Story Of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Review – Farming Simulator

Story Of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Review – Farming Simulator

Story Of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is quite the mouthful. It's the latest in the Story of Seasons franchise. Those familiar with Harvest Moon will definitely want to keep an eye out for this one. For those unfamiliar, Harvest Moon isn't the game it once was. As licences and IPs moved around, the original crew were left without access to the namesake. Cue Story of Seasons launching in 2014; Harvest Moon through and through just under another guise. Story Of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is developed by Marvelous Inc. It's a game described as a farming simulator. Actually, that's possibly a disservice to the game as there's a lot of variety and depth to the game and it feels more akin to an RPG. Fewer monsters to slay; more harvesting, mining, and friendships. You're also fortunat...

From the publishers of award-winning games, Wilmot's Warehouse and Overland comes Chicory: A Colorful Tale.
