SDV doesn’t have depth? 😳
For me it was fun for like 5 hours, but I was massively let down after that. The combat is pretty basic so that got boring quickly, and the new maps pretty much didn't have anything new except new vegetables and enemies with new skins. You learn everything you need to know about the game in the first couple of hours and after that there's no challenge and no real reason to keep making money which makes the grinding pointless. It's a good casual game if you like decorating the farm but it's not my cup of tea.
It’s about the story, which takes game-years.
Ok, that's a good point. I'm glad you enjoy that part of the game. I wasn't really interested in "talking" to NPC-s and giving them gifts so I skipped that part of the game and certainly missed what some people like the most about it. As I said, not my cup of tea.
FYI half of the game's content is probably locked behind social interaction. Maybe that's a bad way of phrasing it, it's more like there are lots of different areas of the game (farming, exploring, dungeoneering, and socialising) and they all unlock more bits in the other areas. Either way you probably had a bad time as you were only getting a small slice of the game (though obviously that's fine if you weren't going to enjoy it anyway!)
