FarmVille 2
Recent reviews for FarmVille 2 indicate a significant decline in user experience due to persistent technical issues, an overwhelming number of in-game advertisements and events, and a perceived shift towards pay-to-win mechanics, despite many long-time players still enjoying the core gameplay.
FarmVille 2, a long-standing farming simulation game, is currently facing user frustration due to widespread connectivity problems, especially with Facebook, and frequent game freezes. Players also report an excessive number of pop-up ads and events, alongside concerns that the game has become increasingly difficult to progress without in-app purchases.

Who it's for
This game is for players who enjoy relaxing farm simulation games and are willing to tolerate frequent technical issues, numerous pop-ups, and a strong push towards in-app purchases R27R50. It might appeal to long-time fans who appreciate the core gameplay and social aspects like co-ops R6R61. It is NOT for players who expect a smooth, bug-free experience, dislike constant interruptions from ads and events, or prefer games where progress isn't heavily reliant on spending real money R33R50R80.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on technical problems and monetization issues. While many positive reviews express love for the game, they often include caveats about these same problems. The developer's notes mention birthday events, which aligns with the user complaints about too many events.

- [R6] Tamekea: I love this game so much I can’t wait to play it with my friends and family
- [R16] Long time player and Love it!: I really enjoy FarmVille 2: Country Escape, but there are a few quality-of-life improvements that would make a huge difference: • Show how many of each item I already have in my barn while viewing recipes in each production station. • Add a “Sort by Lowest Inventory” option so recipes I need most appear first. • Allow players to search for recipes and inventory item
- [R18] FarmVille 2 country escape: I have played farm games before, but this country escape is very realistic. I love how it can teach the littles what animal eats which food and how much work it takes to keep a farm up and running. Might i suggest a bit of adventure for our creatures if we dont keep them fenced in.
- [R23] Addicted: Yep this game is addictive 🎶🎶
- [R92] takes too long to do stuff: i like this game but it takes really long to do stuff, like it takes 4 hours to grow 2 peaches, which will then be gone in a matter of minutes. the only way to speed stuff up is to use keys, but the keys cost real money and i just don’t want to pay for that. it is kinda ragebait because it takes like a total of like 5 hours to complete something. on the plus side, the c
- [R61] BEST GAME EVER: This game is so addicting! It’s so much fun to play and build your farm. There are so many games or quests within the game that always keeps you busy. You can join a co-op for even more fun.
- [R220] Review: I love the game and the people in my Coop. What I dislike is all of the glitches. No matter what I try my picture will not show up. I and others in my Coop are losing event progress.
- [R1] No se puede conectar a Facebook: Buenos dias, tengo mi cuenta vinculada a Facebook y quiero volver a cargarla pero me aparece un error al tratar de hacerlo, no sé qué me recomiendan o que podría hacer… Es el mejor juego de granja pero ese error no me ha dejado jugar llevo 3 días intentando vincularla
- [R2] Problem connecting: Since the update at beginning of July, the game doesn’t connect to Facebook, and no pictures of coop available and just acting buggy in game. Is this being worked on to fix?
- [R3] Too many issues!!: I’m ready for Zynga and Facebook to fix the connection!
- [R4] Logging in: I can’t log in with Facebook or even on my web browser A lot of people are having this issue so many players zynga is gonna end up losing
- [R12] fix it!: i don’t know why i cant touch it. the game freeze on my ipad and even on my phone! its js producing sounds!
- [R13] Glitches: There are so many glitches now the game used to be better. and place for years now I can’t even log into Facebook and I tried everything.
- [R15] Buggy: Too many bugs. Not getting credit for quest, supplies gathered and can only get keys if you buy them.
- [R14] Pop ups!: You have to many pop ups every time you open the game to play. It is very frustrating and you need to change that. sometimes I just back out of the game because I’m tired of closing them down all the time!
- [R19] Too many: Too many games going on at once
- [R35] Too many pop-ups at game start: Every time I open the game there are 4-5 pop ups for events that have to be closed.
- [R37] Love it except for…: I love playing FarmVille, however, I am so unbelievably sick of the special events they do and the items used during the events clogging up my barn storage. Right now, there’s a special event that’s themed after the World Cup, I have watermelons, resin, spinach and something else all clogging up storage in my barn. I can TRY to sell them on the store like everyone else but the
- [R27] Play to win and tedious: I find it hard to enjoy this game fully. You’re expected to have an absurd amount of keys for most items you wish to get for your farm that are hard to obtain without watching over 400 ads (literally as that’s what it costs to just get a dog) or otherwise buy them with your real life money. It feels very pay to win. Then there’s the fact so many tasks require hours to comp
- [R28] Greedy companies: Your taking the fun out of playing games because of your corporate greed
- [R51] Fun however expensive.: Game is fun but limited support. I buy land and cannot put new items on it to expand the farm. Contacted support with numerous questions. Haven’t heard back. Get your wallet ready to play this game. You need KEYS for everything and you have to buy them as they are not rewarded.
- [R54] Event: How do you want us to complete the event when we wait a hour at the rainforest trail and don’t get any coconuts? I won’t use keys or real money
- [R20] Not enough space for storage: I am tired of my barn being so full I can’t do anything. I x out a lot just to make a little space. To enlarge the barn requires so much material that air have no room for them plus all the events take extra items. I get frustrated that I stop playing. Sometimes I have unlimited speed seeds but no space to use them. What a waste
- [R42] Having issues: My farm diary isn’t recording that I’m completing tasks. Super frustrating! After playing for several days, I’ve concluded that the game is very buggy. Some features like the farm diary never worked. I ran out of space in my barn frequently. I wasn’t allowed to expand my property either. I’d click on a field and it would say “available level 14” when I was level 13. Then After I had
- [R60] So cozy: Need to be more generous with the things that we need like a bigger barn and then people wouldn’t wanna play more instead of get frustrated and shut it down cause I get frustrated
- [R40] Glitches and lack support: I have been playing for about 4 years or so and it’s got progressively worse. The glitches never get fixed and they have way too many events and things going on. Reaching out to support to fix glitches are meet with no help or promises to get back with a resolution. Only to never hear back. Don’t purchase things in this game if you do download. You’ll only be disappointe
- [R71] Scam game: This game is a scam. So many glitches in the event inside this game is ridiculous. I completed a task for the boat race and it shows I didn’t complete the task. I reached out to support and that was a joke. What they said they were gonna do and what they did was totally different things. They said they would fix the issue and make it right they did not do thatbeing ghosted. 1000% do not
- [R82] Don’t waste your time: I have had a problem with cards I need to complete a task. For over a month new cards don’t drop. I can’t complete it, so I won’t get the reward. I have told them a few times. They won’t do anything about it. They aren’t looking into so I can complete it. All they say is it’s random. I haven’t gotten a new card in over a month, I still have seven days left. They still won’t
- [R17] Love this game but…: I love this game been playing for nearly ten years…I just don’t think it’s fair to have people who are on level 300 spawn into my country fair board when I’m only level 40? It doesn’t matter how much stuff I craft or make I will never be able to get as many points as them and it’s just not right…it should go by level, not by rank…just spent 90 keys trying to get a boost. I sho
- [R24] Back out option!: This game is really fun! I love playing it. But they need a back out or cancel button something like that because I hate when I accidentally click an event, but I didn’t mean to start and it won’t let you cancel it. It forces you to play that event whether you want to or not. Then you end up with a bunch of junk and you’re barn full for no reason. And it also makes you waste keys
- [R25] The monkey thing: I have a broken elbow and can’t play as I used to. I’m tired of trying to feed that stupid monkey!
- [R39] Too many glitches: I finished my bonus round in the boat race. It didn’t go away, but made me do it again so now it shows me doing it two times when I already completed it do you think that they do anything? That would be a big fat NO! I’ve written to them about other glitches with screenshots and they do nothing not compensate me not fix it not anything.
- [R67] Advertisement won’t close after I have watch it: After watching the full ad I expect to see a countdown or an x sign to exit but I cannot fit these sign anywhere. Have to fully close out the game to resume playing which is annoying
- [R73] Whatnot Freezes: Whatnot Ad videos always freeze and I need to exit and restart game.
- [R88] In app ads: When watching the ads to get rewards the advertising freezes too often causing you to close out the app and lose the reward.
- [R243] Ads do not work: Overall fun game to pass the time. Does well for teaching and enhancing multi-tasking skills. There are small in-app games that allow you to watch ads to earn additional rewards. The issue here is that you watch the ad, but you do not receive the reward. Bait and switch. Either fix the issue or remove the option to earn rewards with ads. I hate watching an ad and then it either do
- [R26] help😭: i love this game, however, lately when i try to play it i don’t get past the loading screen before it freezes and kicks me out or has me on there for HOURS on end. is there anything i can do? the game is updated to the most recent update, i’ve attempted to restart my device, and im unsure what else to do
- [R5] Horrible: In the last three days, your system has been horrible. You can no longer login via Facebook and no one is telling you anything.
- [R33] FREEZING AND SLOW GAMEPLAY: Since the Anniversary event FarmVille has become increasingly slow, game freezing and is slow to respond to scrolling. The Dev’s are overloading the game with 5-6 events going on at once. I have tried playing other games and those games respond normally and play normally. Therefore it isn’t my internet connection nor my IPad or the IOS, IT’S FARMVILLES FAULT!!! This is
- [R43] Pop ups: Wish there was less pop ups for the different events they have going on. Also wish I could have more of option to open event pop ups instead of being locked into the same weekly thing. Also is there a way to help with the lag because of all the pop ups in the beginning????
- [R50] SO Many Pop-ups, will be deleting: I open the game and every time am hit with 5-8 pop-ups to clear before I can actually play. Incredibly annoying user experience. Too bad. Also happens when switching back from another app. Consider different session mgmt approach.
- [R72] Why do I even do this because you don’t help me at all my coins reached 40,000 and now I can’t do an: Make it to difficult to buy anything or level up! Everything you want to buy you have to have keys and it’s so hard to earn them and then the stuff in the barn you have to throw away in order to harvest again! Please let me know some easier steps
- [R80] Pay for everything: Game sucks we have to pay for everything we want good stuff
