The EscapistJanelle BonannoMar 20154.5/5 starsStory of Seasons is a refreshing game offering a positive place of escape, and while it is definitely a niche title, it gets everything it does right.

IGNMeghan SullivanMay 20158.4/10Story of Seasons' kept me occupied for well over 30 hours, and even then I could have kept playing until the cows came home. It took awhile for the interesting options for running my farm and business to open up, but the mix of strategy and good old-fashioned simulation made it all worthwhile. It may not have the prestigious Harvest Moon name, but Story of Seasons is definitely the bees' knees.

GameSkinnyJun 20159/10 starsStory of Seasons is a great entry in the long running series that adds a lot of new depth, and has a clever Mario crossover.

Cubed3Albert LichiApr 20155/10Story of Seasons is a very run of the mill farming sim. It doesn't elevate the genre and it is a very long and tedious endeavour. It does have an unbelievable amount of options and fans of the genre that don't look for much will most likely be satisfied. For everyone else, though, it all just takes way too long to get interesting and is a sloppy game with a lot of slowdown. Never mind that there is an unfathomable amount of busy work the game calls gameplay, the rewards don't feel worth the effort. Are there better farming games out there? Probably, but Story of Seasons should be commended for how much content was put into it, even if most of it feels hollow.
