It truly was a wonderful life... 23 years + one remake and I've finally finished this game for the first time EVER. I started playing at 6 years old on the gamecube, however my game for whatever reason could never play the final chapter, it would always corrupt my memory card/randomly reset the entire game. I cannot tell you how excited I was for a remake! I did initially start with mods to make it closer to the original but switched to linux halfway and lost them, but it wasn't that big of a deal. If you want it closer to the original then I suggest mods. Of course as a child I never discovered hybrid crops or anything like that, now with steam achievements it's been fun to explore doing a 100% run. There are times in the game it can feel boring but maybe that's the point.
It's kind of crazy how often this game crashes during loading screens. My guess is that it's a Steam compatibility issue, rather than a base game issue. For the most part, I love it because I love AWL and it still captures the heart of AWL. (I only just started Summer 1, Year 1, though so this might be too early to say.) Since it crashes anyway, I decided to download a mod that gave it textures similar to the original AWL since SoS mobile game style graphics felt like a major downgrade. And honestly? It was such a big game changer that it made me glad to buy the steam version of SoSAWL even with the crashes. SoS devs: PLEASE - your player base really doesn't like the cheap, oversaturated, childish mobile game style you've been going for with your games. Can you please consider going for more natural, almost watercolour aesthetics like we see in Back to Nature and A Wonderful Life. Even now, generations later, Back to Nature is far prettier than recent gen SoS games. And A Wonderful Life for Game Cube is probably the most beautiful SoS game there is. Lean into those vibes. And this is just a personal opinion, but I'd also like to see slightly more mature stylisations of characters and character portraits, too. Honestly, I'd be fine with like what we see in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom. (Preferably not with the stubby little legs, though, lol. Hopefully my meaning's understood.) [Update] I'm now at the end of Chapter 4, my character's kid is a teenager. I like how they handled the kids a lot more in this version than in the original version. It's largely the same, but the dialogue feels a lot better and more plentiful? I also love that the child adopts a middle ground skin tone between the spouse and the player-character. Also, Gustafa is amazing. This is my first time playing AWL with bachelors, and he's fantastic. My favourite marriage candidate by far. I kind of wish there was a proper female equivalent goes around playing music or painting in plein air, etc.
So, ngl friends, this is one of my "braindead" games. The kind of game I zone out while playing while also catching up on my Youtube lineup or my Netflix list because the game loop I've established just allows it. That being said, when I was a kid, the OG version of this game was one of my favorites. I played it over and over again. So, when people say this game is one of the grandfathers of the Life Farming Sim, they mean it. This game is iconic. Its fingerprints are on virtually every Life Farming Sim in existance now. That being said! While I do recommend the game, I also want to stress that, even in a remake, this game is dated. Broad brushstrokes, this is an improvement on the OG in every way. The inclusion of festivals is probably my favorite major change. The world is so much more lived in now thanks to them, but even compared to other giants in the genre like Stardew or Coral Island, they're bare bones. They're cutscenes, no interactions. The remodeling of the characters is great, they all look amazing (even though I will never forgive them for taking away my scruffy greaser Marlin and replacing him with Matthew). However, there are minor changes made that I question why they were included and they all, strangely, revolve around the digsite, which was my favorite part of the OG but which now just seems like a headache. Like, why the hell, WHY THE HELL, can I not dig in a square where Flora and Carter are around? What does the 'X' button (I use an Xbox controller) have to do with the 'A' button? Why do they cancel out each other? Then we get to the issue of sometimes having to dig in one spot upward of 4 TO 5 times to uncover a relic once discovered. And your horse, which is made to cut down on time traveling around the town, will fall asleep randomly for upwards of 15 to 20 seconds sometimes. Multiple times I've just abandoned it and called it later. In a game that literally passes time in seconds, these are ridiculous changes that should be patched out. Tl:dr while I do recommend this game and do consider it a success of a remake, there are small nitpicky changes that over time prove almost too much of an annoyance to ignore. And while the loop is satisfying once you establish it, I'm afraid that modern audiences won't find much to latch their teeth into. Get this game on a discount.
Honestly, there is only 1 complaint I have the the new games, and its that the animals cant die like they did previously in the originals, so there is no punishment to ignoring them. both this and grand bazar, animals never die no matter what so no point to even feed them, would be better if they had kept that mechanic.
I used to rent this game a lot as a kid back when it was on the game cube and got so excited when I got it for christmas. Wonderful Life was one of my favorite comfort games growing up. This version is just as good as the old version and sometimes even better with the improvement they've made. The name changes are a little weird and threw me off for a while along with the new look for the sheep and chickens and sometimes it's a pain to pick up the eggs but over I'm near the end of year 3 and loving this.
