The Verdict

I didn't have much hope for Harvest Moon: A New Beginning going in, as I suspected it'd just be another of the franchise's annual revisits to the same old series staples. The same tried-and-true fundamentals. But though those same basics do form the base of this latest sequel, they're not alone. The game earns its subtitle on the strength of some great new customization-focused features that herald a promising future for the franchise, and give newcomers a good jumping-on point. It starts off slow – too slow – but if you give it time and work with it, A New Beginning may become one of your favorite installments in this series so far.

Great

This is good news! I picked up the 15th anniversary edition from Natsume for my gf for Christmas. I hope she likes it as much as IGN clearly does.
