100% worth it as a solo game. I can only imagine the fun with friends you can trust not to troll you on a server.

That being said, though, you can't exactly pause the game. You have to "Log out" (return to the title screen or exit the game) when playing. This is bad because, as you progress, there are random timer-based events that could happen while you're AFK.. and you don't want them to happen while you're AFK. :)

Literally the only real drawback of the game. A smaller gripe is that the food system is super tedious at a few points in the game (Turnip stage, potentially Onion stage), but if you don't mind a bit of a grind in that regard (there's farming!), then it's no biggie at all.

Seriously, the game is super fun and it's updated rather frequently. For an EA game, it's super-polished and well worth it. If you have a larger panel and a good sound system, or headphones, get ready for some immersion. :)
