RPGamer - "No matter how much I try to love the Rune Factory series, I always find myself enjoying the ideas and despising the execution. While Neverland constantly tweaks each title, it's often one mighty step forward, and a huge leap back. While I've played every title except Frontier to completion, I feel like this series has so much to prove, but doesn't push the envelope enough to have it stand out in the crowd. While Rune Factory 4 is a solid entry into the series, it has some unfortunate missteps that the series is sadly known for, but refuses to change."
