Everyone's always hitting up my ask box going, "Hello, Reverend Wrath, what video games do you recommend I play?" and I mostly delete them because I'm a very private person and that sort of personal information is far too revealing, but on this, All Saint's Eve, I've got one for you all.

If you're into the sorta farming life simulation game that Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley are, I've been having a good deal of fun with Sun Haven, it's a somewhat more Fantasy twist than those two genre defining pillars (although of course hardly the first to do so), and I think they've done a very good and thoughtful job with the mechanics in terms of making the fun things rewarding and rewarding having fun. If you're into that sort of game, Sun Haven has the Rev. Wrath Seal of Approval

#Don't wanna spoil too much that's going on but one of the high level farming skills makes your animals happy #but has no mechanical benefit whatsoever it tells you that right up front you can just spend a skill point for your animals to be happy #It's also got a skill that gives you a little bit of gold per day per furniture in your house #Not enough that you'll wanna spam the cheapest thing to earn it but also enough that it overcomes the price based mental barrier for decor #Like in SDV I'd often put off doing any house decorating for a while so that I could get the money machine running quicker #And while that makes sense with the incentives there this helps skew them enough to change that behavior a bit #Which like don't get me wrong I could play the other way without incentives if I wanted obviously but it's nicer if the game has them #Just overall I think the skill trees and game design have well considered mechanical reinforcements for doing whatever you want to do #Like I don't have to take that decor skill point if I were more strongly inclined to decorate anyhow or alternatively less #Will say: when it comes to combat the magic route seems to definitely be the strongest #IMO #Also the premise is a lie just in case you weren't sure about that #Or as we in the biz call it 'a bit'
