Time is infinite, and how far you go with your farming career is up to you. Previously, there would have been a time limit to achieve these goals (usually a few years of in-game time, which are split into four seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter) but this time around, there is no set end to the game. It’s down to you to revitalise both the farm and town, attract more people to move to the area, and settle down with a family. In true Harvest Moon style, you are a young man (or young woman) who has been handed the family farm, which, along with the nearby town, has fallen on hard times. But it’s here now, and in many ways it certainly is a new beginning for the series. It’s certainly taken its time to get here too, having been released in Japan and America last year. That game was also available for the 3DS in a barely unchanged form, while A New Beginning has been created with the 3DS in mind. Long-time GodisaGeek readers may know that I’m no stranger to the series, having played a handful of previous games and reviewed the last entry ( Tale of Two Towns) for the original Nintendo DS last year. Far from the violence and criminal activities of Rockstar’s latest, I’ve been tending to a farm, foraging for nuts and herbs and generally becoming one with nature, in the latest Harvest Moon. While the gaming world finally got their hands on the risqué Grand Theft Auto V this week, I’ve been getting filthy in a different way.
