Harvest Life Gameplay Review

I'm playing Harvest Life, a farm management simulation by bumblebee and rokapublish. Starting with the same farm every game, the tutorial only explains how to chop wood. There is also no manual or other in-game help or documentation, so almost all in-game tasks are left unexplained. The graphics are very rudimentary, and annoying collisions with nearby objects occur often. A limited interface (using left-click and right-click to interact with everything) leads to a lot of input confusion (feeding the cat instead of planting crops). Harvest Life only has a few repetitive tasks: cut wood and chop it during a bland mini-game, deal with crops by planting, watering, and harvesting, feed and provide water to animals while collecting their eggs and poop, and fish if you can figure out how to acquire a rod. Items can be sold (no price fluctuations) and the money used to edit the farm by placing new tiles and animals. There is a significant amount of waiting for something to happen, as there simply isn’t a lot to do. Harvest Life is an extremely repetitive, limited, boring, and confusing farming game.
