![]() Animals also return into their homes automatically at 8 p.m. There are also notable quality-of-life updates when it comes to caring for livestock: a handy bell outside the barn and coop will signal for the animals to come outside to graze when rung, preserving your fodder for rainy days. The tools and items are also cleverly implemented as heads-up displays in the lower left and right corners of the screen, respectively, both aligning with their controller buttons and remaining visually unobtrusive. Whether going from milker to brush and back while caring for animals or taking out just the right gifts for the nearby townsfolk, there’s no need to stop the flow of the game to open menus and rummage around for what you need. Navigating through the rucksack has been mapped to the D-pad for tools and C-stick for items, resulting in seamless juggling. But past this, it’s the modern-day upgrades that make your foray into farming a gratifying one. And jump right in you do - only a short expositional scene stands between starting a new game and diving into farm life. Without any added complexities, just planting seeds and tending to the animals, Friends of Mineral Town is painlessly easy to jump right into. When it comes to farming, the best classic element retained is the simplicity. While this results in a very faithful experience compared to the original, it’s in the modernizations that Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town really shines. The traditional formula of planting and raising crops, tending to livestock, and raising friendship and affection with the local townsfolk that has persisted since the series’ inception remains fully intact, and newer series additions, such as farm customization, are completely foregone. This is especially true for Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, the latest title in the Story of Seasons - once Harvest Moon - farming and life simulation series and remake of the fan-favorite Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and More Friends of Mineral Town Game Boy Advance games. It’s a daunting challenge to strike the right balance between retaining the original’s classic charm, applying tweaks, and implementing all-new features. Remakes always have a lot to contend with. ![]() ![]() Scroll to the end to see the video version of this review! ![]() ![]() 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 ![]()
