Mechanics
In Hokko Life, the player starts life in Hokko, a village full of anthropomorphic animals. The main aim is to expand the village and help its inhabitants.
The game places great emphasis on crafting. The player explores the village and its surroundings in search of raw materials, which can then be combined with each other in order to obtain a specific variety of objects (including furniture and clothes for the residents). While crafting an object, you can adjust it to your preferences by, among other things, changing the shape of specific elements.
During the game, the player can also build new constructions with the help of a builder residing in the village. The newly built facility should then be furnished, which allows new residents to settle in it.
The player can also grow different types of plants and then sell the crops. This is done with fields that are selected by the player.
Hokko Life also allows you to collect items. The player can grab the rod and visit local fisheries to discover new species of fish and catch insects scattered all over the area with a special net.
Game modes
In Hokko Life you can only play alone.
Technical aspects
Hokko Life has a simple and colourful graphic design.

Hokko Life Review: Yet Another Farm Game
Unlike some other games in the genre, Hokko Life does manage to cultivate a relaxed and pressure-free atmosphere, but it still struggles to stand out amongst an already bloated genre.

Hokko Life
Unlike some other games in the genre, Hokko Life does manage to cultivate a relaxed and pressure-free atmosphere, but it still struggles to stand out amongst an already bloated genre.
FingerGuns: 7 / 10 by Kat Bullock
Hokko Life fits the bill for a simple, yet charming experience. For seasoned players, be mindful there is a slow burn to start and may be more suited to those who are newer to the genre. Whilst some mechanics are not intuitive for console play, Hokko Life on console still captures the creativity and calmness of the farming sim genre.
Screen Rant: 2 / 5 by Deven McClure
If players are looking for a sandbox game where they plan to solely focus on building, Hokko Life may be the answer. The customizable crafting elements of the game are strong, and players can even share their designs with other players online in the game's city center. However, if players are looking for a new life simulation experience, Hokko Life will likely not provide the depth or addicting fun they're looking for.
Geeks Under Grace: 8 / 10 by Logan Smiley
Hokko Life is a worthwhile experience for fans of Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, just do not expect any online connectivity in the near future.
