Lonesome Village is an enjoyable game to play, but it is not without flaw. I think the team set out with a goal, and wanted to make sure that anyone who picked up the game would experience all it had to offer. As a result, it lost some of what makes a life-simulator unique in exchange for not allowing players to miss the things they worked hard on. At the end of the day, Lonesome Village is a puzzle game and not entirely much else. If you’re looking for what essentially is a Legend of Zelda game without combat, I recommend you give Lonesome Village a try. However, if you’ve run Stardew Valley dry and you’re looking for something similar, you’re unfortunately out of luck here.
