Releasing September 26.

I haven't played a full Harvest Moon game since Natsume went it's own way with Harvest Moon titles, and original Harvest Moon games became Story of the Seasons. I have seen many people say they weren't any good, specially compared to Store of the Seasons games. This one looks pretty nice to me. Going to look for reviews on release.

Do you play farming games? What do you think about Harvest Moon games in general? And what about this one?

They haven't been the same since the split. Honestly stardew valley and My time in porta really fill that void for me now.

Anyone played a story of seasons? Are they any good?

My Time in Portia is really good, also liked the setting of restoring a post-apocalyptic world. I played it on Switch, and eventually got tired of extremely long load times to dropped it midway. May give it another go on PS, I think they have it on PS+.

Story of Seasons are the original Harvest Moon, I have heard they are better than Harvest Moon games, but I haven't played one recently.

Recent Story of Seasons titles have been pretty good. They've put out a few remakes of older titles, Friends of Mineral town and the one a few weeks ago A Wonderful Life. And they also have some new titles, Pioneers of Olive Town.

If you have to recommend only one of the recent Story of Seasons game to anyone, which one will you recommend?

I haven't cracked my copy of A Wonderful Life yet, so I can't comment there. But if you want something closer to the classic games, Friends of Mineral Town is your game. If you want a more modern game, Pioneers of Olive Town is your game. I enjoyed Pioneers more, something to be said for newer game features and a fresh story.

Thanks for the reply. I will add Pioneers of Olive Town to my "to-check" list.
