I've been meaning to start it for years now, but I'm actually kind of intimidated by it at this point.
It's among the least intimidating games I ever played. You statt super simple and progress at your own pace. At any time you have different things you can do but you're free to focus on what you enjoy most.
Now you can optinize and rush certain rewards etc. But for the first playthrough just do whatever looks cool. It's such a fun game.
Guess I talked myself into another playthrough.
I played it with my kids in coop mode.
What's great is the progression system. You start very poor, having to cut wood, with nowhere to go that far. The areas and what you can do unfold themselves step by step.
I also played with my kids on lan, and they love it. Had to discipline them a bit to water the plants 😀
Can only play 2 players at once though right?
Up to four in split screen. We played it with my two kids in couch coop. We where three in split screen. Each player has one house. The money is shared, so I was working to get money, while my kids were exploring and having fun.
I don't remember exactly but one player is mandatory (the one starting the "save"/"world"), then the three others are optional. However you don't want to play a lot without the other characters since they will not progress (the more you do something with one character like cutting wood, the easier it is for this character).
Up to 8 players in the 1.6 update
It starts off slow but by the second year you need the wiki open on a second screen, mainly to know when and where certain fish show up.
