To be honest, when I saw this "Sweet You", I was in a trance. Not because it's amazing, but it reminds me of the days when I was hiding under the covers and playing "Legend of Sword and Fairy" on my Nokia. At that time, the mobile phone screen was pitifully small and the pixels were so big that I could count them, but the plot between Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er still made me burst into tears. After Symbian disappeared, I started playing "The Sims" and "Monopoly" again. The feeling of running your own little world and making friends with the characters has always been the softest part of my heart.
To be fair, the game "Sweet You" seems to be quite "female-oriented" at first glance, but after playing it, I found that the energy in its bones is actually quite appealing to experienced players. The setting of the heroine being reborn for revenge reminds me of the sadistic and satisfying feeling I had when I watched "Bu Bu Jing Xin", but this time I can personally manage the business territory, which is much more exciting than simply watching the plot. The painting style is indeed warm and beautiful, and the cat home is adorable, but don't be fooled by the soft appearance. The conspiracies of past lives and business wars inside are unambiguous.
What makes an experienced player like me especially comfortable is that its pace is neither urgent nor impatient. Unlike many mobile games nowadays, which allow you to earn money and rush to the rankings, this game is more like the feeling of "farming for retirement" in the past, slowly accumulating resources, upgrading stores, interacting with partners, and occasionally there are small surprises. I'm getting older, and I can't stay up late anymore, but this kind of going online every day to look at my small manor, petting the cat, and pushing the revenge line by the way has become a good habit of relaxing.
Maybe it's because I'm older, but now I especially cherish this “sense of healing”. When I played "Harvest Moon" before, I liked the sense of living a good life from scratch. Now "Sweet You" gives me a similar feeling, but with a little more sweetness and suspenseful hooks of an idol drama. If you have played old-fashioned business simulations, or simply want to find a place where you can hang out without getting tired, have a plot, and feel warm, you can give it a try.
Finally, I say with emotion, from pixel blocks to the beautiful graphics now, the game has changed a lot, but the feeling of "creating a small world that you have the final say" has never changed. 🌟
