But as I got into it, I found that overall, it wasn’t as good of a remake as I had hoped. The spouse options in this title are also a bit more limited than later games.įor a good amount of the time I spent on this review, I really enjoyed having a new relaxing farming game to play. While waiting for the latter half of the day, I’d befriend some of the characters around town and work on seducing Matthew. Not wanting to neglect anything at the farm, I wouldn’t go to bed until at least after 7. I played like this because in AWL you can actually milk your cow twice a day and the dirt your crops are planted in will dry out at some point during the day, which leaves them being able to be watered again. One other thing that was different is that each season is only 10 days instead of the 30 I was expecting.ĭespite not having much to do at the start, I found myself wanting to be present for the whole day each game day and not sending my character to bed early. Most other Bokujō games don’t actually force an animal on you from the start aside from a dog or horse. However, it seems as if this entry wants you to focus more on animals than crops. I find I don’t get too many animals because I can get burnt out having to do all the tasks it requires to take care of them, every single game day. Also, there isn’t a ton to do in the early game unless you save up and buy a ton of animals and plant a ton of crops right at the start. It’s really more about your life in Forgotten Valley as a whole: the farm, making friends with the locals and seducing someone in town to get yourself a spouse and start a family, of course. Sure the farm is there, you can grow crops and raise animals and whatnot, but it doesn’t take very long to get done with your daily farming duties. What I found different about STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life, compared to other Bokujō Monogatari games I have played previously, is that it didn’t seem to completely focus on farming. You’ll also be given some tools to help get you started. You’ll get a house with a kitchen and TV to use, a couple dirt areas for crops, a barn, a chicken coop, plus a cow to take care of and a dog. After doing this and picking your name, you meet Takakura, an old friend of your father’s, and move to town. At the start of this remake you get to customize your character in a limited fashion, picking your hairstyle, default outfit, eye color, etc. You find yourself moving to Forgotten Valley, where your father once lived, to run a farm. Seeing as I have no nostalgic history with STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life, this review will mostly be about how it holds up in comparison to similar modern entries and in general if it seems like a quality remake or not.Ī Wonderful Life has a pretty basic premise typical of the Bokujō series. Also, when this remake specifically first released in Japan, I had seen some stuff online and got the impression it would be a really charming entry. I feel like I’ve heard in the past though that this was a good entry and have always been curious. I haven’t played the original GameCube version, nor Another Wonderful Life or the Special Edition version. Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, SteamĪ Wonderful Life is not a Bokujō Monogatari game I have any history playing before.
