Big Barn World vs Howrse
Big Barn World
Big Barn World is a pretty unique farm simulation game, mainly because it takes social aspect of social farming simulations to a whole new level. In this game, you'll not only need to plant, grow and harvest your own crops; you will also get to raise a variety of adorable animals. All the harvest and animal produce you obtain will then be sold to earn money. There are many farm plots you can unlock as you level up while certain plots are reserved for "members" of the Farmers with Benefits club.The really unique part about the game though is not the fact that you can visit your friends' farms - that has been done multiple times across most farm sims - but the fact that you can plant special seeds in specifically-designated friend plots on your friends' farms. You won't be able to take care of the crop as your friend will do that for you, but when the crop matured and it sold, both you and your friend will get a cut of the profits!
Big Barn World may not be as popular as Farmville or any of Facebook's more popular farm sims, but the game offers something different; something more social that will do well with players with plenty of actively gaming friends. If this sounds like just the game for you, be sure to give it a try. The game is available on both Android and iOS.
Howrse
Howrse is a text-and-graphics-based horse game by Ubisoft. The game has been on the internet since 2005 and is still going strong despite the emergence of graphically better horse games like Star Stable, Horse Haven Adventures and others. Unlike other horse games, Howrse focuses more on the management aspect of owning a horse ranch, requiring you to have good organization skills as you make sure your horses are all well-taken care of and trained. The game also has a competitive edge, allowing you to send your best horses out for challenging races. There are plenty of beautiful horses and ponies you can raise, as well as other fun features like horse breeding and trading too. You can even set up your own equestrian center and join up with a team so you'll have some company while playing the game.Howrse may not look like much on the outside, but once you've gotten into the game, you'll start to realize what a gem this game is. The depth of the gameplay is simply amazing for a text-based game, and of course, there's the irrefutable joy that this game has brought to horse and pony lovers worldwide for more than a decade! If it hasn't already, Howrse should definitely be deemed a horse game classic.
