 It is time for another played lately and lately I have played cosy games and when we say cosy games I suppose we mean life simulators games that are inherently cosy and these titles that I'm going to talk about in this video they are cosy. So after making that Atelier tier list video that I made last on my channel thank you guys for watching that that was so fun to make after making that video guess what I did. I restarted Lulua but more importantly I restarted Lydia and Suell and I haven't played through Lydia and Suell in so many years it was probably 2019 last time I played it. Going back to it starting fresh starting all over again there were so many things that I had forgotten in the story and I had forgotten a ton of the smaller stories regarding all of the characters in the game and it was almost like the game was a new game now all over again after a few years that can happen sometimes when you go back to a game that you haven't played in years like this one and I don't know what it is but I feel like it is better than I remember and I remember it being really good but now I'm having such a fun time playing this again where you play these two girls you can control either one of them and I know I have been talking about this game a lot on my channel but now I'm sort of surprising myself all over again with actually properly going into it and do it all from start to finish all over again and actually now I would put this game in S tier I just had forgotten a lot and I think now going back to it that it is a really well balanced game still recommend that anyways that was just a quick side note I have played recently a game that's called Alba I've had it on my wishlist for a very long time and now I had my birthday and my sister bought an eshop card from my store actually eshagaming.com I forget mentioning that I have a store where you can purchase a nintendo eshop credit cards and right now I think I have a discount code actually I'm gonna have that in the pinned comment down below if I have currently a discount code you support my channel if you purchase your eshop cards on there just so you know anyways I got a eshop card from my sister pretty big one actually so I bought a lot of games that I had on my wishlist and like now is the time so Alba was one of them and it is a game where you play a girl taking pictures of a wildlife on an island the graphics are sort of simple but still they work it is very relaxing and it's just such a chill game there's nothing that's going to stress you out with this game there are NPCs and it's very wholesome and the island has several regions with the animals and bird species that you can take pictures of so it's sort of like you are collecting the species that are living on the island into your little book that's the game it wasn't expensive bought it on sale though it's a small game not the biggest game in the world but it is absolutely worth having a look at cute worth mentioning now another game that I have just started and I also bought this with the eshop card no place like home it's called switch up did a big review I watched that and they got further into the game than I did I have just started it so actually I have no opinion so far except for it is really satisfying to clean up your farm in the beginning hours of the game after that however I lost interest sort of thing but I will play it a bit more actually because I heard from some people that the further you get into the game the more satisfying and good it's gonna be but I don't know and yeah what do you think of no place like home also like a live sim crafting building relaxing game these days I actually played it on pc a year ago I want to say but now it has been ported to the switch worth having a look at also but guys most of all for the past weeks I have been playing a game that was released months ago but it went by me just like I don't know I don't know why I didn't pick it up back in the day back in the day I mean a few weeks months ago but I'm talking about wild flowers and it's spelled like wild flowers and I do follow a few youtubers that has been talking about this game why haven't I picked it up until now anyways I picked it up and I am not regretting my choices in life I've been playing that for the past couple of weeks it is a full on live simulator where you play as Tara a girl coming from the city moving in with her old grandma to this small island community type of place to help her out with the farm but also to escape the city life because she lost her job her fiance left her and the lease on the apartment went out something like a tragic backstory anyways so she moved in with her grandma to help her out because she's old and she's a widow too many folks take the easy way out these days now wild flowers it plays just like stodgy valley story of seasons and or any other traditional live simulator where as you do all of the things that you are familiar with such as tending to your farm growing crops going fishing going mining getting to know the town's people giving them gifts increasing their friendship level with you getting to know their stories walk around there is a day and night cycle the whole shebang and I have really grown to enjoy and like the residents of this island so far I feel like I've gotten to know most of them now they are so diverse and they are so unique but maybe most of all they're all so well voice acted that I feel a stronger connection to these residents in this game in particular because of the strong voice acting and you know what every single line in this game is voice acted that makes it so much more believable what they're saying and I feel like everyone has such a unique storyline every single one of them and maybe what makes wildflowers different from most other farming sims or live simulators that I can think of is that the people's stories they touch in on such dark themes and this put me so off we don't often see this happening in live simulators or cozy games I feel like but there are tragic themes to these stories which makes sense and is both more believable and realistic and the themes of the story they can be sort of like becoming a widow at a young age stories about not feeling like you fit in stories like life turning out not the way that you thought it would cancer among other things finding dating to be difficult these topics that they're talking about and experiencing and telling me about and you know it's unique it's like the topics of conversation they are on a much deeper level than I'm used to like for example story of seasons where every single villager just said ah the weather is nice there's just much more depth in the story lines in the wildflowers but my mind's as sharp as a mmm I is sharp as a attack don't interrupt other than that in this game you chop down trees you shop for seeds you do cooking you create work stations you can actually do a tiny bit of synthesis oh my god it is a game that is very easy to understand I would recommend this game to anyone that likes games in this genre stodger valley animal crossing the cozy genre if that is a genre and I just highly recommend the wildflower so far there are lots of things to do and collect lots of side quests and there is even achievements in this game and like I said it has a day and night cycle and weekdays like Monday Tuesday Wednesday you can also find a romantic partner but I don't like any of the options that I have as a romantic partner I don't like any of the candidates you know what the NPC that I do like he's taken and it's just the best NPC in the entire village he's taken but I heard that their relationship is not doing well you see there's so much gossip in this town also the villagers are talking gossip and you're talking about each other all the time and I'm like yeah mm-hmm I am living in this place actually it's really like drawing you in there is a stamina bar that decreases when you do things like mining and working the farm and it decreases rather fast I mean if you're planning on going into the mine and do a solid amount of mining I recommend that you bring with you some food some stamina recovering food or else you'll get nowhere I found a tiny bit of performance issues uh but that was only when it was raining otherwise I think the game performs good and looks good and looks sharp for the most part you can have your day speed at relaxed normal and challenging and you know sometimes you need to speed up the day because uh later in the game or midway in the game with the main story anyway there is a place at night where you have to wait until it is night time to do the some questing and stuff so then I speed up my day speed to challenging and if I'm going into the mine and I have a plan for the day I put it down to relaxed so that I don't feel like I am in a rush I am enjoying my time in this game so much I am immersed and I feel like I am losing track of real time in real life when I'm playing wildflowers and this game has impressed me I wish there were a character customization that I could customize my main character but you are playing as Tara this is the character it's sort of like the witcher you're playing as Tara there is no character customization unfortunately which I would prefer to be honest with you I wish also that it was possible to enter people's homes which you cannot do not as far as I know you can just walk up to the door and it's closed now I can see myself sinking a ton of hours into wildflowers I already have but I can see myself playing this way more and this is the type of game where you could easily crack a hundred hours I feel like now I want to know what you have been playing lately on your search and I want to know what you think of wildflowers because I just recently now a couple of weeks ago discovered it and I'm having such a fun time I feel like not enough people are talking about this game so I thought I would bring it to your attention also I recommend it and I definitely recommend it if you're into the aforementioned games like soju valley and story of seasons maybe even ruin factory but there are no fighting in this game anyways thank you so much for watching join the discord and listen to this grisk it's there I think yeah I will see you later there's a blog coming pretty soon so stay tuned I think it's because they're Dutch oh is Lena Dutch um no Norwegian but that's kind of close right not even remotely you're funny
