Delayed for perfection, this game’s a gem. Fantasy Light might just pay the debt of actual player choice that bland farming sims have accumulated in 2023. 

In Fantasy Life, you can choose your dream occupation: chef, fisherman, or even a farmer. The narrative will then be woven around your job. It also comes with island-building akin to Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

2. Momento
