Great game in theory, but in reality it’s a buggy mess. The game crashes repeatedly (in fact it crashes so hard it takes Steam with it) and there’s no way to save your progress other than sleeping, which advances to the next day, obviously. Thankfully when you sleep it’s an autosave, so while you’ll lose progress when the game inevitably crashes every hour or two IRL it’s not too much progress. I’d still call this a game-breaking bug though and the developer doesn’t care at all. I went on the forums to report the bug, found a thread where the developer had responded basically saying “oh sorry about that, just use a different PC” and posted in there asking why it was happening and saying that I DON’T HAVE ANOTHER PC because I’m not made of money and the developer responded by regurgitating the same “fix”: “just use a different PC” that I don’t have, which I DID mention.

I like to play my games on easy mode… I’ll leave you stewing with that for now.
Jumping into it - the first thing to say is that it was addictive. The pull of the game has caught me a few times. Every time I’ve invested a half hour into the game I’ve found myself lost in it for 2-4 times that.
There is nothing wrong with the desire to play more. In normal cases wanting more is a good sign that the game has you riveted. But being at the edge of your seat is not the whole story here.
I like the story of the game to flow nicely so that my experience is filled and void of any boring bits. The experience does not need to be dependent on words to be properly conveyed. Discovering game mechanics, honing the efficiency of a system, or solving a string of puzzles can all be - what I see - as story. And here is where I see two stories clashing.

Hippoboar Rancher ~かばいの牧場物語~
Super cute farming simulator game with a little bit of magic sprinkled in~! It’s not super complicated- you build buildings, raise animals, grow crops, talk to towns folk, maybe complete a quest or two every now and then. Still, the game manages to be very fun, with a hilarious and lovable cast of characters~! I especially like some of the subtle callbacks to other OTUSUN Club games thrown into the script~ I’ve only been playing a couple of hours but I’m excited to see what else the game has in store for me~! ^_^

Little Farm
There are far better casual games out there, but this one isn’t bad. It does get particularly repetitive toward the end, when all upgrades are purchased and you’re left just doing the same thing over and over with no variation, but the timed element still keeps you somewhat on your toes. Essentially, it’s your job as the farmer to harvest the appropriate vegetables to send to market, which you do by creating squares on the field that have the same vegetable in each corner. You will also need to deal with several different kind of pests and such along the way. So, not much of a storyline or challenge here, except in the fact that there is a timer that pressures you a bit toward the end, but it is overall quite relaxing. I did get the game in a bundle, and wouldn’t have paid full price, but it is at least worth playing if casual games are something you enjoy at times. Really, it’s basically what I had expected based on the description and screenshots, so I can’t fault it for not being more than that.

Very funny and kind of addictive matching puzzle game.
It’s easy to play and you’ll learn very fast.
Little Farm have 20 levels, which one with 4 rounds to beat.
You have to take care of your farm and earn money to buy improvements - each one that grants you a new tool or building - to better manage your crops, trucks and water, and deal with bugs, rabbits, crows and raining clouds. You get short comics, bonus levels and oil searching between that levels too.
The game reminds me Triple Town but with different mechanics, and a little of Plants vs. Zombies, because of the progression and shop/upgrade systems. This is very well done in this game too, you’ll want to continue to play to buy that improvements and see them working. But at the very ending it gets boring, because you have to finish the last 5 levels or so, just collecting money but not being able to buy anything more. The only thing that keeps pushing me until the end was the Harvest Mode, unlockable just after finish the entire story mode.

Agricultural Simulator 2013 - Steam Edition
Hands down one of the top 3 worst games I’ve ever had the misfortune of buying, playing, and even help debug. The developer Actalogic is just not up to par to develop quality games, since they use an outdated and broken game engine that has so many holes you’d think it was Fallout New Vegas' Hoover Dam being fought over by the NCR and Ceasar’s Legion.
For 1 whole month a number of players and the CEO of Actalogic tried to work together to debug the game by testing over and over to make a list of reproducable errors (not all that easy to do for some). Each little ‘patch’ would end up plugging one hole to only create 3 new holes in the ‘Hoover Dam’ that is AG2013. In the end Mr. CeO just left for vacation and never returned leaving us with a long list of promises and upcoming updates.

I’ve read all of the reviews and have no doubt these guys are having the issues they are talking about however I bought the game knowing that there are issues and to be honest, it seems to work pretty good for me. I have no severe lag or studdering as I’ve seen mentioned, nothing really out of the ordinary given that I know the game has a few problems. I also haven’t gone looking for problems either.
I did follow the advice of a couple of posts about adjusting the some settings using the command window, don’t know if that helped or not but the game runs fine. As long as you’re not expecting to aquire a polished and completely stable game and you don’t mind the occasional/frequent glitches you should be able to enjoy the game. Be advised, it is a true farming sim unlike Farming Simulator (which I own) or the new Pro Farmer (I’ve tried the demo). You have to do everything manually and it takes time.

Farm Folks
This game published by Crytivo
Join Farm Folks email list to receive news about game updates and potentially get invited to test game.
After washing ashore on Softshoal Island, you are given a chance at a new life. A plot of land awaits your green thumb to transform it into a booming farm, and a new world beckons you to explore its secrets.
Farm Folks offers a delightful mix of RPG and farming mechanics, giving you the freedom to get lost in the world while you build a farm from the ground up. There are many friends to be made, many crops and animals to tend, and a whole island to discover. What are you waiting for?
As you begin to nurture your plot, uncover great mysteries, and meet the citizens of the island, you’ll experience the everlasting magnificence of your new home first-hand–all while you rekindle the memories from your past that caused you to embark on this grand, exciting adventure in the first place. You never would have guessed that finding your purpose in life was just a shipwreck away…
In Farm Folks, live your life as you see fit–there are so many experiences to be had! Working the land and rearing animals is a bunch of fun, but there is so much more on offer here. Let’s run through what you can expect:
It wouldn’t be much of a farming simulator without farming, would it? Farm Folks features the time-tested farming mechanic in which players can purchase or forage seeds and begin to grow their farm into a bountiful and rewarding resource.
Once the soil is tilled and the seeds are nestled firmly into the ground, it’s time for some TLC–Tender Loving Care. You’ll water your plants daily, either by hand or through other means, until each crop has reached its maturation and it’s ready for harvest. Harvesting your hard-earned bounty can reward you in many ways, but if you’re focusing on that bottom line, then it’s time to put some coin in your purse.
After loading your haul onto your trusty mount, you’ll head into town and sell your goods to the island’s exporters. As your purse grows fatter and fatter, the farming process can be enhanced and streamlined until you’re running the island’s most booming farm.
Soon you’ll be wondering if it’s time to invest in one of those fancy mainland automobiles….or maybe someone who can help out around the farm…
Softshoal Island’s farmland is so very fertile because of the island’s local animal population and the generations they’ve spent grazing every acre of the luscious landscape. Today, farmers can continue to reap the rewards of Softshoal’s four-legged (and two-legged!) friends by giving them homes on your property.
The local forester is also a great carpenter, and he’ll make any kind of coop or stable that’s available–for a price, of course. Once the structure is built, you’ll need to stop by the nearby animal breeder to purchase some healthy livestock! Before you know it, you’ll be in the ranching business. Milk, eggs, and wool, oh my!
Nurture and care is key to making sure your livestock is producing worthwhile products. The happier your animal companions are, the higher the quality of their yield! Make sure you’ve got your brushes and special feed handy!
Sometimes reward is found outside the fences of your farm. You’ll need to explore the wonderful and diverse settings of Softshoal to find the valuable items that can’t be found on a shelf in the local general store. These resources include minerals and materials for upgrading your tools–usually mined from Softshoal’s extensive cave system, or fish and other precious sea life that can be fished from the island’s various rivers, lakes and coastlines.
Your progression is enhanced by what you find in the wilds of Softshoal, and sometimes searching for something trivial can lead to a grand adventure you never saw coming. Get out there and see what you can find–don’t forget your pickaxe and fishing rod!
Softshoal’s local community is a character-rich roster of living and breathing souls, all of which are just waiting to share their story with you. From those that live in the island’s coastal town, Port Meridia, to those found out in the wilds, Farm Folks features a diverse, well-thought cast of over thirty characters.
You’ll meet them, find ways to further your relationships with them, and soon you’ll know each one by name. These citizens offer quests a-plenty, and spout dialogue that’ll keep you coming back for more. High relationships come with high rewards, but don’t think everybody in Softshoal is going to be easy to please…
The seeds you sow in the community will quickly begin to bear fruit. However, you better be careful not to grow weeds! Build your relationships with townsfolk by giving them gifts, attending special events, performing quests, and remembering their birthdays. Earn enough favor and maybe the townsfolk will begin giving you gifts in kind. Some nuts are harder to crack than others, but with some finesse, they just might come around. You never know - you might even find love out there.
There’s beauty and intrigue found in every corner of Softshoal. It’s a compelling place that calls the player ever further into the mysterious woods, down into the dangerous caves. As you explore, you’ll see things that you’ll never forget and you’ll experience adventures worth re-telling.
And where better to relay your stories of heroism than back in Port Meridia? This fair-sized town has plenty of places to kick back and enjoy a day away from the farm, but it’s also home to the many festivals that you don’t want to miss!
Every season brings with it a great calendar of holidays that are perfect cause for celebration. You’ll find the townsfolk have a festival for nearly every one of those occasions. Make sure you’re there!
Your character is a reflection of your personality (we assume that deep inside, everyone is an attractive, island-dwelling farmer). As such, they can be customized in any way you desire, including your gender. After creating a glorious persona, we know there will be fashionistas who want to take it a step further. Want to give them a more epic hairstyle or outfit? Visit the barber or tailor! You will soon become a shining star in the farming community.
And so much more!
Farm Folks is whatever you make of it. It’s an adventure driven entirely by you. There is so much more to discover and so much more fun to be had when you get creative. Live this pleasant life to the best of your abilities and become the greatest farmer that Softshoal has ever seen!
Farm Frenzy 4
This is NOT a farming game. It is, in fact, a factory game, the use of farm products as widgets notwithstanding.
If that’s fine with you, then great. Personally I want a FARMING game - without the “social” junk imposed by Farmville.
There is no continuity in this game whatsoever. You are not building a farm, you are not planting crops, you are not able to choose for yourself which farm buildings you want or where they will be placed.
It’s a series of hoops you have to jump through with a set goal, imposed by the game, and totally linear. The only thing that is valued is how fast you can do things. They place the buildings at random so at each new “level”, none of which last more than a few minutes, you are starting over with some random initial conditions. Within each level, the initial settings will be the same, but from one level to the next, you are starting with different buildings placed in varying and seemingly random locations, and with a variable number of farm animals and varying amounts of startup cash.

I have never played any of the prior Farm Frenzy games except the demos. FF4 is a surprisingly addictive game. I am used to buying and playing high-budget AAA games and playing a “casual” game like FF4 is a different experience for me.
I was introduced to “time-management” games recently and I am enjoying this genre because it requires a bit of fast-paced thinking, not just clicking. FF4 can get a little hectic and it takes a while to get through the entire campaign. It is very difficult to collect all the Steam Achievements due to how many rounds there are in the entire campaign.

Farm Frenzy Collection
One of my favorite games! I first started playing it a decade ago on WildTangent and became obsessed. And my partner loves to watch me play, too! The bears are his favorite part. I love the fun animals and progressively more challenging levels. Sometimes the answer is patience- and bears. When I saw it on Steam, all these years later, I was excited to find it on sale. Now I can project it on to the big screen TV and we can play to our hearts' content.

Warning alert! This game is fun and addicting! If a puzzle married farming simulator, the baby would be Farm frenzy collection. I am sorry to have played a pirated versions, until I found the whole series for more than modest price on one of Steam sales, compared to how much fun it gave me.
Pros:
-
Kids firendly!
-
12 games for the price of one!

Doesn’t require very powrfull PC or a lot of disk space.
-
Engaging gameplay!
-
Puzzles to solve!
