It is baffling how a franchise more than a dozen titles in, would suffer from such unusual and strange game design decisions as those found in Harvest Moon: One World. This is unfortunate, given how the premise tries its hardest to intrigue, and its aesthetic is somewhat enjoyable (with a glimmer of a unique gameplay feature here and there for good measure). Unfortunately, it is overshadowed by an overall gameplay design that simply does not work. In a way the charming nature of the game makes sense: it is an indie title meant for the occasional pick up every time someone has a free minute or two to spare. Tackling the game head-on, however, with the misconception that it is a true simulator, thus having in-depth gameplay beyond the huge lore dump at the start; will leave gamers with nothing but seedless disappointment.

Grabbed Ravenous Devil's, Amnesia Collection, Warsaw, and Welcome to Hanwell.
Already owned and played the Amnesia series, but wanted an excuse to play it again and have a console version.
The rest I was interested in trying, so why not now on the cheap.
Not bad for $15.

But all that changed when Natsume released Harvest Moon: Mad Dash and then Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition into the fold. Now though they are back once more, pushing out the biggest Harvest Moon title yet - Harvest Moon: One World."
Yeah, Harvest Moon: Back to Nature was a classic.
The current team that does Harvest Moon games(Natsume?) is not the real Harvest Moon. They have the right to the name so you are getting a watered down Harvest Moon experience at the moment because of the split and copyright laws. The REAL Harvest Moon as we remember it from the past is Story of the Seasons series which is the higher quality version of these games and has finally come over to the rest of the world recently.
Before the same game used to be Story of Seasons in Japan and Harvest Moon everywhere else. Now there are two separate entities with Natsume trying to cash in on the name alone.
Oh. I'm aware of the situation with the series. The last one I bought was Wonderful Life on the Game Cube.
I'm an avid player of Stardew Valley for years now though. That's enough for me.
