You’ll earn a few items that you can keep, like a sword and watering can, but most need to be exchanged for the next thing to keep moving. It’s nicely structured and easy to complete quests one after another. The gameplay throughout falls into a structure of pick up or find an item, which answers one vegetable’s quest – they reward you with the item you need for another quest and so on and so on. Each time it’s a quest either north, south, east or west of the town looking for an item he needs. Mayor Onion gets you travelling all over the small realm around Veggieville. Or the moment when I spoke to a blueberry about his snail tenant who wasn’t paying his rent, solved his problem by killing the snail, and then got accused of murder, only for everything to by fine once the rent money was found. There’s a tongue-in-cheek sarcasm to most of the script at one point I found a trophy, and the item description says, ‘regular rewards keep players engaged’.

You are filed with a property tax demand on your greenhouse, and by ripping up the form (which is your only choice – you can’t NOT commit tax evasion), you are indebted to the town’s mayor, Mayor Onion. So spoiler alert, you commit the tax evasion in the first two seconds of the game. Let’s file an F1NGR GNS form and see what comes back from the IRS. Turnip boy commits tax evasion documents to rip full#There’s a turnip-shaped boy, of course there is, but its actually a really colourful world full of Zelda-like puzzles and there’s only a small hint of greed and taxes. Lot of papers, forms to fill in and filings to make. You’re thinking some kind of Kafkaesque world where a turnip-shaped boy gets lost in a bureaucratic nightmare.
