This forced me to fast travel quite a bit and waste time trekking back and forth between waypoints and the place I wanted to be. But there was no way for me to discard or drop items that I did not want in order to make room for new ones. In the early days when my bag was still small, I often found myself unable to receive more seeds, which was understandable as item management is a given at the beginning of many games. However, this rule did not seem to apply when I stood atop an actual volcano. This may be titled harvest moon, but I found out the creators of the original harvest moon games changed to creating games under the name Story of Seasons Those are the games you want to play if you are a harvest moon fan. In hot and cold environments, stamina depletes even faster, which was countered by consuming hot or cold dishes. Because of this, not only did using tools reduce my stamina but moving through the world made that meter go down as well. The stamina meter featured hearts that reduced by half in a seemingly arbitrary manner, and there was no real way to tell what affected it. I got super far into the main story and still found no way to upgrade my tools, which meant I was stuck with the same 10-tile limit for my watering can. I kept playing, thinking they would come… but they never did. There were many features that were missing in the time I spent with this game. Inadequate quality-of-life features Making life unnecessarily hard There was no option to till new land other than what is already laid out, which made me feel like my farm wasn't really mine. However, it lacks customization options, as you're only allowed to place your farm in pre-determined areas, and no buildings can be moved once you place your farm down, so every farm looks the same. The main draw of the game is being able to pack up your farm into a small object and unpack it in various areas around the world.

People popped in and out of existence sometimes, and the music stuttered so much I often didn't bother to play with it on, which is a shame because the music is so good. Harvest Moon: Light of Hope was reviewed on Switch using a review copy purchased by Niche Gamer. The framerate dips constantly, and sometimes running at normal speed is too much for the game, resulting in running into large black voids until the game decided to catch up. Many environments are incredibly empty, with flat colors and stretched-out textures. Today, that series is called Story of Seasons in North America, while Natsume has continued developing its own farming/life simulations under the Harvest Moon banner.Įven if this isn't the same series as the Harvest Moon you remember from titles like Friends of Mineral Town and A Wonderful Life, One World still has plenty of potential to deliver a pleasant, peaceful simulation on modern hardware.For such a large world, the developers of this game didn't seem to know what to do with all of the space they created. It was originally the name for the series called Bokujō Monogatari in Japan. It's worth noting that what we know as "Harvest Moon" in North America is a bit complicated. The story of One World involves exploring an entire world (rather than just your quaint hometown), managing a farm while restoring a variety of familiar fruits and vegetables to the world. At that time, the Switch was the only confirmed platform – but today the company revealed that Harvest Moon: One World will release on both PS4 and Switch this fall.
