Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition

“Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition is a disappointing farming sim that doesn't do much to keep you coming back. There are many better games out there that deserve your attention including The Winds of Anthos so ignore this and go pick that up. 🐄”

“Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition attempts to emulate the success of its predecessors, but so many issues hold it back, including flimsy controls and an unimaginative world. There is hardly any new content added for the special edition, so there isn't much for returning players to check out either.”

“Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition brings back a classic formula with small improvements, but it never fully recaptures what made the series shine. Farming and daily life are relaxing, yet the slow pacing, stiff animations, and shallow story hold it back. The new inventions help, but they can’t fix the lack of energy in Alba Village. It’s a decent choice for longtime fans seeking a simple routine, but not the revival many hoped for.”
