Rune Factory 5 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Rune Factory 5 is a very fun "get to town and do all the things" game, which has been cleaned up significantly from it's initial release on Switch. The PC version of the game is clean and crisp, allowing players to address settings before even booting the game up. With a ton of fun activities and places to explore, Rune Factory 5 has a little something for everyone, and is appropriate (and fun) for all audiences. Farm, explore, romance, capture monsters; every activity is gently charming. Well worth a look for adults, but good luck keeping the kids away from it.
While it still has many issues, Rune Factory 5 on PC is leagues better than its console counterpart. There are a decent amount of graphics options and full keyboard and mouse support so you can farm, fight, and fall for characters at a far more stable frame rate.

Rune Factory 5 is a game that's potentially so big I didn't feel like I could cover it alone. So, much of this review is based on my wife's observations (she su
“Rune Factory 5 should satisfy fans and cozy game enthusiasts, but its not quite as friendly for newcomers.”
Rune Factory 5 has been a game I have been waiting for since I was lucky enough to review Rune Factory 4 Special on Switch a couple of years ago. That release managed to hit the perfect spot between action RPG and Farming Sim without feeling like it’s giving either element the short end of the stick. Rune Factory 5 was developed by Marvelous and released in Japan last year, with a release in the west only just landing. As is pretty clear by its content, the series was originally a spin-off ...
Rune Factory 5 does a few things differently that'll interest long-time fans of the series. The jank and slight annoyances with farming will turn most newcomers away though.
