Re: Review: Story of Seasons: Friends Of Mineral Town - Will Fill That Post-Animal Crossing Hole In Your Life

This game is single handedly the best game of my childhood that wasn't Pokemon. I would even argue that it outlasted the Pokemon games of the generation. You know why? Because it never became outdated after elementary school. I would it pick it up in middle school, highschool, and even now into adulthood. The game never gets stale. It is a timeless classic that can be enjoyed and the remake is going to reset the clock on this classic for another decade or so. I can see myself constantly going back to it.

In an age when we have Stardew Valley it doesn't matter. The game is a simple timeless classic that will always have it's charm. It doesn't even need that much to be incredible. Near the end of the last days before Harvest Moon became Story of Seasons, the games were still good, but they were getting a bit complicated to keep interest. This continues onward with the addition of the two next games in the series, so I'm glad to see that Story of Seasons 3 is this simple reimagined classic. It's refreshing, and I sincerely hope that the next couple of games go back to that charm that the older games in the series had instead of just relying on an over abundance of complexity.
