Tuscany Garden-Farm&Adventure

It looks like a cool game, but I can’t get past the time it takes for the tutorial part. I wish there was a “skip” button.

Started to have issues with the ad videos freeze on the game. Love the game just NOT the videos.

This game has descent graphics and theme but there is no doubt that it is designed to make money. I played, without spending anything until level 12, then it was just very frustrating and boring. I have found, and this game is no different, that any game that requires energy to play, is very expensive and very unfair in it’s design. The energy in this game doesn’t go far and there are very few adds to watch in order to obtain more. Yes, they give you a cooking station, but you have to spend energy to dig up food to cook and by the time you’re done you end up with less energy than when you started. Then there are the wait times, some of them aren’t bad, until you reach a certain level. But they allow you to use gems to speed up then process, which will also cost you oodles of money if you want to get anywhere in the game. And as for earning coins to buy things, not going to get far there either. Your animals will go through their food and die at such a rate that you will end up spending a good chunk of your game coins on animal food and animal replacements. And the longer you play, the worse it gets. But what about filling orders? Eventually, they will start sending you orders for things you don’t have. For instance, I hadn’t yet gotten a bakery and I was getting multiple orders for cookies. I did’t have a green house yet but was getting orders for strawberries and sunflowers. This is the developers trying to push you to spend money. This is unfair gameplay and is very greedy behavior. It’s very convenient to be able to have a game to play on the go, but honestly, a PlayStation and several games would be cheaper by far than games like this, in the short and the long run. This is an honest review, player and buyer beware.

The character design is terrible. Doesn’t match the game. I downloaded and exited almost immediately. They are super ugly. Couldn’t even try to get into it.

Is a 4+ child really expected to play this game? I’m amazed there is no tutorial, Wiki, Reddit, or Discord for this game. Definitely need tips and I never thought I’d want this for a game—cheats.

Could not figure out how to turn off the sound within the first 5 mins - instant delete of an app

This is my favorite farming game! I usually play video games and not apps because I don’t like pay-to-play. But this actually feels like a game. They don’t do ridiculous tedious tricks to get people to spend money, but of course there are things you can spend money on. Honestly, I probably will spend some money just because I want to donate to them making a fun game. There is an energy system and you can run out of energy, but there are plenty of things to do that don’t cost energy, and alternative ways to get more energy of you really need some - like cook food or watch adds. It seems like the game tries to help you out when you need something- for example, a merchant may have the specific thing you’re looking for, or new orders will include specific things you have excess of- I really appreciate the developers for doing that. It makes me want to keep playing.

Unless you shell out money, progress on this game is too slow and is not satisfying. Much like other cash grab games, I'll get bored of this one and eventually delete it.

But I wish the atmosphere is more warm ambient feel so it’s more cozy like golden hour or it can follow the day so the feel of the game changes so it’s not look generic

It’s the same as all other games of this style. It’s hard to proceed without energy and it’s difficult to get energy. I’m getting tired of this type of game setup. The design is cute but, I’d rather pay $50 to buy a game and be able to proceed at a decent pace for free after that than spend hundreds of dollars on their pay to play features. I’m getting tired of the money grabs. I’ll skip this and future games like it and stick with my Nintendo games that don’t require money to be able to proceed at a decent pace.
