One aspect that players haven’t been overly fond of initially is the multiplayer mode, an issue that Level 5 has already rectified with the latest update for Fantasy Life i. Apart from that, many gamers are appreciating how this sequel successfully replicates what they adored about the original game and even surpasses it. One Steam reviewer praises Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time for “exceeding my expectations in just about every aspect.” In a year marked by disorganized cozy game releases and underdeveloped, unfinished farm sims, this is a significant achievement.
