Square Farm provides a peaceful and charming experience to farm produce while building up a lowly farmstead. Even if you don’t love farming games as much as I do, it’s a must-try for anyone that enjoys casual and fulfilling gameplay.
After playing an hour and a half of Square Farm, I’m still tending to crops and picking out virtual tomatoes. It’s just that addictive. Square Farm’s relatively straightforward and easy to understand from the get-go. From what I’ve played, there are really only four things I needed to pay attention to: farming crops to sell for money, using that money to upgrade the farmstead, interacting with villagers, and completing side missions.
Farming crops challenged me the most, though. I had a nine-by-nine grid where I could choose four seeds to plant. In this grid, I needed to fill a row, column, or three-by-three square (or bigger) to harvest the crops. The catch is that certain seeds could only be planted if they fit inside the grid, which led to some tricky and slightly frustrating situations. It took a few minutes, but after getting the hang of it, I started to enjoy Square Farm a lot more.
Beyond growing potatoes, I could interact with villagers and people passing by and engage in full-blown conversations. These conversations were deep and immersive enough to capture my attention and push me to learn more about these people.
I had a lovely time playing Square Farm. I generally always enjoy playing farming games, but Square Farm was much more calming and interesting than most. It’s a casual game that doesn’t really take much effort to play, but even with its straightforward gameplay, Square Farm can be pretty entertaining.
