4 Things Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons Can Learn from Stardew Valley
Despite being farming simulators, Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and Stardew Valley also offer other recreational activities. Players can also make a living out of fishing and mining if their crops are still growing during the early days of each season. However, these activities are a bit downplayed in the recent Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon games. Fittingly enough, most of the importance is placed on farming, but having more options in the game is always welcome.
In line with this, Stardew Valley has a total of five farms you can choose from before starting the game. There’s the Standard Farm that focuses more on farming, Riverland Farm for those who prefer fishing, Forest Farm for foraging materials, Hill-top Farm for the miners, and a Wilderness Farm for players who prefer fighting. Players aren’t simply tied down to farming and they focus on the livelihood niche they enjoy the most.
