A ton of people love farming games, but the cute ones are even better. I mean, farming is a lot of work, and one can only handle so much real-life farming simulators before it all just becomes another job. If you’ve got an actual farm to deal with, do you want to do it all over again after coming inside from the great outdoors?
Nah, of course you don’t.
Same with every other profession, unless you really love it.
So for those of you that really love farming, but find the actual task of doing it a bit too tedious to play around with, here are some of the more highly sought out cute farming games that’ll scratch that itch, but in a more pleasant way. Just know that these games are not solely focused on farming–a lot of the farming is something you can do on the side while playing the rest of the game naturally.
These are the games from before 2020, because though they may be oldies, they are also goodies.
- All games are in English
- These cute games range in a variety of reviews, but are positive all around
