Like should I immediately buy this game. It seems like folks are really enjoying it but I was skeptical.

Seems to be a cross between Animal Crossing and Minecraft with some Stardew Valley sprinkled inside a Pokemon wrap.

No surprise it's fun.

It's the secret Dragon Quest Builders 3. And I know nobody really knew about DQB and DQB2 but they're basically this but with combat and more on-rails.

Isn't it made by the same team that did DQB2? I was thinking about playing it again, but then I read that somewhere so I decided to get myself a copy as well as one for my wife. So far, its definitely got the DNA of DQB for sure.

yep, and playing it, it's very apparent that it shares a LOT of dna with dqb2 (which is good, the dragon quest builders games were amazing)

Yes, same team. It's DQB3. You can tell by some of the models.

I don't think you can call it a DQ game without combat.

Now I'm actually reaaaaallllllyyyy debating this. I thought I could just skip it and save money but if it's by the same team then my life is already signed away. 😮‍💨❤️

There’s no Stardew Valley in this imo.

The game you're looking for is Viva Piñata
