November is HUGE for FARMING SIMS! 9 New Games + 2 Major Updates to Pick From!

[@dweebicusmaximus]

"Like Hokko Life but good" I appreciate that Josh has gotten a lot more comfortable voicing that he doesn't like something over time. No gentle wording, just plain honesty.

[@msemma4316]

hahahaha that made me laugh as well! I love it. He used to be so hesitant - but honestly, games like Hokko Life charge full price and push their product out there - and like any product, if its no good, then people should be able to call a spade a spade!

[@sephinarose420]

Yes I am so glad also for this as well.

[@Rietto]

Given how many games coast on 'cute and cozy' while being half-baked, it's so helpful to have a CC who is honest and not swayed by empty vibes in a game. :)

[@therandomjukebox4495]

You forgot one more game that is getting an update- Sandrock is celebrating its first full year of release so on Nov 2nd, we are getting a cowboy outfit and the romance DLC is going to be released on PC at least on the 2nd as well lol

[@Vic_Coco]

The creator of Fairy Tail truly knows how to only make a few character designs 😅 they look the same for every game, anime, manga, it’s insane

[@whimsical1066]

very untalented guy. all his work starts off great then goes down like drain real quick

[@boethia7367]

The artbook showed his alternate designs for the main character and they were so good. I was so annoyed he went with the blandest design he made. We couldve been a goth cat boy.

[@mightylotan]

I don't know why, but it's hard for me to enjoy cozy/farming games that put you in the role of a character. I always want to create who I'm playing as and interact with the community.

[@cherryactually]

felt!!!

[@SarahKuriyama]

I’m looking forward to finally playing the Stardew Valley update! I loved playing MySims on the Wii but I don’t think I ever finished it so it’ll be fun going back and reliving a little bit of my childhood.

[@piperbird7193]

This game is like Hokko Life - but good.

[@yakumorisuke9403]

Actually choked on my tea at that 🤣🤣

[@MrZzToOoFlyY]

That made me laugh too 😂

[@LilRonGal]

😂😂😂😂

[@kellybrowning3257]

Everholm is giving me pixel Wylde Flowers vibes and I am here for it! The animation looks so smooth.

[@Jexxa.]

I LOVED the my sims games growing up, so I absolutely will be picking that up when it comes out.

[@The_Azure_]

I'm on the fence for Farmagia. It's a neat idea, but I really wish it had a demo.

[@Lyzander911]

I sadly feel it's going to start amazing and turn shallow very very quickly

[@zathtanks]

It’ll likely appeal more to jRPG ppl rather than farming/cozy sim ppl😊

[@ChromaSoul]

Thanks Josh! You're my main source for news on these types of games

[@canariawing]

mirthwood looks right up my alley. i love the vibes there

[@brodylockwood14]

I makes me think of kingdom come deliverance mixed with stardew Valley.

[@Asunnixe]

I'm looking forward to Everholm! Looking forward to people playing Mirthwood and MySims but not sure if I'll buy it on release. Fields of Mistria first content update is so exciting! :DD

[@JoshGamingGarden]

It's certainly wise not to get them all on release, a lot of them will go on sale eventually!

[@PocketPal95]

Aaaaa I can't wait for cosy and farming sim games!! Genuinely thought Natsu and Lucy were back as farmers, I like his art style and Fairy Tail (goofy makes me laugh) but my god Hiro Mashima out here creating the same three characters: - Busty sassy girl - Pink or white haired shonen protagonist - Stoic, possibly tsundere guy with blue hair

[@bruceboivin2278]

honestly if you can get into it like i did farming sim 22 or 25 you cant go wrong cause the mod community always makes new towns and farms so for one game you get about 200 different towns and fields and its very very cozy.

[@shozzy_id]

Looking forward to Luma island and Petit island, but I'll wait for your reviews as always, thanks Josh!

[@laurab6146]

Thanks for reminding me about all these games. Mirthwood is definitely on my radar, I've been wanting a farming game with more challenges and consequences. I'm also interested in Farming Simulator for the first time,, maybe this will be my introduction to the series.

[@chriscalvat]

as someone who has been playing Farming Simulator since the first game I am glad to see it being talked about outside of it's usual player base, interesting thing about 25 is that they have announced that there will be npcs to talk to, how in depth it will be is yet unknown

[@katiethefandomgirl4412]

At first I didn't know if I s=would give magical bakery a try or not but honestly after watching this I might give the demo a try. I also might look into Critter cafe too and Luma Island for sure.

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Try it, it's seriously worth checking out! I'm glad we're getting lots of demos to help us choose.

[@alexiere]

I am looking forward to be disappointed by Farmagia. No exploration, just farming monsters it seems.

[@jellaldragneel5983]

and no romance either

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Yeah, it seems like it will be just farming & dungeon crawling! A lot more like Silent Hope than something like Rune Factory.

[@B0311Anakin]

Hadn't heard about Magical Baker until now- seems interesting!

[@marydanielle7183]

Playing the Luma Island demo and LOVING it. Immediately grabbing it when it releases.

[@WildVolley]

they loook sooo good and cute! cant wait to try them! luma island, critter cafe and bakery really appealed to me

[@MsEverjade]

So many good games in this! Should be enough to hold us over till they actually release Fantasy Life after like... a century

[@MarcusRideout]

Hey, thanks for this update video, Josh! So many cool games that weren't on my radar until you shared this. Always enjoy your videos.

[@Whats-a-Chidi]

Honestly so sad to see Farmagia tbh. "So many big names begind it" - so why does this game look like a bad smartphone game from 2015? I guess because it will probably sell anyway, huh? :( So tired of worlds looking so empty and soulless. But I'm glad there's always some awesome - especially indie - titles that restore my faith in this world! A lot of them look so good! I'm excited for the new Fields of Mistria update. Everholm and Lumia Island look very interesting too! The latter reminds me of the old Fantasy Life a bit and I'm here for it!

[@orochi_warrior]

I’m really looking forward to playing My Sims and My Sims: Kingdom, I loved playing them on the Wii

[@sunshinem.7741]

Thanks for the list and overviews!

[@medusathedecepticon]

I'm always excited for anything Marvelous makes. Also Petit Island and Critter Cafe look nice. My favorite would be the My Sims bundle though. It holds so many fond memories

[@OniMau619]

Can't wait for Luma Island to come out and Mistria's update. 💕

[@Bakuuren]

My wallet is crying! But that is a good problem to have, I suppose! So many options give the possibility of getting exactly what you want out of a game. I'm glad my birthday is in November.

[@Shayofavonlea]

Josh: “Like Hokko Life-“ Me: -cringes- Josh: “-but good” Me: 😂

[@boethia7367]

Farmagia is a good game! Its a really good story with VERY simplistic game mechanics. 75% story, 15% simple combat, 10% simple farming.

[@josie_the_valkyrie]

Farming Simulator ‘25 looks so good! I actually had no idea that they were adding so much. I’m especially looking forward to the Asian map. 😊 As for Fields of Mistria; is it on Switch yet? That’s the only reason I’ve held off on getting it. (forever no Coral Island on Switch…) MySims looks cute!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Fields of Mistria is still in Early Access, so Steam only! Console ports (if they happen) will be after the full release.

[@girlytomboyx]

So many good games coming out, I'm gonna be poor by end of November LOL. I'm keen to keep an eye on Mirthwood, Critter Cafe, Magical Bakery, MySims, and will 100% buy Luma Island, I really enjoyed the demo of it. It's only 4 full days of demo because big event happened on Day 5 that will change Luma Island, so that's exciting. I have Fields of Mistria but not played yet, so it's great that I'll have new contents already in the game by the time I'll eventually play it. Great video covering November releases & updates, thank u Josh!

[@Stabbyhead]

Petit Island reminds me of Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

[@feniulapyra]

I played one of the mysims on the ds and will absolutely be getting the new ones in November!

[@maybeimalioness]

1000'th like! Been watching your channel a while, now subscribed. I've played the heck out of fields of mistria and am excited for the update.

[@revannia]

Loved the My Sims series. Agents was my fave but it's a totally different type of game than the other 2. I liked Kingdom more than the regular My Sims but both were fun. I don't think I'll be getting the Switch versions as I still have the original ones if I want to play them. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who hasn't played them before though. I'm most looking forward to Luma Island and the Fields of Mistria update. I also have Mirthwood (and I think Everholm) on my wish list. November should be a good month for games.

[@belph1661egor]

MySims my beloved

[@maiasim1560]

Yay! My Sims!!!

[@Marty_Von_Grimm]

Farnagia looks SO DOPE! I can't wait to get my hands on it!!!

[@Icyangel10]

I played MySims’s DS version & MySims Kingdom before I ever got to play MySims for Wii. It’d be nice if they merged both games together because while I like the Wii ver I prefer the DS version more because it feels like there’s more to do even if you’re unable to build outside of your house. MySims Kingdom is a little different from MySims, you travel to different islands & help people with their problems. Areas are prebuilt but you do get to do some building whether helping build an actual home or building onto stuff or customizing prebuilt stuff. It’s a little different but I enjoy it & feels like there’s more tasks to do. I feel bad cause it looks like I’m complaining about MySims for the Wii due to having a better experience with other MySims games, I enjoyed the game & played to the point of unlocking every area available to place houses at it’s just that it felt like there wasn’t much to do after that & maybe one task from each character in town. Meanwhile MySims DS has you interacting with people visiting on vacation, helping the town get back on it’s feet, make friends, explore the world, help out the town/surrounding areas & minigames, it was partly Animal Crossing but with MySims. Despite my complaints & rambling I look forward to playing both games on my Switch & can’t wait to rebuild the town in MySims before trying to make a house for two elves in MySims Kingdom.

[@PetualangJkt]

Can't wait to play Petit island ❤❤

[@Ladywizard]

Ova Magica also has their .7 update either end of this month or early November

[@JayJay-qu4nw]

When will mistria be completely done? Would love to play it when all the updates and patches are over for the ultimate game experience!!!

[@BlueIrisTiger44]

Oh yeah. November is going to be loaded with games I either am looking forward to or already have and going to get majorly updated. First off is definitely Farmagia getting released on November 1st. Then Fields of Mistria getting updated on November 18th (was blindsided by the news on Twitter). Then Luma Island getting released on November 20th; played the demo for almost an hour and honestly enjoyed what was available, so I'm definitely getting Luma Island on the release day. For a game getting a major update between the end of October to Mid-November, Ova Magica's 1st major content update would be releasing between October 31st (the technical end of October) and at least November 15th (technically the middle of November), but I expect it to be a little later than this just so the update can be as polished as possible. Plus, I'll be busy with Farmagia so I can wait for Ova Magica's update to come out.

[@astraphel1896]

I am so excited for Mirthwood the demo was so fun!

[@friedeyeball]

I always wanted to try mysims kingdoms as a kid, so I’m definitely grabbing that!

[@suicune2001]

Wow! I've never heard of MySims. Farmagia looks good. I hope it doesn't feel like Monster Harvest where the monsters don't feel like they matter. You harvest one and it almost immediately dies. But I guess that's the point. Since I played Chef RPG recently, I might try the Magical Bakery demo and see if I like it. Luma Island and Critter Cafe might be interesting. If they have demos I might try those, too.

[@Soraphina]

Thanks, added some on my wishlist :)

[@SahyuSoley]

have you heard of grimshire yet? theres a demo you should check out!

[@gabrielasunrise3295]

I just came across your channel so I don't know anything about what you like. I played the demo of Critter Cafe and it didn't stand out to me like others did (Magical Inn was better for example). I found the minigames a bit difficult and were not fun for me. Thanks for recommending Mirthwood, will try it out.

[@frogb00ts]

Excited for the Mistria update! its been the biggest surprised for me in years. also gonna be diving into stardew update on console. Petit island looks so cute, it reminds me a little of Alba! Farmagia I'm a little eeeh on. I kind of wish the resources spent on it just went into making sure the new rune factory was as good as it could be. I also really don't like the art style at all, both the 2d illustration and the 3d graphics.

[@CL-lx2pm]

Farmagia reminds me of Monster Rancher. Idk if I'll be playing it but it's definitely a fun deviation from the norm!

[@Diogo_7237]

Mirthwood and Luna Island look good I tried both demos.

[@katrin428]

I'm wondering...do we know when we will get to know the 2 missing bachelor/bachelorette in fields of mistria ? well nonetheless I look forward to the fields of mistria update :3 luma could be interesting as I still have to wait till fantasy life i releases....I hate delayed releases >.>...

[@Celery_Seeds]

I am excited to play Farmagia! And why is there no Farming Simulator 24?

[@JoshGamingGarden]

They don't make one every year! There was a smaller 23 version for Mobile/Switch, but the last main game was 22!

[@evaguess2313]

Magia in portuguese means magic, and would be pronounced madjeea or something like that. If the name of the game is supposed to be pronounced like that though, I have no idea. I can't wait for fields of mistria update! It made me fall in love with farming sims again

[@JoshGamingGarden]

They pronounce it with a hard G, like I did in the video!

[@schokodeuli]

Critter Cafe seems relaxing and cute, not a big fan of chibi artstyle in general tho 😅

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I don't mind chibi as a style, but the characters and assets remind me A LOT of Chill Town, which was a major disappointment. 😭 It's starting to feel a bit generic as more and more devs are doing a similar thing.

[@squarestar326]

Nice list. As usual my favorite ones come out on̈ steam.....and i only got nintendo systems and a potato pc.😅

[@phoenixastra4429]

Omfg so many!! Yay

[@kei1702]

when i see farmagia i said ita heromashima style ❤️🔥

[@jeremyhellen8234]

What was the name of the game like MySims?

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Hokko Life 😭

[@callmecourtney244]

MySims Cozy Bundle

[@jeremyhellen8234]

@@JoshGamingGarden thank you

[@StarMystique]

Rip my bank account 😂😂😂

[@sleuthytv1228]

Mirthwood scaling looks a bit off. Is it me?. Everholm looks fun

[@JoshGamingGarden]

The scaling looks fine to me but I don't know! It felt right when I played the demo.

[@MiguiMonkey]

AAAAAAAA Mirthwood!!! 😭😭😭

[@sylviacamel8612]

Ten kinda look like natsu from fairytail

[@craftavenuecreations4931]

Why can’t My Sims Kingdom come to PC 😢

[@Melays1709]

I haven't tried the Critter Café demo for hours, but I found the game far too simple. It is very cute, but from my point of view that's about it. I think the target audience must be younger than me hahah

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Yeah, that was my fear. Cute but too simple. 😢 Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@cloudkitsune17]

I played My Sims... but on the DS, and it was rather boring. I couldn't get into it, as I had Animal Crossing: City Folk on my Wii that was far more entertaining. I never saw the Wii port of the game, until I saw a certain review of it, and saw the game had an issue with lagging out/loading extremely long, and I just didn't wanna deal with that. XD I'm still curious about Farmagia, but decided I'll just wait to pick the game up at a later time. I'm much more interested in Fields of Mistria, but I'm also *not* touching the game until it's officially released. XD I'm patient enough to wait to experience the completed version, ya know~?

[@brodylockwood14]

Only one I'm interested in is Luma Island

[@tinahoefs1455]

I liked the ds mysims games better because I prefer overhead perspective.

[@ilhambudi95]

That girl in the thumbnail looks like Fairy Tail character.

[@beautifulchillxo]

I’m honestly so upset fields of mistria isn’t on Xbox 😭

[@TheYdyp]

Farmagia = Pikmin + farming, can't wait for that one for sure. Same as to see what they changed in Farming Sim 25 vs its predecessor. Oh and just noticed that Farmer's Dynasty 2 is also releasing early November.

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I debated including Farmer's Dynasty 2 in the video, but I'm not too sure how to feel about it. 😅 So much to choose from!

[@VyseMalice]

Farmagia is a great game, that I enjoy, because I am a fairytail simp, definitely not a farming game. Just has a 2 minute farming minigame to time lock you developing your units too much, too quick.

[@woafie]

lmao hokko life but good

[@TheMyriadTruths]

I think a lot of new players will be disappointed with MySims. They are extremely shallow , particularly for players used to current-gen expectations. You can beat each one in a single sitting each.

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I think that would have to be a very long sitting 😅 I agree though, new players should go in with the right expectations, as they are fun, but very simple/repetitive games.

[@Oceanstalker]

Oh oh careful Farmagia, Pokemon may come after your ass next.

[@remembermysims3786]

I made my channel for love of video game

[@MorgendYT]

Why all this games looks like ****? And gameplay looks like **** too?

[@PowerpuffSpiceGirl]

hey josh i hope my comment does not get hidden here 😅 but i wanted to inform you of a game called model debut3 #nicola they released the english version this month already and the game basically has you the role of being a model for a fashion magazine, that is based off said japanese magazine for girls in japan called "nicola". pretty adorable and they've been releasing games since the nintendo ds days to the nintendo 3ds until there main developer company called alchemy something unfortunately went under ☹️ but i have no idea how? but they returned... and they were from the looks of it forced to change the franchise name to "model debut #nicola" i am assuming its due to legal reasoning. anyway since they returned the franchise completely changed a bit on the nintendo switch the first game had the same graphical style as there older games but it was lacking like it looked like they were trying to make it work the games engines graphics on a new hardware for them the first ones graphics i have to admit needed major polishing and help but it isn't super fugly it just needed some time, thats when they released the second one which it mainted the same graphics but updated much more which surprised me. i was really happy to see them working really hard on making the game to release much better looking for there customers and was happy about that but after the 2nd one i did not expect them to even release more at all due to the demand for the same crap genre, no offense, 8bit hack and slash metrovenia... ugh i feel bad for indies trying to release different genre of games. Anyway the company is old, they've been touching the fashion which is simulation genre for all the years they've been active but since fashion genre on console like this, its very weak sadly and it bummed me out even more when fashion dreamer.. ripped style savvy to bits 😞. i am glad it was not tied to it since they made it clear it's a new ip but it still did majer damage to style savvy ever getting a chance of another game.. i just dont know but back to the topic at hand. So when the 3rd one released i didnt expect what your gonna see in the trailer that major graphical jump was just beautiful and then i found out they had help from a company like FURYU.. i didnt expect them to do this i just was shocked but giggled because FURYU games they published dont look bad.. so the graphic jump was just nice touch. So yeah its basically what fashion dreamer couldn't be and its also affordable.. it costs 40$ compared to fashion dreamers hefty price, of course fashion dreamer has pretty graphics and the clothing is more but model debut 3 has what fashion dreamer is hardcore lacking: fun, it has a story, minigames and you can romance too which is a plus 😊! But please bare with them when it comes to creating a character its going based off asia so yeah just to let folks know encase you didnt see certain features its because of that.
