Fields of Mistria Reviews

NPC Studio said on its Steam page that Fields of Mistria, despite being in early access, has about 30 to 40 hours of gameplay. I’ve played more than 20 hours so far, and I’ve just made it into my first winter. I’ve reached the current end of the mines (60 levels), built out barns for my chickens and cows, and filled the museum up with fish, flowers, and berries. Even then, there’s no shortage of things to do as more of the world opens up: For instance, I’m building up to bringing more animals into Mistria, like capybaras, rabbits, sheep, ducks, horses, and alpacas. For an early access game, Fields of Mistria is shockingly large. NPC Studio said on its website that it expects the game to stay in early access for about a year, with regular updates planned along the way.Simply put, Fields of Mistria is magic — and it’s not even done yet.

I love Fields of Mistria. It’s the best new farming/life sim that I’ve played in years. It understood what worked about Stardew Valley and introduced a bunch of really nice quality-of-life improvements that help make the gameplay feel smooth. At the same time, the characters are genuinely some of the best to ever be in the genre. Since it’s an Early Access game, that means this is likely only the beginning for Fields of Mistria, and I genuinely cannot wait to see how the team behind it keeps improving on it.

Fields of Mistria is the perfect example of what an outstanding cozy farming sim can do.
