Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the enjoyable gameplay, captivating story, and beautiful art book and steelbook included in the Earthmate edition of Rune Factory 5. However, some customers reported performance issues, including frame rate drops and occasional glitches. The difficulty of placing furniture was also a common complaint. Despite these drawbacks, many players found the game to be worthwhile.

    It's a great game if you like farming games meeting adventure and action with tons of crafting and customization but it does have some slow framerates usually only when loading into a new area and whatnot. Also the EarthMate edition has a few nice bonuses that any fan of Rune Factory would probably enjoy!

    Not as good as Rune Factory 4, the wait was not worth it, the combat, the way the game ran on the switch, this game is a miss on my stand.

    This game needed some better under the hood optimization because wit doesn't run very well but there is still a great game to be played underneath all the performance issues.

    Farm sim games are always fun and Rune Factory is at the top of my list! The cast is super likeable and I personally enjoy the transition from top down to full 3D.

    Rune is back after 8 years. This one is good in all area, but have a huge let down about its frame-rates drop. Still playable tho, just annoying. Good game.

    So happy to receive this, but not happy to see it in a bubble wrapper instead of in a box! The side was dented when I opened it.

    Watch videos of how the game performs before you heavily consider purchasing this game. It's one of the major nitpicking of this game and I continue to play it because I enjoy the series a ton. Just like how Rune Factory 4 released on PC recently, this game MAY get a PC release too if you got a beefy PC and wait for better performance.
