    Doraemon: Story of Seasons really pulls you into its story and makes you invested in what happens to its characters. Its perfect pacing and easy to understand play make it all the easier to lose yourself in.

    It’s definitely worth checking out after Stardew Valley. Even if Doraemon Story of Seasons is not as complex as Eric Barone’s game, it still does often pleasantly surprise – and that surprise element is something that was long missing in Story of Seasons. [13/2019, p.86]

    Doraemon Story of Seasons is a good choice for those who no longer have much time for video games, and despite some gameplay issues, it’s so well designed that can easily entertain almost anyone.

    Story of Seasons is surprisingly addictive, thanks to its solid gameplay. The story and the world don’t offer anything particularly new, but it is, overall, a good choice if you’re looking for some virtual farming.

    If you like Doraemon, you'll probably like this tale, but as a Story of Seasons fan, I would rather not spend my farming life in Natura. [Issue #44 – January/February 2020, p. 18]

    Story of Seasons and perhaps even most Doraemon fans will feel at home in the latest entry of the celebrated series. While the manga cat’s inclusion doesn’t exactly breathe new life into the franchise, it certainly doesn’t ruin it. And while it’s on the pricier end of the series’ spectrum, it’s perhaps also the best-looking entry to date. If you’re looking for a cozy farm simulator and are all Stardew Valley-ed out, Doraemon Story of Seasons will surely satisfy.

    Doraemon Story of Seasons looks lovely but feels like work to play.

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.… Expand

    Great game, very relaxing! Charming hand drawn art style that’s very well done. Great mechanics, everything you expect from a Story of SeasonsGreat game, very relaxing! Charming hand drawn art style that’s very well done. Great mechanics, everything you expect from a Story of Seasons game! Great story. Very hard to put down, been playing 3 hours a day since it came out, would be more if I had more time! There is little voice work/acting but the little that there is has not been translated/dubbed so voices are in Japanese still. The noise The main character makes when doing tasks, or exerting himself could get irritating for some, character says “Ei or Eh?” When swinging ax or other hand tools, it doesn’t bother me really which is good because I was concerned watching the pre-release trailer. If that does get on your nerves though you can individually control music, Sfx, or voice volume, so any sound that bothers you can be muted individually and since the voices are not dubbed and there’s so little voice work you don’t really miss out on anything by muting it. Great game over all, I just keep all my sounds on because I don’t mind and enjoy the full experience! I highly recommend!… Expand

The game play itself is veryI am not going to lie, I got this game out of nostalgia for Doraemon, its one of those anime that I grew up with. The game play itself is very similar to all the farming game but the mini game is what makes it fun. Its very, very relaxing, and I am definitely a bit biased due to the after mention nostalgia. Voice over is great, and no romance, since the characters are from a different world with story already set in. Performance and Graphic is very good, not for everyone but for me, I love it.… Expand

Worst of all the random story sections make no sense like the trapped dog that then gets left ubtil you have leveled up your farm or the reloading of scenes just because you've had a conversation. it's rrally sloppy. excuse the typos I can't see the text I'm writing because metacritic has poorly implemened their mobile solution… Expand
