April 2025
Hot tip: Turn off vsync and your animals won't move from place to place by hopping through dimensions. This also fixed how incredibly sensitive inputs on both controller and keyboard are. I played Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life when it first came out in 2004. I was never sure if I liked the game; things about it made me sad like my animals dying or being taken away to the city if I sold them. The entire game felt grey and quiet and sad. A heartbreaking nostalgia came with that. Perhaps, it was a difficult time in my childhood. On to this version of the game. It keeps the strangeness I remember without the sadness. The game is bright and colourful, and I don't have to feel bad (still a little bad) when I sell an animal. I've never played Stardew, but I imagine if you're a fan of that game you probably won't like the simplicity of this game. It doesn't offer a lot of bells and whistles, but I love its atmosphere. I love having a little family, farm animals, and mixing crops with my good ol' pal Vinnie. I love the little moments you get to witness between your fellow townsfolk. I love the cryptid hiding in the forest and the mad scientist who fails to catch her at every turn. I love watching my kid grow up. I love it when my dog runs up to me and I pick him up and read the dialog: "Bones smells like sunshine". Sure, nostalgia is at play for me with this game, but it is a different game from what I played 20 years ago. I'm a different person than I was 20 years ago. I'm not sure if this is a recommendation or me reminiscing about a small light in a dark time. I'm not sure. Maybe get the game when it's on sale so you don't feel bad if you don't like it.

Fun game. Easiest farming simulator. Marry and have kids. Your family doesn't help around the farm though. Quick tip, buy sheep and sell wool. It's the fastest way to make money.

I've put many hours into the game, for both Steam and the original on the gamecube. While I do enjoy the quality of life improvements in this game, such as spreading seeds and fertilizer across many squares at once, picking up multiple things at once, crops/dairy gather is automatic etc, I feel that it looses out on some of the original's Charm. The Horse somehow doesn't have a mouth this time around, the name change will always be weird to me as I got used to the originals (I will always call Molly Muffy, and Cecelia as Celia, etc). The overall character designs, while still faithful overall to their original, doesn't seem to have as much personality? I can't quite place it, but they all are feeling Modernized. I will forever miss Gustafa's wild giant Hat. Overall, I do enjoy and have enjoyed the game, being able to choose any bachelor/bachelorette as any gender, as well as being able to choose your child's gender, is definitely a nifty thing to have. And even if I never really completed the game, by about Chapter 3, you experience virtually everything the game has to offer. The only things that happen after Chapter 2, in all honesty, is having your child grow up, or getting the Golden and Blessed Items. Would I get this game for $40 again (bought it at release), no, for $25? I'd see it as a better price for what the game has to offer.

I'll be honest: This game is mostly for the nostalgia. OGs like me who have come from GameCube and PlayStation are thrilled to have this remake. It was one of my first farming games and sparked a lot of key interests for games like it (ie. crop hybrids, male animals included for cross breeding, and choosing a spouse who then influences your child's initial interests, later swayed by how you interact with them as they grow from toddler to a full young adult). For those who haven't played the original games, it may seem a bit bland or repetitive after a certain point as you ARE limited to a small town to traverse across your character's "Wonderful Life", but that was where some of the original charm came from for me. You grow older with the residents that you get to know, build your farm, and raise a family. I really appreciate SoS rotating back to familiar favourites and breathing some life back into them again. I can only hope that my hands-down favorite, Animal Parade, is soon to come on the remake list!

A Wonderful Life is a great starting point for Farm Sims. It can be simpler and routine than more complex Farm Sims like Stardew or even other Story of Seasons. The old GameCube version got me into these type of games and the remake is very true to it. Very nostalgic with several quality of life changes. If you already like the more complex ones you may find this one boring. It's a lot more bare bones. However, if you want a simple introduction or want to share the type of game with a younger player who may not handle all the complexities this one is a great starting place. And if you loved the old one the remake is very nostalgic. I love it for a simple destress game.
