Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life - Nintendo Switch

So far I absolutely love it. Only been playing for and hour but I think it’s amazing. Huge nostalgia from the original game with only a few different things and ungraded textures applied. Not sure why some of the characters names were changed while others weren’t but either way so far so good and everything I hopped for from the revamped of the game I loved as a kid.Will update after playing further.!!!UPDATE!!!So I’ll start with a few pros1. I love that you can be a girl and customize your character a little and even change your hair later on if you want in the mirror2. Love that they didn’t change the storyline. Same things happen that happen in the og (rip Nina)3. More people to choose to marry4. You can actually see when you need to eat and sleep instead of randomly falling over5. There’s a path now between the dig site and the sprites forest area and I love it6. Molly (aka Muffy) and Celia are both the same bright people in the game7. Events like in the other gamesNow to the cons1. The animals. The cows are the same cute definitely and I love them but the horse, sheep, and chickens are their new style and are just plain ugly. The horse especially. I hate riding the horse now cause it just looks janky and has this weird glitch where it slowly walks first them runs. OG horse I way better. Sheep is pink for some god forsaken reason and I hate it a lot, this is coming from a girl who’s character has pink hair. The sheep just doesn’t match the game. The chickens while aren’t terrible just like the horse and sheep don’t match the rest of the game.2. There are too many unneeded and unnecessary cut scenes with the sprits. They get annoying. And some unneeded scenes in general but the others I don’t mind.3. I’m only on year 2 but there isn’t the 2 extra fields with better soil in the back. Hope that comes later on but it if it doesn’t it’s kinda a bummer5. Dig site is a little hard to dig because the dig site people get in the way ALL THE TIME!4. (More personal preference then anything) I honestly hate that you can date Lumina but not Flora. Lumina I never liked even in the og game and honestly having Flora as a bachelorette would have been amazing.Over all I still love the game. There’s some improvements that can be made but that’s any game you play. It’s still a good game and gives huge nostalgia for an OG player.

A classic game revisited!! I absolutely love this game. I still have my old Gamecube copies of both games that are merged with this one. This is a fantastic remaster with a few very good quality of life improvements. I bought this game for under $25 USD, but it's honestly worth double that. I've had the game for just over 2 weeks and already dumped 50 hours into it. It's good to relive this game!

I love these Harvest Moon spin dupes. There's always something to do so kids are entertained & the game isn't full of smut, gore, etc. just a good ol farming game

I played this game as a kid and was OBSESSED.I have now played the remake as an adult.... TWICE.I love this game. It's calming and fun. It's interesting to get to know the characters and see what your child grows up to be. Like the original, towards the end it gets very slow. You're just sort of waiting for the end of the game. But if you're in the market for a game that soothes your anxiety and is just a nice relaxing farm simulator, this is it.My main complaint is that some of the janky controls from the original really could've been deleted, but they kept them. Like the hitbox on chicken eggs, the sheep following you everywhere and screaming, only being able to ship produce, ect.But this gane also kept the charm of the original, and expanded on it. I love being able to marry whoever despite gender and look the way I want. I love the Goddess tools and the improved farming mechanics.Fans of the OG will be pleased with this. New players looking for a relaxing game will be pleased, too. However, people looking for heavy incentive gameplay will be let down. This is truly a sort of "casual walk in the park" sort of game. There aren't stakes. You just go through your life as a farmer and raise your family.

I think remakes usually fall short, but Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life did just enough to capture the nostalgia from one of my favorite childhood games. I think a lot of people don’t give it a chance before they quit playing it. Marriage and relationship building is a central part of this game. One of the things that makes it so unique is that your child grows into adulthood and you can help influence their career path. There are new recipes, hybrid crops, mini games, cut scenes, festivals, etc. for you to explore. I have not gotten bored with this game yet!The only complaint I have is that we have to choose pronouns instead of a gender in the beginning and there is same sex marriage. This game is geared towards children so I don’t think it’s appropriate to include those things.

I bouthis for my niece but ended up playing it. Great family game.

What can I say. I fell in love with this game on the GameCube and when I saw they released it on the switch I just had to get it. Came quickly and I have put so many hours into it and remembering the good childhood days. Highly recommend for kids and adults who enjoy a relaxing game and making your own farm

Muy buen remake del juego original.
