Farmtale

Very disappointed! In general I did enjoy the game, simple and relaxing. I played all day, had to log out and after coming back to the game the "fatal error" kept coming back. Unfortunately nothing worked to help. Reinstalling the game, removing save data, disabled cloud saves as well - only worked until I had to log out from the game. It doesn't look like developers are very helpful in that matter either. Extremely annoyed!

Super chill idle/clicker casual farming hybrid. It takes roughly five hours to really start unlocking everything needed before you can let your hired help start raking in the cash for you, beyond this point much of your time will be spent decorating (both your farm and the animals with all their available outfits) and optimising your farm layout as the island is somewhat small. Yes, all of the animals can be dressed up - there are no benefits from doing so, but who doesn't like cute little soldier cows, right? Currently there are some issues with hired help pathfinding, if you place the helper houses too far from the animal pens or have too many obstacles between them you'll find yourself rearranging everything to satisfy the confused little guys. The button for earning quest rewards is also a bit finicky, spam clicking it seems to be the only way it ever works. Achievement hunters will be happy to note all current achievements work, but I'd hold off on going for the 100% here as the developer removed several achievements with the game redesign a few months ago so who knows what they have planned for the rest. Easy recommend at the current price if you've not got lots of similar games, although my spidey sense tells me the finished product may look quite a bit different from what we currently have. There were rumblings of turning this into a tower defence title with a side of farming but this was backed off due to buyer outcry, so only time will tell.

Fairly small and uncomplicated idle game. Progress can be sped up by manually clicking, but it functions quite well on its own for quite a long time before more upgrades are needed to make more progress. My one big problem with the game (at the time of release; this is an early access) is that there isn't enough information behind some of the upgrades. Some upgrades will state a percentage, but not telling me if the bonus is additive or multiplicative with other upgrades on the same building. Speed increase upgrades are equally secret. No information on whether it reduces time by percentage or seconds. This makes it difficult to discern which upgrades are worth going for. Overall though, it's a perfectly acceptable idle game. No microtransactions, no major bugs (to my knowledge) and it's nice to look at.
