Farming Life

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.

Inclement

Inclement

How did I not review this game? Basically… for me… its a low tech city builder. Well, city is the wrong word. You have limited space, limited income, so you better plan accordingly. While the game isn’t severely complex it does take serious though into making the best decisions you can.

The game is worth the price and is best enjoyed with the tv or youtube going on in the background. I chose seinfeld.

Total: 7/10 (Good)

Its worth every cent of its price.

Details

Inclement is a very addicting little farm management game with its very special style. Its graphics and especially its font take getting used to and the controls and menues are a bit fiddly, but after a few minutes of gameplay it is quiet fun. Its a great game to play while doing something else – not requiring your full attention. For the most part you are waiting for resources to be gathered in order to upgrade your farm so you can gather more resources. Still its a lot of fun to see your farm grow and to progress through the different aspects of the game.

Greetings fellow gamers…

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!

Now that I have your attention, let’s get to the why..

The primary reason I am no longer an advocate of this product is that back around April 25th, update 1.1.5 was released. This update fixed a few bugs, mostly changed some features. But they broke what I consider a intregal part of the game. You could no longer sell bails. Several consumers reported it within hours of the release. About 21 hours ago a representative of IceFlames finally acknowledged this issue and stated “It will be fixed in the next patch or sooner”.

I started off absolutely fucking hating this game. I literally had to do everything, step for step, that a farmer would in real life in order to farm. Yes, sure, the hint is in the game’s name, but still - I wasn’t prepared for just how freaking much it would require from me, probably because I’ve never played a Farming Simulator-type game before.

Playing the Story Mode (the mode this review is based on, there are others) meant ploughing, sowing, fertilising, and irrigating fields, and then waiting, and then harvesting. There’s a lot of driving up and down fields, and to and from various locations around the map to fetch stuff, deliver stuff, buy stuff.

Harvest Life

Harvest Life

Farmingggg! raises hand

If you enjoy farming games like Farm Ville or Stardew Valley, but at a more amateur level, Harvest Life is the game to consider. I was somehow very addicted to this game once I have started it, and couldn’t stop till I get 100% achievements. However, the game is still buggy in a way, but it didn’t really bother me.

So, basically you do…planting, fishing, chopping wood and taking care of your animals. Apart from the basic chores, there are other adventures within the game, that I shall not disclose. Simple game, but quite some content.

Real player with 76.5 hrs in game

For those who like simple farming game, this is an enjoyable game with decent gameplay. Good for spending your free time sitting and doing relaxing stuff. No complicated thinking

required so it is suitable for beginners and kids, or for days when you’re too lazy to spend brain energy on a game.

The game still could use some improvements, or fixing, though. There are so many glitchy things in farming that had me ponder on quitting and getting a refund. For example, the cow would stack over each other so it became impossible to milk them. I had to resort to hiring a worker and set them on Shepherd task. Which is a big inconvenient, because sometimes the grandpa asks me to milk the cow for daily task, and I can’t get it done using worker/employee.

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.

Look and Find - Curiosity

Look and Find - Curiosity

I couldn’t play this game initially because I only had a touchpad–no mouse–and couldn’t use the zoom feature, which you HAVE to have! Now that I can use a mouse I really like this game: very clever hidden objects, interesting scenes, good music and ambient atmosphere. If you like hidden object games you will will be challenged by this.

Good game, though short. For a better experience, turn the music off and listen to the ambient sounds while finding objects.

Chill Panda

Chill Panda

Baby Pandas grow up fast! Chill Panda is excited to go out into the world but feels worried about exploring alone!

Chill Panda heads to the beautiful island of Chill Ville near the sea where it’s said that a very calm and wise panda lives.

Discover the secrets of the island. Help Chill Panda manage fear and worry. So that nothing can stop Panda from having fun!

Features:

■ Fill Chill Panda’s Well of Wellbeing by drinking water and chewing bamboo

■ Meet the villagers and help them out by farming and clearing the land

■ Use your senses to catch fireflies

■ Create colourful pictures and to decorate Chill Panda’s home

■ Earn coins by completing tasks to buy furniture and equipment for Panda’s home and garden

■ Release energy at the beach by surfing the waves or banging on the drums

So, here’s the important bit… Chill Panda isn’t a medical device but the techniques we use in the game draw on a broad spectrum of scientific studies and evidence. There are plenty of games on the market that address the issue of anxiety in adults but very few designed to help children under eight recognise and manage feelings of anxiety.

We’ve spent the last year in a global pandemic, which is scary for children. However, we knew, before Covid 19, that children were experiencing more anxiety at a younger age. There’s a lot of well publicised research exploring why children are more anxious and areas of children’s mental health to be aware of. Mental health charity Place2Be says two thirds of 10/11 year olds worry all the time. It’s shocking but there’s plenty for them to worry about in the modern world.

By working closely with Dr Caroline Belcher, CGA’s identified four pillars of relaxation. These pillars help refocus anxious children and are incorporated into activities in our game - giving children skills for life.

EDIT:

After playing a little bit more, and unlocking additional stamina for Noby (yes, dear viewer, you’re not stuck at a teensy 100 units of stamina), the game becomes a lot less frustrating to play. Once you realize that you’re basically growing crops for yourself to make food with (for quick stamina recovery and to make the friendship slog less of a thing), that the animals are the main moneymakers of your farm, that your stamina is better spent gathering things, and OH MY GOSH MATERIAL SHED YES I NEEDED SPACE FOR MY ITEMS, this game becomes playable.

Real player with 229.8 hrs in game

game’s good but I really need harvester and tractor

After playing for more hours, I’m going to elaborate what I said above

In regards of crops

Plus points
  • Lots of plant varieties and crop leveling system

  • Massive space, really massive that even dedicating to half of the land for grass and wheats, you have another extra space to plant more

Minus points
  • Crop leveling system does get tedious. Single harvest crops can make it bearable but multi level crop is another story. Found out that multi harvest crops does not level up after its first harvest no matter how much Fancy fertilizer you dump. So just turn those higher level produce to seeds and plant more, right? Right?
