STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar

This is most fun I've had in the SoS franchise. 4.5/5! I did not play the original, so I don't know how it and this version compare. Pros: * Running your stall is an addictive minigame, and I looked forward to it every in-game week, partly because of the money I'd rake in, partly because it was a relief to clean out my storage from all the stuff I'd save up, and partly because it's fun being in charge of that side of the business, instead of dumping everything inside of a shipping bin. * There is a trend feature that can provide direction on what produce to stock your stall with. At the very least, it provides incentive to, for example, make yogurt instead of cheese during one season, instead of always choosing the one that has the highest value. * There is a spoilage system. I think it's pretty lenient and easy to circumvent, so I don't think it should deter too many players who want a casual experience, but I thought it was a nice touch of realism and gave incentive to manage stock, or at least reason to make additional in-game purchases. * When there is a cutscene or someone has a task, the game will notify you and indicate on the map where you can find it. It's great not having to rely on guides. * Once you reach a certain number of hearts with a character, you must complete a task for them before they will love you any more. I liked having that extra challenge. * There is good scaling. Pioneers of Olive Town overwhelms me in the late-game because of how big the farm gets. Grand Bazaar controls the chaos by combining all the makers into three different windmills and offering just enough expansion to still be manageable. * At least maybe until the end of the game, I always felt busy. I like to hustle in these games, so it's satisfying to me. * Instead of produce being either normal or gold, the quality is now denoted by stars. There are quirks that I didn't care for, but for the most part, I liked this system. * I liked the art style. * I liked the theme/messaging of the story. Cons: * I wish the developers would create difficulty modes, because I keep chasing the level of challenge that I enjoyed in Stardew Valley, and SoS always seems to fall short. Grand Bazaar gets pretty close in part thanks to the quality system and how some tasks require you to meet a certain level of quality, but I still feel like I progressed through the main storyline too easily/quickly. Most of the milestones for the SoS games usually involve gathering a certain amount of gold or items. I don't think it would be that hard to program higher difficulties that increase those amounts or create harder lists. * I play these games primarily for the main objective/storyline, and I don't think I was close to being able to marry someone within that timeframe. In fairness, I didn't start gifting the character things until I was halfway through the storyline, so maybe the outcome could have been different, but at the same time, I was talking to them every day, and I didn't delay on completing their tasks any more than what I had to (since meeting certain quality standards or producing certain items takes time), so I think there is a mismatch in how quickly a player can progress a romance, at least for some characters, and how quickly they can complete the storyline. * The quality system applies to rocks, wood, insects, etc. In order to improve the quality of forageables, you have to give enough of them to the respective sprite, and, again, some objectives require a certain level of quality. Having the quality on the crafting materials bothered me because items of different quality can't - understandably - be stacked together, so they'd take up extra storage space. The insects bothered me because catching them wasn't my favorite thing to do, lol. * I kind of wish the trends would have changed every two weeks, instead of every season, just for better variety.

子供の頃DSで遊んでたので懐かしいと思いながら購入しました。地道に作物や動物を育てたり、お気に入りのあの子の好感度を上げたり、昔の思い出を感じました。とても楽しいです！

Ich muss wirklich sagen, dieses Spiel ist den Preis nicht wert. Nicht mal für die Hälfte würde ich es mir kaufen. Warum ich es dann nicht zurückgegeben haben? Weil ich nach zwei Stunden dachte, das es sich noch entwickeln würde, je besser man mit den Bewohner befreundet ist, aber so wirklich viel passiert da nicht, leider. Anfangs sah es auch echt cute aus, aber es ist einfach echt monoton. Man steht auf, gießt, sammelt, spricht mit den Bewohner und ergattert dabei vielleicht eine Quest, die simpler nicht sein kann als "Gehe da hin und bringe/suche Gegenstand X." Wie LANGWEILIG! Zumal es echt ewig dauert, bis man alle Herzen bei den Bewohner voll hat. Nicht man die knuffigen Kühe können über all das hinweg trösten. Ich würde von dem Spiel abraten, es ist viel zu teuer und echt monoton. 1 von 5 Sternen wegen der knuffigen Kühe.
