Fairly decent gameplay. My favorite so far out of the games. Lots of improvement on interaction.
As there have been many of these games, it's hard to pick it out to be the best of them. The chores and daily activities haven't changed, but Natsume has added little touch-screen features such as interacting with cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and your pet dog and cat. It's simple stuff. The tools and upgrades are all still there, and the girls of this town are all picky in their own ways. Also, you can still acquire the girls of Mineral Town if you so choose. It's more difficult, but they show up for events mostly. A good, well-rounded game that hasn't improved too much in general gameplay, but hasn't decreased satisfaction either.
