Ancient Farm on Steam is another game that Ultimate Games sent me recently, and this one is as simple as it gets. You are building a farm in, of all places, ancient Egypt. While this isn’t the first place I think of farming, they obviously had them. But how does this concept work out?
Truth be told, if you looked up the word average in the dictionary of gaming, you might find a picture of this game. I don’t mean that as an insult; average is perfectly acceptable, which is why we call it average. Everything from the graphics to the sound and even the controls is exactly that, average. For $15, I can’t be mad at that; however, I can expect more.
While I can’t call them issues, things start immediately. The tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about collecting sticks and rocks, cutting down grass and building a workbench and buildings, and even growing a farm. You will then learn to grow crops and even sell them. This will move you on to animals and creating bigger and better things. There just isn’t much of a point. You are never in any danger; you have no food or stamina bar. There are no enemies to fight. You really can’t even go out of business.
I can’t bash the game, or even say don’t buy it. There is absolutely a market for a farming game with no worries. I didn’t dislike the game at all. When I score a game, I start at 5/10. If it functions as it should with no issues, that’s where it stays. I take away for bugs and glitches. I add to it if I find the game fun, or if it adds something to the genre, or has superior sound or graphics, etc. This game is pretty much the definition of 5/10. I never ran into bugs or issues. I also never ran into anything I found fun or interesting, and it doesn’t do anything new or creative. It also isn’t particularly good-looking or sounding compared to other games at its price point. By all means, pick it up if you want a game that lets you farm with no worries, but don’t expect anything else from it. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
