Farmington Tales

There are 2 ways to view this product: Either it's a decent game with a few problems that stop it from being a great game OR it's an excellent satire of a capitalist society. I prefer the latter. PROS: I enjoyed the extra mini-games available and the ability to skip them without detriment. The humour is cute but not raucous. Most Hidden-Object scenes are quite fair with only some items hidden behind things. I learnt a couple of new words too. There's some interesting bonus features in the HO scenes but it was annoying when the auto-hint one showed up. I liked the story enough and how everything linked together. MAJOR CONS My biggest problems is the game doesn't "train" you properly on things. I maxed out my storage and reduced my prices but near the end, had WAY too much stock in the market, so I ended up ignoring the crops. Secondly, there's no indication WHEN upgrades need to be implemented until it's too late. Sure, you get warnings but I want something specific so I can "budget" for them. Also, you have to buy blueprints THEN the upgrades and I ended up having to write down what the prices were so I knew when I could afford them. There should be a visual indicator - at least - on the map. MINOR CONS: Some clicks in HO scenes don't register You have to be specific in your clicks sometimes and you get penalised for it The hidden gems are TINY and hidden on borders sometimes but you get used to it. The main gameplay involves grinding HO scenes, which item's positions don't change. The dogs on map sprite is disturbingly bad. The storage mini-game was part block-puzzle and part rush-hour. It would been fine being able to freely move pieces over each other... Also, as a mid-point, items are always in the same position. This is usually bad but when you have to grind levels, it ends up being a bonus. I'm glad that the achievements aren't linked to Steam. I'm not bothering with completing them. As for the capitalism satire, over-production lead to food waste. Despite the amount of production, it wasn't bringing fast enough profits. The bank admits to being extremely duplicitous, even resorting to sabotage. Despite having enough money to afford a treehouse, the farmer refuses to buy a working front gate. When the store increases it's customer base, the farm doesn't hire extra employees to handle the workload. Enjoy the game as a casual exercise. It's worth full price but I wouldn't blame you for waiting or a sale.

Не смогла заставить себя пройти сюжет до конца )) Соединение примитивнейшего фарминга (сажаем, поливаем, собираем, рекультивируем, опять сажаем) со сценами поиска предметов - в принципе странная идея, но тут прежде всего проблема в реализации. Вероятно, игра очень, очень сильно устарела, потому что такой отвратительной графики в этом самом поиске предметов я не видела давно - а я сейчас играю в достаточно «древние» по времени появления HOG- и HOPA-игрушки. К тому же одну и ту же локацию приходится проходить по два-три раза. Вечно актуальная тема «отдай кредит жадным банкирам», конечно, обозначена, но раскрыта своеобразно, потому что основной посыл сюжета - честным трудом на жадных банкиров заработать нельзя. Поможет только крупный денежный приз. Даже это бы ничего, но по-моему, количество денег, вложенное в погоню за призом (улучшения и украшения фермы) к финалу точно превысит сумму, требуемую для выплаты кредита. В результате вся возня со званием фермера года кажется контрпродуктивной. Из насмерть поразивших меня нюансов - апгрейд собачьей будки стоит на порядок дороже ремонта половины дома. Графика самой фермы веселенькая, мини-игры простейшие (боже, сколько лет я не играла в сапера!), поиск предметов развлекал только тем, что приличное количество мелкой бытовухи мне оказалось сложно соотнести с ее английскими наименованиями. Ах да, игра без локализации, совсем. Не рекомендую даже с целью убийства времени.

A genius mashup of hidden object mechanics with farmville builder mechanics. A true gem for fans of either genre, and a masterpiece for fans of both.

This is a very hard farming game. Many of the designs are really stupid. If you want to find a good farm simulator, stay away from this one. Cons: -Searching a lot of small items is bad for your eyes. -In order to get water, you must complete a puzzle of broken pipe system. -I hate mine sweeping game. -The Farmer's Society decided to shut down my market just because I didn't have enough money to update buildings. All my efforts ended in failure.

a nice game which combines farming and hidden objects, I really like it
