Was kind of a complicated story - I preordered this hoping I would get the plush and I did not. Had to go to the store in person, return it, and buy another to get the plush in store. Did not get a warning about this. However, the process was easy in person, but was not super happy to do that in person during a pandemic.

Just got this game. It got here two days before it was supposed to and I am really impressed. They have never been late and everything is always in order. I’m looking forward to playing this game because everyone says it’s really great, it looks awesome and Nintendo always does a good job. Thanks Best Buy!

While this game is cute and I enjoyed it, I did most everything to do in the first year. It’s a little too easy to get married, and I also wasn’t a fan of how the removed rival marriage (your character is the only one who ever marries). And while harvest moon games time always moves fast, this took it to an extreme of being almost unenjoyable.

really irritates me when they say there are pre order bonuses and you don't get it. I love the game but what was the point in pre ordering it when you don't even get the bonus?

This game is adorable. I used to play Harvest Moon Back to Nature(PS1) when I was a kid. This is definitely a true to heart remake with the added bonus of same gender marriage. Super cute, super fun and if you enjoy old Harvest moon games or stardew valley, you’ll be sure to love this.

This game is just like how I remembered it.
It's funny though how stiff the character walks at time.
Though unfortunately even with my 2-month pre-order I wasn't able to get the strawberry cow, 0/10 on Best Buy for not making it clear that you had to choose pick up for that.

The graphics in this game is nothing like it shows on the packaging. The graphi s are very outdated. The game is a really fun game but i can't give it anymore than 3 stars just because the graphics are pretty bad

This isn’t my favorite harvest moon/story of seasons game. However, I do think it is worth a play through if you are looking for a new farming/social sim to play. I love this series overall.

A re-imagining

Less a remake and more a re-imagining of the original classic.
The animal system is quite different, the overall difficulty is much lower, and the names and faces have been... modified... but the spirit of the original carries through.

This is a remake of Harvest Moon friends of Mineral town, originally on the Gameboy Advance. This version feels and plays exactly the same way as the original. For people new to the series this might make the game feel old, however personally I love it!

There was. a lot of hype around this game so I decided to figure it out. I had high expectations and it was alright. I love farming games, but this one wasn't a hit for me. I did like the strawberry cow plush it came with though.

Loved this game back in the day and the remake does not disappoint. If you are expecting the same experience you had with the original, its here. Nothing really "new" but worth a play through again. Great memories .

If you like Animal Crossing, this game might be right up your alley. This game is a continuation of the old Harvest Moon series. So if you loved those, this is the new version. Great game to pass the time with and relax.

No Plushies

My game came today and no plushies like everyone else. Read thru some review and someone state that they did just get off a chat with a customer service rep who said that they'll be shipping out the plushies to the people who didn't get theirs in the next 24-48 hours. How do they (BestBuy know who they did not send the plushies out) I hope they do check the review and take note who they need to send it to. If it don't come with, what is the point of pre-ordering? I might as well go Target store (closer to me than BB) to get the game.
3 star, I am sure the game is fun, but incomplete shipment spoil it for me.
Would I recommend this game, idk, cos I have not play it yet, just leaving review like everyone else to let BB know they did not send what should come with the Pre-order.
