My Free Farm vs Verdant Skies
My Free Farm
My Free Farm is a farm simulation game by Upjers where you'll get to manage your very own virtual farm. Escape the hectic real life with the relaxing routine of the farm life where you'll not only plant, grow and harvest a wide variety of crops but also breed assorted livestock so you can get some animal produce. Gather up all the farm produce you can muster and turn them into a myraid of more valuable goods which you can then sell to fill up your coffers. So, strap on some overalls and grab that hoe - it's time to get some virtual farming done!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.
