Fae Farm

I often believe that a good farming simulator can be easily determined just by examining it's existing Wiki for available information. Which can help you determine , how easy things can be to research in case you are stuck on some challenge or you want to create something. Fae Farm has proven that it does not belong to the list of good faming sims like Stardew Valley, Coral island etc. And not because of it's wiki, but because of the following: Rating 4/10 Pros: Graphics Music plenty of farming space endless storage space without upgrade Cons: Engine (Unreal engine, I came across million issues with UI or commands not working, also issues with tracking of progress) Bugs (I had critters warp through walls, items disappear and other issues) Events (Festivals are NPCs in one building and that's it) Unlocking crops (you have to use special fertilizer to sacrifice basic crops in order to unlock special crops) Just one more day! (This feeling is completely absent for me through the entire run) Making $ (so this might be strange but it's also related to the crops, you see because in proper farming sim, when you turn cauliflower into preserves or something.... you get more$ he…

There are much better farming sims out there. It's hard to explain exactly where Fae Farm went wrong, but I'll try my best. For one thing, I feel like a game that's been out this long should have basic bugs fixed by now. There are far too many simple UI bugs happening all the time. Never game breaking, just constantly annoying. Ignoring that fact, I think one of Fae Farm's major failures is that there is simply too much to do all at once, and it would benefit greatly from a much more linear system. I found often I would get a "tutorial" quest long after I had already struggled to figure something out myself, or given up and looked it up online. A million things unlock at the same time and you end up with an overwhelm of a too much to do at once, until you realize it doesn't really matter what you do, and the entire game falls flat. The facade fades and you're left with endless fetch quests in a fairy veneer. The relationships also fall completely flat. The fact that you can marry these randoms feels almost out of place, like an afterthought with cutscenes. Upon meeting anyone new you are greeted familiarly with a default dialogue before they even introduce themselves. There are …

It's a good game to play when have time to play, but it can be tedious on making funds to buy items such as attires, upgrading tools and home.

This game was better than I expected. I knew going in that the character interactions were boring, but that is not a deal-breaker for me. I just ignored the characters unless I needed them for a quest. The mining was fun, collecting all the gems, and all the forageables around town was simple but satisfying. I think the initial price they wanted for the game was absolutely ridiculous, but I managed to get it for about $10 and I think it was worth it for that price. The DLCs were not very useful or fun, and I only got them because they are needed to 100% the achievements. No issues on steam deck or with controller.

I recommend this game if it goes on sale; full-price is a bit much for it, IMO. Cute little game, especially if you're just looking for something that doesn't require a lot of thought to figure out / play. Adorable visuals, fun world design, fluid gameplay (for the most part). Would probably be a good farming sim for kids (8-11ish) to play. The story's a little basic, the characters felt a little flat, but overall, it was cute. The ranching + relationships both felt a little barebones, but not bad. For $30 I would expect a lot more, but $10 isn't bad. Didn't get the DLCs so I can't speak to those, but that might be why it felt a little short - only 40 hrs and I finished the main story.
