- “Really enjoying this game, tasks are reachable and the storyline is easy to follow and enjoyable to play.”
- “It has a very cute story and a beautiful world to explore; I don't particularly dislike anything about it other than the PC controls being a bit strange to me.”
- “Great game with a good storyline; I have all the DLCs and would definitely recommend it. I've always been a Harvest Moon player, and so far this is the best.”
- “As someone who has played a lot of Stardew and Harvest Moon games, especially growing up, the game is slow, the characters are really shallow and hard to follow in any direction. I get lost on the main story or quests really easily, but the ones I do follow are boring. That's not even mentioning the terrible controls on PC.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, particularly due to slow navigation and a complex crop mutation system. While some appreciate the depth of farming mechanics, others feel it detracts from overall enjoyment, leading to mixed feelings about the game's value despite its nostalgic appeal. Overall, the grind can be off-putting, but many still consider the game worth the investment for farming enthusiasts.
- “If you're looking for a new farming or cozy game, I don't think this is it.”
- “I could go into how shallow the characters are, how slow and tedious getting around is, etc. but my main gripe is the crop mutation system that has been added to recent Harvest Moon games.”
- “It's really rough. I only put 22 hours in, but I couldn't really enjoy the game because of the controls. The story is meh at best (but that's just me), and the actual farming is not what I expected.”
