Releasing September 26.
I haven’t played a full Harvest Moon game since Natsume went it’s own way with Harvest Moon titles, and original Harvest Moon games became Story of the Seasons. I have seen many people say they weren’t any good, specially compared to Store of the Seasons games. This one looks pretty nice to me. Going to look for reviews on release.
Do you play farming games? What do you think about Harvest Moon games in general? And what about this one?
I wish they’d take more aesthetic inspiration from the earlier games. Namely a bit more chibi. This seems…fine, but kind of generic, kind of mobile game-esque.
The horses are so bad.
Last Harvest Moon game I played was Magical Melody. It had pretty much everything I wanted out of a farm sim game. I did play Rune Factory 4 on Switch and that was pretty cool, but I feel like I can’t get much out of the genre, they all kinda feel samey and there are just so many to choose from these days.
Am I the only one who liked the 2d graphics? I don’t know, this is just too flashy for me and looks kinda cheesy.
I agree. Except for the cows, they look so adorable in 3D!
Personally, I don’t have any issue with 3D graphics in general, but these look like cheap mobile graphics to me, for some reason.
I also don’t mind 3d in general, but some games make it work better than others. But idk, something about Harvest Moon makes me want a 2d graphics game (I know there are other alternatives).
They haven’t been the same since the split. Honestly stardew valley and My time in porta really fill that void for me now.
Anyone played a story of seasons? Are they any good?
My Time in Portia is really good, also liked the setting of restoring a post-apocalyptic world. I played it on Switch, and eventually got tired of extremely long load times to dropped it midway. May give it another go on PS, I think they have it on PS+.
Story of Seasons are the original Harvest Moon, I have heard they are better than Harvest Moon games, but I haven’t played one recently.
Recent Story of Seasons titles have been pretty good. They’ve put out a few remakes of older titles, Friends of Mineral town and the one a few weeks ago A Wonderful Life. And they also have some new titles, Pioneers of Olive Town.
If you have to recommend only one of the recent Story of Seasons game to anyone, which one will you recommend?
