Are you looking for a game that will transport you into a world of small town life and farming simulators? If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, you might want to check out the recently released Harvest Moon: One World. While it’s a great game for those looking for something a little different, there are also plenty of other farming simulator games out there. Here are 10 games like Harvest Moon: One World that you should check out.
1. Staxel
If you’re looking for a game that will really let you flex your creative muscles and explore a vast world all while managing your own farm, Staxel is the game for you. You’ll build relationships with other villagers, customize your house and explore Staxel’s world all while running your own farm. Although there are plenty of differences between it and Harvest Moon: One World, like the fact that Staxel’s world is much bigger and more expansive, there’re still plenty of similarities, such as the strong focus on relationships and the ability to customize your house and farm.
2. Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is one of the most popular farming simulator games out there and it’s easy to see why. You’ll take over an old farm and make it your own, build relationships with the other villagers, explore the game’s world and hunt for treasure. Stardew Valley is a much more story-driven game than Harvest Moon: One World, but they’re still plenty of similarities between the two, like the strong focus on relationships, farming, and exploration.
3. My Time at Portia
If you’re looking for something a little more colorful and whimsical, then you’ll want to check out My Time at Portia. You’ll be taking over your father’s old workshop and building it up to make it your own. You’ll explore the world, make friends with the villagers and collect resources to build up your workshop. And, as with Harvest Moon: One World, you’ll also be managing a farm and there are plenty of activities to take part in.
4. My Lovely Daughter
My Lovely Daughter is a much darker take on the farming simulator genre. You’ll be playing as a father who lost his daughter and is trying to bring her back from the dead. Along the way, you’ll build relationships with the other villagers and manage your farm, but the focus of the game is much more on the narrative and the story. While it’s not as similar to Harvest Moon: One World as some of the other games on this list, it’s still worth checking out.
5. Wild Season
Wild Season is another great choice if you’re looking for a game with a focus on story. You’ll play as a young farmer who’s trying to make a name for themselves in their small town. You’ll build relationships with the other villagers, manage your farm, and explore the world all while uncovering the game’s mysteries. It’s similar to Harvest Moon: One World in that you’ll be managing a farm and building relationships, but it’s much more story-driven.
6. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is another great game for those looking for something a little different. You’ll be playing as a character who’s moved to a tropical island to start a new life. You’ll build relationships with the other villagers, explore the island, and build up your own home. And, of course, you’ll be managing your own farm and taking part in plenty of fishing and bug-catching activities. It’s similar to Harvest Moon: One World in that you’ll be dealing with the same sorts of activities, but it’s much more lighthearted and whimsical.
7. Farm Together
Farm Together is a great game for those looking for a more casual farming experience. You’ll be taking over a farm and managing it as you explore the world and build up relationships with the other villagers. It’s similar to Harvest Moon: One World in that you’ll be managing a farm and exploring, but it’s much more casual and doesn’t have as much of a focus on story.
8. Farming Simulator 19
Farming Simulator 19 is a great choice for those looking for a more in-depth farming experience. You’ll be managing your own farm, exploring the world, and playing through various missions. And, of course, you’ll be taking part in all sorts of farming activities, such as planting and harvesting crops, breeding animals, and selling produce. Although it’s not as story-driven as Harvest Moon: One World, it’s still a great choice for those looking for something more in-depth.
9. The Farming Game
The Farming Game is a great game for those looking for something a little more lighthearted. You’ll be managing your own farm, exploring the world, and taking part in plenty of farming activities. However, the game is much more focused on the actual farming activities than Harvest Moon: One World, and it’s also a lot more comedic.
10. Farming Simulator 18
The last game on this list is the predecessor to Farming Simulator 19. You’ll be playing as a farmer who’s trying to make a name for themselves in the world. You’ll build relationships with the other villagers, manage your farm, and explore the world all while taking part in plenty of farming activities. It’s similar to Harvest Moon: One World in that you’ll be managing a farm and exploring, but it’s much more focused on the actual farming activities.
