    Hay Day is a farm simulation game that makes you wait for two hours to bake a cookie, five hours to watch a pumpkin grow, and eleven hours to meditate on apple trees blossoming.

    If this had been a freeware game, any reviewer would be quick to point out that the game mechanics are fundamentally flawed to the extend of making the game unplayable. Had Hay Day been a fixed price
    Hay Day is a farm simulation game that makes you wait for two hours to bake a cookie, five hours to watch a pumpkin grow, and eleven hours to meditate on apple trees blossoming.

    If this had been a freeware game, any reviewer would be quick to point out that the game mechanics are fundamentally flawed to the extend of making the game unplayable. Had Hay Day been a fixed price commercial game, reviewers would likewise bemoan the poor replay value and the criminally wasted potential in a game that should have been great - but failed to deliver.

    Instead Hay Day belongs to the free-to-play category of games, which seemingly makes every reviewer jump with giddy joy, and blank out the most basic fundamentals of gaming mechanics, before regurgitating scores in the high 70s - something that Hay Day simply does not deserve.

    It could have been a great casual simulator, had it only been developed with the player in mind, but the all dominating emphasis on micro-transactions cripples the game to a degree where it turns sour, repetitive and ultimately unrewarding.

    It might be just another freemium time sink, but Hay Day does everything right, and for that it deserves some praise.

    Overall, this game is a gem and a steal for being available in the App Store for free. If you're a fan of simulation games, Hay Day is visually pleasing and will definitely keep your inner agriculturalist giddy for hours.
