Innocent Life is a watered-down Harvest Moon game without the series’ trademark depth and charm. Automated processes make life easier, but also remove a significant portion of gameplay; money is easy to come by, but there’s not much worth buying; lacks depth and challenge of previous harvest moon games; rustic charm of the series has been replaced by a generic futuristic theme. The basic Harvest Moon formula remains intact, but it has been overly simplified, and as a result Innocent Life lacks much of the depth and character of previous games in the series. As a result, much the challenge and basic gameplay of the Harvest Moon series is missing from Innocent Life. Innocent Life also does away with the courtship, marriage, and family elements that were integral to previous Harvest Moon games. Some of the simplified processes offer a welcome break from the tedium of farm work, but Innocent Life is watered down to the point that it doesn’t feel like much of a game anymore. read more
