شخص واحد عمل اللعبة دي. البرمجة والرسم والموسيقى والكتابة، كلها. قعد ٤ سنين لوحده. وبعد ما بقت من أنجح الألعاب في التاريخ، فضل ينزل تحديثات ضخمة ببلاش لمدة ٨ سنين. تحديث 1.6 لوحده كان فيه محتوى يتباع كتوسعة. مش بس لعبة عظيمة، دي حجة على إن الشغف مش شعار. S، وأنا هشتريها تاني على كل جهاز عندي.

أنا دخلت اللعبة عشان أهدى، وبعد شهرين عندي جدول مكتوب في نوتة عن مين بيحب إيه في أنهي يوم. الساعة ٦ الصبح: اسقي. ٧:٣٠: هدية لأبيجيل. ٩: المنجم لحد ١٦. ١٧: البحر للسمك اللي بيظهر بالليل بس. ١٩: ارجع نام عشان بكرة فيه عاصفة. الناس بتقول اللعبة دي بتريح. أنا مضغوط أكتر من الشغل. S.

اللعبة دي بتبدأ بإنك بتسيب شغلك في شركة بتاكل روحك وتروح تعيش في مزرعة. أنا لعبتها وأنا في شغل بياكل روحي. فهمت الرسالة. مفيش ضغط. مفيش حد بيموت لو مزرعتك وحشة. مفيش timer عام. تقدر تقعد يوم كامل تصطاد وخلاص. اللعبة بتحترم إنك مش عايز تنجز حاجة النهاردة. وفي نفس الوقت فيها عمق مجنون لو انت عايز تحسّن وتخطط. الاتنين موجودين وانت اللي بتختار.

I played Harvest Moon 64 until the cartridge stopped saving, so I came to this with expectations that were unreasonable and it met all of them. What ConcernedApe understood, that the later Harvest Moon games forgot, is that the farming is the metronome and the town is the point. The crops give you a reason to get up; the villagers are why you stay. And unlike its ancestors, the villagers here have interior lives that aren't gated behind marriage — Pam's drinking, Shane's depression, Kent coming back from a war the game never names. That's a considerable step up in writing from a genre that used to be about giving a girl an egg every day until she liked you. One person made this and then supported it for a decade for free. An S. The best game in its genre and one of the best arguments for solo development that exists.

Perfection save, about 220 hours, and I played it like a spreadsheet because that's what it rewards once you stop pretending otherwise. There's a real optimisation game in here. Ancient fruit in the greenhouse into kegs is the dominant strategy and everyone knows it, but the interesting part is the first two years, where cash flow is tight and the decision of what to plant on spring 1 of year 1 genuinely constrains what's possible by summer. Crop choice, fishing during rain, the Community Center order — it's a tight little economy and it holds up to being taken seriously. What stops it being an S for me is that the optimal play and the pleasant play diverge hard. The game is at its best when you're wandering into the mines at 10pm for no reason, and the spreadsheet version of me never does that. A great game that quietly punishes the way most people want to play it.
