I've been meaning to play it for a while but this major update may finally push me to just like it did with Cyberpunk

I've been playing and replaying it since its original PC-only release in 2016. I remember being so excited about a new game finally improving on thr Harvest Moon formula. I think it's safe to say that today it has completely surpassed other games in the genre. The freedom and variety of tasks in the game has since enticed me towards further replays as well. It's so inspiring how passionate Barone has been towards his creation in the long run too.

From what I've seen it seems a bit more targeted at teens and adults then kids and that's kind of what I wanted Harvest Moon to be to begin with so I'm pretty excited to play it.

Also generally the added depth and how fleshed out it seems

It encapsulates some whimsy and magical elements which have always been underdeveloped in other similar games. Filled with mystery, easter eggs and constant progress and discovery. The relationship elements are a lot more mature than Harvest Moon as well. Deals with some of the grit and consequences of living in reality. All packaged together superbly.
