Rune Factory 4

“There's not much to fault in Rune Factory 4, the game looks beautiful with the town of Selphia feeling very much alive due to the scurrying of busybody citizens. The audio is surprisingly good, and I often found myself humming along to the catchy tunes. As it's my first Rune Factory experience I can easily recommend it to newcomers as the game offers up tutorial after tutorial for the uninitiated. I can see this being grating to existing fans though as the beginning of the game does limit your freedom quite a bit, making you trod through simple tasks before giving you a free rein. Saying this there's plenty to do once you're past this stage and it's here where the game really comes alive. Whether you want to farm till your hearts content, pursue romance or do well by your townsfolk, Rune Factory 4 will invite you back in time and time again.”
