Time passes way, way, WAY too quickly, making it very difficult to farm, tend animals, and do anything else in same day. Also makes it way too easy to miss people and events.
Graphics are sub par. Minimal effort to make landscape interesting or appealing. Stupid expressions on character faces during dialogue interactions are nauseating. I keep my eyes on dialogue text to avoid seeing them as they are like fingernails on chalkboard.
No way to back out of farming actions once selected, which leads to lots of wasted time when you mean to select the maximum number of garden plots to hoe or water And character gets pointed in wrong direction (and so selects the wrong/wrong number of tiles).
Fetch quests are overwhelmingly numerous and not particularly profitable.
Very little in way of tutorial or guidance during game to figure out what to do next. More like, wander around and stumble across things.
Not enough in the way of equipment upgrades and leveling to keep game truly interesting.
