Disney’s latest video game, Disney Dreamlight Valley, has finally opened its doors for people to dive in and enjoy the beta. And where the live service game will go next, no one knows, but it looks like it’s going to be a fun time for Disney fans.
The game features many activities that players are sure to enjoy, some that may even be familiar from other iconic real-life simulation games. But one thing’s for sure, the Disney magic sprinkled on them could potentially make them more fun than some might initially expect.
10 Mining
Some may already be familiar with mining in games like Harvest moon. This feature works the same way, as the player can mine locations to clear certain paths, but it can also be used to discover rare items that can only be found by grabbing a pickaxe and digging.
However, what can make this a fun time in this Disney game is discovering the many gems scattered around that can be sold for many gold coins. With many cosmetic items available for purchase from Scrooge McDuck, it can be worth getting the items you want, especially when you can recruit a Disney character to do the job for or with you.
9 Gardening
Another staple common in real sim games, gardening, gives the player the opportunity to collect ingredients for the many dishes they can cook. But the fruits and vegetables that players can grow can also be sold to Goofy to earn some money. Perhaps this game will appeal to plant lovers as much as fans of the studio’s animated classics.
This activity can be fun as players find and bring back plants from the different realms, giving more options to make everyone’s dream garden come true with these unique items. And if you can use your skills, you can make great connections with other characters, especially with Wall-E, as he can give you extra crops to help him with his garden.
8 To build
With so many materials to collect in the game, they can be put to good use to craft and craft new items. Whether it’s decorations and furniture for the interior of the house or new constructions for the Valley, players are encouraged to collect as many resources as possible.
It may already be a fun experience for many for similar titles in the genre, the developers have stepped it up a notch with how quick and easy it is, not having to worry about going through a lot of menus to select the necessary materials. Add to that the many Disney and Pixar-inspired items that anyone can make and they’ll have their dream home in no time.
7 Fishing
For some, this can be a fun sideline during their big adventures in games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For others, this may bring nightmarish flashbacks to Big the Cat and Froggy from Sonic Adventure.
But fishing in Disney Dreamlight Valley can be a fun and relaxing experience as there are not many types of fish to collect, but the catch can be exchanged for coins, used to cook multiple meals available to unlock, and can even be given as gifts to the characters who inhabit the world. With so many ways to use the day’s catches, it can be a fun and rewarding activity with many benefits that even some of the best fishing video games may not have done.
6 To cook
Believe it or not, there are a lot of meals to unlock throughout the game, and that’s just the beta launch. By gaining access to a stove, anyone can start using their collected ingredients to create these wonderful dishes.
What makes cooking so much fun is the multiple approaches that can eventually unlock more meals, and its simplicity, which avoids unnecessary grinding of similar cooking activities in other titles. Whether assisting Remy van Ratatouilleor hunt for ingredients within multiple shelters, the player can cook at his own pace and in his own way.
5 Interior decoration
One of the game’s biggest selling points that has already impressed many is the amount of customization available. With many items to make, receive, and buy, it’s possible that no home will ever look the same.
Many may have been able to do this in other games before, but the team behind it were able to make it fun with the options to stack items on top of each other and change the layout in an instant. And with the potential of new cosmetics opening up in the future, many could sink for hours to become fine virtual Disney interior decorators.
4 Change the valley
Many may have enjoyed the recent Animal Crossing game on the Switch because they can transform the island into the content of the players, something they couldn’t quite do before. And it seems it even inspired this game after fans of the popular Nintendo game terraformed their islands a little too far.
It is possible to move any building and architecture to any suitable piece of landscape giving everyone the unlimited potential to create the city they want. And with so many characters to find and take back to the Valley and cosmetic items to make the area sparkle, anyone can build their dream town in Disney as much as they can build their dream home in Disney.
3 Character customization
When everyone starts the game for the first time, they have to create a custom avatar character. And as the trailers and gameplay videos suggest, there are many options to bring everyone into the game.
Even before the game starts, there are many features that allow the player to bring himself into the game no matter how he decides to represent himself. But with lots of costumes to unlock, like Goofy’s hat when you become good friends, players’ virtual wardrobes can be as extensive as any other customization feature in the game. It can even rival the best character customizations of massive RPGs.
2 Photo mode
Many games have seen quite a few brilliant photo modes to capture stunning images of fans and see them in a whole new light. And Disney Dreamlight Valley has it too, although with a great magical twist.
After getting a phone, players can take selfies with the many Disney and Pixar characters that inhabit the world, each posing a unique pose or action for the occasion. But you can also use the camera to complete countless missions, making it an equally fun and practical tool.
1 Make friends and recruit characters
One of the highlights of the game is the ability to interact with the many characters that inhabit the magical worlds surrounding the valley. From iconic villains from classic movies to heroines from recent hits, everyone is sure to encounter their favorite characters.
And best of all, anyone can befriend them, giving you rewards the more you hang out and spend time with them. Once the friendship level has grown to a certain point, the player can even recruit them to reap more rewards while gamers are busy completing quests of other familiar faces.
