Rune Factory 2 - A Fantasy Harvest Moon USA

For people that don't really have a clue what the game is about, you should compare it a bit with Animal crossing, with a higher learning curve and a more mature version of life. Don't take that too literally though, there is nothing really more mature about it, what I meant to say was that it doesn't focus too much on a purely imaginary way of living, like animal crossing does, even if it has high moral standards. Where in Animal crossing you have time dependant occurences like a KK slider performance on friday night, aside from the obvious day and night cycle, seasons and holidays. Rune factory goes beyond that, incorporating game elements that rely on time(contrary to ACWW, the time in Rune factory is fictional). If you're looking for a game with persistence, without constant dungeon crawling or puzzle solving, something that is laid back, yet can be challenging to master, this might just be the game for you. It's good to note that theres fighting, farming, fishing, cooking and other crap you can do, and a story and timeline that is realistic and down to earth enough for anyone to get dragged into it. Rune Factory 2 seems to be a pretty polished game, with nice graphics and animations, I'd grade it above average to good. The only thing it really lacks is proper visual aids or an ingame guide, a complete beginner can easily be oblivious to how the simple things work, the good side of this is that you don't get beaten to death with tutorials that take away all the joy of starting up a new game for the first time.
