Harvest Moon: One World

At the heart of Harvest Moon: One World is an interesting twist on farming sims, but its bland, soulless world kills all potential.

This new iteration of the escape-to-the-country fantasy replaces all that was charming about earlier versions with an average adventure game

If you're looking for the next Stardew Valley, this doesn't even come close. Harvest Moon: One World is a poor imitation of what the series once was, and it feels more like a rushed mobile game than a full-fledged Switch game. These games have always been about chores, but this one feels like a chore to play. In our opinion, your money is better spent on something that respects you as a fan of the genre.

Harvest Moon: One World is an unfortunate attempt to get this series onto Nintendo Switch. With its bad optimization, bad pacing, and overall weak presentation, it's definitely not among the good farming sims.

Harvest Moon: One World is quite fun when played for the first 20+ hours. However, the lack of relatable characters definitely stands out here. The game also stumbles after completing the story to pull me back into the game for a long play session.

If you’ve always wanted to try out a Harvest Moon title, then Harvest Moon: One World is a great entry point. As I can attest, no prior knowledge of previous games is required. So go forth, farm, and save the world, one crop at a time.

The world is colorless, without imagination, boring and quite small

Harvest Moon: One World turned out to be an extremely weak project that is of interest only to the most loyal fans who are not afraid of disappointment.

Harvest Moon: One World has a clever thought for an investigation-centered cultivating game, however then sets that thought in an unfilled, tedious world.

Harvest Moon: One World has one thing going for it: it taught me to hate again.
