XSEED Games STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life - Premium Edition - Nintendo Switch

I was 8 years old when i fist played the original Wonderful Life and Another Wonderful Life, It was the very first video game that made me cry and holds a very special place in my heart, so when i saw that the game was getting a remaster it was already an insta-buy for me. the limited edition version was just the cherry on top with the cute goat and the wall flag.If your coming into this game expecting it to be like the other Story of Season Games or Stardew Valley, I'll tell you right now this game is nothing like them, its more about slowing down and taking time to enjoy the simpler things in order to have "a wonderful Life" and its a lot more harder than them too.control wise, coming from playing the original , its alot more snappy and fast which took me a good bit to get used to, the mechanic with the animals and the tools got an upgrade making it easier to run the farm ,theres new scenes that weren't in the original game which add to the experience for me, some NPC's and the location of the game got their name changed which kinda works but i do wish they kept the originals. I am extremely happy that they included same-sex relation ships and the ability to be non-binary for folks that do care for that ( which honestly will enhance the sentimentality of this game for some folks i think)I know the difficulty or the lgbtq themes may turn people away from this, but i implore folks to give this game a chance, its a very bittersweet game and its an experience worth playing to the end.very happy to see this game again! :)

The story is fast but still challenging. The differences in the characters in both looks and personality are very lovely. I love watching my child grow up which most games only go to toddlehood or a little beyond and stops. I am having so much fun and it's worth the purchase. The graphics are beautiful and the colors sharp.

I got the product on Amazon because it was on sale and 15 dollars cheaper than gamestop, and 5 dollars cheaper than anywhere else. This game is a slow paced game, same old grind as I remembered from childhood time. Perfect for someone with a bit of extra time on hand. Enjoy a bit of farm life without getting your hands dirty.

Amazing game beautiful plush I just have on my set up

If you grew up on the original harvest moon games and absolutely loved them you will love this game. There are a few changes to the game that has made improvements, others I have to say ehh about. Improvements are fishing you can actually see a fish now instead of just water, the graphics are improved and there seems to be more to do. My ehh so far is once you cut the grass you plant in your field it doesn’t grow back. The customization of your character is a huge plus. Everything is very similar to the old games so it’s not a huge change. The game so far as been very fun and I look forward to getting to know the characters and see more events as I go thru. I have only played to day 5 in the game so far as I have just received it today but so far I’m happy

I was a big fan of Harvest Moon on the GameCube 20 years ago, and this hits all of the nostalgia points. It’s a fairly simple and easy going farming simulator, cute graphics and nice music. I could see that for some it might be too simple, but I appreciate it!

For anyone who played the old version and enjoyed it, or anyone who is a long time fan of the series; this is a good polish on this title. This is not a cornerstone of the series and breaks from a lot of the norms. For those who are new to the series or not fans of the original, maybe try another story of seasons. This game always had more of a "time limit" than others. Now there is a hard stop at one year if you do not get married. This game always feels rushed compared to the other entries.

So.Many years ago, I remember being set before my family GameCube and being given this game. Don’t worry, I feel my age typing that. I was a kid back then, but I was so excited to play it because I wasn’t allowed to play much else and it was a small break into my gaming freedom.Essentially, I have a lot of love for the game primarily because of my love of it when I was a kid. It’s precisely why I bought it even though my love of farming sims has dwindled in the past few years. Is it an amazing game? No, the dialogue gets boring fast because even your spouse hardly says anything to you. The days drag a bit after you figure out a steady income. Just like I remember from back when.The animals are every bit as cute as I remember. Truly, you bond far more with your cows than you ever will with who you marry because at least the animals show signs of liking you. Blessed.That said, the most major flaw is one that has existed since I was a child. Do I remember how old I was? No, and I don’t want to, but let’s ballpark I was probably 8 or 9 for the sake of what I’m about to impart.When I tell you that a child can feel encompassing, unholy, near demonic rage I tell you this from experience. Carter is the worst character I have ever had the displeasure to know. I remember as a child spending hours in the dig site, and I know that I despised Carter to the depth of my being.My current, naive self didn’t remember why until I played this game and entered the dig site once more. I’d spent so much time there as a kid, surely the experience would keep me entertained just as it did then. Right?I met Carter, couldn’t remember why I hated him so viscerally as a child but gave him a chance. In my older age I thought I would put forth the olive branch, forgive and forget whatever transgressions my child self found so horrific.I enter the site, ask Carter for my mighty weapon- a shovel that looks like it would fit better on a beach than in delicate unearthing work. I set to my job, determined to relive happy childhood memories.Instead I relearned childhood miseries as, just like when I was a kid, Carter insisted on parking his rotund form in my way at nearly every chance was available to him. I’m digging endlessly to help this man and he INSISTS on ruining my entire day. Because he absolutely must park himself right in front of the dig spot I just so happen to be merrily digging. I am resigned to my fate the moment he comes anywhere close, knowing my work will be disrupted.When I tell you that I have played games with truly terrible, evil characters and I still would put Carter at the top of my list please know this is not an exaggeration. If you’re still reading this review I just need you to know. The dig site proves a steady income and an easy way to spend the days when you’re done with all else.You will probably want to be there at some point. Could you avoid it entirely? Certainly. But shiny gold things are a weakness many of us goblins have. It feels insane that this is still such an annoyance to this day.I digress. Thank you, Story of Seasons, for reminding me that I share something with my childhood self. It is good to know my unreasonable hatred for this character has prevailed the test of time, and I will not forget again.Tldr- Game is fine but an element of the game is mildly inconvenient, dialogue is boring. Game is good for nostalgia, but it’s not always a captivating experience else wise.
