World's Dawn [Quick] Review

World's Dawn is a Harvest Moon inspired farming game where you work on a farm. In other words, it's a game were you do chores. I don't even like doing these things in real life, so I'm not sure why I enjoy this game.

The game begins with a guy named Pavel leading you and your dog to a town known as Sugar Blossom. Residents of Sugar Blossom mention a guy named Noah Hayseed who really brought life to the place or something like that. I'm too busy not caring to care. Anyways, Noah died a while back and he did a lot, so I've got big shoes to fill, or however the saying goes.

Afterwards, it's time to meet the residents of Sugar Blossom. Once that's out of the way, it's time to begin our chores. Yep, this is exactly what I wanted to do with my life! So what exactly our your chores? As I mentioned earlier, this is a farming game, so... farm stuff. You can buy and crow crops, buy and raise animals, as well as other farm things.

In doing these things, you'll also have to learn how to manage your money, which I'm not good at. For the longest time in the game, I was struggling financially. So badly, that I ended up running out of food for my dog. And to be honest, when I first started I didn't even realize that I was supposed to feed the dog... woops. I guess it just took a while to notice the dog dish as well as the dog food in my inventory.

But back on the topic of money, you'll have to know when to buy stuff and what you should buy, or things won't go so well. Whenever you're low on cash or just saving up, it is very important to take on part-time jobs... if the NPC's will let you. Heck, I'd even recommend doing it if you have money to burn. 

Twice every season, the town holds a market. I've actually never bought anything from any of the ones I've been to so far. Other events will occur in the game over time. They can take anywhere between one and five in-game days to happen, because of the game's slow pace.

In fact, that's why I haven't found true love yet. C'mon Anna, what else do I have to do with you!? We're at two hearts now, so that's a good sign... and it's actually the best relationship I have with any of the residents of Sugar Blossom. Speaking of the residents, if you talk to them, they'll say some kind of randomly generated message. Some things they say require you to be in a certain season or event.

In the version of the game that I am playing, there are only three seasons: Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Things will change depending on whatever season it is. This includes what the townspeople might say, the types of plants that grow, the colors of the grass and trees, and the background music.

Because this is a casual game that doesn't really contain action, pretty much all the music is relaxing and sounds good. The game looks good too. Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm playing a game from the mid-90's... but with modern features, like achievements. Now, there isn't really much to complain about; my only problem is having to wait so long for things to happen. I want to get my love life in this game done, but it just moves so slow.

World's Dawn is a great game and a really good way to waste time. If you're a fan of Harvest moon or any slow-paced games like it, then you should give this a try.
