Pumpkins
The game was a great balance of level size and difficulty. I really enjoyed the variety and creativity for each of the levels. The atmosphere is great for fall with wonderful visuals and music! I am really glad to have a game that I can play with my 5 year old that he gets into as much as I do. He is able to help me pick up the pumpkins while I move around. Great Job!

I really enjoyed this fall puzzle game! It took me 5+ hours to complete the game, the levels are increasingly challenging
and quite a few of them were tough to solve. Each level tracks your time and the number of attempts it took to complete the level. Overall this game was a good challenge! The visuals and music were excellent and all the different enemies and bosses kept it interesting. Great spooky atmosphere while still being family friendly. You’ll never curse turkeys or scarecrows more when trying to get through some of these levels!

What We Pretend To Be
Cheap, relaxing and really nice soundtrack.
This is the kind of game you buy if you have some money to spare, and you’re in need of a casual relaxation game. There is no point to the game, and it’s really really short, but honestly, I think it was worth the small fee. I love the graphic style, and the lighting is god-tier, but the texturing is kinda off-putting in some areas, with glitching clouds and the ground clipping with the grass. There’s not much to the story, but that’s not really the appeal of the game, so I wouldn’t leave much criticism there.

Very short game play, not much story. Mindless wheat farming, once the builder dies you can’t make any more improvements to your town.

Terroir
DO NOT BUY! This game can be fun but…only for the first hour when your small i thought it was a tycoon game and it doesn’t feel the way. It feels like Rimworld except the challenge is the weather and the “supply and demand system” so i will explain
Weather: Its too unpredictable it feels like some years your in Arizona where it hardly rains and the next year you’re set down in Washington and it rains all the time and sometimes not enough for crops to get ripe, even with no foliage. I enjoy challenging games but tycoon games don’t come to mind unless there is AI and ill get to that later. There is absolutely no research for predicting the weather if they get too ripe you can usually bring them down but if rains so much they don’t grow it is almost a guaranteed FAIL. In the start of the game its easy to deal with but in later stages two bad years you will spend almost a half a million in maintenance and if you can’t produce anything with the rain never stopping and rot eating into you’re yield you are doomed. There needs to be a way less RNG, I want a challenge, not a game based on luck, it just feels very lazy, even for such a cheap game.

Fair warning, I know nothing about wine but I am a big fan of tycoon games so I thought I would give this a try. I’ll deal with the positive first, the game’s graphics are attractive if minimalistic, and serve their purpose nicely. I appreciate the option to pretty up your vinyard with assorted items to create a nice looking creation. The full voice acting is also nice, if somewhat unneccesary. The problem though is with the core meat of the game, the winemaking and tycoon-ing. Making wines is initially a huge challenge, and you will barely scrape through the start of the game with no real knowledge of how to create each wine or the facilities to do so. Slowly, you learn the ‘recipe’ for each strain and can begin to make a 5-star wine every time, quickly accumulating vast amounts of money. Initially, I was stumped by how to increase my renown enough to upgrade my estate or unlock helpful worker tools, but then I realised that the Tavern, a relatively cheap building which also makes tons of cash, earns you an absurd 6 renown per month (for context, a month is about 30 seconds uninterrupted). Once I knew that, the difficulty curve completely reversed and there was no challenge whatsoever. I upgraded to the maximum and researched all tools and techniques within a couple of years, and hadn’t really needed to use any of them to get to a point where I was a millionaire with maximum reputation and totally bored stiff.

The Stillness of the Wind
I cant say as i regret playing this but if someone asked me if they should play it, i would say no and thats why i decided on a thumbs down.
Firstly if, like me, you expected a farm simulator of some kind you would be very wrong. Do not get if you have that in mind.
The only two things i enjoyed enough to note are the visual style and the writing. This game has a very nice visual style, simple but pleasant and enjoyable. The writing is very artsy and poetic.
There are many things i did not enjoy. Nothing about the game is explained at any point other than the blurb on the store page. Its easy enough to get the point and click controls though. The story is unclear, difficult to understand (due to the very poetic nature of the writing) and i couldnt figure out what was happening, political unrest maybe? The day to day routine or running of the little farm is mundane, nothing really changes at any point. The character you play is a little old lady and the movement is SO SLOW, i get shes old but moving around is a chore in itself and gets boring very quick. It looks like there are place outside the farm to explore but after walking about 5 metres out the fence its night time so no idea what they are. The days go so fast that you cant get anything done. Your food does go off but there are no indicators at all as to how long before this happens. I dont know if i did something wrong or not enough of something. There is no indication how much things are worth when the trader shows up so you just have to click stuff until a tick appears. Wolves attack but they move so fast and you move so slow its impossible to stop them (i never managed to at least but i did shoot my own goat apparently). Eventually everything kinda stops for a few days yet again with no explanation or idea on what to do about it.

In The Stillness of the Wind you control an old lady living quietly in solitude.You do minimal task everyday to survive and sustain. You can trade your artisan cheese, goat, chicken, harvested crops for resources you don’t have or need more of. As your family goes far away from town, you receive heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking letters.
You may like this game if you are okay with or want to…
- in-depth letters with emotions of a roller coaster and steadily dealing with some grief/loss (you can’t reply and that can make it harder to endure feeling uneasy like prisoner in chains - at least it was for me)

Red Tractor Tycoon
Its a fun Farming simulation which you can relax and watch your crops grow
While your crops growing you can check out your animals and various industry building you make butter and with that butter and corn you can make popcorn.
Complex game with cool mechanics to enjoy
I just wish there is a way to automate animal production to buildings and animal food to storage as well

Behind the Horizon
I’ve been enjoying this game a lot. It has quests, farming, animals, magic, crafting etc. You get to explore a pretty big world and meet the villagers. The scenery is very pretty and it has seasons. It is a very unique game. The developer has answered questions, taken in feedback and suggestions and fixed bugs rather quickly. I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone.

This is a great game.. The developer is VERY responsive and open to new ideas. and they any fix issues quickly.
Its a farming game BUT don’t expect Stardew Valley, although it has a somewhat similar loop. IE farming, explore ect, although with a “Nature” theme..
Progression can be slow at times, but blossoms after chapter 1..
Make sure you read the help F1 as it explains your tools. Use the MAP.. to keep track of possible resources.

Forestation: Circles Of Nature
basically this is just like the first forestation game but with slight changes. however these slight changes are enough to somehow make it noticeable less enjoyable and less fun to play.
the first game was made with more attention to detail while the second game tries to stay interesting with a larger number of levels. sadly this doesn’t work out at all. solving the puzzles feels more like a job than something you do for fun.
also transitions between levels very often take longer than solving the level itself.

I got this game to play with my daughter. I really wanted to like it. But I have to be honest, it is pretty boring even for a four-year old. Basically you have 365 versions of the same puzzle with different “seasonal” graphics.
Pros:
Cute and relaxing, until you get bored.
Good concept, it could have been a decent Zen Relaxation game with a little more work.
Cons:
Limited UI, you can’t even rotate the camera.
Nothing to interact with outside of the game tiles.. no animals to discover or cute animations to make it interesting.

Fujii
This is a very special game. Fujii is absolutely full of charm, character, and magic. While I haven’t even finished it in 2.5hrs, I’m already in love. It’s the type of experience that you want to play through slowly and savor, enjoying the beautiful sounds and sights. The aesthetic and the experience as a whole is incredibly relaxing - exploring, gathering light to push further, and collecting seeds to grow a garden.
And beyond is the Index controller support. It’s absolutely wonderful being able to grab, pull, and interact with the world using fully tracked fingers. The implementation is extremely well done and adds so much to the experience. This was the first game I tried after receiving the new controllers, and I think it was a perfect choice. I’ll likely use it as a first experience to show others the Index controllers as well.

Did you ever play Okami and think to yourself “Man, I wish this were a puzzle game/gardening sim”? If so, the answer to that wish would be Fuji.
The Good:
1. Art Direction – Fuji has style in spades. The cute cartoon graphics are simple, but lively and loaded with character. Everything moves, wiggles, bounces, and dances in this world. The radiant color palette pops vibrantly, and the environment is full of music and surreal chirps and warbles from the flora and fauna around you. Some areas are genuinely moving in their beauty – be sure to visit the standing stones atop the mountain in the desert. Don’t forget to look up once you’ve activated everything there!

The Space Garden
Space Invaders version of Plantera.
It’s not an idler. Please understand the difference. This is not a game you can run while working. You can play it while watching Netflix… on a different monitor/tv, or while listening to music, or while cooking, but it stops running if you switch tabs! It doesn’t run if you close out!
8/10 Space Invaders Plantera with zombie invasions and terraforming and adding asteroid colonies. I love it to pieces.

Not bad for a game by a single person. It’s pretty solid mechanics wise. Very simple which is good as it doesn’t explain anything in the game except in pictures like helper + apple = money. Everything has little i’s on them so you can click that for simplistic help.
It’s actually fairly enjoyable. Very much a cookie clicker/clicker heroes meats gardens in space. Plant plants, get fruit, fruit gives coins, coins by better plants. Rinse and repeat basically. At first it doesn’t seem obvious how to expand from your 1st planet to another. You get a skill/buy option at lvl 9 I think it was. Every level up if you unlock something it will show a card version of it on screen for you. You get an unlock about every 2 levels until lvl 20. After that it seems to space out more and more. achievements are easy to get. I would say the pacing of the game is a little off but otherwise it’s pretty good.
