What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
But like many 3rd party titles, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town plays horribly on the Switch.
The gameplay mechanics themselves take the classic Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons gameplay and begins to augment it with the sort of stuff that games like Stardew Valley have brought to the genre.
+ Cute graphics
There's not much difficulty to it, but I really feel like Seedling is the ideal way to play.
+ Soundtrack is very nice to listen to, very relaxing.
The game is clearly designed to be navigated with a controller, but I simply can not get it to recognize mine, whether I enable or disable Steam Input doesn't matter.
