It's so damn good. The visuals are fantastic same goes for the soundtrack. Though the cutscenes can get boring. But if you overlook that you have an incredible farming sim.
Played for like 20 hours , gameplay is unique and challenging. Mini games are really fun. There is a lot of reading but it’s really thought out. Lots of stories and sort of reminds me of return to the homeland. If you want the most out of this game , watch season 1 and 2 of Doraemon on YouTube the Disney xd make. I have played almost all of the harvest moons and every story of seasons, I love this game so far. Definitely worth it.
The graphics are really nice and the game play is not bad. But, this game suffers from "Japanese **** syndrome" of making cut-scenes last for 7 hours with zero impact on story. For example, the starting scene lasted for 1 hour, give or take 10 mins (and no, I am not exaggerating). It constantly takes you out of game play for some pointless cut-scene that lasts for a long **** time. Thank the gods some cut scenes are skippable.
This is my second dive into "Harvest Moon" series, my first one being on an old GBA game, can't remember which one. I don't care about the "No marriage" option which a lot of people seems pissed about. Can't even remember if the GBA game had it or not as I didn't care. I do not know much about Doraemon franchise or Harvest Moon. I bought this one 'cos the graphics looks amazing.
Not pissed at the gameplay, it's actually fun. Angry at the amount of immersion breaking hour long cutscenes. To make things worse, my 1 month old puppy can come up with a better story than this crap. Remove the cutscenes and the **** story (why even bother with a story in a sim game?) and you have an amazing and relaxing game.
Avoid if you actually want to play a game. Buy if pressing start and selecting "Yes" when asked to skip is your thing.
P.S. In sound settings, set voice volume to Zero. Trust me, I'm doing you a huge favor here.
Perhaps the reason why I did not like this game is because I have never seen any Doraemon related media before. But even so, this game is such a drag. The main character is irritating and stupid. The introduction is incredibly long winded and boring. The farming aspects and variety have been toned down and because you're playing as that silly little boy, there are no marriage options.
The graphics are impressive though and it is a really pretty game.
But overall, I hope they never make a game like this again.
