I really have been enjoying this game. To be fair, I am a sucker for cozy games in general, but I really do like the concept of a fully open world cozy game such as this. I don't really have any complaints, and I feel that all of the general complaints are just people's personal preferences. You're supposed to have lower stamina near the beginning of the game to entice you into exploring and trying to find the golden seeds and expand your stamina (adds progression, which most games have). The world is supposed to be big, to give a sense of exploration and help make each area feel alive in its own way. The seeds for the plants are free, with the only catch being you have to explore the world to get the free seeds (I keep seeing people complaining about this, but it isn't really all that bad, especially if you're actually playing the game and exploring properly anyway). Also some complaints about mining that I have been seeing, which I don't really understand all too much. Harvest Moon games in the past have included mines, and so what if they don't have monsters or enemies? Get off your high horse and stop glazing Stardew Valley. Additionally, you can get seeds easily by doing the simple tasks the different people ask you to do, and a lot of these reward you with seeds, meaning if you have some leftover stuff, you can a lot of the time just trade them out for seeds. And lastly, I understand that the tool upgrades should've been in the base game and not locked behind DLC. But you can get a ridiculous amount of health/stamina by collecting those golden seeds I mentioned earlier . So get over it, it doesn't really effect the main gameplay all that much. All I'm saying is, it's a good game, and if you feel like playing it and it looks interesting to you, I recommend it 100%. It's a good game in the end. But if you don't want to play it or would have a problem with any of these things, that's fine too.
Definitely not a perfect game, but has a very enjoyable gameplay loop. I would overall recommend to Harvest Moon fans as I have a lot of fun with myself, although I have a couple main critiques to keep in mind; -Visually, it feels boring. NPCs look VERY similar outside of love interests [two per village] to the point it's easy to get them confused even with the names. Towns also feel barren even after repair; it feels less 'small villages' and more 'three people live around a campfire' at times in terms of population. The size of the map, while overall a good thing, unfortunately adds to this feeling, and there are minimal groups of animals to fill the landscape. Even a few background creatures or non-love interest NPCs with more diverse designs would greatly help in my opinion. Cutscenes are also rather flat. The art style is NOT bad by any means, just the visuals feel barren with the lack of people and minimal movements even in cutscenes makes the game visually rather bland at times. This is probably my biggest gripe. -Gathering seeds can be a chore. If you don't like exploring, this isn't for you. Shops only sell three of each seasonal seed per week, and you have to get the others via harvest sprites scattered around the map, ALSO in small quantities. The only thing you can get in unlimited supply is grass, which is used for fodder. Upping the weekly amount would be greatly helpful, especially in later game when you have larger farm space. -Many of the regular quests repeat. Get Anna 5 bronze, get Nemo 5 iron, get Katya 10 material stone, etc. etc. etc. At this point I have given Anna enough bronze to start her own mine. While those quests have no deadline, when everyone is constantly requesting the same things a week at most after you got that thing for them, that gets to be a bit tiring. You can just not do them, but it doesn't change how it's a bit boring that it is almost never shaken up. -I use a PS5 controller, which while it works perfectly fine, displays completely incorrect glyphs in-game. It displays buttons for [I believe] an Xbox controller, which I don't own and never have. Unsure if this is a Steam or game issue, but if you also use a PS5 controller, keep that in mind. It particularly gets confusing when the screen says X but it actually means square. But even with this, the game is still very fun. The gameplay loop is solid, the mutation system for crops is great, and being able to move your farm/home to different locations is awesome. Additionally, as each area matches a season, you can grow crops outside of their preferred season [just inside that zone] or during their season go to a different zone and test for mutations. Fishing is easy to get a hang of, and the game tells you in the encyclopedia where certain materials are most common [ex; Titanium in Lilikala mines] so you don't have to keep track of it yourself. Additionally, the unique designs of the love interests are lovely [Nikolai, Ella and Arnold are my personal favourite designs], and you can marry anyone regardless of gender, so no need to stew over playing who you want. It's very enjoyable, but definitely not perfect. If you can enjoy it for what it is, I would very much recommend it. It's relaxing and great to unwind.
If you are looking for a chill kinda game with calm scenery this is the game. Sometimes I just want to grow plants and pet animals. The story is much the same as any other harvest moon but on the visual side everything is much more rich with color. I have played almost all of the harvest moon games and this one takes first place in size and immersion but I do miss the old cooking where you could experiment and fail, the whole just get the ingredients and choose the dish is too simple.
