STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of Mineral Town

Only buy if you are really nostalgic for farming games from 20+ years ago, as this is a "true to the original" remake of a remake of a 26 year old PS1 game. This means the game has: [list] [*] almost no QoL features [*] a quite small (world-)map [*] no story beyond the brief intro sequence [*] no quests or tasks [*] no museum [*] no "projects" to sink time and resources into (e.g. restoring or rebuilding something) [*] no resource processing (furnace, etc.) [*] no combat [/list] You mostly just farm, increase relationship with NPCs and break rocks in the mine (finding ores which you'll mostly end up selling since you only really need six of each type: one(!) per tool upgrade). And you'll likely spend a good amount of your gaming time referring to the wiki or googling because gift preferences are not tracked in-game and some of the game design choices / unlocks / secrets are rather unintuitive and most non-veteran players will probably not come accross them naturally. E.g.: you need to give gifts to the harvest goddess 100 times to unlock the mine elevator.

STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of Mineral Town Master Review (2025 Edition) - Farming, Feelings, and a Fixed-Up Classic ⭐ 4.5/5 stars — Three stars for charm, one and a half for the glow-up. Holding the last half hostage until we get a free-roaming camera. Let’s be real: Friends of Mineral Town is the warm hug of farming sims. The original already had that “cozy 2003 summer vacation” vibe, and this PC remaster actually does it justice — without turning it into some weird mobile cash grab or pixelated NFT hellscape. It’s cuter. It’s smoother. The animals are fluffier, the crops are crisper, and the controls no longer feel like you’re fighting the game to water your turnips. Actual quality-of-life improvements? Yes please. Inventory? Streamlined. Character portraits? Adorable. Milking cows? Still oddly satisfying. The new art style? Controversial for some purists, but honestly it’s like watching your childhood crush come back from study abroad — glowed up, still the same heart underneath. BUT. And here’s the one thing keeping this from 5-star farming perfection: No camera control. Come on, Marvelous. You gave us better tools, better UI, more charm… Why not let us pan the camera a little? Imagine rotating the view while your character sits under a tree. Zooming in on your dog doing nothing. Spying on the harvest sprites like a curious creeper. It would’ve been chef’s kiss levels of immersion. Summary: Visuals: Cute as hell. Gameplay: Classic farming loop with modern polish. Controls: Way better than the GBA thumb cramp era. Camera: Tragically stuck in “2003 nostalgia mode.” Overall vibe: Wholesome, peaceful, 10/10 would marry Karen again. Final Verdict: This remake is a love letter to fans that actually understands what made the original great. It's cozy, charming, and easy to lose yourself in for hours. Just give us the dang camera controls next time so we can look around our beautiful little town like the nosy digital farmers we are. Yours Truly, -MasterLuis

純粋に農業をやりたい人には向かない。 なぜなら住民と会話ばっかりで愛情度や友人度を上げていかなければならないので農作業をやってる時間がない。 朝起きて、木から成る実を取ったら急いで女神にお供えしてカッパにきゅうりあげて（きゅうりも種買って植えて育たないとあげられない）一番遠いコロボックルに会いに行ってハチミツを渡してと自分の農場に帰ってくる頃には既に夕方になっていて、畑を耕す時間も水を撒く時間もなくなる 唯一コロボックルの友人度が上がれば「水やりのお手伝い」をしてくれるが、それまで最低毎日1回ハチミツを渡してそれを3日やらなければ仕事を頼めないしと。 また時間の経過があっという間に過ぎるので効率よく動かないと何もできないまま一日が終わる。 まぁ、それでもよければおススメする

我五折买的。建议所有键盘玩的可以退钱了，完全里面有个最逆天的设置，就是关东西不是esc键位，而是右上角的删除键，最离谱的就是你还没法改。我真怀疑策划小脑萎缩了，我按背包键开个背包，再按下关不了，而且不是按右上角的esc而是你要放下鼠标去按键右上角的删除键。全是反人类的设计，键盘玩的直接避坑，纯有病
