What do you think of the newest Harvest Moon game!? SUBSCRIBE for more! I'll be doing some streams and more coverage of this game very soon
Well... It's another piece of bastardized shit from Natsume's team of crackheads working hard to ruin the name more and more with every single release. Gonna buy it on every console just to get an immediate refund.
It's sad to see that Natsume is making the same mistake so many companies make when they create an open-world game. They make the world huge, empty, and without depth. I don't care how big the map is if there's barely any time to explore it and barely anything to explore. I think they could have cut the map in half, given more textures to the environment, and focused on giving us interesting characters and farming mechanics. They've been doing this multi-town large world concept for a while now and in my opinion, it makes their games feel disjointed.
Sadly the made it delayed and console ban if played early and 1 to 2 weeks untill we get it .
They should consider Zelda while making open word system.
Once you get fast travel and a horse it becomes much easier to explore.
Rhetorically speaking, what is an “open world game”? It’s asking a company to sacrifice all of it’s time into 1 HUGE MAP game that could easily be 100 small map games. A BIG MAP is MORE GAME to FILL. It’s not “open-world” any more, it’s asking companies to fill more game than they can handle.
@@cheatahhhh6928 Zelda's terrible for having a big empty world. Breath of the wild at least, the rest are very good.
love the review! honestly for me the game lacks a lot of customization, the world seems too “empty”, the days are short, the game looks bland to me tbh. i just wish they added more ✨ personality ✨ it just seems like a rough draft more then a finished product
I like what they are doing with the variants of crops, and all the different animals. I might actually get this one maybe on a sale
Natsume is slowly but surely getting closer to actually developing a good Harvest Moon game.
That's also my hopeful thinking but the real question is when.
@@suyahatesntrnothing happens right away, it takes time
I agree. This is the first one since they split with Marvelous that I've actually considered playing, but it's not quite there yet...
@@IzzyKawaiichi yup, im 1 hr in and im enjoying it tbh. Its not much, but i dont think its horrible
Yup, and then once they manage that amount of quality, they’ll still be another 3000 iterations away from Stardew Valley
Great review!! I’ve always loved harvest moon games but it is kinda disappointing the lack of options for customizing the characters. It’s cool to have a open world in harvest moon but the world doesn’t look as eye catching. Thank you for the honesty!
This is wild to me cause I’ve played harvest moon games since 1998 and I was stoked I could customize at all since that’s never been an option before
So ur saying whoever is lead designer on the sky needs a raise....everyone else needs a pay cut😂
I don't mind shorter days if there is an actual drive to playing through the second year. Most of the newer sims you can easily knock out most if not all the main content and have tools maxed etc by the end of the first year. Part of that I believe is the trend towards longer days, rather than have a dynamic to-do list, you complete everything every day. An efficient player can end up leagues ahead of someone who isn't organized about their days.
Great review. I appreciate the way you covered the pros and cons both fairly and thoroughly. I feel like I know what I'm getting if I buy this game now... which I probably will. Thanks!
Can we all pitch in to get this man a microphone stand?
LOL! I have one but like this a little better for my setup
@@NintenTalk Ok, if you like that. That's your preference. I can respect that. New subscriber
bro needs to change the RGB to match the green neon lights :)
He probably makes more money than you do.
@@PhoenIXPhantasies True!
This is why for me, animal parade on Wii was my first and best experience of harvest moon games.. thanks for the review, really helped me make my mind up
Honestly you should really play Magical Melody. It's my favorite Harvest Moon and a top 10 game of all time for me and I'm a pretty hardcore gamer that has played almost every game you can think of, so I don't say that lightly.
hm was so good in the wii era, so many things to do, relationships changed often and had loads of dialogue. plenty of crop variety and animals too. and the performance wasn't bad, they were polished games. I just wish for once we'd get a hm or any farming game that was just finished and polished and expanded on what they've done already.
N64/PS1 which were the same games and Gamecube A Wonderful Live were HM games at their peaks. Fun fact SoS friends of mineral is a remake/remastered game of HM Friends of Mineral Town of GBA which is a remake of HM Back to Nature which was the first game on PS1 that I was talking about earlier in my comment, which is also a port of HM 64.
Nintendo's been lazy lately
The review I have been WAITING for!
I actually saw cherubae on twitter correct someone about the day length when they complained about the day being around 8 minutes long, they also said the day is around 15 or so, so knew pretty early on that whoever said that was mistaken
I remember when one world had quick days aswell until they made a slower day patch
Thats quicker then fae farm ...which fae farm days seem to fly by.I personally think 25-30 is the best. Imo...rf5 had the best time out of any game recently
The fishing remains me of Dark Cloud 2 (Chronicles); as the fishing there is pretty much the same. You pull your line the opposite of which way the fish it swimming in
Bruh I listen to this review while I was driving and didn’t even know you were rocking that merch until I came back to the video!!! Thank you!! Also I feel like an open world farming game is at least worth a check out so I may end up picking this one up
Haha yessss dude I had to pick something up 🧡🧡
"If you like sidequests" - welp, that's me covered. I love machining down a list of stuff to do for some relaxation. Thanks for the review!
It looks a little bit like everdream valley with a focus on different animals and the massive open world,i do love an open world but it does look slightly bare!
It looks like every second of play a minute passes in the game's clock. So 24 minutes of play would be 24 hours. If your character sleeps, then a day might be 12 to 16 minutes. That would take longer than 16 minutes if the time pauses for menus, etc.
Really helpful and thorough review! I like that it’s open world, but the short days make me anxious 😂 Would definitely consider picking it up though!
Thanks for the honest review! ❤
We share the same in game birthday btw haha 😂
I know it will have its flaws but I am definitely looking forward to playing this on the weekend
The open world concept in any game is just one nail in the coffin for me. Also, I believe Natsume has given subpar quality farming sims since it started making them on their own.
I said goodbye to the harvest moon series a long time ago and played SoS instead. This is the first HM I’m playing again and I need to say : i like it. Ja, there have been better games before but it’s cute and I like the storyline a lot. There’s much to do and the male marriage candidates are cute, which is rare. 😊
Well SoS the true HM you are looking for. Natsume using Harvest Moon Title to grab Nostalgia money and sadly it's working on those poor fools who think this is an actual Harvest Moon game they grew up with. Marvelous is the one that developed all the Harvest Moon games all the way till 2014.
@@Jesse12489 Do you play any other farming sims? Because why not enjoy all of them? I've been with the HM series since the SNES and I have to say; this HM title is actually good. Stop sulking. You CAN enjoy both!
@@PhoenIXPhantasies I played many farming Sims games but how is that sulking by stating an actual fact? It's a true fact that Natsume never created Harvest Moon.
@@Jesse12489 Because I see you haters on every video. You have Story of Seasons to enjoy AND Harvest Moon. How can you be mad about that? This is actually a proper title. But hey, your loss.
Thanks for being honest I was thinking of buying this game,that’s a lot of money to spend 😮
I'm actually having a blast with it. 20 hours in and I'm enjoying it a lot.
This is the first Harvest Moon I have purchsed since A Wonderful Life back on Gamecube. The last...lots of Harvest Moon games have not looked great or been exclusively handheld. Really looking forward to my copy arriving. Thanks for the review!
Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is what you're looking for, my friend. It's the Gamecube Harvest Moon you remember re-made and full of fun nostalgia.
@@DiabolicalDestroyer A friend of mine was playing it recently which rekindled my interest in picking up a farming game. The problem is I already played Wonderful Life. It's great they brought it back for a new generation but it's the kind of game I'd rather see a new entry in than revisit previous titles.
@@mataleao in that case i'd recommend another story of season title. there is the mineral town remake, and olive town.
then there's also the rune factory franchise which focuses more on a story narrative, and has combat, but still lots of farming, seasons, marriage, etc
Story of Seasons is the new title. Natsume has made every Harvest Moon after A New Beginning. You’re looking for Friends of Mineral Town or Pioneers of Olive Town.
@@mataleao id recommend the rune factory series which is just the fantasy games they make 3, 4, and 5 are all on the switch
If nothing else, being able to forage on mount is cool, I'll give them that
I really like the look of the animals, I was sad to see a wonderful life getting rid of the style of many my favorites like the sheep….i liked how different it was back then.
Remember the time when being compared to pokemon was an amazing thing. Now it’s just means almost adequate :/
Another game I cannot be a cute black farmer girl 😔 very sad
Yes I was curious about that too.....disappointing
Thnx Pat for your honest opinion. I’m always excited when I find a game that comes out especially with a real world games. But seeing not many options available makes me a bit bummed. Thnx to you though I know now.
This is the first time since the actual company switched to Story of Seasons that they made a game that doesn’t look awful.
🌽 I haven’t played a Harvest Moon since Natsume took over because I absolutely did not like the change when I tried the first 3DS one. I might try this one, but when it’s on sale, methinks.
Ohhh no --barebone character customization…oh no….
Too many games! I’m still obsessed with Fae Farm lol. Definitely interested in this though.
Right!!! Same. Idk if i wanna i vest just yet.
I pre ordered this but I'm only 45 hrs into fae farm. So when it finally comes into freakin gamestop....it'll sit for a bit. Hopefully fantasy life I comes out soon. My copy of paleo pines will be here tomorrow too😂
some times "open world" turns into... "vast as the ocean, deep as a small puddle." so yeah. like starfields worlds. how there is nothing out there on most planets... just the same assets as the last 4. and the same animals.
I was closing my eyes listening and keep thinking your voice remunds me of Charlie Day
I agree with the smaller map with many things on it than a huge map with almost nothing to do in it.
Actually it is a refresher in my opinion to have a game that does not have a lot of customization. Cyber punk is like that and all I want to do is jump right in and play.
I love harvest moon ever since fomt. The only other one i really enjoyed was grand bazaar, seems like im going to have to wait sore more
thanks for the review! I just have one question. Do the characters have some personality ? I played a Story of Season's game recently and was super disapointed. The characters didnt feel alive at all. They were saying the same things over and over. And that's something i find important to me.
The dialogue gets a little repetitive but there are some cute events and cutscenes that add to the personality a bit 🧡
Agree completely. I want to talk to villagers and have them say something different every time I talk with them, not just when I give them gifts for 10 days straight.
Wow! Nice review
Harvest Moon keeps missing opportunities. With so many great farming/cozy sim games out there really trying their all, there's no excuse for the father of farming games to continuously fall short.
the original father of farming games you're talking about is titled "story of seasons" now. look up natsume and marvelous split.
@landork1899 the series creator last game was Animal Parade, so not even Marvelous are the father of farming anymore 😢
@@landork1899and story of seasons suck to.Pioneers Of Olive Town was a pretty mediocre game.
@@Ghost-ul8eu 3ds story of seasons were good tho. especially trio of towns! but i agree, recent story of seasons switch releases were lackluster.
@@landork1899 I feel off of the harvest moon series around Harvest Moon DS so I never got around to the 3DS games but I hear there good.Pioneers Of Olive Town wasn't that enjoyable and I dropped it around fall of year 1.
Wish there was more customization of your character. I don't know why they never add that component with Nintendo games.
I haven’t played a farming sim since GC Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and it looks like I’ll be waiting a bit longer.
I pre-ordered this game and game stop called me and Said something about a delay and they said I will get a call and I haven't got a call yet so I am now glad that I didn't get a call because I am kinda hesitant about getting the game 😕.
Is there a way to upgrade youre Houseand Tools multiple times?
Greetings from Germany 🙋
Yup! You unlock the option later in the game
Can you decorate your farm and home more than a fence outside?
Besides fencing there isn’t much customization. You can get furniture and other decorations for the interior tho!
@@NintenTalk ty for answering. I might get it anyway. All the other things look fun. Ty
thanks for the review! i'm excited to play but for some reason I can't play it yet it says " This software cannot be played yet" does it come out at a specific time?
Should be available at noon on the eShop 🧡
My time at Portia was much than this gmae
Why isn't there a version that's time can be infinite. Or one with a much slower time but less stamina
juist played my time at sandrock, and am actually looking forward to play dis game nexf
The visuals and the performance are as expected with how much extra stuff there is in this game. We also need to remember there's only so much you can put in without it bugging like hell and pokemon scarlet is a great example of this. They tried to add lots of detail as well as having a big open world game and it's caused major glitches and lags so Natsume probably saw the issues with Pokemon and chose not to go into major detail because they new it would effect the game play over all.
Those damn ledges. So aggravating. Causes me to get lost regularly, especially when its raining, which it does a lot.
Story of seasons: Three towns is still the best game in my opinion
Great review, but why are you holding your microphone?
It didn’t have my birthday…. May 30. They only have days up to 28…
Playing through this game now and I'm noticing that the people criticizing this game in the comments fall under three categories
-70% criticizing it for their own poor choices in game/skill issues (not switching game time to "Relaxed" mode to make the days longer, not using bait when fishing, and not riding horses to travel the open world to make the process faster)
-25% Fair criticism like the the open world being barebones and more minor things like character personalities and little customization
-5% complaining about coffee trees as if that's some major issue or something
So far it's easily better than the most recent SoS entries, mostly because it's strengths are with the core gameplay and not with the side stuff like characters.
I love this game, about as much as BOTW. Like I'm half way through BOTW and I just wanted to check this one out because the SNES version was one of my favorite games growing up. Now I just want to play this for a while. Honestly, it borrowed a lot from BOTW so think of Zelda but much more relaxing. It's a great cozy game. ❤️
I’m going to wait until they fix the performance issues
He said he was playing this on switch. I wonder how it runs on PS5
I wouldn’t know. I don’t have a PS5.
Bought this game after watching this review. I quite like it, despite the rather bland cast (even light of hope characters had way more personality on them) and unending busy work (cant even talk to people without getting a request shoved down my throat ffs). There really is something that always makes you wanna do more in this game but until when, only time can tell. Still prefer SoS over HM any day but it's nice that Natsume's getting their shit together
Finally there is a poo inside a barn. The one thing we miss on all harvest moon game, even rune factory too
idk why him holding the mic like that makes me anxious
I wish devs would stop making open world games if they're not gonna do much with the open world aspect.
they can't even be bothered to make a proper coffee plant... the beans just hanging on regular tree
I used to love the old one, still not sure whether I want to waste my time playing this again or not, and after watching it, I don't think I like the static season
Sad so many people still consider Nasume's Harvest Moon the same as the Marvelous's Harvest Moon. When people talk about Nasume's Harvest Moon they bring up Marvelous's creation like it's the same thing. That's like saying Harmony Gold created Robotech.
🌽 thanks for your positivity
I want to like this game i really do... but it seems like they put in half the effort and then put the pricetag at full effort costs. You cant do both, i think im going to pass on this game unless it has a massive sale in the future
I'm disappointed with it, tbh. It's just filled with more of the same mistakes they always make and are clearly not listening to players at all.
Damn really wish it had multiplayer
same. thats the reason i wont be getting the game
I heard story of seasons is getting two new installments and one is multiplayer
:((( i wish they all didnt look like mobile games , and companys didnt focus on world size over content and depth
Facts:
Skyrim is 12 years old. Took about half a decade to develop with a full team.
Stardew Valley is 7 years old. Took about half a decade to develop by one man.
Well i dont wanna be that guy but those are two completely different games.
I think what I was trying to say is the development time for an open world game or a good quality farming simulator is nearly a decade of commitment. Harvest Moon more often than not has difficulty doing the bare minimum in every category. To tackle and open world farming game is too broad for them to employ. Imagining all the capabilities of the fauna in our own neighborhoods is a monumental task. Harvest Moon is destined to fail until they scale down and refine smaller details.
I know you said the game opens up with fast travel etc. But I'm honestly put off by it being so short :/ why
It’s honestly not too bad! After the first 2/3 hours it becomes a non issue 😌
How many minutes per day when you reported
Animal parade will forever be best 3d harvst moon.
Was this your first experience with the Harvest Moon franchise?
I love harvest moon games, will defo be getting this
They haven't had a good game in years though
Light of hope was really good sank loads of hours into that one
@@lainey1248 u must have low standards. That game was far from good.
@@packers12to80I feel like having low standards is the best. If you habe high standards, you'll most likely always be dissatisfied
@@Babo142 lol okay. Sure but I'm not playing a awful game. Period. And that was every switch harvest moon game prior to this game.
I’m getting Nintendo Online
Look sorry most people will say i'm old as fuck but Back to Nature was the GOAT i still compare a lot of games to it and most are lacking even when i compare Stardew Valley its lacking in comparison to Back to Nature it will always have a special place in my heart
Im with u my man..for me,back to nature and friends of mineral town will always be no1 harvest moon game for me..
I love most of us would never want anything to do with true farm life but we will spend money to pretend to do the things they do. 😂 I do love Harvest Moon though
So I need to beat the Story first and then I can get married? mnhhh I do not know If I like that....
I've been pretty disappointed in Harvest Moon games since the break up. This game does show plenty of improvement but it's far from Story of Seasons that's for sure. Since they are competitors, you'd think Natsume would try really hard to make it a game worth comparing. But the character creation sucks, the emptiness of the vast lands suck... the game play aside, I feel like I will feel underwhelmed playing this game. I need immersion, I need creativity otherwise it feels very lacklustered. No way do I believe they will add more to the World to make it feel less empty so I'm yet again disappointed in this Harvest Moon game. Will I buy it? Probably... will I love it? I doubt it. Is Story of Seasons still the superior franchise? Absolutely.
Sounds fantastic. Yeah, performance and visuals are a fault of the Switch and Nintendo. Sold my Switch long time ago, but I'll be picking up a Dialga & Palkia Edition Nintendo Switch Lite just for this and Advanced Wars Reboot. Should hold be over to the Switch 2 releases. Hopefully patches can make the day a bit longer (or give the option).
this game looks rough and empty to me
Same here
thats realistic in farmland setting lol. Unlike cities, in farmlands, theres a massive nothing where nothing happens except for the grass that grows. Just look at Montana or Nebraska or so much more midwestern places... or the Japanese country side where you just see people farming, and theres nothing else happening.
@@MaxBlight maybe so but it's a video game. it doesn't have to be realistic and should give the player enough reason to go out there and explore the world, especially if it is an open world game
Same. It doesn’t seem to offer anything fresh and has performance issues. I’ll pass
dang the visual looks unfinished 👁️👄👁️
i was very happy with their direction the first time they released teaser clips. i thought they're still working to make the visual more detailed. but.. wow.. it looks empty and bland.. hope modders would work on it tho, or even better, natsume itself.
other than that, it's a huge leap for natsume. kudos!
glad to see this video...save money ....harvest moon boy & girl is no 1 in my heart...the rest MEH....dont attack me
Just gonna stick to palia🤣
Why are the coffee beans on a tree? 😂
Because coffee technically grows on trees/shrubs. If they're not trimmed they can get massive.
I know, I live next to a coffee plantation and it's definitely not trees as depicted in the game. Coffee grows on shrubs and they could have made it that way in the game, just saying.@@vriskaxtereziotp
Coffee beans grow on coffee trees IRL.
What do you think coffee beans come from? Supermarket?😂
This map is huge!! It's hard to find towns :/ there's just too much! Is it really a farming game anymore? The plots of land are scattered so far from each other you're more invested trying to explore than farm anymore it's a shame the last good game was one world
Game super delay for console and Steam.
Got the game indeed just gave you one chicken feed for just one chicken your chicken will die in the game
Stardew valley should be the new standard for HM and SoS games. They just arent being what they could be.
Have not been a huge fan of Harvest because it is like 2d pixel yuck. But I may try this.
I haven’t bought the game because i was disappointed with One World and it’s hard to trust Natsume again.
Ahhh this is not for me 😢
It's sad what Natsume has done with this IP
Smaller world but with more details would be better. Many games are bullshit today, just thinking bigger is better but no!
I just wish that this game's price was cheaper at least not higher than $30, it's a Harvest Moon game though one of the known franchise of a big farming cozy simulator game since then. but it's not the quality I'd expected from a $50 worth of a game with that kind of animated graphics, it looks bland even the SoS a wonderful life environment looks alive and colorful and well detailed like the grass on the ground, trees, the biomes, water on the lake, this one looks so plain and flat, characters was not looking at you tilting they're head when you pass by them like the previous harvest moon game, they just stood there like a cardboard poster just being moved by a wind, there's no depth in the characters design like giving them more personality and different uniqueness to each other, this game just look and feels just like a beta game rather than a full finished product game. Idk There's something pushing me to get this game since it have a Harvest Moon name on it and I'm a fan since the harvest moon hero of leaf valley on the PSP before... If only the developers really listens and cares to the fans this game would probably more promising. But again! the price what holds me back to get this since I saw what the game looks like on that price, it might be a pass? Idk... If the price drops I might get this though, because it looks decent enough to caught my attention. ❤
It's just sad that it's 2023 and this is the best we can get. The map is big, but it feels soo empty and fake. There is zero depth to the characters (as usual). The customization options are sad.
