Staxel
I really want to like Staxel. I know I could love it. But, it’s an agonisingly frustrating experience to play. I don’t feel I’m exaggerating when I say most, if not all, of the game’s content is a good idea implemented in the worst possible way.
Every time I want to do something, I run into a frustration that doesn’t need to be there. There isn’t one major issue. Everything is wrapped up in so many minor issues it’s almost worse. I could deal with some singular huge flaw. But that’s not it. It’s just so universally flawed all over.

Let me start off by saying that Steam really needs to consider a 3rd option when recommending games to people. This game is fun, and I kind of enjoy playing it, but there are some major things (imo) that warrant a “do not recommend” review, or rather a “recommend this game unless…”
Pros:
Graphics: 9/10
The graphics are cute and colorful and the 3D pixel character designs are fun. Some blocks' graphics glitch through other blocks which can sometimes ruin a certain look the player is trying to achieve with his/her build. There’s quite a large selection of blocks to use in your builds, and I’m sure through modding there are vastly more blocks to pick from. You can also rotate some blocks.

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.

Farm Together
I loved this game SO much. I often left it running idle (hence my 3000 hours logged, yikes) so that I could check in to find crops already grown, eggs already laid by chickens, etc. I played alone, I played with my boyfriend, I played with strangers. Its screenshots became my laptop backgrounds and my calendar pages. Its music became the soundtrack of my life for a year. This game was wonderful. Thank you devs! :)

Pumpkin Days
UPDATE at 852 hours of Play:
The game is no longer early access, and I’m still enjoying it. It’s complete with dating and marriage implemented for the three main towns and the small island community. Harvesting has been improved and mass planting is now available. Crafting, cooking, farming, fishing and bug-hunting are all complete and included, and the museum is fully completable. I’ve spent hours exploring the different paths you can take to defeating the main enemy of the island’s happiness and environment, and getting to know the NPCs - and I know I have many more hours yet to go. I still recommend this game :-)

I’m always lazy to write reviews, and frankly after gamers started caring more about eye candies and online multiplayer than old fashioned content and game humor (to… you know… entertain… rather than walk around the world looking for possible ant animations on the grass…) I have a really hard time finding a game that doesn’t bore me after the 10th enemy is down. So it really is something when I decide to use my precious time on a game review… or any review for that matter.
It saddens me to read so many bad reviews on this game, and so I feel the need to do something about it. Issue 1: the controls… I am aware that there are many people in the world with disabilities that might prevent them from enjoying the chosen base controls or even require a whole different option. My opinion is not meant to diminish their needs. However, from my perspective, a regular person with no such restrictions should be more than able to handle these controls. I have absolutely no issue with them! Certainly at first it wasn’t perfect, but recently a sensitivity slider has been added that worked wonders for me and I no longer have a single thing to complain about it. Also, the devs are working hard to provide another option for those who do need it.

Sun Haven
I love this game but it’s still buggy. I hope that new and bigger updates will soon be released. I find the progress of update releases to be very slow. I’m starting to lose hope that it will ever be updated.

I love this game, it’s beautiful. I love the farming, mining and all the activities you can do within the game. Even though it’s early access I’m in love with it. It is rather buggy, since I have played multiplayer the entire time, my friend gets disconnected really often and he lost all his clothes and things in his inventory so make sure you put stuff in a container before you go to sleep. Avoid opening a container someone else is using because on one occasion it let the other person access the container and the stuff I had just added got deleted. I’m sure the game will only get better in the future.

Farming Simulator 22
Warning! Fanboy (and proud of it) review ahead.
This being the 5th version of Farming Simulator I have played; it’s pretty safe to say that I am a fan of it. There is no doubt. I will start by saying that this is literally the same game as FS19. As it is, FS17-15-13. A common complaint from some people for reasons that I do not understand. What makes our favorite games, our favorite game? If they turned it into a tractor demolision derby; would it be the same game we love now? While that does sound fun; it is not what we all originally bought the game for. We buy (and then rebuy) these games because there is something about them that we like. Why has the GTA Franchise been so wildly popular all of these years? For the reason I pointed out above. Standard Psychology aside…
– Real player with 108.4 hrs in game
(Summary at bottom)
NOT a reskinned FS19. I have about 650 hours on FS19 and I can most certainly say this is much better in many ways, and many things have been completely overhauled.
-
Sounds have had a major overhaul, makes the game feel more realistic and immersive.
-
More placeables than ever, including sheds with working doors, refuel stations (diesel, methane, and electric), seed & fert tanks, etc. Fences too, great addon, easy to use.
-
Many many new brands, and more tire brand options. Also license plates for equipment and vehicles.
