You are 10, sitting on the living room's floor, holding a ps1 controller and looking at Popuri through your tiny tv, thinking "wow she's so cute..." Girl, you are gay.

I think the quality-of-life improvements make this game way too easy. I dislike most of the character re-designs; they got rid of some of their most recognizable characteristics. They created a new female character which looks more like Karen than Karen herself. The 3D models make it look like a mobile game. They removed rival marriage! But this is still Friends of Mineral Town. I can still watch My Dear Princess on the TV on Sundays. Cliff — who doesn't bleach his bangs anymore — is still here, and maybe that's enough. If you have never played the original this review if futile, because you won't get pissed off at every little change like me. This is a good game.

I grew up with the original Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, and honestly that kept me from stardew valley. I don’t know those people! And I missed mineral town far more than I missed the farming sim as a genre. The redesign of character portraits is simply gorgeous. I’m skeptical of making pixel art into low-fi polygon animations usually, but post 3ds, I think this form of remake has managed to not look terrible. The text everywhere has been retooled and modernized and even in translation it shows a strong comforting voice and some real charm. I think it shows that you can have compelling characters without introducing the rougher aspects of rural life. We’re not butchering the cows, therefore we’re not dealing with anything more depressing than a drifter needing a steady job before he opens up to the townsfolk. One downside is that there’s really not too much time before you hit bedrock, it got my 100+ hours in, but sim games are built to a different standard. This started as a GBA game, and while there are many many QOL aspects added, it’s still a similar initial scope. This game’s great. I like it a lot. Nostalgia’s a big factor, but if you wanted to farm sim and something about Stardew doesn’t really land for you, I’d say this is more than worth a shot.
