Story of Seasons; Pioneers of Olive Town ☆ My first impressions
Good morning!
If I wanna be completely honest with you, this game has been mostly what i’ve been doing with my free time lately 😂 thus not advancing much in my current read *aherm*
This was one game that I was super hyped for, though I was kinda scared as i’m kinda struggling with “friends of mineral town” as i’m not sure what to do in it anymore .. granted that one was a remake and not a newer game.
The style and gameplay makes me thing of “trio of town” alot, which was my first game in this franchise so I liked that one alot!! Also absolutely hyped for the DLC coming up that will give us access to the trio of town’s bachelors (& new ones, ive heard!!).
Being a “regular” at thoses type of games, i’m easily bummed out by slow begginings.. so I was pleased that it wasn’t quite the case in this one — mid-spring I had already my coop, first bag expension & one house expension!
I’m currently now in the middle of autumn, and I gotta say I quite like how the game gives you a few animals at the time — newer ones sprawning on your farm on each new seasons, allowing you to buy them after you “meet” them.
The farm also just seems so HUGE– with multiple mining spots and areas/building to fix. Which is also nice that your first coop/barn/etc. Already exist on your farm and you don’t need to buy them.. additionally, quite neat that expanding reparations gives you the option to do it with the materials OR to pay it with money. Sometimes gathering the materials just take way too much time rather than getting the money..
The animal crossing fan in me absolutely LOVE that we have a museum to fill now!! I love to collect little knacks and exposing fishies & treasures 🥰 I absolutely leaped off my seat when I discovered that it was in the game.
Little things i’m not a fan of, however;
- No dachshunds as pet, unlike Trio of Towns
- So many machines!! I like my farm looking neatly, and I refuse to have more than one of each — which slows my gathering of materials.
- talking aout machines.. how you can’t put more than one at the time .-.
Have you played this one yet- or do you want to?
Which SoS/HM is your favorite?
