    I really love farming RPGs such as STARDEW VALLEY (hundreds of hours over multiple platforms), HARVEST MOON, and the like. This game has so much potential, and it is super fun. However, there are quite a few things to iron out. Here's my feedback. Pros: - You start off with the standard 15 seeds to get started, but they're different types! YAY! - It's great that you can get your cat/dog right away, and it costs so little (four coins for a cat!). - The recycling element is awesome. You can…

    So I backed this game on kickstarter, I totally see potential and was hoping for the best. I also do realise it is Early Access. So I was thinking with this new update it would create some depth to a somewhat bare bones type of feeling I had gotten before. I am aware it is a small team as well, but I'm also aware that there are other gaming Developers who are small as well. What I'm saying is that personally, for now, I can't play this game or recommend. It seems quite difficult to get going…

    So the game isn't the smoothest right now, and yes, like other people have said it is a little buggy, but it is within 24 hours of early access release so that's to be expected. I've only played a little so far but will likely spend a good chunk of time in this game over the next few days. I really like it and think this game has all the foundations of a good farming sim. I love the concept and am really looking forward to where the dev team takes this. Some things I really like: + The…

    Now reading through forums you start to understand why the game is in this state. old devs left new devs took over but what it was and suppose to be did not make it into the game. so the game was cut to bring the game into a finish state they make the money and the community gets the crap end of the stick. many areas are just walled off so we can not access them in game.

    At the time of writing this. This game is way too early access and should have stayed in testing a bit longer. Reason I say this, is because I could not actually play the game as the simple basic things like KB and mouse did not work and it forced me into controller mode. (Just to note, I do not have a controller attached) This made navigating the screen to try and find an option to change to kb and mouse impossible, as it was like pick a colour, pick a number game as to whether you could hit…

    Bugs galore, to the point that I'm surprised this is even out at all, regardless of it's EA status. Everything feels incredibly clunky, the controls are terrible and to interact with anything at all is a massive pain because you have to be in extremely specific spots relative to what you're trying to interact with. Movement is probably the worst of it all. The camera speed is really slow even maxed out so turning the camera is a nightmare, everything feels sluggish at best. My biggest issue…

    At this time I am very torn on whether or not I would recommend this game. I genuinely believe it has potential and I want others to play it to help it grow and reach it's full potential....but after 32 minutes of playtime and two complete crashes, I unfortunately cannot recommend this game in good faith. I will not request a refund because I do have high hopes for the future of this game so I am going to hold onto it and keep checking in over time. I will happily change my review to a thumbs…

    This is really one of the best little farming games out there in my opinion. I have played a lot of different farming games over the years. My favorite farming games are, of course, Farming Simulator (all the various years), more recently Dinkum became a favorite, Farm Together was a fun little game, and now Harvest Days. I would compare Harvest Days to Dinkum somewhat simply because of graphics and gameplay. Granted, Harvest Days does not have a battle/hunting aspect to it like Dinkum.…

    Relaxing this game is not....... Leave the stress of city life to the stress of country life.... Has an energy bar that is NOT shown in the store videos, pics or description. Every farm sim does this, tries to limit you as much as possible with a energy/stamina bar. So tired of this mechanic. Had I known this had this mechanic I would have marked it ignore and moved on to something else. But my fault, too late to refund. All I was able to do was chop down 2 trees, plant 5 plots and mine 2…

    This game is still in E.A but has great potential,however if you expect regular updates and correspondence from developers you will be left on your own. A small team operate this from Spain and say they want to hear if there are issue, but sadly they do not. Otherwise entertaining and challenging cozy game.

    Seems really thin of a game. The graphics are bare minimum., The controller support isnt that good and the buttons are not even set up like a normal game would have them. 1.0 seems rushed and this game needed way more even though it was being developed for awhile. Just seems like it came up short for me. When I first got it they expected me to help them program the controller. I dont work for them I bought it because the game said full and its partial with no keyboard on screen and some place…

    A pretty decent farming game that is in early access. If I had to compare it, I'd say it's a mix of the calm and friendly environment of Stardew Valley mixed with the far reaching feel of My Time at Portia. It is still in development, so don't go into it expecting the polish of either. That said, it is still plenty stable, with no crashes and only two or three bugs in about 17 hours of playtime. More of a breakdown of components: Farming - pretty decent with a wide array of options, the…

    Sad to say. this game had potential. Truly sad that it has been abandoned by the Devs. Last update was 2024. We are now in 2026 and many questions remain unanswered since 2022. I do not recommend anyone buying the game. its unfortunate. It is EA. and it will remain so.

    A cute little game that is like Ranch Simulator but cartoony. I haven't experienced any game-breaking bugs in my seven hours of playtime thus far. Pros: Nice ambient sounds: I love the rain, but I wish it lasted longer. Simple farming gameplay: Plant crops, care for farm animals, go fishing, the usual kind of farm stuff. Animals are low maintenance: They only need their feed topped up every other week for four hens. Customisable: You can create furniture, decide where things go on your farm…

    Game has a great concept, but just really a grind. I do not get the concept of having to pay to make something if I have the materials. Also I feel that if you have a quest there should at the least be a marker to show where to go. I can understand your trying to extend the game play by making it a grind, but if you make a good game and implement the stuff you say you will then there should be no grind to it. I spent nearly 8 hours in the game and I am still no better off then when I got to my…

The sound and graphics are good with much game play it is one of the best farming games i have seen. It has a few flaws but it is in early access the most annoying flaw which could be a bug is that when you start a new day sometimes the nodes don't respawn to get past this once your game is saved just exit the game and reload the game from your latest save…

    As a farming exploration sim, it's pretty much like all the rest of them. I like the art style. It's a bit grindy. Especially trying to make money, which is required for every upgrade. Why do I have to mine, smelt, craft and pay 2000 to craft a better tool? Money is the big bottle neck to most progression as far as i can see. You can scavange for things to sell, but there's not a lot of money to be made that way. Farming, at least in early days isn't a way to make money. So I think…

    Great start. Casual farming with some simple crafting. Farm plot interaction is a little off is my only complaint aside from some minor bugs. Try to water a crop and sometimes it doesn't because the interaction is based on where your character is standing instead of the item you're using or where it's pointed. Crop variety is decent. Skill system is simple but offers fine progression. Sprint function would be nice. Solid first release and I look forward to how it develops.

    Hello! I've been a fan of farming sims for a very long time. I grew up on games like Harvest Moon, and more recently Stardew Valley. Coming from those games leaves a lot to be desired from a farming sim. That being said, I'm instantly hooked! This game has adorable homey feeling graphics, as well as easy to understand controls and a simple UI. There's an abundance of crops and animals to choose from, as well as so many different NPCs to get to know. I enjoy that there seems to be an easy to…

    Game is another very similar game to Stardew Valley which I loved. It is enjoyable if you were a fan of that type of game. I personally started to get bored of the game about 5 hours in. I am almost 7 hours deep and I am looking for other games to play. If more content is added i would probably come back to it. I just feel that there are a number of games that are just like this and do it better then this game. but for the price and you just want something to do it would be decent.

A 3D, third person, version of Stardew valley...." Excited or disappointing would be completely up to you. You start in a house with measly furnishings, like Stardew. You get mail in the mailbox, like Stardew. With the same quests (almost verbatim), like Stardew. There is a chest to sell your items from your inventory, EXACTLY like…

    I started skeptical but enjoyed myself decently. As of version 0.9EA I got about 24 hours of total gameplay to reach endgame. This game makes me think of the harvest moon series with a bit more authentic graphics. Gear progression is similar to stardew's but also is skill gated which stopped me from having max gear early game. The economy is currently broken and farming is unrewarding other than skill leveling and leaving crops unharvested for decor. I liked the pet variety and spent my first…

    Harvest Days: My Dream Farm has the potential to be one of my favorite farming games made to date. It is still an early access game so obviously there will be some bugs they need to work out. With what they have created thus far, i'm definitely impressed. I love that you can purchase farming equipment, tractors and such. When you get to that point, they are definitely needed for faster farming. Unlike any other farming game i have come across, you are responsible for re-populating the town,…

    An inviting low-poly look, a cute little village to explore, a farm that you can design yourself á la Stardew Valley. For me, a logically thought-out and, above all, well-implemented iteration of a farming game. Of course, there are still a few teething problems that need to be fixed, but it looks like the developers are quite active. Thumbs up from my side.

However this game is great for children and learning about our renewable resources on the planet. It will help them with goals like recycling, using EVs as a way of conserving energy and not wasting fossil fuels, etc... For that reason, I will totally APPROVE it for the young-ins.

    This game is fun. I can't explain how nice it is to have a farming game where you don't have to fight or worry about romance. If I wanted either of those things, I'd be playing another genre of game. I have run into a few minor glitches/bugs, but the devs are actually checking in and making fairly frequent updates so it's not too upsetting. For an EA title I have encountered far less issues than some full release games.

    Feels like a budget version of stardew valley. Not a lot to really do within the game. Shocking as it might be, youre mainly in this game to farm, sell, and farm some more. Some of the quests in the game arent even able to be finished since the game hasnt implemented those places yet. Such as the mine. Wait a year and see if the game has updates or if it's still around before spending 15 bucks on it

The aesthetic is a little flat, so hopefully there will be some polishing on that later. The space is nice and the amount of content on EA launch is pretty good.
