The verdict
A cozy, exploration-heavy Harvest Moon sequel to Winds of Anthos with a big pretty map, but clunky controls, no free jumping and bugs. Skip it if you want Story of Seasons polish or play on mouse and keyboard.
Great for
Winds of Anthos fans with a controller or Steam Deck who want a relaxed, exploration-heavy farming sim
Main risk
Clunky controls and crouch/camera bugs can block early progress, and it feels overpriced at $50
