The characters are very real looking. Nice voice overs and pleasant background music. Because the game is a mix of hidden object and sim style strategy, there a nice variety of things to do. I've also done a couple quite easy mini games. Oh and you also get to name the farm dog. As you make money you have opportunities to improve the farm. Combine this with a touching story line and you have a great game. Show less

I recommend this game!

While games that combine TM and HOGs have been done before, they don't always work. In this case, the merge works well and the resulting game is a refreshing change for fans of either genre and a delight for fans of both.

Hidden object scenes:
- fun to do, with optional bonus goals
- artwork is pleasant
- choose from multiple available scenes
- items are easy to find

Farming:
- upgrade your farm with money earned in HOG scenes
- plant crops, raise animals and sell goods at the market
- easy to navigate
- icons and indicators are clear so you always know what needs to be looked after
- manage the prices of your goods
- no menus, every action can be done with direct clicks

Definitely worth a try if you like either style of play. Show less

An absolutely FUNtastic game with something for everyone. Our Farmer is in trouble with the Bank and faces foreclosure. The only way he can pay back his loan is to win Farmer of the Year and get the cash prize. However his farm is looking mighty run down and we need to help him get his hands on some cash real quick. The fun begins and off we go to plow fields, plant crops, harvest them and sell our produce at the market. We can also collect extra cash by playing HO scenes that have extra bonuses at play. There are mini quests for extra coins and our management skills are tested as we plow our land, plant our seeds, water them and harvest our crops. In addition there are mini-games and puzzles to solve as well meeting some quirky characters along the way. The graphics are sharp and clear, the music relaxing and non-obtrusive. There are no voice-overs or difficulty settings. HO scenes are plenty and packed with tiny objects, some are difficult to spot. Occasionally you will have auto-find where tiny sparkles will appear to help you out. There are bonus actions that you can also play during the HO scenes for extra coins. At first the game appeared out-dated and some of the instructions were somewhat confusing. The screen is crowded and there is alot to do. However once I began to play, I found myself totally immersed into the game. The hour went by quickly and I wanted more. This game is entertaining with some challenges along the way. At first I was slightly over-whelmed with so many tasks at hand and still have not quite figured out some of the game mechanics. Nevertheless I do look forward to going back, especially to earn all 47 trophies that are available as well as help our Farmer to win first prize. Happy Farmin Y'all! Show less

I recommend this game!

This game is not a hidden object adventure game, so I tried to review it for what it is. It's mostly straight hidden object scenes, although you also grow things on a farm and run the farm (feed animals, make repairs). Additionally, there are some puzzles to do.

You're given the task of winning a farmer of the year award in order to pay back a large loan. The farm is in disrepair, so you need to make money to purchase upgrades to make your farm the best it can be.

Pros:
-Cute graphics, though they're not quite the best.
- The story is a little corny, but in a good way.
- Interesting concept, mixing hidden object scenes with a sort of farm simulator.
- Music isn't obtrusive, though it's not great.
- There are quests to accomplish, like finding a violin for someone in one of the H0 scenes.
- Trophies!
- In each H0 scene, there is a bar at the top with little mini-quests, like find three items in a row in reverse alphabetical order, or find five items listed left to right in your to-find-items list. They're completely optional (although you get extra money for them), but they add something interesting.

Cons:
- Some hidden object scenes are really cluttered. Additionally, there are gems to collect in these scenes, and some are super small.

Some might consider this game "outdated," but I'm finding it very fun and relaxing. Show less

I recommend this game!

Love love love this game! Its like you have 2 games in 1. You get to farm and play a HOG game, with great puzzles to solve, animals to buy, raise money to save your farm and so much more. You couldnt ask for a better game right here! I really wish they would make more of them! Definite buy for me!

I started playing the demo and 5 min into it I had to buy it. It is a lot like Gardenscapes, where you have HOS and built a farm. Feed animals, update farm, run a store, find gems etc. This is a very good change from all the adventure and strategy games I play. Very neat minigames and funny interactions with neighbors and such. A lot of fun. Can't stop playing

I recommend this game!

I've been waiting forever for BF to put out a great hog that didnt include dead people, ghosts, spirits, etc. I enjoyed this game so much, the hour trial seemed like it was over in minutes, its highly addictive. The storyline is beautiful, what he does to save his wife from her illness & what they do to save their farm. Some of the dialogue is downright hilarious. The music during the hos is absolutely beautiful. I had actually decided to purchase the game during the first hos the minute I heard the music. I think I wouldve purchased this game even if it were horrible, just because of the music during those scenes. Youre given lists of objects to find throughout various parts of the farm. All the while youre still tending to the farm, planting seeds, upgrading things, etc. A loan was taken out against the farm and your job is to help save the farm from foreclosure. Definitely something a lot of people can relate to in this day with the economy the way it is. The graphics are great, objects arent hard to find, some a little too easy to find-but still its enjoyable enough to keep your attention. It actually helps the game move along at a good pace. And if youre a fan of soothing instrumental music, this game is for you. I was drawn to it immediately (although the music doesnt match the theme of the game, its absolutely beautiful). Definitely a must have game for any hog enthusiast. Show less

Been a BFG member for more than 2 yrs, but this is first review. Great combo of HO and TM. Love farm games, city builders and HO, but each on its own is getting boring. This game combines the best qualities of all genres. Great graphics, good storyline, querky characters. Great, great game!!!!!! My favorite game from BFG so far. (Ok, gotta go so I can keep playing.)

I recommend this game!
