Golden Farm

About

Despite its promising start with perfect game mechanics and phenomenal visuals, the game is very grinding and filled with annoying ads and bugs, which may hinder the overall gaming experience. The game's description, "Baue einen Bauernhof, baue Pflanzen an, füttere Tiere!" translates to "Build a farm, grow plants, feed animals!" in English.

- “I really want to like this game, but immediately I realized after I got the hang of it what other people were talking about. I actually leave to play my other farming game waiting on multiple kinds of feed to produce. The longer I played, the more money I was inclined to pay. I tried playing without paying, and it's extremely tedious to earn coins for buildings and things you need to proceed in the game. I don't usually pay to play, but oh my god, you get nowhere fast!”
- “It's really tedious and slow to advance in the game. The cost is ridiculous for the things you can do. Also, what is the premium membership getting me? I don't even know. It's sad because the game is really fun.”
- “Just another pay-to-win (optional) farming sim where you need to no-life to get the basics.”
