Sakuna is not a game about hitting the ground a winner. It's an incredibly rewarding experience if you allow it to be. But over time, you will learn and you will get better and you will discover new things to make yourself even stronger, build better weapons and tools and skills.
#RUNE FACTORY 2 RICE HOW TO#
Similarly, you're thrown into the game with about as much a clue as she has about how to get stuff done. She's a spoiled brat, told to go tame an island of demons with no idea how to survive. You will initially be lost because Sakuna herself is initially lost. Put aside your min/maxing for a spell and experiment, figure out how things work or hunt down scrolls that give you what you need to know. While you can easily go out and wiki the game to hell, its design is deliberate and entirely about learning and growing organically as a character and as a player. The best part, however, is that the game hardly tells you how to go about this. Everything you do inevitably leads to increasing Sakuna's stats.
#RUNE FACTORY 2 RICE FULL#
You cannot survive unless you ensure your belly is full and you're eating the right stat-boosting dinners every night with the very components you just hunted for. You cannot have a successful farm unless you're out there gathering the right stuff for fertilizer and tending to the weeds. You cannot succeed at the action without a successful farm. That's how deeply-integrated all of its parts are. Nothing that you do in this game is a waste of time even if it may be time-consuming. And the best part is that one cannot exist without the other in Sakuna. Yet however silly that may sound, it's like the discovery of mixing peanut butter and chocolate together. At its heart, the game is two halves pressed together on the one hand, you have a meticulous and detailed rice farming simulation and on the other, a deep and rewarding combat-heavy action platformer.
