Have you ever wondered why virtual farm life is way more appealing to people than actually going out into the fields to grow crops on your own as well as taking care of real life livestock? Maybe it’s the fact that on my 3DS I can grow turnips in 4-5 days instead of 2 months. Or perhaps it’s that even though I can see my animals in 3D, I can’t actually smell them. Whatever the case may be, Marvelous Games has done it once again! With titles like Rune Factory 4 and Harvest Moon: A New Beginning in their history, it seems like I’ll be putting in enough hours to warrant a farmer’s tan without actually getting one.
Just like in the previous games I mentioned, you do have the opportunity to find true love and get married in Story of Seasons. For the lady characters, your choices are Fritz (an optimistic ginger who wants nothing more than to give everyone a helping hand), Klaus (the town’s gentleman
Over all, I found Story Of Seasons a perfectly charming addition to Marvelous Games’ library and my own collection. While I don’t know if I’ll be putting in as many hours as I have with Rune Factory 4, I do know that this is my perfect “I just want to get lost into and not frustrated with” game. There are even two different options to playing the game, one for more of a challenge and one to just relax and have fun. I also have always enjoyed how uncomplicated the character creator is in this game and others before it. I really can’t stand spending hours on wondering if I got a chin length right, only to find out that in game it looks completely different, and now I have to deal with someone that would rival the Crimson Chin. Even though the tutorial is lengthy, I do appreciate it. Most games now just toss you in and let you figure out things as you go. This game is trying to set you up with success right from the start so you have a smooth experience. The best thing is that if you don’t want to go to your bookshelf and find what you may have forgotten how to do there, you can always grab your instruction booklet inside the game case and reread whatever information you might need on the basics. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice sit back and relax game, or anyone who has played the Harvest Moon games before. This game will not let you down.
