The exploration aspect is fun to me and keeps me playing the game. You also collect resources to unlock facilities like a chicken coop, a barn, and the ability to fix bridges. Once you get to a new area, you unlock different types of resources like wood, grass, and minerals. You start the game with one section of your farm unlocked, and you must collect resources in order to expand. You can also decorate your house, but I wish there were more choices for furniture and decor so that I could really customize my space. The animals are adorable, with plump cows with heads just as big as their bodies and the option to adopt multiple types of dogs and cats.

With snarky biker Damon, we rode on a motorcycle and he was angry at his family for unspecified reasons. During one heart event with fisherman Emilio, he let me have the last piece of cheesecake at a restaurant. Heart events are cut scenes that happen when your relationship with a potential partner bumps up a notch - they're frequently charming and revealing, but in Story of Seasons they're utterly generic. It doesn't get any better during the heart events, either.
