Harvest Moon Mad Dash - Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4)

Was a bit worried about the shift to action-adventure, but the timed resource-gathering is way more frantic and fun than I expected. I’ve already lost track of time playing through the puzzle stages.

I'm really enjoying how the action-adventure gameplay keeps things fresh for the series, and the food-collecting frenzy in each level is surprisingly addictive. It's a nice change of pace from the usual farming sim, even if the controls take a minute to get used to.

The fast-paced farming and dungeon-crawling mix keeps me coming back for one more run, and the PS4 version loads each stage without any lag. I've already sunk several evenings into it and still find the action-adventure loop surprisingly addictive.
