FarmVille 2: Country Escape Reviews

by Rachel4338

This has to be the worst game in the world. No way the other reviews are real. Not enough land space, not enough storage space, not enough explanation for you to know what to do most of the time, tasks asking for items you don’t even have access to yet, items too hard or impossible to acquire. All 4 helpers for 8 hours at the pond for only 1 mint. 4 hours for peach tree to give 2 peaches. Everything is set up to cause you to spend real money The game started out very slow and boring. I thought it would improve as levels progressed but it hasn’t. Don’t buy the dog or cat house. They are huge and take up too much room since you’re not given enough land space. Same with decorations. Don’t buy, not enough room. The pets can only be bought with keys which take money. The dogs are 400 keys each. Don’t bother. It takes too long or is too difficult to get needed items. The game is set up for you to spend real money on needed items or to spend money to speed up wait times. Don’t spend your money folks. If the game was more interesting and kept you busy it might would be worth spending real money. But it’s not worth it for a boring slow game.

I really wish I could find a fun farming game that wasn’t so money hungry. I played Hayday for years but the creators killed it with bad changes and updates.

I played this game for a ridiculous amount of years. I started when it was a pc Facebook game & I downloaded this version literally as you launched it, on my brand new iPhone 3. I was thrilled to have my favorite game in my pocket! Not so thrilled anymore. I was part of a fantastic coop, but after 6-7 years they all left & I was the only one left playing. I searched for a new one & everyone out there seems to play this game for a living. Do you pay people to play? I have never seen anything like it, you don’t play for 12 hours & they kick you out of the coop. I have a life, too. I don’t want to play every single day, that’s unhealthy. Your coops are full of cloners & hardcore 24 hour players & the game is pointless without the social aspect, now. You have reduced the whole breeding & tree cloning to repetitive area visits to churn out pointless items that contribute nothing to the events that you host back to back without rest. It’s all keys & buying now, & nothing like it was before. Look, I get it. The game is free. But you’re not doing anything innovative anymore other than creating a money grinder. People will get bored like I did & leave. When you make some big changes, I’ll come back but for now, it’s pointless & boring

I’m extremely frustrated and ANGRY I getting in the game and 3 seconds to 1 minutes the game as kicked me out. Starting all over and not able to do nothing in the game bcuz game kicks u out so yeah it’s aggravating. I did not have no issues before but after the update now this issue where game kicks u out! Plz fix the issues with starting all over, with getting kicked out, where give a break with the darn contest finally bring prices down to buy land, animals, plots, buildings, so on ... upgrade rewards Bottomline if I have to go through this much issue I am better off at playing Township /or EverMerge less drama and issues. Appears this game has no issues taking ur money but has issues fixing the issues. FarmVille 2 could get better if the developers invest in reading 📖 people complaints /or issues by getting it fix and under control. In my experience and opinion “ DO NOT waste ur time, money, to much issues, drama with the game and probably it will NOT get fixed anyways bcuz all the developers care is the green and greedy of the money!! Be cautious NOT worth it. Go to Township, EverMerge, Navel Empire, Mobile Strike, this game should NOT even get 1 Star it’s more like -1 ⭐️
Sincerely ANGRY 😤 😡 😠 developers please READ the issues and fix it ...!! Ty 😡🤬🤯

Saw several things wrong with this game and I have continued to play because my co op has some pretty nice people.... but....
From the start I noticed that this is a VERY money hungry game, then I started noticing how buggy the game is. Constant problems with item drops during events, tasks during boat races, and co op chat logs, as just a few. These things never seem to improve. Also, many people seem to agree on simple ways the game can improve and developers respond to the reviews and suggestions, yet nothing is implemented. Expansions are WAY too lengthy in their progression. Storage is a HUGE issue and is now even worse! Once the water plots finally came out, which I didn’t even want because of all the complaints I had already heard. Well now, they are putting mariner orders to include items that you must use timber on, that is ridiculous! Fix your bugs, fix storage, remove the cap on ribbons and gold or remove receiving those things as a reward if you are capped! Don’t even get me started on cheaters! Just an example, they allowed someone to cheat that I had physical proof of, for over 3 months, it took an absurd amount of support tickets to finally get the person removed. I just.... get left feeling like developers are not caring about the game or the people that play.... it’s very sad and discouraging.

Ok so update 2020 I started playing again love the new stuff but my plots have been reversed twice and the amount of keys to remove the things I have already removed originally and yesterday I’m not doing it again I spent 180 keys yesterday bc I can’t put things back where they go and now i calculated over 200 keys bc 3 plots are blocked and zynga is not available really??? I undersatnd but have all your workers work from home bc this is not ok. Still one star
Updated 2017 zynga needs to stop with the contests every month and come up with something more permanent like new recipes new machines and new animals more land and more things to do. It is very old to do things over and over other games are better and I have finished everything and you can’t even upgrade barn anymore to hold more items so I am permanently stuck

I wish FarmVille2 would stop asking me to rate it I've been playing for five years and rated a long time ago...... I would like to see less contest and better prizes these "temporary" farmhands are worthless to continuous players not really worth the effort.... make it so I can make my barn bigger at 940 I can only have 5 of each thing make it so I can have at least 10 so I can stock up for contests same with silo why stop at 940 why not make it even 1000 at least uve updated amount of money we can have now do it with barn and silo.... also that house next to pier make it so that I can do it for other crops I haven't had yet like wheat and pears

by WranglerChick

I don't mind spending a couple dollars on app here and there, but it is ridiculous what you have to do in order to make any progress in this game. They want keys keys keys for everything that will help you progress. Yes you can get the items by foraging & such,but it takes such a long time to find one item. Whats more? Purchased one of your helping hands for 100 keys… Did I mention that the helping hand is temporary did, you didn't. And the themed competitions they have, of course if you pour money into it your going to win everything. People who don't invest have to wait days...DAYS to collect enough items to fill an order and move on.
The most frustrating part of all has become and expansions. Players get excited when the level up and can FINALLY expand, and NOPE! There's A SALE! the land is locked for 5 MORE days unless you can purchase for the generous sale price of, you guessed it, 200 KEYS. NOTHING has made me want to quit this game more than having items like animals available but no land to put them on. Or having challenges for the Merey Weather mine that I can't access without KEYS. Please make this game more accessible to the everyday person. Keep the customer happy and they'll keep playing. Keep them disappointed and the WHOLE WORLD will know.
PS, things that have taken HOURS TO MAKE have disappeared, that's frustrating in itself.

DO THE RIGHT THING ZYNGA.

My main complaint is the drop rate of the special items, like the duck feather. I get that once every 4 hours from the mill, but I need 3 to craft a pillow and the order board wants 9 pillows...that’s 27 visits to the mill. As I leveled up the orders became very difficult. I had to craft multiple things all to make one thing, which really isn’t bad but the rewards don’t equal the effort. If I come in first for the crafting fair thing I get a few helping hands, a bunch of coins and some ribbons...how about some keys or a nice collection of difficult to collect items. Quartz for example, which I need constantly to craft like 1/4 of the items. I don’t mind having to craft some difficult items, but I would rather they interspersed amongst some basic things as well. The new order board, Marie’s order board, I don’t like at all. It might take me 24 hours to gather everything and craft, all for just one order, and the reward is a few boards and some xp...
Copper is something I have a lot of because only a few items need it for crafting...double the tin; that would be nice and throw in some simple to craft items for the order boards. Shorten the time required at the mill. Also what the point of the stupid lightbulbs? I have like 10 of them!

by Sheilagib1975

Overall, I love the game in general. But as many, many people have already complained, the events are near impossible to complete. They always require ingredients that are hard to get, such as quartz and tin and a lot of them. The drop rates for the special ingredients are complete b.s. You have to visit an area 3-4-5-6 times before you get what you need and then when you can actually craft the item, there’s only a slim chance that you’ll get the item for the event. At the very least, I think when you craft the special item, it should be guaranteed that you get the item for the event. I finally, after a week, completed phase 5 of the Elven Christmas. I crafted probably 40 kiwi cakes or whatever is was, just to get the 8 required items to move on. That’s unfair and ridiculous. You craft the item, you should get what you need. Now I have 3 days to complete phase 6 and it’s absolutely impossible, since it requires even more special items. The events are a complete waste of time. My other complaint is the “slow rollouts”. I’ve been looking at the water plots for a week now and it just says Coming Soon. Don’t add it to the game unless we can use it!!! I keep hoping this game will get better but it just keeps getting worse. How about the “developers” actually listen to the players and fix the game????

This game is fine, but all of the sudden anywhere you send farmhands you get one bottle of vegetable oil. And there’s one recipe that I can find where you can use vegetable oil, that only uses like one at a time. But to make that recipe you also need baking powder that you can only get by sending farmhands to a particular popcorn place that I don’t need to really send them and don’t want to waste farmhands on. So you get vegetable oil absolutely everywhere you go, that you can do nothing with unless you have baking powder which you only get at one place you don’t really want to waste time and resources going. And now I have like 70 bottles of vegetable oil taking up my barn space, probably going rancid. Can they do that here? The kicker is that you can only sell one bottle at a time in one of your market slots, but when you go to buy things you also see absolutely nothing but vegetable oil because everyone’s in the same boat. And no one buys your oil so your market slot is just sitting there used up by rancid oil that no one wants. So. Much. Useless. Oil. Unless I’m about to level up and get access to a McDonalds or something I don’t get what anyone’s supposed to do with this much oil. But yeah other than that the game’s pretty fun.

I play this every chance I get. I love this game, but lately it been having a lot of issues. For instance I get on I send my workers out to search for rare items, or put items on to make, or go to market and buy items I need. Then then I go back there is nothing there the stuff I bought is gone but coins and or keys were not replaced or put back. Worker will find items but when I go to use them they aren’t anywhere to be found. It’s really disappointing and the keys I buy aren’t cheap. I’ve spent a lot on the game that I shoulder have. I don’t have these problems with any of my other games, only this one. I too have problems with this game I get in first place but when I leave and come back I’m in 6th or 8th place. Another thing I have notice, In play almost everyday but I’ve notice , it takes to long to level up. I have been on level 66 or 67 for several months now and I play almost everyday and every night when working, any chance I get. I love the game but if the problems don’t chance , I’m probably gonna jus delete it and go back to playing my other games. Keys and other items aren’t cheap. I can’t seem to play or move up or anything without a lot of issues.

The game started out great and was becoming my favorite game ever. I was happy to finally find a game without a "Candy crush" game to continue on, but this game is awesome and doesn't make you do any of that.

There are two issues with this game: the keys and the glitches. I'm making a lot of money, but everything mostly costs keys which are very hard to come by. As for the glitches, the main one i faced was on level 8 trying to access Grandma's Glade. It kept getting stuck/frozen after I was collecting the berries and I wasn't able to proceed. I tried closing and reopening FarmVille2 , deleting and redownloading, restarting my phone, etc. and every time it would bring me right back to the beginning of getting into Grandma's Glade. And it always costed keys to speed up the berries, because we were forced to, but I didn't realize that even though it kept getting stuck and restarting, it still took all my keys. I wasn't able to see how many keys or money I had because every time I opened FarmVille2 , it went right into that guy going into Grandma's Glade. It wasn't until all my keys were gone that it finally let me through.

Other than those two issues I've faced so far, I do love the game. But those issues need to be addressed and fixed because I do see I am not the only one facing those problems.

I love this game and honestly spend WAY too much time playing, but many of my co-op members and I wish that the developer would build in the option to OPT OUT of the special events. They are fun if you want to play, but if you find you don’t want to play the special event or you accidentally tap and join - too bad so sad - you’re stuck receiving the event items as gifts until the end of the event. I do like that they tell you on screen how long the events run. The current event is running 18 days (and I’ve noticed that I don’t see as many of my co-op members playing the game currently). That’s a long time to avoid tapping on the event and a long time to receive event items you don’t want or need. Speaking of the event items... near the end of special events, the market - which refreshes every five minutes and is a great place to buy items you need and sell your goods - becomes flooded with them and oftentimes that’s all you can find there whether you’re playing along with the event or not. That can be frustrating. I wish Zynga would consider reducing the number of event items that are distributed during the last few days of an event to prevent this situation.

I love this game. I only have a couple of problems...I don’t like the idea that there’s so many options to use keys to buy things or finish projects and the game very rarely gives out keys. Possibly one or two here and there as prizes. I did buy a few keys in the beginning but have decided now not to. For instance, 400 keys to buy a dog or cat that can find rare items for you. I have less than 100. Totally outrageous! You could really go crazy and break your bank.
The other problem is for instance the county fair. I can be in 3rd place and by the time I get off work I’m at 6th. I guess that’s the price I pay for working 10 hours a day. Apparently there are people that don’t work and play all day or can play while they are at work.
Here’s a tip. If you have a pig or sheep in your pen your feeding sometimes there’s an option to have a partner for free or you can buy the animal. I have found that most of the time you have a partner they never feed the animal so I’m doing all the work. Then when it’s time to weigh your animal and get your prizes the other person benefits too. I rarely decide to have a partner because they don’t help.
But I don’t see myself deleting this game any time soon though!

I have been playing this game off and on for awhile. I do enjoy playing it but there are a couple things I wish would change. When I want to expand, I have to wait almost a week or use a lot of keys to do it. It would be if there was a way to let players have the option to use keys or use the amount of coins and the level needed and not have to wait so long to expand. The other thing is during the events, there are special items needed in order to move on to the next level. No problem. The problem is, it feels like it takes so long to find the items. You have to keep making whatever is needed, whether it be some kind of soup or dessert or whatever it may be, to find the item and a lot if things that are needed to be made take a long time to finish cooking/baking. I like the idea of the events, but I find myself getting
bored because it takes so long to get past a level. I don't want to have to keep using my speed seed, golden gloves or keys. It already takes awhile to collect these. Overall I do enjoy the game, but it would be great though if these could change a little
bit.

There are several elements, especially in special or new events, that are throughly disgusting. I am/was working on island exploration. On at least 2 occasions i won the prize— hours of unlimited fastseeds - the reward came so late in the night i could not use them....even old folks have bedtimes. Yesterday i almost had the order board completed and the captain took a 3 hour unannounced exploration which locked my board. (i still had more than a day to work on the board). 3 hours later the captain returned and the visit on the island was on the remaining time from the orginal quest but all my filled orders were erased with very little time to complete a completely new order board.
Add to that the compexity of limited storage for sea and water elements. And the limited availability of minerals to feed the plants, i will no longer attempt to do island explorations,
This part of the game goes with other events (like the competitions where’s the top players win special events farm hands). Which i gave up on because you could not win against players that purchase extra keys and such. The game had me hooked because of the continual addition of new elements. The sabotage embedded in these elements leaves me only the old farm parts that are now minotonous for me.

I’ve been playing FarmVille for over 10 years I’ve gone along with the issues but here is what I’m experiencing now…1) whenever I visit my pet zoo and come back to the farm side of it, pink flashy squares light up around some of the events and some of the contest areas where you put helpers are gone. 2)You all have got to find a way to get more minerals for those that can’t afford keys, the cost for a mineral for just one plot of water crop is way too much. 3) Along with the mineral issue….I have to restart the game to get any additional minerals after I have gone thru the first 4, otherwise the countdown says zero but I can’t get them. 4) Also the Christmas contest with the bingo type board…when I go to the workshop to get my plows, the timer is done and the plows are ready, but once again until I exit the game and restart, I cannot access my plows. Restarting the game presents another issue. It takes forever to “connect to the network”, and it’s not my tablet or phone or internet. No matter where I am, no matter what devise I use, it takes forever. Why? Thanks for reading!

FarmVille 2 is an excellent game for many reasons. It is easy to play. Not terribly hard to advance in the levels. Lots of new updates. And the animation is very cute and realistic.
I truly enjoy playing this game and have had it for over two years now. It is one of my favorites and I prefer it to Hayday. It is simply easier to gain storage materials in this game than hayday. Which is nice for then you do not have to decide what you have to sell.
I love all the new items being added. There is constantly a new update being added to the game so that you can earn farmhands, nails , keys, and many other items as well that will advance your game.
It is truly a wonderful game and I have derived much enjoyment from it. Plus, best news, is that FarmVille 2 can be played without WiFi. Now how many other fun games out there offer that?
I hope you will all enjoy this game as much as I do. Thank you to all the designers who have put in so much time and effort.

I’ve been playing this game off and on for 4 years. Restarted from scratch once just because I wanted to. It’s obviously a great game, and I love my coop. I just have a few suggestions: 1. The boat race tasks are so redundant. I’m tired of helping hands, Marie’s order board and Nick tasks. Sometimes the race starts with a variety of tasks, and then shortly thereafter reverts back to the same stuff. My current race has 3 helping hands tasks to do, a Marie’s order board task and 3 Nick tasks. That’s it. Awful. PLEASE - for the love of god - give us more variety. 2. I’ve stopped playing any event with a temporary farmhand. They require an insane number of quartz and tin, and I’m no longer willing to do it, event after event. 3. The huge quantities needed for items on the Marie’s order board are ridiculous and so not fun. If you’re an advanced player you should instead have other order board related challenges making a variety of items instead of having to make an insane number of 1 item. Instead I find myself taking a break from the game for a few weeks so I can reset the order board to more manageable quantities. Please make some changes!

Heck COD, Halo and Fallout- FarmVille 2- Country Escape is the title of the decade! A free mobile app (mobile is my favorite MLG platform) with quality storylines, seamless gameplay and fan service that puts Cortana to shame (that saucy farmer (Papi!))! I can play this game for hours on end (I have) in bed, my shower, my 2004 Toyota Saturn, while on a date with Steve Harwell (lead vocalist of award-winning alt rock band Smash Mouth) in the bathtub again, in the stripclub, sitting on the porta pott, in college, at the divorce office — you name it, I’ve played it! Not only is the gameplay seamless, but the ‘no music’ option is perfect for listening to tunes while harvesting the crops and making sweet love to the windmill I’ve had since day one (also papi af). Even better is that there is a separate sound option, so I can listen to a chorus of goat wailing accompanying Sound Of Silence on my free Pandora free trial! Something that ties the whole game together is how I’ve never, not ONCE felt pressured to make in-app purchases or watch 467 ads to buy that saucy prized cow!

(I think I love FarmVille more than my ex wife)

I have played this game for probably 4 yrs now. I LOVE this game and I love the events they hold that gives us the opportunity to earn FREE special permanent farmhands. I have invested in this game here and there but it’s not as ridiculous as everyone else seems to comment on. Yes, you do have to put in work in this game for it to get less difficult, but it has PLENTY of advances where you can upgrade your crops and workshops to finish faster, without paying for keys. I’m an impatient person but this game does not frustrate me as other farming games. If you don’t want to wait, you obviously have the option to buy keys and finish things instantly. I promise you it gets so much better the higher your level is!! You put in work, and you’ll see the advantages.. that’s all it is. Also, you can get free keys and other prizes that can help you out by watching their ads (10 ads/day). This game has just the right amount of challenges to keep you interested and leave you feeling accomplished when completing tasks without feeling like the tasks are impossible. Thank you for this amazing game and the continuous effort in the events and updates for this game! :)
