Harvest Moon: AWL is the best in the harvest moon series ever! I found it highly related to animal crossing, so you should try this game out if you are a fan of animal crossing, farming, or life simulation games.
You literally build your farm from scratch, starting out with a little money, a cow, 3 fields ready for tilling and planting, a small cabin, a barn, and a chicken coop. You can buy animals such as cows, sheep, and chickens. Later into the game, you get a free horse, and in the second year you can buy a goat! You have 3 fields: a small non-fertile field, a medium fertile field, and a huge very fertile field. You can buy seeds such as potatoes, tomatoes, watermelons, and way more! There are even trees you can plant, like bananas and peaches! There is also a secret way to make hybrid plants, with endless possibilities!
You can interact with over 20 villagers, each with a unique personality and role in the game. You can explore in Forget-Me-Not Valley, where you live. The environment graphics are beautiful! There is an ocean, a river, and a luscious forest.
You also HAVE to marry in the game. You choose from 3 brides, one who is gentle and polite, one who is quiet and hard-to-get, and one who is average. If you don't marry, you can't get past the first chapter. When you marry, you have a baby that you can interact with, watch grow into a young adult, and influence which career he chooses.
The game has a chapter system. There are six chapters, each with a different number of years, equaling 30 years total. As each chapter passes, people get older and different events happen with you, your wife, and your son. It took me 2 years to complete the game, and I played an average of an hour a day. So, its a long-lasting game worth purchasing.
I HIGHLY recommend this game! I hope this review was helpful, and I hope you enjoy this game! Bye!
