Fooled me twice. I bought Harvest Moon One World and hated it. I decided I would buy the one before it and well... I don't hate this one, but I don't love it. It's a shell of what Harvest Moon was, and as far as I can tell they don't even allow you to enter any other building but your house making the game feel even more of a shell and gives you the impression they just slapped this together at the lowest price point possible. The graphics are awkward and the story is okay I guess. What have they done to what used to be such an amazing title... never buying a Harvest Moon title again.

I made an account just for this game. I loved Harvest Moon as a kid on SNES and loved the one on the Game Cube. Switch had a sale for this game and unfortunately I let nostalgia get the best of me and I bought it without looking up reviews. At first I was liking it, the doc was quirky and the idea that all they ate was potatoes was humorous. But that's about all the positives I can give. The camera is lacking, the dialogue is poor, and the moment I found out I'd be moving my farm from place to place I got a pit in my stomach. Harvest Moon is so much more than a farming simulator. It's a relationship sim where you meet new people, learn about their lives and how to become best of friends. It's a game where you get to experience a quaint small town that you can't help but fall in love with. One World focuses on all of the wrong things. I don't play Harvest Moon because I enjoy planting veggies and raising cattle, I play it because I love the community and the stories of its residents. One world doesn't give you those opportunities, it feels hollow and if I had bought this on a platform that gives refunds I would be refunding this game.
