This kills a lot of time in the day (and not to mention, is super boring). Instead, One World wants you to get your seeds from the sprites who are scattered around the map, so for most of the game I was running around and collecting seeds. You can't buy seeds in stores at first - and later in the game they're available only as an expensive backup plan. Growing the turnip awakens the harvest sprites, little nature fairies that are in every Harvest Moon game, and they send you on a journey to explore the map and collect tokens to awaken the Harvest Goddess. For your entire life you've only eaten potatoes, and you find a book that teaches you about farming new things, eventually leading you to grow a turnip that everybody is stunned by. Your character starts in an isolated cabin on the mountains, with your mom and your friend Doc as the only other people around. (Not always a bad thing, as long as it's done well!) One World, like Natsume's other post-2014 Harvest Moon games, deviates from the format that made it famous. I was flat-out bored playing it - and it wasn't even relaxing, because in-game time moves so quickly that I barely had time to get through everything I wanted to do in a day. While I did have some fun playing the new Story of Seasons, Harvest Moon: One World, sadly, doesn't have any redeeming qualities. Running around the map looking for sprites that can give you seeds takes up a LOT of time in HM:OW.

I'm hoping the dialogue update will give it some new life. It makes collecting resources more enjoyable than tedious.īut overall, the game fell flat, no matter how fun those tool upgrades were.

It's satisfying to upgrade your tools and be able to smash seven rocks at a time, or swing your axe in a circle and have multiple trees come down around you. The exploration aspect is fun to me and keeps me playing the game. You also collect resources to unlock facilities like a chicken coop, a barn, and the ability to fix bridges. Once you get to a new area, you unlock different types of resources like wood, grass, and minerals. You start the game with one section of your farm unlocked, and you must collect resources in order to expand. You can also decorate your house, but I wish there were more choices for furniture and decor so that I could really customize my space. The animals are adorable, with plump cows with heads just as big as their bodies and the option to adopt multiple types of dogs and cats. However - if you don't care about relationships and you just care about farming and gathering resources, it's still a relaxing time.

The game's producers say they're adding a patch some time after release to revise and add dialogue, but I don't see how this can be fixed unless there is a complete revamp.

Pioneers of Olive Town gives me nothing I would've rather had fewer characters with more attention to quality.Īll Tech Considered Reading The Game: Stardew Valley In old Harvest Moon games, I'd feel an emotional connection with some characters on day one. I've played 30 hours, until late summer in-game, and I still don't feel any depth from the characters. I want to get a taste of people's hopes, dreams, fears, and personalities early on. I love to get attached to fictional characters. With Reina, who works at the museum, she accidentally thought I returned some museum books late - but it turned out the mayor did it. With snarky biker Damon, we rode on a motorcycle and he was angry at his family for unspecified reasons. During one heart event with fisherman Emilio, he let me have the last piece of cheesecake at a restaurant. Heart events are cut scenes that happen when your relationship with a potential partner bumps up a notch - they're frequently charming and revealing, but in Story of Seasons they're utterly generic. It doesn't get any better during the heart events, either.
