Big Farm: Mobile Harvest is a brand-new, mobile-based farm simulation game developed by Goodgame Studios, the very people behind the successful farm sim, Big Farm. In this game, your Uncle George has willed you his old and pretty rundown farm and it is now up to you to bring the place back to its former glory and maybe turn it into a more successful business!

There is even a crafting aspect in place for you to turn all of those raw produce you get into more profitable goods.Being a simulation game, you'll get to decorate your farm as well. Big Farm: Mobile Harvest also follows in the footsteps of Farmville games by being pretty social. You can team up with your fellow virtual farmers in cooperatives where you can better support each other. To keep things interesting for players all year round, the game even provides exciting events for you to participate in!
Big Farm has always been the best farm simulation game from Goodgame and they have definitely upped their game in developing Big Farm: Mobile Harvest. The game is so much more entertaining to play and it is well-optimized for a wide range of mobile devices too. So, if you're looking for a farm game for your phone or tablet, this is the game to get!
Patron
Patron is a medieval-themed city-builder that is quite similar to Banished. In this game, you play as a pioneer sent by your King to colonize a new region. With a group of peasants to help, it is up to you to build a town from the ground up and develop it into one of the most prosperous colonies of the empire!The game is all about optimizing production chains and subsequently, pursuing advancements. So, at the beginning, it’s important to produce enough raw materials so you can have enough materials to “fuel” your other production facilities in order to craft more profitable items. As your town expands, you’ll need to make sure your production scales up accordingly, be it by upgrading existing structures or building new ones. This is where the challenge really comes in.
Of course, besides upgrades and expansions, you’ll want to invest in research so you could unlock better and, hence, more productive buildings, as well as new production facilities which will then allow you to produce items that are usually more luxurious and lucrative to trade. From time to time, you will receive various edicts from the King or news of certain events. You’ll then be expected to choose between the two decisions provided.
All in all, Patron is definitely a much better version of Banished in every way, and this saying something since I’ve enjoyed playing Banished. This game’s a solid medieval city-builder with a nice level of difficulty which matches what a midcore gamer like me can handle. The game is definitely worth the cost!
