This was my favorite harvest moon game as a kid so I’m super happy with the remake. But they should of added more… and it shouldn’t be $50 it’s more of a $25 game

[oheyvinny]

I agree totally! I know its a remake but why can’t they bring a bit more to the game? Doing something with the mountain would have been so easy! Who cares if its not in the original one?

[Tuinuiski]

I was looking forward to this review. Your SoS/Harvest Moon reviews are the most knowledgeable and best. (As are your Atelier and Pokemon games reviews).

[ellidarffygrown]

I love your reviews, and I agree with you. You have a good point. However, I have to disagree with leaving this game in the past with nostalgia. This game needed a faithful remake, making a comeback while staying true to the original. It wasn't accessible on all platforms; it was practically lost in old consoles and obsolete ways. Whenever I wanted to play this game, I had to download an emulator and use unauthorized methods to play. All I ever wanted was a chance to play this game properly on my Nintendo Switch, and I wouldn't be happy if they changed the whole experience in a remake.

So, I'm still up for remakes of the old SOS/HM games, but they need to be updated like this one to be accessible on all consoles and PC. I'll leave my expectations for something new in the upcoming games and titles. That's where I'm looking for changes, not in this game. For this game, I'm searching for that feeling of being a little boy of 15 years old, falling in love with this amazing, cozy farming game.

I'm in love with this game. I've been playing for hours, and I have to say, it's still one of the best SOS/HM games of the franchise.

Love you so much, Ircha! ♥

Good review. I want to support the franchise but I kind of regret buying this at full price. I didn't play the original and while I love the graphics, repetitive dialogue drives me nuts. It'd be cool if they remade trio of towns with better graphics

[NerdoftheGames]

Glad I didn't pre-order this one. Been following what a lot of people say not to pre-order games anymore, and they are so right on that.

Thank you for making this video. I have a daughter on the ASD and I am never sure what type of game or games she would like. She enjoys these games, and your review has been very helpful. Thank you!

[cryzztal]

Great review as always and I agree with everything you said. I think I prefer this game sometimes when choosing between opening Wylde Flowers or this because I want something truly chill where I don't have to think too much. But yeah overall, Wylde Flowers is much much better.

[juliatalks]

Sorry for your loss.. lost my daughters kitty last month she still crys but she wanted me to say~
Sending love and a prayer. Love dottie

[trevorflake]

Great videos every time! You always have different new games that no one is talking about! Thank you!

[meganvr]

I was really excited for this remake, since I sold my gamecube and games and haven’t played it in years, but after two weeks of playing, I’ve moved on to replaying Pioneers of Olive Town for a more dynamic gameplay. 😅

[darin-ka]

It blows my mind that great games like Stardew or Wylde Flowers are only €15 and provide engaging story and smooth gameplay, and for this (tbh very outdated) remake they charge over €50! The only thing that comes into my mind is “nostalgia”. Otherwise I don’t see what to pay for.

[joshuacurtis]

And I would like to say our condolences to your cat. We recently had to put down our family cat of the last 16years and it was not an easy thing to do. God Bless

[joeyfarris]

Your face at the 10:01 mark of the video is priceless

[RetroNirvanaGaming]

I like your review after playing it for a while. Pretty much spot on! It is a very simple game but also very satisfying.

[joeyfarris]

I just love the face you're making in the thumbnail and my opinion of the game is that I like it and I'm glad that I picked up a copy on launch day and I'm still playing it👍👍👍

[AlexandraStubbs]

I got this game when it came out, so very happy to play it. Such a great video review.

[CMC]

It's good to see you. I played this game on PS2 Special Edition. Whatever that meant. IT was my favorite Harvest Moon game. I may pick it up later down the line.

Enjoy your day Ircha.

[wayneglonnie]

Really sorry to hear about your cat 😢❤. Hope you’re okay. I just came here to sub to your channel. Keep ya head up 💪

At this point I feel like the quality of Story of Seasons games we've had have dropped down in quality. I never played the original A Wonderful Life on the Gamecube, but this one's pretty decent. I think the last SoS game I enjoyed was Friends of Mineral Town, and even then it was due to me being nostalgic for the original GBA title. There are so many superior farming games that do a better job these days. I'm cautiously optimistic about the upcoming SoS game though!
