Yeah I'm giving it a 9 too. It's just too beautiful! I just realised I've been playing for almost 7 hours now too. I played as a mermaid coming onto land and trying out a human life and now I'm playing with one of my mains (2 adults and a toddler). It's amazing. There's so much to do. I still haven't done a lot and I've been playing it for this long. Still exploring places. And just the CAS and everything in build and buy. SO good. Defs worth buying. There's heaps you'd be missing out on imo. I totally get what everyone means when they talk about the vibe and the locals too. It's so chill and nice.
