Farm Tycoon Switch Review

Developed and published by Sonka Games, based on the original game by Cleversan Games. Released on May 27th 2022 this port to Nintendo Switch will have you ploughing, sowing, fertilising and tending to your animals. Then the rest, all while counting your pennies. So be prepared to break a sweat with this Farm Tycoon Review. Farm Tycoon - Hiring People To Do The Hard Work Due to my current fascination with farming simulation games I was eager to give this a try. My first surprise was to find that it looked real and not at all like the other games I thought were all in the same category. Such as Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town. Yes, I realised my error but ploughed on regardless. And to be honest, grew quite used to being the one looking from above and giving in...
