VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “It may not be the best game of its kind — its uneasy relationship with the weekly bazaar makes sure of that — but it provides the comforting, enriching, reliable farming and life simulation you’ve come to expect from the Story of Seasons franchise. And it’s better than ever before, thanks to Marvelous’ audiovisual and mechanical overhaul. With more leisurely pacing and fewer bottlenecks, it could be even better.”
