Real Farm – Gold Edition
I am sorry to say this but this is by far the worst farming simulator game out there. I got a stroke trying to take part in the traffic with a goddamn harvester that I HAD TO ATTACH THE TOOL TO… The tools by the way feel like they are attached with a bunch of rubber dildos.
If you are going to name a game REAL FARMING, I expect some reality like there is no harvesting in rain as it is supposed to clog the machine.
Seriously hope this is not the final form of the game and the developer(s) will venture out to a real farm to get more ideas or just please play some Farming Simulator 19 to get a basic idea.

The Good Life
Just to play through and do the main quest… eh it’s alright. Quirky but it’s fine, just play it then go do another game and forget it ever existed.
To get invested in and mess around? Hell no lol.
From release this was a janky mess of game-breakers and softlocks. The biggest of which was at least patched out (storage).
The content of the game is entirely just “go get this” with everything a convoluted web of ingredients upon ingredients of which everything is a rare drop except meat. Little to no emphasis nor encouragement when it comes being a photographer. Even with thousands of followers, keeping up with the trends on Flamingo barely gives you a few hundred a week so it’s not worth the effort when you could be running around hitting rocks or getting your daily time trial allowance.

Kickstarter backer here, so my review shows as a CD Key review, and will not count towards the overall review score.
That out of the way…
recommending with some serious caveats.
It’s a SWERY game, but not a ‘typical" SWERY game.
Weird, messy, a bit sloppy, a more Eastern POV and stereotype of life in the UK and the West.
Kb/m controls are quite clunky. Controller is better, if the game and Steam recognize your controller (PS4/PS5 recommended- the game seems to reuse towork properly with my XBox One controller).

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.

Bountiful Life
About Bountiful Life
Bountiful Life is the next step in Farming & Life Simulator gaming. You’ve been tasked with the responsibility of taking over an abandoned rinky-dink farm. Maintain a source of income, create wholesome relationships with your friends and family, and discover yourself within Jubilee Village. Your time in Jubilee revolves around the three core aspects of life; your work, your friends and family, and your connection with the world.
Work - As the newest farmer, and member of Jubilee, you have a personal obligation to rejuvenate the farmland back to its former glory. Utilize a wide range of forms of labor such as the husbandry of farming crops and raising livestock, foraging, fishing, mining, and other mechanics.
Friends/Family - Jubilee is home to over 30 unique villagers who all have their own personalities, hopes, and dreams. Getting to know the villagers better can grow into close friendships enjoyed over bonding activities and common interests. Investing time into these relationships can lead to a fruitful outcome, such as marriage. You then have the option to raise or adopt children.
Your Place in the World- An integral part of Bountiful Life’s story is determining how connected you are to the world around you. Explore the history of the Jubilee Village, its people, their myths, and their legends. Learn about the fate of the old spirits that once inhabited the lands of Jubilee, where they went, and how you’re connected to them; or advance the research and technologies to bring Jubilee Village to a new modern age.
Full Release Features:
Co-Op! - Play with up to a group of four players, with full cross-platform cross-compatibility support.

Controller Support! - Full support for generic, xbox, and playstation controllers.
What Makes Bountiful Life Unique?
Co-Op - Alcinous Studios is avoiding the pitfall of making their game single-player from the beginning. Bountiful Life is being developed with the end-goal of bringing you a cross-platform, co-op experience tailored to all mediums.
Artstyle - We have implemented a new standard in the creative direction of Farming and Life Simulators. The vibrant, stylized environment with stunning characters and precise attention to detail creates a more immersive atmosphere in the Village bringing our characters and the world around them to life.
Best Friend Mechanic - Romance is not the only reason to pursue relationships with others. In Bountiful Life, players can also unlock special events and dialogue that lead them to maintain a unique best friend relationship with one villager. Your best friend might even have an influence over your child! So choose carefully!
Mini-Games - Players will use engaging mini-games to complete part-time jobs, win festivals, fish, and cook.
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…

(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.

Lawn Mowing Simulator
This game is utterly satisfying. It must be good if I have over 70 ours on it. Snowing here in Michigan, so I can’t mow like I want to. LMS scratches that itch perfectly!

nice smooth game

Absolutely NOT worth more than $5.00 in its current state. Right now they are charging $22.00 for it. Don’t reward the kind of people who rip people off like this if you care about the future. Their focus seems to have been to create a game with graphics that will look nice in still clips (screen shots) which, upon purchase, has almost no actual content.
There are mods created by regular steam users for other games that offer more content than this entire game. You can throw soda cans and other absolutely pointless “Easter eggs”. Apparently they’ve implemented features like this rather than worked on the two systems which are obviously the most important aspects of the game: A realistic simulator of plant growth and genetics and a realistic trade and economic system that consists of anything more than a couple of shops, all located on a street in the middle of nowhere which your character can visit.

World End Diner
I wanted to rush my review because I do think this game is really good, and it deserved a thumbs up to help! However, I wanted to return to this review to give it a proper analysis for people who are on the edge of purchasing this game;
1. The gameplay loop is very fun and simple. The core of the game consists of gathering/farming/buying materials in order to cook for the animals in the forest. You will unlock more ingredients as you go, and while this is a slow proccess (Ive been playing for 3 Days and -just- unlocked alchemy) it feels appropriate.

Forest Farm
This is entirely playable without a VR headset and has full mouse and keyboard support.
Forest Farm is the perfect answer if you want a game that has zero stress and tons of truly hands-on things to do. Your primary goal at this point in development is basically to plan out and create the perfect farm, all the while working around an oft-growing rabbit infestation. Essentially, it goes something like this: chop down tree mill lumber while growing new trees from recovered seeds craft fences/raised garden beds from lumber safely grow lots of produce profit off crop sales to villagers reinvest coin into further expansion. You also have your faithful cart horse Pedro to aid you in quickly shifting large amounts of produce from field to market, complete with first-person reins which actually work. As well, there are side activities of fishing and mining to turn a profit via fish and gem/potion sales.
