It was an all round fantastic experience that I think left both of us even more excited for the next series release! And noticing which parts he seemed to really enjoy and which he found frustrating gave me an even better understanding of his gaming tastes and I think he got more of a glimpse into mine as well.

And I’m not gonna lie that felt kind of cool! Getting to see his reactions to various people and events made the game seem almost brand new to a veteran like me. It’s not often that when the two of us play a game together it’s me that has all the previous experience to share. I’ve played through Rune Factory 4 many times over the years but I have to say that this most recent play through has been my favorite. Even if farming simulation games are not something you really enjoy, I’d say this one might just be worth giving a try! So, absolutely! It comes with a high recommendation from me. The story isn’t terribly engaging but the wide variety of NPC personalities and places you have to explore make this game plenty captivating. The standard fare of farming and raising livestock is given the exceptional twist of growing things like giant crops, sword and shield flowers, and even dungeons in your own garden and befriending all the various monsters you encounter to help you with your farm and even join you in battle. It’s a very cute game with lots of things to do and see. Since I played the ever-loving garbage out of Rune Factory 4 many moons ago on the 3DS and he has never played it whatsoever, it was perfect for one of these double down reviews of ours! Yeah! You saw that really big WHAT just now! And that’s what this round of the Backlog Twosome is all about. Two backloggers, one review! One old and one new! We’ve removed Rune Factory 4 from our queue in this newest Backlog Two…some!Įverybody has a favorite video game right? Heck, most of us long-time gamers have a butt-ton of favorites! But is there one among your favorites that no matter how much you sing its praises no one seems to believe you? And of course by no one I mean your significant other, because really who else are you so passionately trying to convince to play with you? At least that was my plight! So, when Rune Factory 4 was re-released not only with a fancy deluxe physical edition, but also as a sparkly remastered port to the Switch, I knew I needed to own it! Oh yes! It would be mine….whenever I could find a spare $60 in the budget that is!īeing the gigantic enablers that we are here at the Backlog Odyssey household, Patrick bought it for me as a gift much to my surprise, and even more surprising than that, he wanted to play it together! WHAT!?
