So, it’s mainly just farming then. And, call us perverts, but we find it all rather satisfying. Even on a screen the size of half a cassette tape, our feelings are still hurt when one of our chickens gets sick, and we love the look of ripe turnips in the morning. And Harvest Moon gets better each time, with the control system tweaked for every new installment. A bit unwieldy at first, it’s actually very efficient once you find the best way to use it. The stylus picks a direction; you can run with the left shoulder button, and use the D-pad for actions (or do it all on the touch screen if you want). Shame there’s no shortcut to the rucksack with buttons you’re not using, but that’s our only quibble. The little hearts emitted by our happy beasts make everything all right.

  • Reap what you sow... literally
  • Caring for your chickens
You'll hate
