![]() These are non-violent titles that will certainly appeal to both adults and the young ones alike. There is no word on pricing details as at press time for Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition, but they should not cost a bomb upon availability. Have you played any Harvest Moon titles before? If you have not, then I would strongly recommend that you give either Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland or Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition a go when they arrive on the PS4. As for the Special Edition release of A Wonderful Life, you would have a fair share of your harem - er, potential life partners, in addition to having the choice of selecting your in-game child’s gender, as well as the option to continue playing indefinitely. However, do take note that it is pure sweat on your brow and the sun beating your back in Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland since it is one of the rare titles in the series that does not allow you to tie the knot and settle down, as you focus purely on the storyline itself. Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland was an original title that launched on the Sony PS2 all the way back in 2001, while Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition is a 2004 title which made its debut on the Nintendo GameCube at first, before being “upgraded” in the form of a Sony PS2 port. The re-release of these games will also target those who missed out on the re-release on the previous generation Sony PS3, where they appeared on the PlayStation Network then. However, it would be the first Sony PS4 release by Natsume, which goes to show just how much of a back seat the developer has taken over the years. Do not expect any kind of zany graphics that the Sony PS4 is able to churn out, as these are re-releases of the PS2 classics, making the idea of such games being two console generations old. The belief that the games’ developer, Natsume, is preparing these titles for a re-release is not misplaced. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has already rated both Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition for the Sony PlayStation 4, and this can only mean one thing - both titles are being prepared for a release among the masses. Harvest Moon is a farming simulator, where you run and manage a farm while having some time on the side to develop a friendship which might even end up with walking down the aisle. The game prides itself in honoring tradition and expanding upon it, but it ends up becoming a game that feels dated, and less complete than its competitors.GearNuke has shared some interesting nuggets concerning not just one, but two titles from the Harvest Moon franchise. It is important to note, that the lukewarm reception revolves a lot around the fact that the game doesn’t really add new experiences to veteran players, while it also removes some of the traditional fan-favorite ones. Another issue some players might face is that the game is a very slow-paced one, that holds the hands of the players and guides them, nonetheless, at some point, any sign of support and guidance seizes to exist, this might please some players, but it definitely is something to consider if you’re not fond of doing things on your own. Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, has controls that don’t flow naturally and take a while to get used to, it improves on some mechanics of other entries from the series, yet sometimes those same improved mechanics don’t work as intended. By all means, it is an RPG game that expects players to manage their resources intelligently, it invites exploration through a relatively big map, that provides different goals, missions, and events. Through the core mechanics of the game, you are invited to fish, forage, mine, and farm resources to create a place for you to live. Loving this game or not, comes by deciding if you, yourself, find the task of re-building a town from scratch is a fun adventure or not. ![]()
