What’s really lacking is any sort of motivation besides the gameplay itself. Surprise events and requests throughout the game will give you somewhat hidden object-like breaks, where you’ll scour the game field for birds, rocks, and trinkets, or whack produce-stealing moles into submission. The interface for managing workers’ tasks is detailed and efficient, the 2x speed button allows for faster gathering, and the skill increases from assigning a worker the same task greatly improves their results and effectiveness. Your workers themselves are extremely autonomous, and will take care of needs like hunger or sadness when their mood gets too rotten (although it’s beneficial to tend to them before this, as their productivity suffers), returning to their task immediately after. Whereas many games of this genre feel more like watching grass grow than actually playing, Farm Tribe 2 does an excellent job of keeping you busy without making you focus strictly on worker management. That engagement and the gameplay itself is a shining gem. The hand-drawn grounds of the estate that you’re working to fix up are crisp and detailed, the controls are responsive and precise, and despite a severe linearity, the game does keep you busy and engaged from the very beginning. Much of that time was spent trying to figure out why I kept playing it. I’m a little grouchy today, since I stayed up all night playing Farm Tribe 2. I hope you enjoyed that story, because you won’t find a better one in Farm Tribe 2.
The games collided: “Hey, bro, you got strategy in my sims game!” “No, dude, you got sims in my strategy title!” And so, a new combination was born. We’ve all heard the urban legend of how the ooey-gooey “life sim” came to be: two developers ran into each other, one carrying a strategy game and the other carrying a simulation. This tribe really needs to watch Chicken Run.
