New "Harvest Moon" is a mediocre game. Trying to pull off a BoTW in a farming sim is a big mistake. The world is empty, it focus too much on boring fetch quests and reward-less exploration.
I bet 1000 sats that they didn't create proper sketches for the characters since every single one of them feels like they were made by rookie devs working on a Kickstarter Unity game.
The port is trash, while the performance is good they didn't add any options to change the graphics and window size. There is some weird bug with the animations, because I'm pretty sure they stutter while your character is moving and this is consistent on every single video I've watched.
Not every game has to have an open world. This meme really has to die.
