Story of Seasons doesn’t exactly paint a picture of the realities of the life of a farmer. It is, after all, one of the hardest, if noblest, jobs. But the sweet utopia that the series offers is pristine escapism, and Grand Bazaar has one of the strongest concepts and executions that we’ve seen in the series. This game is a total delight.

There’s a lot to love in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. It’s the perfect game to snuggle under a blanket with a hot tea, a welcome addition to the incoming fall and beyond.

After over 80 hours of playing Grand Bazaar, I can still say this is a wonderful new entry in the series. And yes, I do think this is the very best STORY OF SEASONS game to be released on the original Switch. If you don’t mind a more hectic farming game, where you’re constantly running around growing stuff, collecting stock to sell at a weekly bazaar and raising the quality of your products, then I highly recommend Grand Bazaar over the other STORY OF SEASONS games currently available. This one might not be for you if you like a more relaxing Bokujō Monogatari game, such as Animal Parade. Nonetheless, I adored the time I spent with Grand Bazaar. I was pleasantly surprised to see Marvelous turn things around and put more time and effort into releasing a fantastic new entry in the series. The game has a lot of life and personality, and I don’t believe it’s at all too short either.

So, to conclude, is Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar worth it? Well, after nearly 25 hours, what stands out most is how Grand Bazaar respects the roots of the series while daring to shake things up. The bazaar system adds depth and rhythm that make farming feel more purposeful, while the art style reconnects with the cozy atmosphere that first drew so many of us in. It’s not flawless, the grind can still be real, and pacing might feel slow for some, but it’s precisely the kind of farming sim I’ve been missing. If you’ve been longing for the charm of classic Harvest Moon wrapped in a modern jacket, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is worth your time. And you know you want to dive right into the seasonal madness that only Story of Seasons can bring you, trust me.

There are some minor elements of Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar that feel like remnants from its outdated DS counterpart. But there’s so much more that is lovingly updated, elevating the experience to one that stands out among its predecessors. Grand Bazaar is a grand remake that’s easy to recommend to fans of the series and fans of farming sims in general. Just like the winds of change brought it richer character stories, an emphasized overarching narrative, and voice acting, hopefully Grand Bazaar’s eastward winds carry these new features and concepts into future Story of Seasons games.
