What players say

92% of 29,144 reviews are positive · 81% of 99 in the last 30 days

Players praise the relaxed mix of town building, gathering, farming, fishing, and exploration, as well as the Australian theme. The most common complaints concern online co-op: players report disconnections that erase a guest's current day's progress, along with progression and town decisions centered on the host.
