    I gave 2 because the game isn't rubbish but for me, after playing Stardew Valley, this felt like a step backwards and it felt very boring. For someone else, as a first farm game, maybe this would be good but it felt like a watered down version of everything I'd done before and not done as well.

    To be fair, I thought the intro video scenes were quite charming and looked great in 3D but it didn't continue in the game. The music was OK. Nothing great but definitely a good standard.

    Gameplay was just boring as it gets.

    I found the colouring was a bit harsh, a bit like everything had a scarlet haze. The whole setting felt very old fashioned and that definitely didn't float my boat. For me a game that wastes 4 hours of my time and requires me to drive to exchange it, doesn't really give me any reason to score above 0. I think that would be unfair for this game. It isn't a bad game, it is just way out classed in its genre and after 200 hours of Stardew, this just made me want to go back to Stardew. Game design teams really need to recognise the difference between child friendly and childish.    … Expand

    Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns brings few innovations compared with previous installments, but its three towns and the vivid style of the game deliver a good experience for those who can relax farming. Some issues need to improve, but this new game is great for fans of the genre.

    Story of Seasons Trio of Towns is a game that's fun for a while. That is until you get enough money to basically do anything you want. After that, it will get bland.

    Charming, but in the end nothing more than a routine run-of-the-mill farming adventure from the makers of Harvest Moon.
