I decide what to plant and where to plant it I decide when I’m ready to buy my first chicken I decide if I care about maximising every coin-earning opportunity. Harvest Moon 2 is only as intense as I want it to be. I decide what to plant and where to plant it I decide when I’m ready to buy my first chicken I decide if I care about maximising every coin-earning opportunity and buy my vegetable seeds based on their growth-rate-to-final-sale-price value rather than sowing something simply because I like it. How much I decide to burden myself with, and when, is almost entirely up to me, and these two elements make every casual session with Harvest Moon 2 GBC both very easy to keep up with (I know all I have to do is help my farm) and also only as intense as I want it to be (I know I don’t have to work flat out all the time or always plant in the most efficient manner to keep going). The real magic lies in how this one very focused job of mine - running a farm - combines so beautifully with the otherwise vast amounts of freedom the game has to offer.
I like my cute farming games to be cute and about farming, and that’s why I love playing my Game Boy Color copy of Harvest Moon 2 GBC. Who doesn’t want to see games evolve and become more intricate as time goes on, combining new ideas with established mechanics in fun and fascinating ways? Well… me, for one. As the games and gamers playing them have grown, so too have their complexity, with the farming now seen as just one enjoyable part of a whole range of interconnected activities and systems designed to keep players engaged and entertained for months - if not years - on end.Īnd that’s great.
