    This addition to the Story of Seasons series is fantastic! It’s so much more like the old-school “Harvest Moon” games. The characters, music, mechanics - everything. An adorable game for many different age groups.

    Love the game! Also the box! Everything was well presented when I opened it. The game itself is strait forward in mechanics. The characters are at first off putting, but become familiar.

    I love this game and all the added bonus it comes with. One of the good looking farming game you can own. If you like those kind of games you can never go wrong with Olive Town.

    Perfect game without violence for everyday fun. The game keeps the interest of my grandson, he explores new avenues and experiences with the game while learning a thing or two along the way.

    I always liked farming games they're a good way to unwind they're peaceful. The colors are nice and vibrant Farming's pretty straightforward it's not hard to play controls nicely.

    This entry is definitely a wonderful addition to the series. It really does bring together some of the better features of older titles, and it has some great character designs. I feel the townspeople are a little more interesting and cute overall in their designs, but I like what the LIs have going for them. I also really appreciate the character customization, and that we can still marry whichever LI, regardless of gender. There are some features that can use improvement, and I'm glad to see the development team committed to patches, affordable DLC, and other updates. I hope the next entry improves even more, in mechanics, and graphically and design-wise.

    Similar to SDV, but not too similar

    I've never played a Story of Seasons game before, but I bought this on a whim. It's pretty fun, it's a farming sim so it's hard to go wrong with that. I've played for 10 hours and am still in spring of year one so it definitely has a fair amount of content. Best way to sum it up is it's an anime version of Stardew Valley, but I think there are enough differences to keep it fresh. The buffalo plushie the premium edition comes with is also super cute!! However I do wish the game loaded a little faster, and the controls aren't as efficient as I had hoped either. That's pretty much my only complaint. Also, I had zero issues buying this from Best Buy specifically. I preordered it and I received it on release day! I think this is where I'm gonna buy my video games from now on :)

    This game is wonderful!!! It is similar to the friends of mineral town but it feels like they also included some elements from animal crossing into it. It is addictive and lots of fun

    You get exactly what you expect from this game. Stardew Valley still has this beat. This game is incredibly well-made but resorts to making you grind...grind...grind. Is it good? Yes. Could it be better? Yes.

    Great game so far. I love how cute everything is and the bull and fabric poster it came with are so cute. I think this was a great purchase and I would get another as a gift.

    I actually really like this title. There’s a lot of new additions to make farming more efficient. Not many events compared to older games but there will be updates to help with the rough spots.

    The game was not great (but not bad either) at launch, but the devs are working hard to add more and more features over time. If you love farming games you should give this one a try!

    I feel this is a step away from their traditional games. You have makers to craft the things you need to make your house upgrades, and other things. There are no character portraits (really hope this changes) which is sad cause a lot of events I see just the back of someone and can't tell what they look like. The story is as usual simple. There are patches and dlc content being done so some of the most disappointing things about the game may not be there for long. Such as not being able to put things on a rug..... If you don't like games like My Time at Portia you may not like this.

    Really like the game. Stamina is great and you get a lot of the machines for producing items when you level up to certain levels. Like the graphics and there's plenty to do.

    I paid the $60 for this game and I got the premium bundle a really nice stuffie Buffalo very squishy and silky smooth perfectly made, A very well made Cloth Photo I had some trouble putting it on a wall though so I used some special sticky tabs, The game needs more to do so far I'm about 2 weeks in just got past my first Festival and a little bored, there's plenty to keep you busy with but that's not the same thing is keeping you entertained I see this game dropping in price fast, I hope this game sees DLC soon
