Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar review for Nintendo Switch / Switch 2
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch [reviewed], Switch 2
Release date: August 27, 2025
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Marvelous
The Story of Seasons series has always lived in this cozy niche between farming sim and life sim, where your day-to-day rhythms matter just as much as your long-term goals.

This remake stays faithful to its unique spin on the formula – putting the weekly town bazaar at the center of everything – while smoothing out some of the rougher edges from the DS era. But how well does it hold up in 2025, now that farming sims are practically their own genre?

The reasoning for that isn’t clear – only Nintendo would have the answer.
