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.
Just deleted my hay day after being a regular player for few years. Reason, kicked out of derby after working for prizes, losing them and no explanation as to why. Last two I joined? At least a fore warning, but to do it the way it's being done is bullying. So deleted your game. Saw on forum other people complained of this too. Realize some people are competitive but this is unacceptable.
This is a great addictive game and I got up to level 63, really loved it. But got tired of endlessly having my diamonds misspent with a too easy click (supposed to have double click options) on ridiculous things that I did not mean to spend them on. This was a distressing element that took away all the enjoyment from the game. Gave it all up when 185 diamonds were taken off me with a click while I was trying to do something else. Once they install the double click option on every action this will be an even better game.
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.
