This game is baffling after the huge step up Trio of Towns was over the laggy, annoying design decision-riddled mess SoS. And no matter how cumbersome SoS was, the characters still had depth in that and the game mechanics still functioned. Pioneers of Olive Town is the worst of all worlds: everything is a cardboard cut out, runs like garbage on switch, and it is not a farming game at all.
You will spend most of your time parked next to some kind of crafting machine to feed it materials because you can only craft things one at a time. Farming has been so nerfed, there are no longer festivals/competitions for it or livestock. All your crops will basically go toward tediously crafting thing upon thing and I'm not entirely sure to what end.
There are no characters in this game. They're all soulless robots who just happen to occupy the space outside your farm. Night and day difference from the wholly pleasant and memorable cast of ToT.
Between this and RF5, I guess I'm just going to have to replay RF4 and ToT until I die.

its ok. parts of it are fun. the crafting/customization is like. restrictive. it lags on the switch. the npcs have no personality at all :/ a good pickup if you want a bit of a change in playstyle for SoS style games but it doesn't really have much in the charm.
Behind the occasional poor performance is one of the more in depth farming sims out there with a new crafting system to make every resource feel valuable. Some of the minigames feel a bit pointless and distract from the addictive routine you find yourself in. The characters aren't as endearing as some of the previous SoS/Harvest Moon games and the lack of acknowledgement of your relationship by the characters you romance leaves you feeling like the relationship is only actually happening in cutscenes.
Outside of some of the gripes though the moment to moment routine of the game is very in depth and addicting and probably the most refined version of the farming sim formula.

Played on a Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. 35 hours played, hit credits.
Story of Seasons is taking a ton of hints from the other games inspired by the franchise. They do a ton of new things in this game. Sadly, a lot of it is terribly unbalanced and I ended up becoming rich by the end of Summer.
Everything being unisex is awesome and allowing all customization options being available to each gender is wonderful, including voices. Allows players to really make the character they want.
Characters are fine. The town layout is easy to follow. No more Milker or sheers taking up a tool slot (there’s also a tool pouch). You can take photos of animals, people, whatever. I never feel like I have too little time, to be honest, I feel like I have too much time on occasion.
There’s a lot of good and bad with this game. I do enjoyed it plenty but the unbalances between money and progress is really noticeable. I didn’t even finish the first year and hit the credits. There’s a lot to do, nonetheless. If you like story of Seasons like I do, it’s a good bet you’ll enjoy it. If you’re not into the genre, you might want to skip it or grab it on sale. I’ve enjoyed my time with the game but it wasn’t Stardew or Friends of Mineral Town’s remake.

Even with the PC version fixing everything, and it being an alright game, it misses a lot of charm of other Story of Seasons titles and feels like a massive step backwards compared to Trio of Towns.
Played it. It is fine but gives a feeling of unpolished game. I had great time, but I will just play Stardew Valley instead. I was thinking about "Friends from mineral town" as it looks like superior version of this (with different chi-bi style of graphics. which is not plus for me, but still better than pioneers).
If you played other ones and want more, it is good pick I guess. GG have fun with it!

The game has some neat ideas, but… not very well executed. The crafting system is a giant pain and caring for your animals boils down to just pressing A. The villagers are pretty bland as well.
The biggest disappointment are the DLCs, which basically add tiny areas with some characters from previous games.
Though I think it‘s great that the devs listened to the players and tried to fix some of the issues, the patches didn‘t help me enjoying the game more.

The farming and progression aspect of leveling up your abilities and unlocking new parts of your farm is very fun, but interacting with the townsfolk sucks. They have zero personality and repeat the same boring one-note dialog every time you speak to them. It's extremely disappointing considering I've been a long time fan of the series and this is probably the first game I've given up playing before getting married.
I heard that they're gonna update the dialog so if they do I might pick this back up, but for now I'm shelving it.
