    A remake, of a remake, this game was originally titled Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. They later de-made it into friends of mineral town on the GBA. If you're a fan of either of those I would suggest getting this game. It's a fairly faithful adaptation and they added a decent amount of new that is certainly a step up from those games. If you haven't however, you're better off playing StoryA remake, of a remake, this game was originally titled Harvest Moon: Back to Nature.

It's a fairly faithful adaptation and they added a decent amount of new that is certainly a step up from those games. If you haven't however, you're better off playing Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. Really wish they would have done a bit more bringing it up to speed with current games, and also a bit disappointed that there's not a way to switch between the original art like there is in so many other remakes now days. That being said I am a huge fan of the original and am enjoying replaying through it for the 100th time (that might not be an exaggeration). Biggest gripe is that they didn't include the DLC from the switch game despite the fact that they put the new price tag on it again.… Expand

    Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is a very cosy farm builder that has a lot to offer. There's very little pressure to do everything but the farming has a compelling loop to it that kept me engaged. The calendar year can drag at times but there's always one more task you can engage with. It's satisfying to see the money come in and your farm grow, although sometimes you have to make your own long and short-term objectives.

    I feel like I will get some backlash for this, but I did not enjoy my time with Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. I am not usually a fan of the farm sim genre, but I can tell other non-fans that this is not the game that will get them into it. It is a remake of a 22-year-old game, and for that, it gets credit for helping build this niche genre and for having little to build upon. But there are other options out there. Stardew Valley has trampled the Story of Seasons series under its hoof, and the Persona series has made the day-to-day grind exciting and meaningful. But if you love farm sims and you’re looking for a simpler, more relaxing alternative to Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town will undoubtedly provide you with hours upon hours of content.

    If you weep because there are no new worlds to conquer in Stardew Valley, return to Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Townto (re-)experience its biggest inspiration.
