I've seen many positive reviews from people who have only just started playing the Switch version; well I have 'completed it,' by that I mean I have found all "88 wonders;" only to find the game was not completed. At least not for the Switch. The goddess never comes out, only tells you to collect more... there are no more to collect. I thought I had to be missing something but when I looked it up many are saying the same thing. I have not yet found anyone able to complete the game on the Switch. My frustration is that this apparently has been known but not been fixed.
brings me back to my childhood <3

i absolutely LOVE this remake! im 25 and used to play the gamecube version as a kid and this really did bring me back to the game i never finished! it was the only version i played so getting the remake is worth it if it was your previous favorite. there’s new characters & more custom options which is amazing to see. Sound effects/Music is the same as the old version. 10/10 would recommend 🫶🏼

If you are an OG fan of a wonderful life like I am dont listen to the negative reviews. It was so awesome of them to make a remake of this game for those of us who have wanted a portable experience. They didn’t need to remake this game yet they did and if you are a person who wants them to keep remaking the other harvest moon games be supportive and show them it’s wanted by buying the games. As for the gameplay I love the added events as well as the bulletin board. The game still has its charm and still holds a dear place in my heart of nostalgia. I’m glad we are not forgotten in forgotten valley even though we’ve become adults and the new generation can enjoy it as well.
Puts you to sleep.

I think I have every game in this series for the switch. Fan ever since Harvest Moon 64. This one is by far the worst. It literally has a path you can go up to skip ahead 6 hours in the game. Other games I have so many days I run out of time or stamina. There's just not enough to do. It got so boring incredibly quick. I kept playing, hoping it would get better. It's a small village, minimal characters, seasons are 10 days long, you can basically ask a Bachelorette or bachelor to marry you after one season of engaging with them, there's no real challenge. Didn't think my expectations were very high, but apparently they're aiming extremely low...
Ehhh.... Pass

Nostalgia, but just not the same. There are a few QOL improvements but just didn't have the same feel to it. Hit 10 hrs and was just done. The price is way to much for the limited amount of content.
Cozy and nostalgic 😊

This game is so cozy and nostalgic. If you played the original a wonderful life I think you'd love it, I played harvest moon save the Homeland back on the PS2 and it gives me the same nostalgic feelings. Super cozy game !
