![]() ![]() Sadly, it was never released in my region in the UK, and it always felt like a parallel version of a world I loved so much was forever out of my reach. I can still vividly recall when I found out there was another version of the game (Another Wonderful Life) that let you play as a female farmer. In the same way that Pokemon Crystal felt like a big deal because it allowed me to be a girl trainer for the first time, I so wanted to feel like I was actually in the game myself in Harvest Moon. I always enjoyed my time with the original release, but my young self always wished to be a character of my own making. ![]() So it feels only right that the return of a classic experience like A Wonderful Life doesn't stick to its past roots and grows for a new generation. Happily, more recent games like Wylde Flowers have great representation and many farming adventures like Harvestella allow you to be who you want to be. The remake really just reiterates to me how important it is to have games out there that allow us to see ourselves reflected in them, especially at an early age. I beat Like a Dragon: Ishin but I can't stop playing its supremely chill in-game farming sim Like a Dragon: Ishin Another Life screenshot To the kid I was and the person I am now, I can't stress just how much this re-release means to me. Such openness to let us decide makes all the difference in the world, and I couldn't be happier to see a game I loved so much make a return in a way that's more inclusive. The remake promises to let us be "who you want to be and fall in love with your heart's desire", which means that instead of being locked into the male protagonist of the original with three set marriage candidates, we can choose to be male, female, or non-binary customize our appearance, and marry any "bachelor or bachelorette" regardless of our choices. I can hardly wait to revisit a farming sim that dominated my childhood years, but the upcoming launch of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life on June 27 isn't just personally significant because of my own sense of nostalgia. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful delivered a satisfying sense of progression that other games in the genre tap into, and it had a lot of heart and charm - with locals to get to know, potential spouses to woo, and discoveries to make around the delightful little Forgotten Valley as the seasons changed. ![]() Whether this is your first STORY OF SEASONS adventure or you’re returning to Forgotten Valley, a wonderful life awaits you.I'm certain it's why I adore the likes of Stardew Valley and Wylde Flowers so much today. Looking for more to do around the farm? Take pictures of your family with the new camera feature, dress up in your favourite outfits, or help your fellow residents with their requests. This remake of a beloved classic features plenty of new events, enhanced festivals, more recipes to cook, and a cornucopia of never-before-seen crops.

As the seasons go by, you’ll find your lifelong partner, raise a child together, and watch them grow up before your very eyes.Īfter each day’s work on the farm is done, you can go fishing, hunt for ancient treasures at the local dig site, or chat with your friends in town to build precious memories. As you befriend the valley’s residents and fulfil your father’s legacy, you’ll live a carefree life on the farm growing crops and raising animals.
