Farm Frenzy 2

The late 2000s and early 2010s were an interesting time for video game history, on one side we had some of the biggest video game titles ever made by companies like Bethesda and Rockstar, and on the other hand, the smartphones were beginning their world-changing conquest of the media. Mobile games changed the gaming world a lot, companies like Sony completely decided to abandon the handheld market a few years later as they saw it as a no-opportunity market when compared to gaming on smartphones. But this also meant the rise of games made for shorter gaming sessions, the casual gaming world grew bigger than ever, and more people have become gamers thanks to always carrying a pretty capable gaming console in their pockets at all times. Today we’ll talk about a great game that many people might not remember now, but it was a pretty big hit back in the day, we’re talking about Farm Frenzy 2! So, what is this game all about? Let’s talk about it!

About the game

Farm Frenzy 2 was developed by Alawar and was originally mainly a mobile game. It is, of course, a direct sequel to the 2007 hit game Farm Frenzy, and it really takes it to the next level. Farm Frenzy 2 will have you taking care of your own farm, you'll grow the grass, feed the chickens, collect the eggs, and take all your products to the market, then you can reinvent it to enhance, upgrade, and level up your farm.

You can organize the layout of your farm however you want, and add different kinds of buildings that will allow you to create and develop new kinds of products, as well as allow you to house more animals and plant more veggies. But it would be too easy just to keep a farm without any inconvenience right?

You’ll have to keep an eye for the nasty savage bears that threaten to destroy your farm. Luckily if you raise your dogs well enough they’ll defend your farm and keep the bears in line. There are plenty of levels to complete and a lot of collectibles to get. Farm Frenzy 2 will keep you hooked for a while, that’s for sure.

More farm-based games

However, video games when it comes to games that started as mobile games, it's hard to find one more popular than the classic Angry Birds, and we mention this because it also involves animals, just in a very different way. You could compare this game more to titles such as Stardew Valley or Farm Life.

Review: 6.5/10

Despite being originally a mobile game, Farm Frenzy 2 looks very polished and has some nice graphics. The controls are pretty responsive, the only thing I think could be improved is the camera, which sometimes gets stuck. The game does have its fair share of bugs, but nothing major.

Pros:

• Great gameplay
• Some nice designs and art

Cons:

• Bugs
