Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home

To start; it keeps glitching when I close out of storing something in the fridge or cabinet and freezes until I completely close out and restart the app, losing the entire day if I don’t remember to save. Tried reporting it but the customer service button on the homepage doesn’t work so…here I am. The game isn’t fun enough to keep having to play the same day over and over or constantly make sure I’m saving my progress. As for the game itself, it’s average. The days go by really fast which is frustrating when I have a task I *have* to complete but a blessing when I don’t because there’s not a lot of variety when it comes to actual things to do. You take care of animals, plant crops, fish, and mine. It gets old fast. Also, in order to advance to the end of the game (that comes quicker than you’d think), you HAVE to develop a romantic interest and get married. After you get married and the game “ends” you can continue in a free play mode BUT YOU GET PREGNANT. It’s not optional. And there’s no option for getting rid of the kid. That’s where I’ve stopped playing twice now and I think this last time will be my final time unless some big changes are made to the gameplay. Thanks for being a time killer that ended in disappointment. It was decent while it lasted.

I had doubts during early game because it seemed unfinished. However, the more I play, the more I actually enjoyed it! Doing quests to increase stamina, unlock places/events, unlock new tools/seeds etc. are very nice. It keeps me going and entertained. I am now in fall of the 1st year. I just hope glitches will be patched especially the fishing game. There is a glitch where I would teleport out of nowhere and can't even go home until I pass out. Another thing, I hope that the horse will be rideable to the map not just in the farm. It'll make traveling to places faster. Also, when the livestock in the barn are in a way, it gets super annoying and time consuming. Last is moving especially inside the cave. It's so difficult to avoid rocks. I think it'll be better if walking and actually using tools has different controls. Controller support, and pen support will be great. Not sure if this game will get updates tho since I heard it's already finished. But overall, give it a chance and you'll probably like it too!

I put my expectations too much. The graphic is kinda okay but the content, in my opinion it can be improve. Like how they need us to do the quest, it requires so much ingredients and moreover most of them are expensive. Like the crops, they need many crops that cost 30+ gold but after we complete it, we gain something that doesnt match the costs. I spent a day playing and my gold was only like 1k the highest, i cant invest to my barn because of the high demand crops from the npc and the amount of stamina are not enough for me to farming for money. I spent a day just watering my crops and go to sleep. I been playing harvest moon since a kid but this one is almost boring.
