I'll be able to provide some notes shortly! - Z-Gamer Guys (talk) 02:45, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
First review
I think there are some details that can be expanded further in certain areas. For the gameplay in particular, I thought the section was a bit short, so I looked at some of the sources myself to see what could be added. You don't need to respond to these individually, but I think they should be added to address the main aspects of the game. Once you think enough of these issues have been addressed, I'll check the article again.
Gameplay
- None of the farming mechanics are detailed. What can the player do on this unused farm?
- What is the "cozy rating" or "cozy level"? I feel this should be mentioned.
- Mentioning the player attributes that are affected by house customization, such as health, energy, and mana.
- Does combat take place away from the farm? If so, where?
- How do you progress in the game? I see mentions of dungeon-crawling mechanics and levels being unlocked.
- Wayshrines allow the player to teleport anywhere on the map.
- Are NPCs on the farm?
- How do you craft items, and where do you get the resources from?
- Players have stamina and replenish them with orbs found on the map.
- What are the enemies or hazards present on the island that can start combat?
- What is customizable in the character creator?
- What are any notable locations on the map?
- What are the key tools the player can use at all times?
- Do you earn experience points? How?
- How do combat interactions work with enemies?
Development
- Change the heading to "Development and release" for accuracy.
- The platforms it released (besides the Nintendo Switch) are not mentioned aside from the infobox. Be sure to list them and their release date.
Reception
- Not to say I think the reception is small either, but given this game has a lot more reliable reviews than just the ones used in this article, I think it could be easily expanded. It would also help verify more claims attributed to multiple critics. Obviously, you don't have to use all of these, but they may give you some inspiration on what the general consensus was. I'll list a few of them here.
- English sources: Pocket Tactics, Checkpoint Gaming, Gfinity Esports, Nintendo World Report, Siliconera, Shacknews,
- Non-English sources: 4P, The Games Machine, Multiplayer.it, MeriStation, PC Games
- Also be sure to add the reviews to the video game reviews template.
Replies
- Hi Z-Gamer, I would like to note that I do not have the full edition of the game as it costs me £38 (roughly $60, the price for Animal Crossing, and as pointed out in the article since since TouchArcade rarely comments on game prices) although I do have the free demo version on my Switch. At least I do have the much-more-popular Stardew Valley (which is also currently under GAN, though not nominated by me), which this game has lots in common with Fae Farm. Needless to say, I'm really busy IRL (and I also have a GAN to review) so please give me at least a couple of weeks for me to improve this. JuniperChill (talk) 17:55, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
- No problem! Be sure to take your time. Also, I should mention that you never NEED to get the game or other product to write a good article about it, especially since all of the gameplay elements and reviews should source their information directly from other articles. Give me a ping whenever you're ready! - Z-Gamer Guys (talk) 04:53, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hi again, I have addressed (at least) some comments, such as the farming mechanic, the cozy rating, changing the development heading, and adding a source from Pocket Tactics. I have also finished reviewing Claire Foy. However, I suddenly realised that I need to be out of the house almost every day of the week due to work, appointments so I may not have time to do major edits. I hope to have time making major edits on this Thursday/Saturday. I wasn't at work until 2025. JuniperChill (talk) 21:07, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Z-Gamer Guys ping per above. Note that I'm still really busy. JuniperChill (talk) 01:04, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
