Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the addicting gameplay, ease of use, and charming music and characters in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. Many appreciate the nostalgic elements and the quality-of-life improvements in this remake of a classic game. However, some customers are negative about the inconsistent controls and the absence of promised pre-order bonuses. A few also felt the game lacked sufficient content compared to other entries in the series.

    Having never played Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, I was looking forward to my first time with the series. However, I felt underwhelmed with the game. Time moves to fast to accomplish all you need in a day. Both visuals and audio feel undercooked. A strange lack of user friendliness that has greatly bothered me, not what I expected for a remake aimed towards first time players. There is a good game somewhere in here, but I lost interest before I could reach that point.

    Received the game today, but no plushie. The item said it came with the plushie when I ordered, so this is really disappointing.

    Got this for a present, they said it was okay. But will need to look up how to do a lot because there was very little direction.

    Not nearly as good as stardew valley or rune factory 4 but if you can't qutie satisfy that farm sim itch this will do the trick

    This is not my first story of seasons game but I feel like this remake could have used some more polish and updating to modern game standards.

    It's enjoyable and relaxing but a little boring. Farm, build relationships, upgrade tools, and take care of animals.

    Still trying to get the point of the game. It’s cute, but I don’t seem to understand much of what’s going on

    It’s definitely a fun game, but there’s a lack of storyline or goals. You can just do whatever you want on your farm. But there’s no real incentive to really improve it. Also the only reason I preordered a physical copy instead of getting a digital was for the cow plushie. Which Best Buy did not include when it was supposed to. I will not be likely to buy games from Best Buy again.

    The game is great but it arrived 2 weeks late from release date, had to talk to 5 or more people to find out, I will never get my preorder cow, and never got ahold of a manager when I asked repeatedly and left my number for one. Would not preorder from Best Buy unless you need too.

    I am so disappointed to have received my pre ordered game without the plush as it was advertised. One of the main reasons I purchased this game was for the plush. I did not see anywhere that the plush was for pick up items only so I feel deceived.

    Giving it four stars because I haven’t played it yet. I’ve played a story of seasons game before and did enjoy it, so I’m sure I will like this one as well.

    I preordered and looked over the description thoroughly to make sure I would get the preorder bonus, but I didn't get one and am really diappointed. I haven't opened the game yet j because I want to make sure that I'll return it or not.
