We Farm
Is It Any Good?
WE FARM is really a lovely game. It looks beautiful, has a wonderful, creative customization element, and promotes positive and generous interactions between friends. You really need a lot of patience to reap the rewards, though. Some parents may actually love the idea of a game that you can really only play for a few minutes at a time. Others may hate the idea of a game their children want to go back to every few hours, every day. The game's biggest flaw is in the offer of those extra "Gro" packs, which you can spend real money on. Aside from the ridiculously steep prices attached to them, they feel like cheats. The developers made the game without the need to ever buy extra Gro -- there are crops that cost you nothing to plant, so you can always make in-game money without Gro. Kids should savor the simulation aspect, and not get sucked in by the temptation of a quick fix.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
