Persistent worlds with life and death are not very common in the cozy farming genre, but we do have one strong example of this available right now on Steam. Echoes of the Plum Grove is a fantastically created farming simulation game in the vein of Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons, but with one major twist – you can die. Yup, you can die, and if you don’t have heirs to continue on your family farm, it’s game over for you!
Kevin Austin has been in gaming journalism in one way or another since the launch of the Nintendo Gamecube. Married and father of 3 children he has been gaming since the ripe age of 6 when he got his first NES system and over 30 years later he is still gaming almost daily. Kevin is also co-founder of the Play Some Video Games (PSVG) Podcast network which was founded over five years ago and is still going strong. Some of his favorite gaming series includes Fallout and Far Cry, he is a sucker for single player adventure games (hence his big reviews for Playstation), and can frequently be found getting down in one battle royale or another. If it's an oddball game, odds are he's all about it.
