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.

Farm for your Life
tl;dr
Cute farming/zombie survival game combined with running a restaurant.
Achievements are doable, but require some patience.
Story
As you might have alreadey expected an unkown virus has turned people to zombies. In order to survive you have to plant vegetables, cook and serve your customers in your restaurant. At a later time you will be able to get some NPC helpers and even try to search for a cure.
Gameplay
The controls feel right. It is not too complicated and you don’t need to rush too much. If you want to unlock all the achievements, you will need to do some mini games with perfect score. For some people it might feel annoying, but I am not very skillful and I still have done it. Therefore I think it is not that hard.

A fun little casual game.
The zombies aren’t too scary, the animals and toons are cute, the gameplay is easy to learn.
The storyline provides what is being advertised. 5-6 hours of story-related gameplay. After that, one can always continue in “freeplay” mode.
Replay value seems limited, as is the content. No procedurally generated world, which makes replays seem all alike.
A few bugs here an there, nothing major though:
[olist]
- Customers sitting on each others' laps, dishes occasionally getting stuck and being hard to remove. Not a big deal, most of these are self-clearing when the restaurant runs out of customers during nights. Saving and re-loading the game cleared all these issues too.

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.

Farm Life: Natures Adventure
Poorly optimised android port and/or an unfinished port. But as not in early access approach this as a full game.
Way too buggy, including game ending faults at the moment. Not sure the game will contain enough levels to even compete within the genre with the gameplay coming across as cookie cutter. The engine feels clunky and delayed.
The fun of the game is not coming from challenge or story for me.
The tutorial shouldn’t even exist as it explains the easier sections of the game, then does not even touch on the more complex areas and the help files aren’t helpful.

Veeeeery clunky controls and game breaking bugs. The first time the game hicked up completely, couldn’t even get past entering all the data for creating the farm. On the second save I bought a milktool by accident and every NPC now says “Thanks for buying that.”, rendering me unable to purchase anything. I also have one strawberry seed I can plant endlessly. Developer, try harder please.

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.

Graphics: 7/10 (Good) | Gameplay: 7/10 (Good) | Music: 7/10 (Good)
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.

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.
