable character, and Hokko Life is no different. Animal Crossing’s slow pace works because you have a real-time day to get things done, and it builds anticipation for the next day by making you wait. It takes the core ideas from Animal Crossing and Story of Seasons, and tries to mash them together in a way that doesn’t really work. Hokko Life definitely wants you to take it slow, and move at your own pace, but it doesn’t really provide new tasks with every new in-game day that makes for a satisfying sense of progression. I find this to be at odds with the game’s core design philosophy, which is so much inspired by Animal Crossing because the game moves at such an incredibly slow pace that I found myself very quickly losing interest. However, unlike Animal Crossing, Hokko Life doesn’t operate on a real-time clock, so players have a bit more freedom to move through the game and advance at the speed they wish. “There’s a distinct lack of personality that just makes the game feel completely lifeless…”
