Farmscapes Reviews

I never leave reviews but this little mobile game has got me so heated right now so here I go. This game was really fun at first! The levels were challenging but in a fun, achievable way. I really enjoyed the art style and the cut scenes that I didn’t skip due to length were cute and fun. This game has everything going for it until they bring in the “jelly” mechanic. I didn’t have a problem catching all of the jelly, I had a problem with the fact that the jelly that spawns them is hidden behind a tile and if you don’t gather this final mystery jelly by the end, you will fail. And you’ll be staring at the map that has NO JELLY on it and it says that there STILL IS JELLY. BUT THERE IS NO WAY YO KNOW THAT BECAUSE THEY HIDE IT!! And then if you can even get past that disaster, they bring in the matching flower pots where you have to make a specific colored match next to the flower pot to clear it. It’s really hard and honestly these 2 “mechanics” are why I can’t move forward. I am not a stupid person and I’m not a genius but this game makes me feel like an absolute idiot. It’s not fun anymore and I think the developers need to seriously consider what these reviews are saying instead of just responding with “send us a message and we’ll give you tips lol”. People don’t like your game because it’s too hard!

I really was excited for this game since I love all the other games such as Homescapes and Gardenscapes. At first this game was fun but pretty much like everyone else said, once you get above level 50 the game is just not fun anymore. You can be stuck on a level for DAYS, and it’s just frustrating and makes you want to quit. It’s definitely not a game you can just relax playing. I think it’s because they want you to put actual money into the game to be able to advance. It’s sad. I was really expecting more out of the game In that aspect.
The story line itself is cute and I love the concept, but I don’t think I’ll ever see it unfold because it will take years to get there 😅

This game like all the other Playrix games are well designed and fun to play. The only thing I have bad to say is that this game doesn’t have the teams feature as does Homescapes and Gardenscapes, so when you get stuck can take days to get through a level as 5 lives go very quickly. Can’t wait to see what else I can add to my farm. Thanks for this lovely addition to the Playrix family.

I don't know how long I've been stuck on this level. I either don't have enough moves or not enough coins to get 5 more moves. Whats really frustrating is ill have one more pine cone left.. just one more, and I'm able to match 5 to make the arrows and it will without a doubt give me the wrong direction arrow that the pine cone I'm trying to hit is. If its down it gives me across, if its across it gives me up and down. Is that part of the game? I mean give me a break, I'm just trying to get enough stars to build a BIRD HOUSE and I'm closing Farmscapes irritated holding back the urge to throw my phone at the wall. Im not asking to let me win, but it doesn't matter how well I match I don't have enough moves. You get 1 star. The amount of pine cones left I need to hit to win.

When I try to open it, it says an internet connection is required to play this game for the first time. My internet is fine. I’ve never been able to get through the title page, so I can’t comment on the game at all. I’m not going to contact support over a game I’ve never even played. Fix the game if you want people to play. I’ll just delete it and forget it exists.

Edit: I literally said I won’t contact support regarding this and they responded telling me to contact support, which proves they aren’t even reading reviews. Also, I can’t even contact support if I can’t get into the game. What a joke.

Edit again: The game does not work on new iPad Pro. Why they couldn’t just say that without giving me the runaround is a mystery.

I like the story and animation in this game. I’m more “invested” in this farm’s success than I am in both Home- and Gardenscapes stories. The problem is that I get stuck on levels for a really long time. And when you run out of moves, the buy 5 more moves is so prominent that I have accidentally blown game coins on more moves when there is no chance that I would actually win. It’s like the developers purposely put that button smack in the middle of the game board so you easily tap it and lose money. And all the farm tasks use so many stars, it’s hard to collect enough to do them. I should delete this, games are supposed to relax me and be a bit of a break, but this one frustrates me.

I love that this game has a mix of fixing and building your farm, a story line, and a puzzle game to stimulate different types of gaming. BUT I want to use this game as an easy get away from life, and these levels are way too challenging to let me relax. The first few are okay, but as I get into the higher levels it is just so frustrating and I waste so many lives on the same level. The last several levels I haven’t been able to pass and have used at least 10 lives or more on each level. Then I have to not play the game cause I have to wait for lives to refill. Very frustrating.

I am sure that this is a game that I would really enjoy. I have played fishdom and Homescapes and gardenscapes for a long time and enjoyed them all. There are time when levels take awhile but I am in the 1000’s on levels in those games. But this one right from the beginning at level 69 I have been unable to beat. I don’t mind spending a little money here and there but when it is so hard right from the beginning of the game it tells me that the creators are getting very greedy. It’s a shame, they could have gotten money from me, but this feels like nothing more than a money grab!!! I will delete this game and forget about it.

When I started playing, this was an alright game. Now, it's "bleh." You can spend 2-3 days stuck on a level, with frustration after frustration. I've had some games where there is nothing but 3-4 blocks played all game. It seems that after a while, the game "gives up", then you blast through 4-5 boards because you get FANTASTIC combos. There is NO statistical model that can explain this, other than it's programmed that way. No thanks.

Got a response from Playrix that basically said "It's beatable. Stop being a wuss." How about you read ALL THE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS! They do. And give the same programmed response.

Nah. I deleted Farmscapes . And I suggest you do too and save yourself lots of wasted time.

Sorry for the 12 star but I just downloaded this game and it won’t load. My iPad is generation 3 and it’s OS is up to date. Pleanty of storage. But I keep getting a message that I have to be connected to the internet to load the game. My Wi-Fi is on and works for other apps including Gardenscapes which I just updated to the new version.
Please advise me on what to do. I’d deleted it twice and re-downloaded it two times and still get the notice. What else should I try? Thanks for the help. Once I get it loaded if it plays like the other two Scapes games i will more than likely give it 5 stars which your other games truly deserve. So, help med change this from a 1 star to an expected 5 star.

I’m a fan of Homescapes and Gardenscapes. My grandpa is a farmer and I grew up on one so this app feels familiar to me. I love the engaging graphics and would love to pass my downtime in these scenes but the games are so dang difficult so early on that this reads as stressful, not fun and most certainly not relaxing. This also happens fairly early on so there is no impetus for me to continue this torture. I understand these games are meant to be money pits that frustrate the user into paying to pass levels but at least in the other similar games, the campaigns and teams elevate the experience a bit. Shame, because I love the scenery of this one. Nevertheless, the rewards of this one are scarce are not worth any investment. Uninstalling.

It’s an awesome game. Developers need to remember that child prodigys don’t play your games. We are average people taking a break from life. When a player gets locked on a level for days and days..we just get rid of the game. There’s thousands out there to play. On day five and the level jipped again so not only did the coins get wasted, I’m still on that level. I expect difficult higher up but in the 60s? Just about at the delete point. Have enough going on as it is and I hop on to chill out only to lose there too. Game needs to loosen up.

I rarely write reviews. I am an avid game player and I’m not against spending money to play. However, with this particular game, you will not advance unless you spend money again and again. It takes the fun out of it. If you’re looking for a fun, challenging game this is not it. The first several levels are challenging and fun, then it becomes purely about paying to play. Read the other reviews. They all say the same thing for a reason.

I was never really a Playrix fan until I started playing Manor Matters a while back. Amazing game, by the way. Heard about a new match 3 you guys were making and eagerly awaited its global release!!

It didn’t disappoint, in love with the story, and the characters so far are very interesting. Also the farm is really pretty too, can’t wait until it’s fully renovated. Some levels are really hard, but that’s okay I think I can beat them without power ups at some point!

Perfectly fine game and story, but they REALLY need to either move the button saying you’ll buy more moves with coins, or add a second tap to confirm. It’s right in the middle of the playfield and extremely easy to accidentally click when you haven’t realized you’re out of moves and are trying to make your next one. Three times today this happened. It’s not fun to lose your hard-earned coins on a stupid misclick.

I can’t seem to add friends and on the home page on Facebook I’m not the only one having this problem. Homescapes and Gardenscapes make it easy to add friends, why is it so hard to get them on this app. Can you please tell me how to get friends. I have done everything support has told me with no success.

I enjoyed this game at first. But then you get stuck on it seems like every level. I don’t mind having to play a level maybe a dozen times to beat it, but some of these levels I bet I have played 25 to 30 times or more. This is a waste of my time. I have to set through those annoying ads, which I seldom watch. I usually do something else during them. I play these games to relieve stress, not to become even more stressed. I am going to delete this game and the Homescapes after this.

Game was lovely! Just loved where it was going, then levels got worse and worse, i used all my power ups and made it to level 56 and just couldn’t make it any further. There is no reason or excuse for making a game that is supposed to be enjoyable, that hard. I get it they get hard, I’ve played tons of games like this, but this is ridiculous. I also read other reviews, and I’m not the only one saying it. If not for that, I would have kept the game instead of deleting it, and would have given it five stars.

Like so many others say this game gets extremely difficult to complete any levels if you ever can. So much so that it’s getting boring not being able to progress. The bombs are a joke and when combined with others hardly do anything. The game developers need to review other games where the mechanics are better laid out. Will I continue? Who knows. Maybe after an update if it becomes more fun. As of now for anyone else who reads this I’d find a game that is fun.

I love the way they you can have your own garden you can build stuff which is so cool it almost looks like a modern home and I love it even when you need to feed the sheep I love the water fountain it is so cool you should literally try it it’s on fire😂download it right now it’s amazing 🤩
