Paradise Bay vs Verdant Skies
Paradise Bay
Paradise Bay is farm simulation game by the king of casual games, King.com. In this game, you'll get to set up and build a farm in a beautiful tropical island. Plant and harvest a wide variety of crops, fish at the sea for a range of seafood, produce processed goods using the farm produce you've collected, and eventually expand your little farming village to allow for more buildings! The island itself also hides a lot of secrets and by playing the game, you'll be able to reveal new locations, characters and stories. Paradise Bay is an incredibly addictive farm game that many would likely enjoy - do give it a try!Verdant Skies
Verdant Skies is an indie farm simulation/RPG combined with a pretty unique art style and visual novel-like dialogue choices. In this game, you play as the latest pioneer who was sent from Earth to a habitable alien planet whose main job is to set up and manage the farms at the colony, but of course, you are often asked to help out other characters with their tasks. You can also interact with the characters to increase your relationship level and eventually unlock new options such as being able to date them and start a family.Verdant Skies also features a straightforward gathering and crafting where every almost every action you take in this game will cost you time and/or energy. There's no need to restore the time you lost, but energy can be easily restored by consuming food. As a game that's very similar to Harvest Moon in essence, the game's farming aspect can be impressively in-depth, allowing you to splice the genes of your crops and your livestock to produce much more superior versions.
Verdant Skies is definitely the sort of game you'd want to check out if you've loved playing games like Harvest Moon, Staxel and even My Time at Portia. The game isn't too expensive either, considering the hours you can get out of it.
