Best Harvest Moon yet

I've played games since the Gameboy Harvest Moon. The classics (which stay in their way unmatched) all the glory, but Animal Parade has long time made me again a lot of fun. There are many plus points but also a few reviews.

Positives:
- You can choose the sex of the play character
- You can have two (instead often only one) child
- Spouse and child may help on the farm
- Longer-term story (honestly I did everything achieved in most Harvest Moon games in a year now you have but how do I find more to do.)
- Hot map design: large landscapes and finally again a charming Stadtmap
- Great graphics
- Animals: I find finally again attractively designed and require more attention again.
- Fixed: Are not really something special, but actually as always. But it is always worthwhile to take part because you get good prices.
- Camera: You can take pictures of landscapes and people or animals, and the pictures can then look at the album and / or hanging in the house. Even when festivals are always taken photos. Is just a nice extra.
- Mines: I've never been so great Minenfan, but I find it here nicely done. No K (r) ampf more the correct floor in the mines to achieve, there are almost always stairs there, some one must also uncover only smashed by stones. Anyway, it's easier and more enjoyable. Therefore you have found its ores here but only refining and, hoping for luck, because otherwise one almost gets in this process only scrap.
- Dialogues / Events with spouse and child: I find time again made more beautiful, in other games lacked the whole heart. But just the kids here are really sweet as sugar and have soul.
- Many outfits and accessories: It has hundreds of design options for your character, which is made really great! His children can clothe.

Negatives:
- Cooking: You can always cook only one meal per pass. It's annoying when you want to cook then quite 40x the same tea for example. Cooking I find in the other HM games also motivating designed by level up, for example. This is no longer so in Animal Parade. The only incentive offers a trophy if you have all of the recipes.
- Residents do not move a lot: The people are generally very stationary and do not move around freely. I find personally but not too bad.
- Lack of explanation: I think some one can not find out yourself. For example, that the space from refrigerator shelf or increase if you buy two of them (but still only one hinstellt. This then has the same space as it had two). Or the fertilizer alone shortens the growth period (but only with those who have no fixed) and not quality.

Neutral:
- Time in the game goes slow. One hour in the game corresponds to three minutes. In addition, stops the time in houses. I think it depends on play style and taste, whether one is now rated positively or negatively. I think it's really nice that you do not have abhetzen. But if you later teleport option has the circus animals provides you everything to 12 clock noon game time. Then you can of course still very much fish in the Minin, wood degrade etc. but 10 minutes fishing and every game day, I find not so exciting.
