Synopsis
In Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, players begin the game as they set out looking for a fresh start and new surroundings. During their voyage, their ship is hit by a monsoon and goes down. As they drift into a small harbor town, now in a shambles from the storm, it will be up to the player to help rebuild the town and save the lighthouse...but it won't be easy! Nevertheless, with some hard work growing crops, tending livestock, and gathering materials for repairs, players will be able to make new friends, start a family, revive the lighthouse, and save the town!
Looks like 2017 still has some juice left for us gamers to enjoy before 2018.
2017 was definitely a huge year for gaming but 2018, man it's looking even better. For now I'll wait until this comes out and play it into the new year!
