![]() ![]() There are a few activities to keep you occupied in your downtime from the farm. And keep your marriage intact, hint hint. It is possible that you can fail in A Wonderful Life in the opening years and when a year in-game can take around fifteen hours sometimes, it is highly advisable to keep plenty of saves. That does also mean that some of the frustrating game-ending decisions are still present. A few things that were tedious in the original version have also been streamlined, but if you played the original this remake will feel very familiar, warts and all. Things are a lot more colourful and crisper, but that cartoonish art style is not lost in this updated version. Don’t get me wrong, you can easily identify the resident’s personality as that comes across very well, but it is a very basic social mechanic that has come on leaps and bounds in the decades since the original release.Īs well as some extra romance options, A Wonderful Life has had an overhaul to graphics in this remake. Your character never really responds outside of the occasional yes or no response. Also, it is from an age where game characters would rather talk at your avatar rather than actually ‘converse’. There are contextual comments as seasons progress and also moments in the village where you talk to them, but the lack of variation in speaking day-to-day feels very dated in relation to more modern farming sims. It is when talking with the residents though that A Wonderful Life shows its age. ![]() A Wonderful Life has been updated to not only allow you to create a male/female/non-binary character, but there are extra residents added that you can try and woo by presenting them with a gift each day. It is here you will find the residents of Forget-Me-Not-Valley and all their various quirks. In A Wonderful Life alone there is a crazy scientist, an abominable snowman, harvest sprites that you can only visit if you eat a specific mushroom and much more. Just be aware that Tartan isn’t the weirdest thing about it. If you have never played a Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons game before then don’t panic. As you progress, Takakura will drip feed you new mechanics such as a horse or a sentient plant called Tartan that can help you create hybrid plants. You earn your money through selling produce from the livestock and crops you produce, to invest that into more livestock and seeds. Now though, it doesn’t do anything to really differentiate from all the others out there. A Wonderful Life was good, and probably even quite novel when it first released. Of course, first and foremost, a farming game should focus on the farming elements. After that though, you are pretty much left to your own devices. Takakura will show you the stables, chicken coops and various growing patches around the farm, along with the advice of finding someone to marry as soon as possible. STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life is set in the idyllic coastal town of Forget-Me-Not-Valley. ![]()
