GR:At their worst, simulation games can feel more like work than play. Rather than having fun, you can easily feel stressed out by accomplishing tasks within tightly set parameters, or you're missing content due to unenjoyable-but-necessary choices, or you just get bogged down in granular minutiae that yields no tangible result. But every once in a while a special game will come along and make these types of shortcomings feel worth it. Enter Rune Factory 4.

Joining the world of gaming during the hey-day of the NES and Famicom in 1987, the company has gone to produce some of gaming’s most memorable games. From relaxing romps through virtual farms to deep RPG adventures and fast-paced action games, Natsume has done it all! So for today’s Top 10 we decided it would be fun to look back at the company’s legacy of gaming greatness and name the Top 10 Best Natsume games of all time!"
While each dungeon has its own identity, the Rune Factory 4 Obsidian Mansion is one of the most detailed and environmentally interesting places.
I'm glad to see this series getting so much exposure from so many sites. I'm enjoying the game right now and although I was a little bit worried about which direction the series would go, so far I like it. It seems like they've brought in elements of Little King's Story into the series and it just gives you even more to do, although I would like more customization options in terms of the appearance of the main character in future games.
waiting for a price drop on this. looks solid though
