    Natsume is trying to position Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition as a beginner-friendly farming simulator, which isn’t a bad idea on paper. However, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition should have been bigger, bolder, and braver when trying to establish a presence in the genre. Instead, it ends up as an unpasteurized version of itself, which is hard to recommend when other juggernauts occupy the space.

    There are so many great farming games, and you should play one of them instead of Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition. Hell, off the top of my head I could recommend Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Dinkum, Fantasy Life i, Tales of Seikyu, and Fields of Mistria. Even Winter Burrow could qualify, since we grow mushrooms in the basement. This game doesn’t control well, has poor pacing, features a lifeless story, and looks so generic. Unless you’re 100% dedicated to playing every game with Harvest Moon in the game, I promise you that you can do better.
