Farming games have been getting the reputation of sucking lately, with many fans of genre feeling disappointed by recent releases. It got to a point where we also fear being excited about upcoming farming games so we do not end up being disappointed. But is that true? Are all farming games really bad? Or are we missing something? Let’s talk about it.

Personally I don’t think the ports to switch are that atrocious … I do respect people opinion on it it just doesn’t bother me as much as most people
I actually enjoyed most of the recent farming games, including Roots of Pacha, Sun Haven and Fae Farm. Of course there are some greedy devs (or even scammers) who try to ride the hype train, but I would say those are the minority. Most indie devs seem genuinely passionate about their games and it shows imo.
I would love to try Fae farm as well. Can hardly afford games at this time.
I'm fairly new to the cozy gaming community but I've been craving to play Fae Farm for the longest time! The problem is that it's a pretty steep price for my current economic situation >_>
i love fae farm. it's more about the game and exploration than befriending every villager to move on in the story. the switching of the tools is amazing.
i will never understand, why half baked games and ports are released. it makes people angry and the bad ratings will stop people in the future from buying the game.
There are good games and bad ones in every genre
I remember playing a game that had farming in it on the ZX Spectrum. This was from the 80's. Waiting for the cassette to load the game took forever .
If i have to choose between harvest moon and story of season I'll go with harvest moon..but in the end my favourite is rune factory franchises there are the best . But I've seen fae farm and I'll absolutely play it….❤
I realised that we always seem to have similar reviews on games, I also didnt enjoy story of seasons, I found it so boring, almost fell asleep on stream when I was playing it.
Dinkum, Wylde flowers and Fae Farm are all great games.
Just about to start coral island 👀
Farming games can be super relaxing. I actually like them to be a bit on the minimalist side so they stay relaxing and wholesome.
My wife really wouldn't mind winning the steam key btw. 🙂
Thanks Stephanie for another wonderful video. I always wait for your takes on games because you tell us about ports etc. You have saved me lots of frustration and heartbreak. I bought My time at Portia on my Switch and the performance issues just really make it hard. When My time at Sandrock came out and I saw your review, I knew I needed to get a Steam Deck. That game is awesome. Thank you.
I don't own Faefarm as of yet and I would be grateful to receive a key.
Know I appreciate you and your work very much either way. Keep on giving us More Bubbly Videos.
I managed to enjoy Harvestella but hated Rune Factory when I played it. I think you just have to be in the mood for a farming game to enjoy one. If you're not in the mood, then they can just feel annoying
I absolutely LOVE farming games. Of course there is a mass of them currently releasing (and half of them suck, yeah) but nevertheless they always bring me joy and are perfect to come down after a stressful day. 🥹 That’s why I would like to try out Faefarm too! 🩷
I wish this changed my mind but I still feel like farming games are on a decline since a majority of the recent entries are just lack luster. Even one of my most hopeful games Coral Island eventually turned out to be kind of a let down when it finally came out of early access. Sure the undersea clean up was an interesting part of the game but the farming portion was just disappointing, lot of crops pretty much have no use since most of the recipes to make foods just asks for generic categories like "vegetables" and cooking doesn't help you out much at all. The biggest issue with coral island too is that your character isn't really that connected to the town and its ppl, there are always these short cutscenes with interactions that don't involve you and you're a third person intruding on ppls moments. I could go on and on about farming games but the only hope I have left for some new life in farming games is SunnySide and if that fails too idk how the future of farming games is going to be.
About switch ports: As a student of computer science I would like to express my annoyance with the phrase "The switch's hardware is not strong enough". For at least 80% of bad switch ports the problem is not the hardware, but rushed programmaming which results in poorly optimised code. Take a look at Tears of the Kingdom. Runs smoothly and barely major bugs. If a farming game is not able to run on the switch, the problem most likely is, that the devs were not given enough time to optimize their code, to consume as few ressources as possible. Since the switch is no gaming PC optimising the code is crutial.
And then there is of cause Skyrim, which still has not fixed the bug, that the longer you play, the more legs you experince. Which just leaves me speachless. How profit driven can a management be?
Anyhow, I would really like to play fae farm, and am not able to afford it atm…
I absolutely love Kynseed! Such an underrated game! Since the big build update it’s just awesome!! I would love to win a a key for faefaem 😊❤
Like all types of video games there is shit as well as incredible gems to be found. No genre is ever immune.
I like farming games, they are relaxing and can be an escape from the real world. I would like to win a key for Fae farm. I played the demo and I was so excited and impressed at the character customization. It’s not easy to find games that incorporate this. 🥹 Representation matters. And I want to see more of it, gamers are very diverse (age, race, culture, religion, body type, physical appearance, mobility etc.).
Love your channel and your content 😆❤️
Hey Bubbles, great video! Definitely some bad apples in the mix but overall I love the farming sim genre. It's my favorite because of the open-ended format where the game never has to end. I also love decorating in games and most of them have a ton of decoration options for your house and farm. I would love to win a Fae Farm key because the art style is really cute and unique and it has some nice quality of life features that aren't seen in other farming games at the moment. The animals are also adorable. 💚
Thanks for the video–I hadn't heard about the Ooblets controversy. I thought it was oozing with charm nonetheless. I'd love to win a Fae Farm key!
There are bad games in every genre. There are bad platformers, boring shooters, tedious RPGs, and disappointing rhythm games. That just makes it all the more important that we put a spotlight on the good games. (I'll pass on the key.)
Farming Games are Repetitive but I don't mind that aspect of them because once I learn them I can just Zone out and Play.
also Farming Games give Me something I really like as a Player. That is I like starting out with Nothing and clawing my way up to Fortune and Luxury in Settings where I can set a bunch of little Goals for myself that feed into that Goal.
I think as good as the switch is it's getting older now and the Tech in it was older even when it was New so it's not too surprising that Ports don't run that well on it.
when a Game Genre is so Full of Choice and is very Popular. The Features of Each Game and how it ties everything within it Together become very Important. I would love to be able to play Fae Farm because it's one Game I don't have yet.
you have enlightened me to the farming sim drama! I love ooblets so much, it's sad to think that the devs were so unprofessional.
as far as most of them being alike, it's quite ridiculous that people aren't looking to be unique as a game company anymore. I feel like if you set your games apart from the rest, you're bound to get more sales.
I am interested in playing fae farm. I do wish it wasn't so expensive tho
I would love to try Fae Farm! I watched a few streamers playing the game, and somehow, the control and UI seem so smooth.
Love farming games; my favourite is Rune Factory 4, with lots of other things within the game alongside the farming; especially all the mechanics they have.
I absolutely love farming games they are so relaxing. Thankfully I haven’t played any bad ones because I always look at videos before I buy (a lot of your videos too😂). I plan on getting Sun Haven since it’s on sale right now on Steam😊 I heard mixed reviews of Fae Farm, but I decided to play the demo and was absolutely hooked. I would love to be able to play the full game!
I’m so glad you spotlighted kynseed! That game needs way more love! And graveyard keeper is sooo good! Great video!
Yeah, I'll admit there's oversaturation of farming sims out there 😅 Even though Animal Crossing isn't exactly a farming game as a whole, it's still my favourite simulation game of all time. Great video, Bubbles!
I tried My Time at Portia on the Switch during the Pandemic and I was so disapointed that I wad very slow to try My Time at Sandrock on the PC. It really plays much differently and was actually fun.
I dont think farming games suck , I think farming games are calm and fun to wind down and relax 🙂
Thank you Miss Bubbles for amazing video!
First off, I love that you're saying what everyone else is thinking when people are mindlessly defending their favorite games' bad performances even though objectively they are lacking in terms of performance or contain many bugs etc. Somebody needed to say it!
Tbh before I watched the video I thought 'No way, Miss Bubbles is now attacking the farming games too like other content creators recently 🙁 ?' I'm happy I clicked on it anyway because my initial thought was proven wrong and I'm so thankful that you're basically taking the whole claim that 'farming games suck' and prove it wrong 😊 There are so many great games to play nowadays and even though while there are definitely some black sheeps the genre is expanding and full of fun games. I honesty have high hopes for the future of this genre as our standards and the competition within the genre are rising! Personally I think that 2024 will be a great year for farming games. Maybe even better than 2023.
(P.S. I'd love to be in the key drawing pool because I didnt have a chance to enjoy Fae Farm yet)
I really enjoyed this video a lot, thank you
I got the special edition of "A wonderful life" purely for the nostalgia and its honestly sat on my shelf after playing it on day one lol Farming games have come a long way in 20 years so its a shame they didn't improve on the gameplay more. Happy to say that Sandrock devs are showing patch videos for fixing frame rate and graphical issues on switch 😀
I don’t think farming games suck. I recently bought Coral Island and I’m excited to play it since I’ve heard nothing but positivity. I’m interested in Fae Farm as well, it’s been on my wishlist for a while.
I think part of the reason people may be hard on farming games is there have been so many coming out, which leads to oversaturation of the genre. Where previously we only had a couple so less to compare to. I would be interested in trying FaeFarm.
I think there's a major problem in all video game development right now – releasing games before they're ready. Many of the complaints about video games right now are bugs or incomplete games. This applies to more than just farming games. I see it in the other genres I play.
I also see a lot of people saying this genre or that genre sucks and it's because, for people who are heavily into one genre or another, that's all they look at, so they see a lot of bad. If someone is only slightly into a genre, they're more likely to only hear about good games from recommendations or videos that point to the good. But if someone is looking for more of a certain type of game, they start diving into the deep end and thus see all the bad out there. There is a lot of bad everywhere!
It's partly why I've stopped supporting video games on crowdfunding sites and don't buy a game until after I've watched several reviews. I've been burned so many times!
For example, Fae Farm has a lot of what I want in a cozy farming game – except how fast the day is. I don't find timing or fast gameplay cozy at all. It stresses me out. So I will get back to Fae Farm after the next update because they finally slowed down time. It's all about having the option to make the game experience what you want.
Wylde Flowers has really spoiled me on what good can be done in this genre for having options. I truly hope more developers pay attention! Since there are a lot of different people who like a lot of different ways to play, they need to start making all those options available. It also makes the games accessible for those who have challenges with certain aspects. Like mini games are not something some people are able to do, so it locks them out of games. But having an alternative allows them to still enjoy the game.
I say this in the board game world, but making a game accessible will make the company more money because more people will buy it. Plain and simple. It's good business, but a lot of people fail to see that.
I like them but no matter how great they are, I seem to burn out once I reach about 50h in any farming game😂
What is wrong with me?!😅
Great video! Stardew definitely brought me in as I was always skeptical of this genre. It's a hard sell to be like "Yeah, go play that game where you run around.. and do work… and talk to people… but it's fun!" 😂Anyway, I hope you're doing better after all the nonsense a while back!
Can we have a top of cozy farming games with good Npc interactions (friendship, romance etc) ?
People disagreeing with you isn't pitchforks. We like the games we like, and it's absolutely okay to not like a game for whatever reason. I dont understand how you can knock AWL for the lack of dialog and yet praise fae farm. People didn't like the price of fae farms price due to the lack of story and characters dialog, and that is absolutely a valid complaint. People stating valid complaints or disagreeing with you isn't a mob mentality.
I agree SO MUCH that devs need to quit promising their games for switch. Understand the limitations of the hardware and make the game you want to make, not the version of your game that will work on the Switch. About a week ago I saw a post where someone was asking when Pathea would make Sandrock available to play on her iPad, because it's all she has for a device. The entitlement people have to just expect any game work on whatever potato machine they have is astounding.
This was a fun video to watch! Like with any genre, the more popular it gets, the more good games but also the more bad ones we get! There's something for everyone 🤗
Hi, Miss Bubbles. I've got a tough question for you. Do you remember that time where there was a smaller company trying to make an open world farming sim a few years ago, and was asking everyone for $30-$50 for their early access game? I paid $40 or so dollars, and I never heard back from them. They disappeared. I can't remember what the name of the game was supposed to be, but it was like a more realistic-looking version of My Time at Portia. The development of the game looked pretty promising.
Another great video Miss Bubbles! Your videos are some of my favorite go to videos when I need to know about cozy games. Thank you for this and the other videos you put out! 😀
I’ve been addicted since Harvest Moon 64. It’s always been just a nice genre to enjoy a bit of something different. Nowadays some are better than others, but there are some amazing ones for sure.
Also 1.6 Stardew! Yay!
Hi love this vid. I like alll farming games. But do hate the time stuff. I like to take my time on a game not be rushed. I love never ending farm games with lots to do to keep me busy. I did get one farm game it was kinda disappointing its call farm land. You only get 4 worlds to farm on. And only 50 funny skins to wear. I finished it. But wish there was lots more to do.
Thanks to cult of the lamb I recently decided to try out more farming games and that same addictive farming, crafting and mining gameplay make the games hard to put down despite some games having more flaws then others. Overall I think the genre is good and healthy with some bad apples to avoid.
