Probably one of my favourite RPGs - originally a 3DS game, it was re-released on Switch in February! If you've never heard of Rune Factory 4, I definitely suggest you check it out - it's pretty incredible. I'm hoping there's some regular players here as well, I'd be interest to chat about it / see what items (and their stats) you've managed to forge or craft - especially if you've taken advantage of the tiering system.

It originally started out as a Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons) spin-off. It came with the same farming sim elements that appeared in Harvest Moon as well as some other features like great characters and raising farm animals. Rune Factory deviated in its story and combat - taking care of crops and animals isn't a main focus in Rune Factory, there's also amazing stories and character relationships, combat in dungeons and a huge world to explore. It's really captivating, in my opinion. There's quite a few games in the series - but 4 is definitely unique in story and character dynamic, it's only of only a couple of games in the series where you can play as either a male or female character (most of the previous had you play male exclusively).
