Is it worth getting?

Could I get some Pros and Cons about this game?

[Vroomi]

Pros:
Too Addictive.
Variety between tasks (fishing, mining, farming etc).
Playing casually will be around 70-80 hours.
It's fun.
You can date whoever you want, and as many as you want, even when married.
It's casual, meaning there's no game over. The game allows you to play at your own pace with nothing to worry about.
Alex is a good boy.


Cons:
Meh-ish character development.
Repetitive after 3rd year.
Sluggish start.

[Ballsm]

pro:
the best $15 spent on steam imo

con:
addictive to the point that it takes away from real life

you decide if the con is a good or bad thing

[goldenleaf6]

More pros
music soundtrack is stunning
everything is intricately woven together
emphasis on exploration and discovery
has enough substance to be called a game, easy enough to be called casual
really really really addicting. You can't stop. You really can't stop.
replay value -- multiple maps, different candidates for marriage, randomly generated mine, multiple paths and professions
mod community offers even more
no slaughtering of animals!
relaxing
cons
so addicting you don't pay attention to real life
The characters DO have depth. They're 3D characters, each with their own unique story. There just isn't a ton of romance involved.

Yes, at first i thought the same thing because im more of a multiplayer guy (which is coming). I thought i would get 8-10 hours out of the game. Then i gave it a chance. Boy did i make the right choice. This is one of the best games ive ever played.

Pros:
- Highly addictive
- No main story (What i mean is that there is no one thing to be focused on at one time and then be done with it)
- Upgrading your things actually has a purpose (Not just upgrading something to get better, but you must upgrade certain things to do certain things around the map)
- Keeps you busy and not sitting around and watching plants grow.
- Many different stories from all the different characters and the game rewards you for gaining friendships by giving you: Cutscenes and characters give you things.
- You get the feeling to keep playing (Good or Bad depending on who you are)

Cons:
-Can get repetitive at times
-Kind of difficult to get started (Low on cash in the beginning)

You decide what you do with your money though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can only say I bought that game few days ago and I was thinking it will be just farm simulator with nice pixel style.. but its a full-fledged sandbox rpg game and I really enjoy it.. aswell my boyfriend bought that game day after me and we are both addicted of it atm xD

A lot things to do.. and you decide if you wanna be a warrior or just a farmer :)

There's just 1 con imo.. no multiplayer :/ but I hope it will be added one day. Anyway that game is really great, go and buy it before summer sale end ^^

SDV isn't that much of a sandbox game.

It's been implied to come in fall/winter.

Pros:
- More than just a farming game - You build relationships with other people and live a new life in a small town
- Video game definition of relaxing
- Very open-ended with a lot of random cutscenes that show more about each individual townsperson
- Very addicting (could be a con too but whatever)

Cons:
- Characters aren't really original
- Very slow and annoying start
- Building relationships with others takes a while


All in all I'd say this game is worth checking out if you like relaxing games. It's very slow-paced with happy music and kind-hearted characters. This game just makes me feel good. :D

Imho I find that to be nitpicking, the characters are intended to be stereotypes and the game makes that extremely obvious.

But then again, CA doesn't execute it well, so eh.

So I'm sure I'll find it if I look back far enough in this thread. But I'm fairly certain this IS Harvest Moon. I played the HELL out of Harvest Moon 64 / GB / GB Color games and this looks almost identical. Super excited for this reason - Harvest Moon was my very favorite game of all time as a child lol.

Read the reviews. They exist for a reason.

gamepads works fluently (xb1 controller)
but there are some glitch like you have to choose some crafts by mouse

cons:
- breaks my fingers playing with kb/mouse
- money glitches has been patched

hehe addicting could be either a pro or a con. Such an amazing game but man, be prepared to make some life sacrifices.

Its worth it to get the game, its a very relaxing -play at your own pace- type of game. not too complex, not overly simple. The game saves your progress automatically every night you goto bed so at worst, you'd only lost one day's progress. A bit slow to start, but as you make progress, it feels like you're getting things done.

Pros:
- very casual friendly, play for a few minutesor play all weekend long? Its all up to you.
- no set "end" meaning, you can keep playing the same farm you've spent all the hard work on as many game years (perhaps even RL years) as you wish.
- not locked into 1 mode of playing, meaning, if you'd rather mine, go ahead. Prefer gathering? sure, go ahead. You're a fishing fanatic? Go right on ahead. You like to explore dungeons? well, we've got you covered too.
- Modding support!

Cons:
- I'll just play for a little bit...(fast forward "a little bit") What?!? Its 2am already!?!
- vanilla map and greenhouse might feel a bit small if you're a heavy farmer.
- you might get so addicted you quit your job, move out to the countryside and buy your own farm (actually happened with someone!!)

When you need a little change, try the modding community either over at Nexus or over at Chucklefish. There's quite a bit of activity still for the game, so you might find things that makes things a bit more to your liking if the vanilla game feels like it needs something.
