Farmington Tales

Fantastic hidden object game similar to Tales of Lagoonia and Settlement Collosus, a lot of replayability and interesting mini games

it's good

I enjoyed this game! Pleasing graphics, good casual gameplay with enough things to maintain on the "farming" front between hidden object tasks. I liked that the hidden object tasks had additional bonus conditions to earn more "points" - for instance, "find the next three items in a row from top to bottom of screen". Only downside is the game felt a little quick to complete, but that's a good indication the game was consistently entertaining.

I thought it was GOOD for the first 12 hours or so. (I know it says I only played 5 hours, but I played more like 16 hours across three different computers so Steam just didn't record the time properly.) It's casual farming and mini-game fun for a little while. But then there is a built-in mechanic after a few hours that will essentially END YOUR GAME without any warning. So it starts strong, but then it's like someone smashed your head in with a brick as they run past you on the sidewalk. This is an intentional plot decision that the developers made, preventing you from getting your farm more than halfway built. And this is why I recently changed my vote from "yes it's good" to "no, don't play this one." And with that in mind, now I'll tell you my full thoughts on this game. This is NOT a farming simulator/clicker game (not really). It is a combination of several types of mini-games. The main thing is a hidden-object-search game, where you visit various locations around the farm to find objects to sell to the antique dealer for money. Then you can use some of that money to plant crops, feed your livestock, and make general improvements around the farm, all of which will let you sell more in the farmer's market to get more money to continue upgrading the farm. Meanwhile, you occasionally get some event happening that forces you into a mini-game: minesweeper, rotate pipes to connect the flow, wiring diagram - don't let the wires cross, memory (card game), and perhaps a couple of others. So, it's hidden object searches combined with mini-games and farming. Very casual style of play. Fairly easy difficulty level. Quit (and automatically save your progress) at any time. If you just need 20 minutes of mindless fun to take your mind off things before bedtime, this will give you that. ... Right up until about the 12 hour point. You'll notice earlier that the real-estate agent keeps coming by the farm warning you that the mega-corporation wants to buy your land and the town will let them take it unless you make significant improvements to the property. Unfortunately, each sale you make at the market is only good for maybe $30, and each hidden object minigame is only worth maybe $70. Then suddenly the agent comes back and says the town is shutting down your market until you buy blueprints and build some upgrades. Well, at that poin tin the game your next upgrade will cost around $6000. And you probably only have $35 in your bank. Without your main source of income to earn that $6000, you have NO WAY to build that next upgrade so essentially you hit an in-game pay-wall that ENDS YOUR GAME. Just like in real life, when the bank comes to foreclose on your property there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. This horrible fate is inevitable. There is no way to cheese the system to earn money fast enough to keep up with improving your farm, you cannot keep that evil b!t@# off your back. So at that point it's just like, "well, that just happened. can't sell any more crops. mini-games don't pay enough to keep going. guess i'll just quit." Bottom line: starts off casual fun, ends abruptly and frustratingly.

Mi novia se re enganchó con este juego, es simple, pero bien hecho, heredas una granja en mal estado, y tienes que ir mejorandola en todos los aspectos. entretenidos para no gamers o una experiencia relajada

초반에는 재미있는 수준.. 조그맣게 히든오브젝트를 찾아서 돈을 모으고 그걸로 농장을 위한 물품을 산다던가 하는게 재미있었는데 하다보니 오브젝트들의 가시성도 그렇게 좋은편이 아니고 (여러군데에 아이템을 그냥 다 겹쳐놓고 배경 뒤에 오브젝트를 반쯤 가려놓는 다던지 하는 치사한 배치도 가끔 보이고 크기 대충 맞춰놔서 이미지 늘어나거나 안 어울리는 것들 상당히 많음) 특히 UI 구석에 쪼끄맣게 숨어있는 메뉴 색과 비슷한 달팽이라던지.. UI 인줄 알았는데 숨어있는 오브젝트라던지 하는 경우가 있어서 상당히 골때립니다. 물건찾기 한판을 하고 오면 바로 각종 이벤트로 퍼즐게임들이 생기는데 초반에는 재미있었지만 이게 엄청 자주생기는 느낌입니다. 물건찾기 한판이 끝나고 나면 강제적으로 퍼즐게임을 해야하다보니 승질나네요.

10 hours to finish the main story. Few interesting tips: 1. The selling frequency are fixed. So try to sell ur highest profit products. Animal is cheap and will waste your stock limits. 2. farming the same plant will increase ur speed and profit. 3. fun small game.

Good old fun
