We’ve just had a plethora of great games coming out of 2022, with new games on the way for another year. I didn’t expect to get into this — how did it happen? Was it a capitalist duck? A mermaid princess who is strangely cooperative with fishing? Or was it the magic of all these faces rolled into one game of his?
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available in early access with Xbox Game Pass for 3+ months. It’s set to be released entirely as a free-to-play game later this year, but judging by the fact that one of its achievements can only be unlocked by building 30 homes for your friends, that number currently stands at less than half that. Villagers with buildable houses available (the game already has some updates adding new characters, but they don’t come with all buildable houses), at the full launch of the game It’s safe to say there’s still a way to go. So why am I still playing? First of all, Disney Dreamlight Valley has so much content already available in the game in Early Access (especially if you play it in a more relaxed way).This is one great thing, but Disney Dreamlight Valley has more correctThe Disney characters themselves evoke childhood nostalgia, and any project involving them will simply engage players. , and combined with a growing roster of shiny Disney pals waiting for you to hang out, Disney Dreamlight Valley promises to keep me hooked for some time. Disney Dreamlight Valley is not without its problems. Being an early access game, it contains quite a few bugs. And depending on how you feel about the tougher aspects of the game, it could be stale too. In Disney Dreamlight Valley, the valley itself suffers from the effects of oblivion. This causes the inhabitants to lose their memories and are scattered across different areas and biomes of the game, with valleys overgrown with night thorns. Naturally, rebuilding and revitalizing the Valley will require a lot of building and resource gathering. In other words, if we waited for Scrooge to act out of kindness, we would be in oblivion forever. I have a pile of money. Being the only shop that sells cosmetics clearly means that Scrooge has a monopoly on the finances of the valley, and can freely take 20,000 Star Coins for a skirt and 40,000 Star Coins for a dress without fear of repercussions. can be billed. And it’s not just him. Some characters — cough *minnie* cough — have no problem with quests demanding so many resources without having to design themselves to lift a finger, making valleys fun while lifting heavy things. go for a walk.
Again, why do we love Disney Dreamlight Valley? Well, it clearly looked at how it was done in other games and decided to make some improvements. Like most Animal Crossing games, Disney Dreamlight Valley runs in real-time. Unlike AC Games, Dreamlight Valley doesn’t close stores for long periods of time. Scrooge is a money-hungry McDuck who keeps his shop open all night and Goofy shows up at the market stall when he needs it. Sure, characters sometimes fall asleep. That means you can’t access the house or wake up (Christophe, why always you?), but this isn’t a big bugbear yet. We no longer have to live in eternal darkness. And unlike modern AC games, the tools don’t break. Let me repeat — it’s a tool! Don’t! break down! You’ll need to upgrade them before tackling major obstacles in different biomes, but at least you can go gardening, fishing, and mining without worry. so you can immediately continue what you were doing. You also don’t have to pay to move buildings around (don’t tell Scrooge this is any other game), so you can decorate and customize the valley to your heart’s content.
Another handy feature is that you can plant and harvest multiple crops at once by pressing and holding a single button while gardening. , but still a useful addition. Additionally, one aspect of Dreamlight Valley’s life sims is the ability to invite and tag characters. They have 10 levels of friendship, and you can level these up by doing activities in the valley, but if you choose a specific specialty they can help you with (such as fishing or mining), they will While helping with it, much faster—and they’ll also find bonus items. You can earn extra coins by selling bonus crops that you grow. On the other hand, you can catch more rare fish by observing different colored bubbles in valley pools and rivers, but in keeping with the laid-back atmosphere of Dreamlight Valley, fishing is much more relaxed in this game. If you don’t catch the fish the first time, just wait to try again.
The characters themselves are clearly the game’s big draw. It takes a bit of logical acrobatics to explain how some of these heroes and villainous foes are chilling together in the valley, but you can still see them walking around and interacting with each other. It’s a kick to see. For example, it’s a little weird to see Ariel and Ursula swimming peacefully together, but it’s fun to see Ursula pounce on Merlin. If you’re talking about, listen to me. When you take out your fishing rod, any nearby character will rush to look at you, even if you’re not playing with them. While this is great in theory, it’s a bit annoying to see Ariel beaming and clapping as she pulls one of her fish buddies out of the water. — One of her biggest motivations in her films is the desire to explore and sail beyond the horizon. teeth no horizon. As she sails far in Disney’s Dreamlight Her Valley, she jumps over the edge of a waterfall to an entirely different ending. And Lemmy — that cheeky little rodent is the smallest character in the game, but he still demands the biggest home. A huge multi-level townhouse above the restaurant he had already requested. Merlin doesn’t even have a kitchen, but sure, rats can have the best real estate. Hear their theme song playing in the background as they follow you to harvest crops and mine gems, chatting about their personalities and stories. Themed rewards are offered as you level up your friendships, such as decorations and clothing. You can also add a nice social element to your game and give back gifts.
About the characters: Ursula did a terrible thing. really should be condemned. Still, this isn’t what makes her the biggest villain in Disney Dreamlight Valley. No, it’s the fact that she knows I want her, sits on the shore, waits until I’m close enough to speak, then swims far away. And Ariel — one of the biomes There are 3 small ponds very close to each other and it’s like trying to talk to her while playing Whack-A-Mole. She disappears and she only hangs around in one pond before jumping out into another. Moana, Anna, Elsa and Merlin are one of my favorite companion girlfriends and we all know Wally does no wrong. It’s great to see them all living together in the canyon and to see them all work there to make them feel at home, and the nostalgic magic of this effect is one of the game’s greatest strengths. am.
Another plus is how much you can decorate the valley and customize its layout. Create new structures, find more cosmetics, and set everything to your liking. There’s also a fair amount of free rein when it comes to designing clothes, and many Disney players in his Dreamlight Valley have already made pieces that could put Scrooge out of business. There are different types of biomes to suit each character, from snowy highlands to sun-baked plains. Completing quests in addition to social elements and farming, crafting, and cooking makes for a very fun gameplay he loops as you can switch between what you do depending on your mood. It’s all complicated by the fact that you’re surrounded by cozy and friendly faces, making it the perfect place for a fun, laid-back experience. You’ll be wandering the valley for a while, especially when new characters are added. Someone may rise to end Scrooge’s reign…
