Doraemon Story of Seasons

I really enjoyed this game, up to a point. People familiar with Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon type games know there is typically an element of minding to get ore, crystals, and other items necessary to expand your home/farm. This game implements characters from Doraemon, and I found the story to be engaging and enjoyable, even with no familiarity of the show they come from. It's a really solid Story of Seasons game with quests to keep you occupied and a good farming element.

I took a star off the game though because there was an aspect to it I personally don't enjoy, though I know some people don't mind it. You have to get VERY deep into the mine to get some of the rare ores to help complete story quests. It's not just optional stuff to expand your farm, but necessary to actually "finish" the game, and sadly I will never get to finish it. Basically, it requires you to use a trick of saving your game per mine level, finding the ladder, reloading your save, etc., in order to preserve enough energy to get as deep as you need to. I have limited time to play games, so saving and reloading 50 times to get down to level 50 is just not something I'm going to do.

If you don't mind spending time on that sort of hack to help you get back later elements of the story, and you already know you like these types of games, I think you'll love it. I really, really enjoyed it up until I hit the point where that sort of thing would become necessary.
