What players say

Players praise the bazaar system as a standout feature that makes selling goods feel purposeful and addictive. Many call it one of the best Story of Seasons games in years, especially for longtime fans of the series. However, some find the day length stressful and note that wine making, present in the original, is gone. A few mention screen shake and the new freshness system as drawbacks.
