I enjoyed Perfect Tides: Station to Station far more than I expected I would. It’s gritty, entertaining, and painfully relatable. It’s also very likely changed my opinion on point-and-clicks forever. For a simple, somewhat emotionally exhausting, story-oriented game, it definitely hits the mark. There are areas where I felt it could have been improved mechanics-wise, and I doubt I’d play through it again, but I do absolutely think it’s worth a try for anyone with an appreciation for storytelling, art, or comically large eyes.
Since the game is still in early access, I can’t comment on the ending of the main story in Fields of Mistria. So far, though, it’s just the mysterious, intriguing, and magical story you’d want from a fantasy farming sim. As a complete game, Fields of Mistria will absolutely rival others of its genre, and I’m very excited to see it finished. If you enjoyed Stardew Valley, Pokémon, Terraria, or essentially any other cozy game, I can’t recommend Fields of Mistria enough.
