Not as robust as Stardew Valley but if you’re looking for something a little more laidback this is still a great game. I like that there is no combat, have enough games with that in it. I love how colorful it is and relaxing.

The team behind story of seasons has continued on with the farming sim where harvest moon diverged on the 3ds. If you liked the old harvest moon games, this is the one to play.

A cute farming simulator that is easy to pick up and put down at a moments notice. LGBT options added in the remake really allows you to devrlop on characters who previously were viewed as rivals expands the story exponentially.

Anyone whose last time farming was in Harvest Moon 64 will love this hit of dopamine nostalgia.
This game keeps you running around for days and I can definitely see myself playing for a long, long time.

Favorite Solo Player Game

If you love old Harvest Moon games, you're gonna love Story of Seasons FoMT. I can find myself putting more hours on this game than any other Switch games (even Animal Crossing New Horizons). There's so much to do: you can raise livestock, crops, upgrade your house, hit on potential SOs, marry your SO, mine for money, upgrade tools, befriend village sprites who will WORK for you, etc. You can also trigger different cinematics with different NPCs that are fun and add character to the NPC. The map isn't too big that it's overwhelming, nor is it too small that there is not enough to do. Time passes by fast in this game so I find myself trying to maximize the amount of time I have in a day to play efficiently. I might say, that this might be my favorite solo player Switch game.

Great chill game when you just want to relax. Sometimes you don't wanna run around shooting at things. Sometimes you just want a relaxing time of making friends and running your farm.

This game brings back so many memories. It has some major improvements over the original as far as gameplay. If you have played the original then you would know that it was one of the better Harvest Moons.

Fun cute farm simulation, just like the original friends of mineral town. With the obvious graphic updates and being able to play on your switch definitely a great pick up for any harvest moon/story of seasons fans!

If you have played the game boy advance game when it was called harvest moon. It is still fun and got so new features and it is great though I like the spite are better but if you can get past it still a fun game you can put a lot of hours into.

Never expected them to remake my favorite game from childhood! This has been a great quarantine distraction. Some of the new features and graphics remind me of Animal Crossing, another classic fave.

Great game - was surprised to get a cow plush with it! This game is similar to the Harvest Moon games for Gamecube, so I've enjoyed. Quick gameplay, and quite addicting. The in-store pick-up was also a breeze

This is a great remake of Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA. The graphics are improved and there are a ton of qualify of life improvements. There is no combat, but the gameplay is still addicting.

Absolutely love this game! It takes some getting used to compared to others in the series, but thats because this is a re-release of Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town which is an older game now. For a few tips: the trunks/rocks outside your farm will respawn randomly daily, Kappa(guardian of the lake mine) takes only cucumbers(and will give you a special power berry so highly recommend saving up cucumber for this), the sprites like flour, if you make 10 separate purchases/upgrades in a day you can get Van's Special which you can later sell to Huang for $57,000(make sure your purchase counter stays at 10, make one purchase at a time saving and sleeping to check if unsure)

Just like the old Harvest moon game! They have definitely made it a long game and could go for a long time. Lot of different options in the game and a lot of detail and time was put in the game.

I've been playing Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons for years and this game is a great remake. Disappointed that the strawberry cow plush was not delivered with the game, but the game itself is fantastic.

Apparently people are leaving a negative review on the product because they dint get the free preorder bonus. My comment is on the product, it is a very fun and relaxing game with cute graphics.
