Farmer’s Fairy Tale
I like the style of game. It’s quite relaxing, with no rush to complete main quests. The “timers” on certain quests is only for the extra reward and not essential to the storyline quests. The graphics are nice, the conversations and flow of the story are quite funny (in a somewhat lame kind of way). The game was a little buggy at first, but the upjers team responded to me quite fast and were very helpful to solve the problem.

I had added this game to my wishlist before it came out because it had looked so interesting. After I took the leap of faith in buying it, spending almost an hour non-stop on it, I am very pleased with this game! I was like, “FINALLY”, a game that I can do my own relaxed farming but still have objectives. Not to mention the storyline, graphics, and game sounds are not too shabby at all. They put thought into it and you can zoom in and out of the world, making the control gameplay very easy to handle. It feels like stardew valley with the concept of adding items adds energy, eat food get energy, as well as my time at portia by gathering materials and then having to craft objects. Doesn’t take a long time to get materials. I can already tell I am going to be wasting a good portion of my life on this game. Great job Farmer’s Fairy Tale!

Gooberries
If you’re looking for a cute farm sim, with a unique concept, this is it! At first blush it seems quite simple, but after an hour or so, you start to see more complexity and the pace picks up. The goobers are very cute and, as you play through, you’ll discover the humour of the dev shining through in some very entertaining ways.
I only played a few hours because of time constraints, but I’ll be back into it. Its very fun, and I enjoyed playing it a lot!

It’s a farming simulator in early access, so of course there are some things being ironed out. Luckily the dev is really cool and willing to hear out when players are having issues. I will say there’s not much of an endgame really, i.e. there’s a point where you can easily hit the peak of the gameplay and you won’t find much content left. The dev does post frequent updates about adding content. It just takes time since he’s a solo dev. All things considered, it’s a cute little game that I’m sure I can enjoy playing with my son. He really likes the characters, especially the Goobers.

Among Trees
The game is very beautiful. Game mechanics are simple and easy to pick up for laid back gamers. I expected much more from the overall sustenance in the game, I put in about ten hours of gameplay and im already finished and have everything in the game. Although there is no “end game”, I feel like I finished everything and now the game itself is rather boring.
I am also rather upset there is no audio options, I can’t disable the music or any sounds within the game. The overall audio is extremely loud in my opinion, the bears and cutting down trees are especially loud. I remember the first time running into a bear and jump in my chair because of the volume from the bear roar.

Currently as I am writing this Among Trees doesn’t seem to be being updated, this could change in the future, but the developers had said themselves, “We’ve been developing Among Trees for almost five years now and feel like we’ve taken the game to a great place. We’re planning to fix bugs and optimize the game until the end of the year, but don’t expect any major new features or content. It’s a game we could keep working on forever, but we’ll be moving on to new exciting projects for now!”, Seems to me the game was quite literally abandoned on steam for a last money grab.

Create your own strands of plants to grow on your whale farm and optimize your crop builds according to preferences/playstyle. Modify weapon creatures with a wide variety of submods, change your tools performance for specific tasks and even alter your own body with bio-engineered symbionts.
Fresh farming in a fresh setting!
Explore the surface of the whale across its season-like life cycle of continuous death and rebirth. Use your multitool in skill-driven minigames to clear cancerous overgrowth, infected feather trees and mineral crustations. Grow self-made crops on the hex-skin of the whale and discover hidden interactions between plants, tiles and native vegetation.
(A system inspired by Permaculture, a real life concept about crop synergies.)

Explore the different anatomic regions of the whale and fight various diseased cells, constructs and hardlight entities that have turned against their host. Use a wide variety of modable weapon creatures, both for melee and ranged combat. Make use of your Vet-Suit’s superior mobility and manage suit energy to charge shields and weapons.
Streamlined UI and Mechanics!

Universal tesseract inventory! No need to search through a dozen chests to find that one piece of gold ore.
-
Your whaler tool is a single item that adapts to tasks you want to carry out, but can still be upgraded in individual areas.
-
The time management aspect of the farming portion of the game does not interfere with the other core mechanics. Dungeon crawling only advances time when clearing a room and time of day pauses completely while moding gear, giving you the freedom to experiment and exploring possible builds at your own time.
-
I hope you like smells cause the game constantly tells you the current odor of your surrounding! (with more gameplay implications in the future).
The Village
The art direction is beautiful.
On the other hand the difficulty is not well proportioned… The mazes are very hard, the shadows are too strong compared to the number of life points, the objects are too well hidden. And the game does not give much information about what to do.
(I don’t see any solution on internet…)
Nevertheless I recommend the game for the atmosphere !

The game is really beautiful: the maps, the music and the texts. On the other hand, we are a bit lost in the main story. And the dark areas are very very difficult.

Farming Life
It’s infuriating… but overall quite fun
35+ hours in, this is one of the most infuriating farming-sims that I’ve ever played. This game is NOT an idle-farming-sim like lots of people might expect. You almost constantly have to manage stuff like you have to manually select a farmer, and assign then to go sell stuff EACH time you want to sell stuff. You also constantly have to tell a farmer to wash+feed+treat your dog and cat. If you don’t take care of your dog and cat, then rats come and raid your larders.

I’m giving it a 50% thumbs up because there are quite a few problems with this game. Still if you can figure out how to play it it’s fun. I would like to write up a guide at some point but right away - ignore trying to feed the cat and dog. otherwise you keep running out of their food and have to go buy a ton more. when you ignore them their food magically appears. problem solved. For starters i am just focusing on growing things. no animals to feed. just grow and hire employees. and start off growing carrots so you can meet the first mayor’s competition and expand your land quite a bit. from there just grow stuff and hire lots of employees. get one employee to keep taking stuff to market and selling. plant some fruit trees, buy a couple of bee hives.

Floating Farmer - Logic Puzzle
Cute, relaxing, not too hard. It took me a little under 5 hours to finish the 50 puzzles.
Young players might enjoy this, though they may need help learning how to move a tile where they want it to go. It’s a bit like Rubik’s Cube but nowhere as difficult!
– Real player with 5.6 hrs in game
I liked it, it’s a way of living in a farm environment, in addition to these cute animals, the puzzle sometimes gets a little complicated, but I’m getting used to the game and so it gives pleasure to complete the challenge.

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.
